Fantastic Four - It was ok but suffered again with too much romance and not enough good old super hero action! great effects of course.

The Eric Serra score is superb too.

Uh... are you joking? I have to admit, I never watched it because I heard it was pure excrement. The 2.8 average rating on IMDB.com (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0246894/) supports these claims...

On a positive note, I watched Batman Begins tonight, and thought it was fantastic. Very well done.

No, I was deadly serious about 'Rollerball'.

I saw Fantastic Four this weekend, and thought it was really bad. I think you might enjoy it more if you've never read the comic book and don't know how badly they messed up some of the characters (especially Dr. Doom).

The special effects weren't very good either, far from it. The stretching effect of Reed was particularly bad, the CGI didn't blend with the background at all.

The respective actors nailed the Human Torch and the Thing, but again their characters were let down by the special effects.

Fantastic 4... liked everything but the love slush stuff *pukes* there is just no need for it.

Before that I watched The Descent.. OMFG, an absolutely sh*t ya pants scary movie! Anyone who likes a good scare go and see this film!!

Once Upon A Time In The West. was on telly just now

what an ace film. henry fonda playing the bad guy for once, mutherfuckin' charlie bronson as the mysterious harmonica man, jason robards as the framed up gang leader and the stunningly beautiful claudia cardinale as the widow looking for justice. epic film, epic music, epic acting and an epic story. All to be expected when you have a cast like that and Sergio Leone in the directors chair and Ennio Morricone doing the music.

I should really upgrade my crap VHS copy to the deluxe super dooper double DVD.

fear and loathing in las vegas. was on telly just now

in holland yeah
one of those movies that gets you high by sheer cineographic drug usage.

i can hardly type straight after seeing it

i only watched fear & loathing once, several years ago, shitty downloaded copy on a computer monitor whilst inappropriately sober. seemed quite good but left me feeling like i should watch it again.
the book i was well impressed with, read in one sitting.

yes!

I saw it at glastonbury 1999 on the open air cinema. it was either after the double bill of underworld/orbital or the day after, post-System 7. either way, i was utterly mashed and enjoyed every minute of it.

now there's a film to see over and over again...

...spun me out too much, but the book was good

Napoleon Dynamite -

Now I found it mildly amusing but not as good as I was expecting .. everyone is raving about this cult classic and it just didnt get too me like I think I hoped it would .

that's pretty much how i felt about napoleon dynamite.

I loved Napoleon Dynamite.
I found it one of those films that the more I watched it the more I enjoyed it.
I loved the characters and the dodgy 80's fashion.
Great. Best dance sequence in a film IMO.

Yeah, I was disappointed by Napoleon Dynamite as well.

But the dance bit *was* good
