Very disappointed in Prometheus. It doesn't appear to know what it's supposed to be about, asks more questions than it answers. Visually stunning though - first time I've actually enjoyed 3D.

Yeah pretty much spot on, beautiful cinematography but no story-line, doesn't know where it's going.

Prometheus is very well put together but just doesn't hit a home run. Guy Pearce is unrecognisable in it and doesn't do much. There will be a sequel I assume.

Watch Man on a Ledge last night. Highlight was Genesis Rodriguez in her skimpies

The picture doesn't do it justice. A great moment in movie history.

I would agree. It's a fairly ok science fiction film and visually looks great. But it is very disjointed and I get the feeling that Ridley Scott wasn't able to cut it down to just over 2hrs without leaving big gaps in the narrative. I'll look forward to the inevitable Director's Cut to see whether it hangs together better. But still not bad value for four quid on a bank holiday afternoon..

Went to see MIB 3 last night, was entertaining but wouldn't watch it again for a while (apart from the start with Nicole Sherzinger dressed to impress). Some critics said the ending is emotional and they were right, some guy started crying at the end.

Got Carnage out last night - what a load of shite from start to finish.

Capt Pat · June 14, 2012, 05:33:04 PM

I thought Carnage was pretty good. It is a play set in one apartment featuring just the four actors. No action or variety but it is not that long.

anyone seen any good movies that are in cinema at min?

Went to see Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Nothing is great about the movie, quite dissapointing to be honest. The writers make the story more complexed unnecessarily. IMO I would have liked to have seen more of a build up, it is a good idea for a movie but poorly written.

machine gun preacher was some show also, better than i expected

If ever there was a movie I judged by its title it was this one . . . sounds pish, looks pish and any review I've read has said it's pish! Surely a Movie called Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is going to be pish is it not?

Watched 21 Jump Street and was pleasantly surprised by it given my massive hatred of Channing Tatum. Although I think his reprieve is short lived as I saw a trailer for some kind of RomCom with him as a male stripper.

Watched a couple of foregin movies at the weekend. Mesrine 1 & 2 based on a true story about a French Gangster. I was very impressed it was excellent!!
