Brilliant movie. A modern day masterpiece really. It looked amazing, all aspects of the sound & music brought it to life, the actors were top notch.. the director has really done a perfect job with an end product which is finely polished and full of symbolism.

Eagle Eye sees Shia LaBeouf, in a much more mature role take on a more serious story with an outstanding cast. Eagle Eye delivers great action, although frequently overwhelming and over the top. While the plot, a computer turned bad trying to take over the world, is far from original, Eagle Eye focuses on the story of two strangers who presumably have no connection to the overall story. The introduction was slow, while the conclusion was rushed, Eagle Eye could have had a steadier pace.
Definitely worth seeing but to really enjoy this movie, you have to overlook its unoriginality.

I thought that 'The Kingdom' would be a typical Hollywood movie where a major US army team with the FBI entered the middle east killing everyone and everything in sight, in order to get back a hostage. This movie does have it's amazing gun-fight scenes but it shows reality in a great way. The ending was extremely meaninful, even if not in a way we wish it was. I am glad it was not a typcial hollywood ending where everyone lives happily ever after.
Great movie!

I never thought I would go into a 'chick flick' and like it but I really really enjoyed this movie and I would see it again. It was original, clever and witty and i loved the characters. If you're looking for a good time see this movie.

The Good:
- Fast paced action
- Intense story
- Amazing special effects
The Bad:
- No ending!!
- Motion sickness caused by the filming
- There was no point spending 20 to 30 minutes building up the characters profiles at the beggining just so they all get killed in the end.
Overall:
A good action movie with many faults. All i can say is that I hope Lost doesn't end this way!

When I first saw the adverts for this i was lead to thinking that this was a classic Will Smith movie where he is the humourous guy who makes calls and its a movie filled with action about him killing that bad guys. I was mislead and I'm really pissed off. A lot of the movie was too slow, the dog scene was too sad and wasn't necessary and every scene with 'the bad guys' was far too scary. The animation was brilliant but it even creeped me out..along with the sound effects. The plot could have been great, similar to Independance Day but the ending was too rushed. Don't bother seeing this..

Along with Hot Fuzz, this has to be one of the funniest films of the year. The add looked brilliant but when my friend saw it and told me it wasn't good, I thought it would be another one of the many blockbusters this year which turned out horribly but I was wrong. This was a brilliant Adam Sandler movie with an all star cast and a fabulous story. I understand why many didn't like it due to crude humour and homersexual themese but I really enjoyed it and would see it again any day.

The story of this movie was very inspirational but they could have done it better. If they wanted humour, they should have done witty humour not some of the stupid stuff they did. Although I have to admit alot of it was very funny! Some of the cast was talented but the 2 main characters were pathetic if you ask me.

I don't want to put this movie down but it wasn't the best so far. Of course it looked great but there were some issues with it. While it was a long movie it seemed really short and the 1 year of hogwarts seemed to be 2 events rather than what they do in the other movies is show the time passing. Some much loved characters like Lupin, Ron and Hagrid seemed to say very little in the whole movie. For all of my Harry Potter life I have thought that Voldermort was the most evil person out there but the way they did it in this movie him and his gang didn't seem so evil and scary and trust me, it's not just because i'm getting older. Apart from that it was very entertaining but the reason it's not my favourite is probably due to me disliking this book the least out of all 6 so far.

This movie was really entertaning and everything I expected it to be and more. This is deffinintly Michael Bay's best so far. I do have a lot of negative comments to make even though they are minute. The acting wasn't brilliant and as previously said, corny at some points. The fact that the good transformers were colourful made the movie a thousand time more unrealistic than it already was. Some action scenes went on for way too long. The actualy views were tiring and I came out dissy with a headache.
Apart from that...entertaining!

A very typical second movie, a try hard original. While it was enjoyable and entertaining at some points, it was confusing. Not to much to say about this one but the 3rd is much, much better.

This is the fakest movie I have ever seen. From the animation of the snakes to everything being unrealistic. I fear snakes and even I didn't get as scared as I should have because of the extremely fake animation. The storyline is actually pretty clever but some small things are unrealistic. For instance, the plane was a jumbo jet which can carry roughly 500 people. They said it was half full meaning there should be 250 people roughly. Well in this movie there were only about 40 people all together including those who died. Other unrealistic things included snakes being eveywhere that Humans were, so when a person puts there hand somewhere to get something of course theres a snake there. Some of the death scenes were disgusting but thats ok. Also if this happened in real life, rather than 20 people or so making it through a million deadly snakes to a safe are, only like 10 of them would have made it. Out of all of the survivors only 1 or 2 had a snake bite which is stupid because most of them would'v had.
Apart from ALL of that, it was actually quite enjoyable.

This is a great movie and I only found out after I watched it that it's a remake. It literally has an all star cast with the best of the best which really helps. Some bits are a little bit boring but overall its an excellent, enjoyable movie.

I'm really sad that I didn't like this because when I saw the bad critics, I blocked them out and gave this movie a chance but it's exactly what I thought it would be like. The first 2 were just brilliant, classic material that should never be forgotten and then comes along a 3rd which is typical and reuses the same old humour. They literally used the same jokes in the last movie which I was really annoyed by. The story isn't special and the humour is really childish and slapstick. It has some good things to it but I sitll didn't enjoy it. If they do make a 4th and 5th, I hope they rethink everything.

I really didn't no what to expect from this, the first was pretty good but not brilliant. The second I saw bad ratings from the critics I was sure it would be bad because so far this year they have been right with big movies like Pirates 3, Shrek 3 and Spiderman 3. For the first time in a while, I came really happy and entertained. Sure, its pretty typical but much better than the first. You must see it! The humour is still there and it's an alright storyline.

This movie was really, really good and much better than the previous. The story was understandable which is an improvement from the previous as well. Everything is smoothly put together right through which is amazing and the actual plot is very clever and well thought through. There are some negatives tho. Some scenes were boring and pointless and some made you dizzy by the cameras views. I would have liked it alot more if there was some gun action. There wasn't 1 bullet fired through this whole movie. Deffinintly a great 3rd movie in the series.
