Not as good as people are making out
2 June 2023
The narrator is bloody annoying with the daft stupid silly comments and the games not as good as people are making out on the Xbox reviews etc etc. The controls aren't the best especially the run feature when fighting swarms as you tend to always get trapped when trying to get more ammunition. Hate the fact you have to stand there and hold X when you want to pick ammunition or a new gum or life potion up especially if you're in a boss level which there is nowhere really to run too. The game could be so much more fun and enjoyable but at the end of the day it's laziness and a rip-off from games like Tomb Raider but with stupid British pompous snobby narrator's in the background.

RoboCop (1987)
2/10
Terrible effects
6 October 2022
In a violent, near-apocalyptic Detroit, evil corporation Omni Consumer Products wins a contract from the city government to privatize the police force. To test their crime-eradicating cyborgs, the company leads street cop Alex Murphy into an armed confrontation with crime lord Boddicker so they can use his body to support their untested RoboCop prototype. But when RoboCop learns of the company's nefarious plans, he turns on his masters.

For 1987 it is not a bad movie though robots screaming like dinosaurs etc etc was pretty stupid in some scenes. The effects were terrible considering the likes of Predator, Running Man etc etc were released the same year.

Steptoe and Son (1962–1974)
10/10
Greatest British Comedy Ever.
30 September 2022
This is the greatest British comedy ever written by two geniuses in Ray Galton and Alan Simpson, It's that great John Sullivan decided to copy every episode even using all the names for Only Fools and Horses. Only Fools and Horses is a complete rip-off from Steptoe and Son. I have watched Steptoe and Son over a hundred times each episode and the name Albert - Alby, Rodney, Del-Boy etc etc are mentioned in Steptoe and Son. Just look at Franky Barrow and his French phrases and then Del Boy from Only Fools and Horses. The shape of the horse and cart and a Robin Reliant. Mandela House mentioned in Steptoe and Son and Only Fools and Horses. If you sit and watch every episode of this classic masterpiece in Steptoe and Son then go and watch Only Fools and Horses you will see the plots, characters story lines are all copied. Even Man about the House and George and Mildred have episodes copied from Steptoe and Son.

This is truely the greatest comedy ever as it has inspired frauds/writers to copy it in every way.

A Masterpiece
26 September 2022
Guy Pearce is one of my very very favourite actors going back to the 80's when he was in the Australian soap Neighbours. Since then he has flourished in a hell of a lot of movies and rightly so. He is on par with some of the great actors around and in the past.

The movie is a Masterpiece, a well thought out Thriller from start to finish. I can see why people have down voted this movie because this is a thinker, a worker out movie to the highest level and most - especially the yanks want something easy to follow along with some blood, gore and action. This movie doesn't deserve it's low rating and i will definitely watch this Masterpiece again in the future.

Awful
22 September 2022
This is awful and cheesy. From the off where they show the mission straight away it felt like someone had taken the 1977 Star Wars mission and made it with fighter jets. As the movie progressed it became even more like the original Star Wars movie but with lots of Cheese between Tommy Cruiser and Jenny Connolly. It got boring and i switched the movie off after about an hour or so.

Where did all these high ratings come from and i can't believe people writing if you liked the original then you'll love this one. Sorry but this was utter garbage. Should have left Top Gun where it was, back in 1986.

Gross
23 August 2022
This movie was just gross and an awful watch from start to finish. Can't believe Mark Strong agreed to do this tripe unless he really badly needed the money. Awful, bloody awful movie.

What a load of crap
23 August 2022
What a load of crap from start to finish. The only idiots that would think this is a great movie are yanks. Everything about this movie from the acting, plot, make-up and costumes was crap. Don't waste your time.

Pfftttt
12 August 2022
Remember watching this back in the day and thinking not a bad movie so thought after all these years i'd watch again but don't remember it being nearly 4hrs long and a horrible rape scene in the original watch. Didn't like that rape scene one bit or the near on 4hrs. Wished i'd remembered it from years ago which must have been the cinema cut i saw.

Prey (I) (2022)

Great movie
8 August 2022
If you like all the old Predator movies then like me you should find this one very enjoyable, i did. Had a kind of the original feel of Arnold's parts from the movie diced in with a feel of De Caprio's Revenant.

Just ok
7 August 2022
The movie was ticking along quite well than it just went all stupid in the last 10-20mins. Was going to give it a much higher score but the last 10mins were just silly and i mean silly especially from the police side of things. You'll see what i mean when you watch it without giving it away.

Not for me.......
6 August 2022
Not for me this movie though i'm a huge huge fan for 20yrs now of South Korean movie but i don't do stupid camcorder movies or first person video game style movies and this is one of them. I watched around 15mins and that was enough and came here and now realise why the rating is so low and it deserves to be.

Even worse second time around.
31 July 2022
Watched it for a second time 6yrs after i saw it and had forgotten how annoying the bad guy in the movie was and how he managed to survive so long which is why i hated the movie in the first place. Love SK movies but this one was frustrating and the ending sucked so bad. It was like the director loved all the good characters throughout the movie then woke up on the wrong side of the bed one morning and decided he hated them and killed them all off. Wanted to like it but for that reason ended up hating it and the second one was even worse of a watch.

The Roundup (2022)

Great 2nd Part
30 July 2022
Great follow on to the first movie with superb action, crime and the usual laugh along the way. Ma Dong-Seok never fails to deliver along with the rest of the great cast. I suggest watch the first one and then this for a great evenings entertainment as you won't be disappointed if like me you're a huge South Korean cinema watcher. I hear Ma Dong is starring in a remake of The Gangster. The Cop & The Devil remake. Can't wait.

Great movie
23 July 2022
This is a great movie, great cast and acting. If you were around in the 60's 70's this was exactly what young lads got up to with girls and had all those feelings, dreams and wants like young Jamie in the movie. An excellent coming of age movie and every 5yrs or so i rewatch this gem.

It was ok
22 July 2022
It was ok, not bad but not great either. The acting from the kids was really good but the movie itself just lacked something. Ok if you're really bored, had a couple of jump scares but wouldn't class this as a horror at all.

Not good
13 July 2022
You can see from this movie where they improved things when they made The Prodigal Son 2yrs later. This wasn't good at all from the plot to what exactly was going on.

Boring
7 July 2022
The first hour was boring and then comes along Geoff Goldblum who takes the movie to another level of boredom before it turns into watching the original movie again. Really didn't bother to make something different here but just use the same actors and plots. Laura Dern was so over acting too it was yucky to watch.

Not Too Shabby
24 June 2022
Not too shabby at all. Not a fan of TV movies but this was actually quite good and worth a watch and maybe another watch in 5-10yrs time. Good cast here and the acting was on par too. If you like a who done it kinda movie mixed with a western then you'll probably enjoy this one.

So dull and boring
14 June 2022
Watched the first two episodes of this show and it reminded me of that other boring show Lost where you just know it's written in a way to just drag and drag and drag on with little happening. So i came to the reviews and most of the reviews said season 3 is terrible so i will stop after just two episodes. Quite a few Yank shows similar right now like The Boys, that started off ok and gets boring as it goes along.

The Boys: Nothing Like It in the World (2020)
Season 2, Episode 4
1/10
Just awful
12 June 2022
Just awful episode and the end of series one into season two just gets worse. What started as an enjoyable exciting new show has turned into the most boring depressing thing i have watched in a long time where now when you think there's some happiness the show ends where you feel you need to take anti-depressants. Really bad and getting worse.

The Boys (2019– )

Hmmm
11 June 2022
Only just started watching the show and the first few episodes were great then it started to die down a lot and get too political, slow and boring. There was a couple of laughs but I would hardly put it in the comedy genre but that's probably me being British as the yanks comedy is rather dull, slow and hardly amusing but this has always been the case. I'll try getting into season two but as others here have said the show gets worse. Oh dear.

Superb movie
4 June 2022
Superb movie from Ireland and the acting from all was top notch especially the lead guy. The movie flies by quite quickly and doesn't disappoint from start to finish. I would definitely watch this again in a few years time.

A fantastic movie
3 June 2022
A fantastic movie and a real hidden gem which i'm so grateful to have stumbled across. A great cast. Great story and a great road movie. My favourite movies tend to come out of South Korea and Australia and this didn't disappoint one bit. Thanks.

Half was enough of this CRAP.
25 May 2022
Can't remember a more boring unfunny piece of f-upped crap i've ever seen. This is utter s**t. Whoever wrote this needs to get their head tested because they're seriously not all there in the head. No wonder Yankland has so much messed up crime with kids going on mass school shootings when this is the sort of messed up crap they're producing.

Amazing
16 May 2022
Amazing movie if you can't sleep and you need something to knock you out. There is nothing great about this movie, the sex scenes are woeful, acting is dire and the whole movie pointless about some old dog who neglects her daughter and runs a high end prostitution racket amongst politicians and police. Similar case and movie about some old hag in a high end london brothel etc.
