Today's Movie

Immortals..from the team that brought you 300. Mickey Rourke was watchable but that's about all. They didn't even have a War Rhino like they had in 300 :thunbdown: A bit of a CGI heavy hodge podge really and it certainly wasn't Sparta!

what Alf said

I quite liked 300, but watched Immortals last night and found it very slow/predictable/uninvolving :thunbdown:

I watched immortals a few months ago.

I have no memory of what happens in the film, genuinely forgettable.

Just watched Batman, the recent one.

Bane has a silly voice.

I'm 60 minutes into Lawless.... Not sure I can last much longer. Interesting to note after I'd bought it that Nick Cave (The Bad Seeds) wrote the screenplay.

Did you get to the end, I enjoyed it, although Tom Hardy's dialogue was slightly ear straining at times.

Just about made it. Not my thing.

Best film I've seen for a long time is the best exotic marigold. very much a who's who of british acting.. simple movie, but just very watchable.

I enjoyed skyfall, thought the ending was a tad odd.. all that for M to die anyway.. wanted to know where the final scenes were set as they were in glencoe for a bit, but the end looked more east highlandsy.. turned out that was all down in the south.. surrey or somewhere..

I'd really hoped that you hadn't given away a major plot spoiler about M. Alas not.

Finally got round to watching Avengers assemble last night.
First half of the film was a bit annoying and diassapointing, second half much better.

Watched this last night. Very entertaining.

I think the best line is where Captain America and Tony Stark (Iron Man) are arguing. Captain America asks "what are you without your suit?" Stark replies, "genius-billionnaire-playboy-philanthropist."

Sounds a bit like my take on The Sweeney, 2 hours of my life I'll never get back, I think the plot was lifted from a 5 years old homework, it was ridiculously violent and as it's set in today's 'gentler' times it's completely unbelievable :thunbdown:

Bought Prometheus on DVD for a second look. Its crap.

I mean, its a good story idea with some interesting plot devices. But the characterisation is appallingly thin and really badly acted. Theron looks like she couldn't be bothered, Rapace is just plain stupid and the ensemble cast poorly developed. Compared to the original Alien where all the characters were well drawn.

I think its in the editing. Something somewhere did not gel.

It's a while since I saw it but I agree with the comment on the editing, the film is just too short to tell a decent story, the advert for Prometheus on Youtube is better than the actual film.
