Seize Them!

Why?

This would have been a fun film for youg (ish) kids, so why add swearing - there really was no need and it's not the sort of film that would appeal to an older audience - although, because of the swearing, it's rated 15. Having said that I laughed twice.

I can confirm that there was a plot, there was acting and, possibly, some direction. It felt like a prolonged TV sketch - put in the rack and tortured, until it was mistakenly let go.

I am mystified why this was released into cinemas - maybe to test its commercial viability, but as I was the only person in the cinema the answer to that is clear.

I thought it was a very entertaining, cute, rough-around -the edges- crude but witty film.

EXACTLY what I expected, as it was Advertised as such!

I believe those who reviewed went in total ly dark to the type of story this was going to be... as for me, I have been waiting for Seize Them! For over a year! I knew it would be silly and crass and predictable, but I knew full well it would be vague, low budget, satirical and offer just enough laughs and smirks to keep me entertained. It's brilliant cast did exactly as they were expected to withut missing a beat, never straying from the expectation of the characters they were playing.

These low scores are disheartening, as it's clear nobody who watched and commented had ANY idea what type of film this would be. I wished for a Little more creativity myself, I admit, but I really did enjoy it and took it exactly for what it was.

Give it a chance if you need something unrelatable, historically suspicious (and not correct) with a VERY talented cast and laughd along the way (i admit, more chuckles and subtlety in the humour department as it's not laugh out loud jokes)

Good on them for making it.

It took me away, amused, for 90 minutes I don't regret. Watch it when you feel you need some levity as long as blood is not an issue for you (I find calling it GORYa bit extreme tbh) it's a comedy, lie back with your partner, appreciate the swearing (instead of counting how much they swear )and enjoy with lightheartedness the silly story to move you along for 91 minutes taking you away from the gut-wrenching reliaty-based and often depressing movies of our time as we live in a difficult period right now.

Give it a chance. You can always walk away. To me, it was exactly what I knew it would be, so i let myself get caught up and enjoyed it instesd of focus on the shortcomings. We need to laugh these days, and this was a deserving film as absurd and not deep as one might hope that gave me just that.. a break from the news with simplicity and a simple but interesting story.

Though silly, low budget, period Brit-com "Sieze Them" hits nowhere near the Monty Python heights it aspires to, it has its moments and some nice performances. When unpopular Dark Ages queen Aimee Lou Wood (terrific - one to watch) is overthrown by Nicola Coughlan's peasant army, she's saved by servant Lolly Adefope (also good) who with poop-shoveller Nick Frost helps her escape across country (to allies (or are they?) Paul Kaye & John Macmillan). Andy Riley's screenplay is childishly daft (though is def'ly adults only with its language etc) and Curtis Vowell's direction is basic. This one certainly will not appeal to all, but it has its moments.

Putting aside the fact that someone in the decision making process has a foot fetish and a facination with Aimee lou woods dogs.

This movie was what it says on the tin, great cast for a comedy movie, solid acting from supporting cast, special shoutout to Nicola Coughlan, probably the best performance out of the lot, she really had fun with the role. If you're older then 15, the humour will most likely be rather juvinile, but still makes sure you'll chuckle throughout, Its a great option if you're looking for a movie for 11-15 year olds to past the time, or a family movie night option to enjoy.

Most of this cast are people I really like, I didn't mind it being female led as you had 3 genuinely funny women leading the film, so couldn't see this being bad, then the showtimes came out, it was obvious the cinema saw the film as a flop, so went anyway.

Let's start with James Acaster, from a big role in the new Ghostbusters to this? I mean everything here was unprofessional and weak, if it'd have been a free tv movie on Dave you'd maybe like it more but at nearly £20 a ticket this is disgusting, it shouldn't have got to the screens, luckily I pay subscription.

The script wasn't funny, seemed to want to mimic horrible histories and ghosts kinda sense of humour but nothing landed, the acting was just weak but the script didn't help, there was more groans in the screening I was at. A few chuckles but not enough to excuse paying for this garbage.

This cast could've put together a great movie even with this idea, I'm amazed having nick frost in here, that you'd not get his advice or opinion!

The world was ok, costumes were garbage, endless unnecessary swearing, alot of stuff that didn't fit with time line, just a real mess.

Please don't waste your money on this, free stream or tv then fine but honestly you'll regret wasting a penny on this.
