Reviews

As a Quentin Tarantino fan I was really looking forward to this movie and expected it to be awesome.

I was kinda wrong.

The start of the movie is slow, really slow, but necessary to explain the characters to the audience.

The middle of the movie is great, the tension builds and there is a scene with Samuel L Jackson that is, lets just say, different.

Then the ending.. ah, the ending. What a mess, its truly truly awful, after investing so much time to build up the characters the ending is so quick and so bad its actually laughable.

Make your own mind up but it certainly let me down.

I really liked this film, the acting was spot on, the direction superb, the concept was fantastic, the effects top notch and it was visually stunning, however..

As good as it was/is I felt it lost its way at the worst time, near the end, when I really wanted the movie to deliver I sort of felt let down, this is very subjective as friends have told me they loved the ending, but the whole point of any review is all about your own personal experience and I'm afraid I just didn't feel the ending at all.

That being said I would always recommend seeing this film, its a fantastic piece of cinema and extremely thought provoking.

Matt Damon plays a great cameo as the panto villain too :-)

This movie is absolutely terrible.

Imagine melting a 4kg ball of Edam, a 12kg slab of cheddar and 47 cases of mozzarella, it still wouldn't be anywhere near as cheesy as this piece of drivel.

I was dragged along to see it and for the entire time I sat there wondering if this was some kind of sick joke I wasn't in on.

The effects were decent but lets be honest, which movie doesn't have decent effects nowadays? The acting is absolutely horrific, the rock has the acting ability of a disabled fox and I wanted the two English toff kids to die every time they appeared on the screen.

The girl in it, although very attractive, has the personality of a sprout.

Bah! if anyone offers to watch this movie in your presence please punch them in the face.

The ending where the rock says something like "now we rebuild" and the American flag unfurls in the wind made me want to spew my popcorn all over the cinema floor.

Avoid at all costs.
