Superb film. Dark, brooding and noir neo-gothic in a style that only Japanese film-makers can pull off without looking like prize dickheads.

Imagine taking a tub of caviar and mixing it in with your favourite ice cream, throwing in some bits of the engine of your favourite sports car and some of the dismembered limbs of of your favourite sports team. It's a bit like this. The constituent parts are all excellent in their own right, but have been put together in a ridiculously hotch-potch way. Wasted talents of Zhang Ziyi, Gong Li and Ken Watanabe... And excellent source material too. Could have been so much more.

Far better than I imagined. Good stuff and Hemsworth makes a GOOD Thor!

Much better than I thought! Exciting and fun.

Christoph Walz is amazing. Michael Fassbender is great. Brad Pitt is funny. The overall plot is a bit sketchy, but the individual tableaux are superb.

Flippin' awesome hero ensemble film! If you are even vaguely interested in comic books or action movies then this is a MUST. Snappy dialogue, amazing set-pieces, superb effects... excellent stuff!

Cinematic genius... Subtle... Witty... Great script and oscar-worthy performances from all the key players. Eugene Tackleberry is one of cinema's greatest characters.

Ridiculous B-movie-esque film from the king of such things. Terribly good fun.

Ah Rodriguez... How we love your stupid goofy horror films.

Stupid but relatively funny. I'm not sure why it had quite the rapturous reception that it did though. There are better films out there like this. Try something like Old School, Swingers or even something like Go.

David Fincher's dark psycho-thriller-comedy-buddy movie. Ish. The film where Brad Pitt properly gains some credibility.

The only film that Michael Owen has watched in full, apparently. "Kiss the egg."

Simply brilliant. Jazz flute. Gun show. The facial hair...

The Frat Pack make us all laugh ourselves silly in this going-past-age comedy.

Exceptionally good fun and much-lampooned since.

Hmmm. I want to like it more than I do.

A flying castle... Robots... Sky pirates... Seriously, who wants more than that?

Definitely worth watching if you like teen slacker comedies.

Brad Bird really can't go wrong at all - this adaptation of Ted Hughes' classic is a fantastic slice of family entertainment.

Looks beautiful. Is awful. The fight sequences are beautifully choreographed and the CGI creates some fantastic dreamscapes, but the story is god-awful and the bits between the computer-game-cut-scenes are just woefully acted. Zack Snyder should make music videos.

Huzzah! Matthew Vaughn wins again with a superhero flick! Fassbender makes a very good (if somewhat Irish) angry young Magneto, whilst Macavoy continues to make good films.

Far and away Brian De Palma's best film, and one which saw Al Pacino shoot to superstardom. Subsequently hijacked by scallies and pre-pubescent gamers.

Stylish full debut from QT.

Better than its goofy title might suggest.

Stephen Chow's comedy kung-fu stylings turn their focus on organised crime with hilarious results.

Vincent Price plays the iconic Matthew Hopkins in this cult classic.

Disappointing, but still worth watching if you're lazy and it comes on TV onn a Sunday afternoon.

Disappointing film-by-numbers.

Jeunet & Caro serve up a dose of their ubiquitous quirky cinema in this dark world of comedy cannibalism.

Cronenberg at possibly his finest.

Disturbing yet very good.

This review may contain spoilers.

Kevin Spacey is Keyser Soze.

Gawd bless Richard Pryor and John Candy!

I will never forgive Emilio Estevez for this.

Only Chris Columbus could have made this film.

Beautiful to watch and with stunning choreography.

Simply beautiful cinematography and a heart-rending story.

Great chinese epic starring Michelle Yeoh, Zhang Ziyi and Chow Yun Fat.

Preferable to Ang Lee's irable effort.

Actually pretty good, which went against all my expectations.

Daft three-quel starring far too many characters. A fanboy's wet dream but a carcrash of a film.

Stupid title, decent film.

The film that made it possible to imagine credible comic-book conversions.

Touching story set in rural China, where an almost unrecognisable Zhang Ziyi balances family life with love.

Sad tale of a cantonese gay couple who end up in Buenos Aires and break up. Says it all, really...

Excellent time-travel funfest with a huge side-serving of 80's-ness!

Not as good as the first one.

Please don't make me watch this again.

I wouldn't watch this again if the Earth depended on it.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Sloth love chunk!
