Saw The Amazing Spiderman last week.  Great show.  Better casting than Toby Maguire.

Saw Snow White and the Huntsman at the weekend.  Not my sort of film but I found it enjoyable enough. Visually it's stunning to look at.

Saw The Amazing Spiderman tonight. Good wee film, much better than the previous trilogy. The casting was top notch, Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker/Spiderman was much better than Toby Maguire.

TDKR - 9/10.

Great ending to the trilogy. Better than TDK in my opinion because I thought the ending of it wasn't great with the boat dilemma etc. The last 30 mins or so of TDKR blew me away. I love Nolan's films anyway but this was great.

Hathaway and JGL were brilliant.

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.

You mean you don't you. You cried.

Would have been a waste of tears

The Dark Knight Rises - disappointing IMO.

Tied up the ends well in fairness to Nolan as well as a 3rd of a triology could but not a patch on The Dark Knight. Ledger was sorely missed.

Obviously not going to into it because a lot wouldn't have seen it. Joseph Gordon-Levitt who plays Blake got the same amount of screen time as Bale nearly! Some ridiculously cheesy lines in it too.

 The Dark Knight Rises - awful, awful disappointing show.

Broken story arch, incredibly cheesy dialogue and situations. Without giving much away the situation with the boy's shelter is one example. Gordon-Levitt is shite, gets as much time Bale and he's no screen hero with some of the most cheesy lines.

Anyone who can understand Bales every word is a liar, not a huge disadvantage as you can fill it in but at the same time you haven't a clue what he just muttered.

Anyway it is too long, cheesy as parmesan and don't get me started on the plot-holes, the siege at the end? WTF the jail as well?

Very poor IMO given how good Nolan is. I'd go as far to say this is the first bad film he has made. All his previous shows are better than this, including BB.

I agree with the last two posts, the Dark Knight Rises was disappointing, slow moving film poorly acted and the plot holes were everywhere & looking back Ledger performance made the last film better than it was.

Haven't seen the last one yet but I think batman begins trumped the dark knight

Watched the first 2 lat week again and it reinforced how shit Batman Begins was. Saw the new one yesterday and was disappointed too. Could barely understand Bane, and expected more from him. The ending was pretty predictable too.

You'll love this one then, very like the first.

Wasn't dying about The Dark Knight Rises, but I didn't think it was as bad as some of the previous post suggest.

Don't get the criticism of the cheese and plot holes. Despite Nolan's edgier sheen on the whole thing, it's still comic book fantasy so cheese and plot holes and over the top theatrics really just come with the territory.

Would agree that it's a bit too long and drags in the middle. Also wasn't fussed on Gordon-Levitt, and, other than being a ride, Hathaway didn't contribute much.

I know what you mean about it coming with the territory but the Dark Knight was brilliant in the way it could transform comic book fantasy into gritty realism. The joker and his gang were deranged terrorists threatening a city by attacking its figureheads, Dent was a DA intent on change and his transformation into two face only bordered on the fantasy.

This one is just a full-blown return to fantasy and lacks that gritty realism that TDK had on it's side.

Levitt takes away from the piece and Hathaway adds nothing.

The timing of the film is also completely misjudged. Months/weeks go by with seamless joints in the narrative.

Watched a film based on a true story again there at the weekend: Sunshine and Oranges

About the organized deportation of 130,000 children from the UK to Australia from 1900 - 1972 sanctioned by both the UK and Australian Governments.
Well worth a watch!!!

Just watched it tonight - terrible stuff altogether - poor kids.

The governments and the christian brothers didnt come out of that film to well - slave labour pretty much, and the sexual assault stories as well

Had the misfortune of having to watch the old Flashdance last weekend. Pure drivel, chickflick crap.

Anyway, if I fancied a girl who smashed the headlights of her ex-boyfriends car out f badness, then I'd think twice and three times about dating her. She is an ugly one anyway.
