I couldn't say - never saw it. But let me say just this: IMDB doesn't let you grade something as 0 out of 10.

Woah now...give them a chance. The concept is sound, i have many years of research on this, but I will concede that the film adaptation is......lacklustre. Alright its poo, but i still have to see it as (adopts Ron burgandy voice) part of my life :-]

Wanted

7 out of 10 James McAvoy plays Wesley Gibson a wimpy, low level office worker who hates his soul sapping job (and in particular his overbearing boss), and has a girlfriend who is cheating on him with his best friend. Yes, his life truly sucks the big one. Then he meets the enigmatic Fox, ( Angelina Jolie ) who tells him that the father that had run out on him when he was a baby, was a great assasin and was murdered by a man who is now after Wesley. If you have seen Timur Bekmambetov's earlier efforts particularly Daywatch you will have had a little taste of the visual style of Wanted. It's a fast-paced movie that does not take itself at all seriously. At times it not only stretches the laws of physics but also of credibility. It's perhaps neither as clever or as cool as it thinks it is, but what it is however is great fun. As long as you are prepared to enter the spirit of a film (that was after all based on a graphic novel), then you should enjoy this... just don...

6 out of 10 (revised) A zombie flick with a difference: they’re not dead and they don’t shamble. In fact, they’re bloody quick on their feet and a real terror instead of the comedy threat of your traditional zombies. The story follows one man’s fight for survival from the moment when he wakes up in hospital, unaware he’s alone in the middle of an apocalypse. Along the way, there’s the usual crop of allies and enemies as well as the compulsory love interest, but the film really stands up on two points: The scenes of an abandoned London near the start brilliantly set the scene for the entire film The menacing, rolling crescendoes of the final battle scene’s music, since featured in some car advert* or other Both of these contribute a vast amount towards setting the film’s almost paranoid atmosphere. The ending, sadly, felt a little weak to me, but overall it was a pretty decent horror flick. * Actually, the music was an ad for t...

Cloverfield

9 out of 10 There’s been a lot of hype surrounding this monster-on-the-rampage film, but I’m happy to say it’s actually worth it... mostly. Set in Manhattan, the entire film is presented as a recording of events captured on a local’s video camera. As a result, it’s shaky-cam-tastic for the entire duration, something which was enough to have me feeling nauseous by the time the credits rolled. Don’t let this put you off, however, as: I’m probably just being pathetic The camera-work really helps the believability Speaking of believability, that’s one of the film’s greatest strengths. As my cinema buddy noted on the way out, it was probably the most accurate rendition of panic we’ve ever seen. It’s tense and desperate from the moment the monster makes its presence felt right up to the final seconds of the film. Seriously impressive. It does let itself down on the odd occasion - in terms of people’s abilities ...
