Outlined a plot, and then commenced into a frenzy of action sequences. After half an hour I forgot what it was about, the plot now lost in the mists of time. If the director had ever watched a good action film, the plot and the characters unravel during the film, revealing information, slowly building to a climax.

It also always surprises me that the characters can be experts in a wide range of extreme sports, that each require years of practice and repetition to master. I guess that viewers are now considered to have the attention span of a newt, and must be bombarded with a relentless sequence of action scenes, to a point that the viewer has lost the plot and no longer cares.

I applaud efforts to make films in Cornwall, about fictional characters living in the County. This film though is more about the process of film making as a creative art form, rather than an engaging story. I had hoped that it would build on the success of the previous offering, but unfortunately it had the opposite effect, and caused the Director to nose dive into a barrel of artistic mediocrity.

If you want an idea of what this film was trying to achieve, or should have achieved, then watch the film 'Land' starring Robin Wright (out on Netflix), that tells a similar story far better. I actually fell asleep part way through, it was that dull.

A great cast wasted on a low budget pantomime. It's like watching the death of British comedy. Recycled comedy cliches delivered with the finesse of a face slap with a spade. Apparently overreacting, dumbfounded expressions and implausible situations are hilarious.

John Cleese is either desperate for an acting role, or so wealthy that turning up to a car crash of a movie, gives him perverse pleasure.

With CGI even fake characters can be believable, as Avatar has shown. This film demonstrates that plastic personalities acted out by actors that should know better, is OK as long as there is cash in their banks at the end.

A enjoyable action film with some great scenes. A great film suspends disbelief. Sadly towards the end, it followed the current trend to over-action an action film, with each subsequent scene gaining less credibility than the previous one, until disbelief set in.

He accumulated enough injury to put anyone out of action, but carried on regardless in the next scene.

Well worth a watch as entertainment, with a great cast.

Melissa Barrera is a beautiful and talented actress to watch. Thought the whole idea was clever. The use of flashbacks to help tell her story was pure theatre.

Easy to say how you would react in that situation, but the fact that she couldn't walk downhill without going 'around in circles', which would require her to walk back uphill again, seemed odd. Well worth a watch though.

Daniel Craig dragged the Bond movies out of the wilderness years of Dalton and Brosnan. The franchise was probably prompted to reboot by the Bourne movies. This was a great movie, that paid homage to the Bond movies of old, whilst tempering the ridiculous slapstick that Brosnan brought to the franchise. Beautifully shot scenes and locations, and great cars.

Restores my faith in great films. Gritty, epic and bleak bombed landscapes set the scene. The characters contrast this hopeless scene, on a mission to save lives. The viewer is engrossed in their adventures and tragedies they encounter on their journey, willing them to succeed.

The accents were difficult to follow at first, but what followed was one of the funniest films I've seen in a long time. Dark humour if that's your kind of thing.

There's a current trend to cram as much action as possible at the end of a movie. This results in a frenzy of scenes, that lose impact the longer they go on. After a while I started to wonder when it was going to end. It seems that CGI is King and more important than involving the viewer in the story.

I like the majority of Tarantino movies. That doesn't mean I'm biased, just that I like his style. This is up there with his best movies.

Comedy, action and almost slapstick violence, which has context and doesn't dominate the storyline.

Good cast, but the plot went adrift. In the first MIB the characters were introduced and became familiar, with the plot developing from there. In this film the main characters played almost a bit part, it was a paint by numbers film, drawing inspiration from previous films without the flair. It tried to explain the characters towards the end, by which time I didn't care. I also fell asleep and couldn't tell you how it finished. I loved the previous three films.
