Of course the one from 1981. I dispise that they did a remake and of all people bitchdick Russell Brand got the leading role.

They showed the movie that they were making and it came together pretty well. Also at the end up of that short film of theirs you finally find out what Super 8 means.

I'll catch it when comes out on blu ray, though I really want to go to a drive in and see the movie again.

Pretty cool documentary (available on Netflix Instant). It's good, but not great. Some interesting stories, but mostly it drags a little bit, and is less about the actual music than I would have liked.

I saw Thor a little while back and would give it a damn solid 8/10.

Would you guys recommend the new Xmen movie if I thoroughly enjoyed Origins?

I wouldn't recommended it, because Wolverine was the one of the worst superhero movies ever. Xmen 1st Class was pretty good.

Not necessarily being a fan of the movies I went to see this with a few friends the other day. All I could say is the last 5 minutes of the film are epic "I CAN'T FEEL MY LEGZ!"

I saw it the other day as well. It was better than I thought it would be.

Not the best adaptation I've seen, but it's certainly not as bad as some people make it out to be. Hollywood needs to stop making movies with 3D though, it's annoying.

After a third viewing it still holds up extremely well as an intelligent action movie that could almost be feasible. Christian Bales Batman 'growl' is awful though.

Second viewing for this one. Some of the tech used stretches the credibility of the film a lot more than the first movie but this is still first class entertainment with a cerebral pulse.

Despite the obvious dating of the movie (it is 40 years old after all) it is still a damn good film and brutal considering it's age although I have found after watching Clint deliver his 6 shots or only 5 speech so many times and caricatured so often it is almost impossible to take seriously through his clenched teeth. Shame. Otherwise there are some superb set pieces and Robinson (Scorpio) is one of cinema's most iconic killers.

It needs another viewing as I found it very conflicting in what sort of film it wanted to be. A character study or all out actioner. It sort of failed on both as if it is was butchered in the editing suite to be neither one or the other. The action was a lot more intense than the average blockbuster although it has a nihilistic quality and the character building was never fully fleshed out but nicely underplayed and intriguing.

I would like to see a directors cut of this to see which way the film was meant to seen.
