I actually liked this more than I expected to. I would have given it a good 7.
Watchmen and X-Men have almost nothing in common. An 8+ at least.
Star Trek XI - 7
Terminator Salvation - 4
Angels & Demons - 7
Transformers 2 - 6
World Trade Centre - 7
Haunting in Conneticut - 6
Iron Man - 7 (I like it)
Going to watch District 9 tomorrow. I'm pretty sure I'll like it.

jennifer anniston has made a good film, it was called derailment. About 5 years old, has Clive Owen in it and was excellent.
50 dead men walking, based on a true story during IRA times. 7.5/10
Angels and demons was rubbish. Guessed the twist in the first 15 minutes and the ending was just plain stupid.
The International is good 7.5/10
I quite enjoyed Cass, but that might just be because I love films about UK soccer hooligans!

the funniest film i have seen in ages has got to be the hangover, seriously jaw-achingly funny. also imo the best action film i have seen this last 12 months is Taken, Liam Neeson plays a well connected CIA type dad, and when his daughter gets taken he tracks them down and goes all PROPER badass on them. in fact i think i will dig it out and watch it again this afternoon, cheers for the reminder.

Taken is a great film, loved that!
I rated the new terminator and transformers 2 higher than above, 7 for terminator and 8 for transformers.... but thats just me
What did you think of district 9? the main character got right on my ****, it could of been such a better film if you ask me!!

Me and Nat watched Angels & Demons last night and thought it was brilliant. A few twists and the ending was very well thought out.
Would recommend but the DaVinci code was a little better.

The new Harry Potter movie is the only decent film i've seen in months, I really enjoyed it although felt slightly let down by the ending.
Transformers2 -1
Terminator Salvation -6
Star Trek -3 Dawesons Creek meets StarTrek didn't work for me at all.
DaVinci Code was an epically **** movie made from an overrated book so although I haven't seen Angels and Demons, I'm near enough certain it'll be **** too even though the book was better than the acclaimed DaVinci Code.

Best thing i've seen in ages although not a movie but i'd recommend anyone to watch it is Battlestar Galactica, fantastic start to finish and ended on a high too!

When did Tom Hanks lose his mojo? he used to be such a good actor with brilliant parts. The last good movie he was in that i can think of was Saving Private Ryan.

Man On Fire...I liked it so much, I bought the watch...Beep.beep,beep,bebebebeep...BOOM.
I too enjoyed The Hangover, Ive got a mate like the dozy one.
Watched Hancock over the weekend, it was on sky, I laughed at that too, but I was on my 5th Peroni Nastro Azzurro at the time.

No mention of Gran Torino yet?
Surely the grand daddy of 'what a great Clint Eastwood film'..?
District 9 has to take second place so far though...
