This is the first movie I have ever given a rating this high, the reason being the researchers obviously did their job very well as one of the characters is obviously suffering from PTSD. This is an illness I suffer from myself and could so relate to why he was like he is, It was shocking how realistic it made that character seem to me, and I have never experienced that emotion from any film I have ever watched. Putting all that aside this is a proper heartfelt sport/action/drama movie anyway and is well worth a watch, and will leave you feeling glad you gave up the time to do so. I started watching this movie with low expectations, as i wrongly assumed it would be another story-less waste of an hour and a half or more of my life, but was shocked and surprised how good it is. Watch it you will not regret it.

The Shouting Men
(2010)
Underrated funny comedy !!
4 May 2010
I feel this film has been underrated by many people, after all it is meant to be a comedy and not a true to life story, I have read some other reviews that appear to compare the movie and characters to real life situations but I feel the intention was not to mimic true facts and make a movie filled with amusing characters instead
I first watched this expecting it to be a lot worse than it was so was pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be a pretty funny movie; some of the characters are hilarious.
Parts of the storyline were predictable, but even so it did not take away from the fact it was a funny movie well worth watching.

This Movie is absolutely Hilariously awful
2 March 2010
I do not have a good word to say about this film... One way to improve It would be to release a version with no audio or video. I could Tolerate that for 118 minutes a lot easier.
I hear there may be a 3rd one made in this serious, why oh why I ask when this one (the second) in the series has ruined any credibility the film could ever have.
Well anyway onto the movie itself, this has the worst acting / Storyline and effects of any movie I have watched in a long time. It is Like an animated comic book, but a loss less interesting. I could not Stop laughing at how bad it was.
That's all I can say really, so thanks for reading.

The Tournament

Good effects but no plot *** WARNING Spoilers included*******
20 February 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Well where do i start, This movie has absolutely no plot, absolutely everything is predictable and half of it impossible or unlikely. for example there was a big fight scene in a nightclub. Various assassins were pulling out guns, shotguns , and machine guns.. (how many nightclub doormen would allow you entry carrying these, I am surprised a rocket launcher was not used as well) the effects and fight scenes are good considering they are over the top, there is a lot of gore also for those of you that love a gorefest. Shame there was not a more interesting script though, this is the major letdown for this movie. It is watchable though, but be prepared that the script was as much use as a chocolate teapot when they made this movie.
Malice in Wonderland
(2009)
Awful ,
14 February 2010
I have just watched this movie , and want to ask the producers for a refund on the 87 minutes of my life i have just wasted, i would rather have sat here painting grains of rice, that would have been a better use of 87 minutes.
Back to the film itself, Danny Dyer and Maggie Grace are good in the film, the script is absolutely awful, the directing awful, and then to add to the calamity there are areas of the script that suddenly steal ideas from another film i watched this week that i will not name.
I highly recommend giving this a miss, the people that gave this a high rating must either have been the rest of the cast of the film , or fallen asleep at the start, dreamed of a good storyline, then woke up thinking that was the movie they just watched..

The Village

SPOILER *** please don't read this if you don't want 2 know what happens

The Twist is what I think ruins the film. Normally when a film has a twist ending. There has been a lot more going on in the rest of it to make it worthwhile. But with this film there are times when the film feels like it has come to a standstill, But in your mind you are saying to yourself, 'That's OK the good bit is coming up soon, and it'll make it worthwhile watching the film'. Then the twist ruins the whole illusion that something is going to happen.
The plot behind it all however is quite good, but due to the lack of actual action is wasted.
