This is difficult. It's been a few weeks since I saw this at the cinema and I'm actually struggling to anything that stands out about it. I don't have the best memory in the world as it is, but aside from Gentleman Bane and that Batman has been gone for 8 years, the rest of it is some kind of mish mash blur of set pieces and incoherent flitting about.
I enjoyed it, but it lacks any kind of impact that The Dark Knight had, and any kind of stylistic individuality that Batman Begins had (which doesn't hold up well, by the way).
So what I'm trying to say is I saw it, and I enjoyed it but I don't actually care about it.

I've been to see Dredd twice, mainly because one friend couldn't wait and one couldn't make it so it's a good job that it's a cracking film.
I can't speak for people who are familiar with Judge Dredd, just as I can't speak for those that have a raging nerd-boner for him, because I fall into that camp of knowing enough about the universe and having read enough 2000AD to get the references, but not enough to notice when things aren't 'right', but I absolutely loved it.
The characters are true to their comic counterparts, which is the main thing, but also that they transitioned it to screen at a point where Dredd wasn't know city-wide (and as such is in the time line where Mega City One is flatter than in the comic, it seems).
The film, for me, hold up because it's got everything my inner nerd wants from an action film; shooting, sarcasm, violence, splashes of gore, a dab of humour and all round bad-assery. It's as close to a modern day Robocop as we're ever likely to see, and it is fucking glorious.

I was going to write something big and clever for this film review, but I can't be arsed. It's fucking amazing. Seriously.

Quite simply one of the best films ever made. If you don't like it you're probably dead, inside or otherwise.

I like Tarantino's films. They're always watchable (even if a little padded out and over long at times) and there is always at least 1 scene that is considered to be an absolute belter. In Inglourious Basterds it's the first scene that steals the film, but it's Cristoph Waltz that shines through as the complete smarm-bastard that is the Jew Hunter.
Brad Pitt is seriously over-wrought but hilariously so, Fassbender is worthy of a man-crush and the ending is brilliantly daft. If you don't like long scenes of dialogue it ain't going to float your boat, but if you like Tarantino I can't see why you wouldn't like this.

Not subtle at all, but a cracking film. Dark, bleak, grim and funny by turn, it's a brilliant watch.

The only other film that's as Orange and Teal as this is one of the Harry Potters that I forgot the name of. Could be Order of the Phoenix. It's just a fucking eyesore in of grading. However, that didn't stop me enjoying the shit out of it.
Big, loud, stupid, brilliant the best thing about this film is the performances put in by the main characters. Not that they're particularly Oscar worthy, more that they didn't try to emulate George Peppard, Dwight Schultz, Dirk Benedict and Mr T but that they played the CHARACTERS from the TV series, and played them true. I like that.
Special mention to Sharlto Copley who stole every single scene he was in. Howling Mad Murdock indeed.

Curious. It's a very warming tale but it's one of those documentaries that seems to always be playing it safe, not really delving into the bits of Kevin Clash's life that would be incredibly interesting (like his separation). It's well worth a watch but it's just a bit too "oh, well that's nice".

when you were little? waiting for the Muppets to come on on a Saturday afternoon? I do. At me nans, watching the Muppet show, hearing my Grandad taking the piss out of it. The Muppets are amazing and anyone that doesn't think the Muppers are amazing needs to take stock of what they've done in their life to get to the shallow, empty, burned out husk of a human being they are now.
This move treads a very sugary fine line, but keeps itself on the right side of it. I'd never really been a fan of Jason Segal. I mean, I don't hate the bloke, I've never seen anything with him in it and he doesn't offend me, but he's just inconsequential to my movie watching habits. However, I do have a new found respect for him given everything he put into this film because it's bloody brilliant. Also, the soundtrack is proper, proper fucking epic. I laughed a lot, I loved it a lot.

Burn it with fire then piss on the ashes. Fucking abominable.

Best Christmas film ever. Except Muppet Christmas Carol.

Crank 2 makes Crank look like Macbeth. Seriously.
Ok, I'll expand. You know when you see a film so utterly ridiculous that you think "Well, they'll never make a sequel to that. And if they do it can't be as stupid as this." Well, they did. Crank 2 is so spectacularly retarded that it really shouldn't exist. I can imagine people watching it and saying things like "It devalues cinema as an artform." and "People who watch and like films like this are knuckle-dragging apes with no taste and should be shot like dogs!" You know what? Fucking ook. This film is amazing.
Also, massive respect for letting Statham keep his accent and getting the rhyming slang "Strawberry tart" in there.

Jesus. Have you seen this film? Have you? you should, because it's like every 80's action flick you've seen but slapped through a filter of pure cynicism and despair then turned up to Spinal Tap on the WTF-o-meter. It's fucking brilliant, stupid, unbelievable, retarded. The only thing more stupid and brilliant than it is Crank 2. Speaking of which...

This film, man. This fucking film. I badgering my mum to buy me the video from Poundstretcher in Worksop when I was like 9 or some shit. Seeing Murphy get his hand shot off fucked me up for life, I think. Seeing Bodicker get his throat removed with the data spike was a close second. And then maybe Emile stumbling out of the toxic waste. Man, you don't get effects like that any more.
When I was younger, it was an ultraviolent sci-fi cracker. Dark, gritty, bloody, funny, quotable. Then I grew up and it still is all those things, but I get the cynical underlying satire of it all. Thing is, a lot of what is being parodied is coming true, and that scares the fucking life out of me. This film is classic. Epic. Timeless. Brilliant. I don't have enough superlatives for it, it is simply just amazing.

BAAAAAAHN BAAAAHN BAAAAAAAAAHN BA DA DA DA BA BAAAAAAAHN! WHAT THE HELL'S A GIGAWATT?! MAKE LIKE A TREE AND GET OUT OF HERE.
Seriously, if you don't love this film, you might as well kill yourself.

I'm not sure Aardman have done a bad film. I mean, I've not seen Flushed Away (mainly because it seemed a bit pointless) but everything else of theirs makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I also had achey face from laughing so much at it. It's typically British humour, and some might be a bit obvious but god damn it it's just far too lovely to be cynical about.

A funny one, this. It's very good as everyone tells you but I've only ever watched it a couple of times. I think a review is completely surplus to requirements but for those that have been living in a cave for the last umpty bump years avoid the theatrical cut. It's amazing how shit a narrative can make a film.

A cracking film. Funny, warm, and more about the people than the zombies which I like a lot. Best cameo ever and Emma Stone looking OMNOMNOMNOMNOM. Marvellous.

I so wanted this to be good, I really did. Aside from Woody Harrelson and the destruction of nearly everything it's just rubbish. Not even Cusack can save it. Avoid.

Hnnnnng.....gnnnnnnn...Right, my old nan (god rest her zombie carcass) always said "If you've got nowt nice to say about summat then say nowt." She was probably right and you should never ignore the advice of your elders but this time she can sod. Avatar is fucking rubbish.
Aside from being as derivative as you can get (what with Cameron pillaging stylistically from his own back catalogue among other things) I couldn't tell you a damn thing about the characters aside from the fact that Sigourney Weaver's character was probably called Grace.
People keep justifying this fucking film to me by telling me it was worth seeing it in 3D because it looks stunning. Great, thanks for that, I still want my 2+ hours and my 11 fucking quid back. It's so mind numbingly dull, man. The one saving grace of it is Michelle Rodriguez doesn't look like a man any more.
I honestly believe that had this film tanked like it should have 3D would not be blighting us as it still is. Instead it took billions of dollars and we're stuck with that particular white elephant until the end of our days.

Rollicking, storming, balls out action adventure with the ever watchable Downey Jr. It's quite surprising how well he and Jude Law bounce off of each other, with lots of good chemistry and banter.
Decent story, cracking action, some dodgy CG and Rachel McAdams. Oh and Mark Strong chewing the scenery like a motherfucker.

Didn't see the ending coming, but that's probably because I wasn't paying attention. Nice ideas ruined by being completely pedestrian in every sense.

I'm incredibly conflicted about this film. Tim Burton has been a one trick pony for pretty much his entire career, using the same actors and same creative types to dress his stories up in the same swirly, stripy bollocks that he always has. When I first watched this I was struck by how mediocre I found it, and how predictable. But, bizarrely, I've watched it a good 7 or 8 times since, and I'm still not sure why. Alice (I can't the lasses name an I can't be arsed to look it up on IMDB) might be part of it as she's quite excellent, and Depp getting away from Jack Sparrow's accent to play an MPD inflicted Hatter is pretty good.
It must have something about it or I wouldn't keep watching it.

A novel spin on the superhero theme, but something I'd only watch once. Excessively violent and has a young girl calling bad guys 'cunts'. Worth price of ission alone, I suppose.

More Orange and Teal(tm) grading. Sigh. Not as good as the first one, all over the place with the story and generally only worth watching because of Downey JR and Mickey Rourke. Paltrow is pretty fit in it though. And I suppose Scarlett Johansson makes it worth watching. I dunno, it just feels one of the weaker Marvel films.

I'm not sure there's much you can say about Toy Story at this point. It's just amazing in every single respect it can be and yes, I cried a bit.

I didn't watch this for ages due to the niggling feeling that because it wasn't a Pixar film it'd be a bit rubbish. Man, I was wrong and very glad I was too.
It's a cracking film, very warm without being too sugary, very funny, some decent songs and looks absolutely stunning in HD. It's worth your time.

It's blue and orange, but the story makes more sense than Revenge of the Fallen. I gave up on Bay doing anything vaguely like Gen 1 after the first film, so it's just a case of eyes on, brain off, enjoy explosions.
Megatron is criminally underused in this film, though. The most bad arse he's been probably since Beast Wars and he's in it for about 6 minutes. Balls.
Anyway yeah, it's ok.

Not nearly as offensive as I was dreading and probably McG's best film (although that's not actually saying much really). It made me laugh and not regret spending the £7 on a cinema ticket, which is all I can ask for really. Also, Reese Witherspoon? With anything you like, mate.

People don't like this film. I understand why people don't like this film, but that's mainly because they're joyless idiots who probably tell their kids that Father Christmas doesn't exist at a very early age.
Harsh? Maybe, but it makes me sad that something so completely bonkers, so utterly unique and so astoundingly fresh isn't enjoyed by absolutely everyone in the world ever. It's a live action cartoon, it's completely preposterous, it's an old fashioned up and down rollercoaster of a film told in HD with so much CG that George Lucas would weep tears of unabashed joy.
I love it. The final race is pure cinematic amazement, and makes me want to jump up and down on my settee screaming "GO SPEEEEEEEEEEED GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" while fist pumping the air. So, SO good.

This is probably the most uncomfortable film I've ever watched. It's clever and well worth watching once but I wouldn't watch it again.
