  • Great film, poor directing.

    Don't blame the actors for the pot holes and under-done execution of the scenes. Much of the acting is awful except for the lead Harris aka miss money penny of James Bond, who shines in this and is absolutely outstanding. The others or at least half of them shouldn't have been cast if they lacked skill or commitment but perhaps that's just poor film making and directing.

    This script was excellent but could have been far better than some of the mess we got in the final third. But the hidden messages, home truths, scenery, messages about our society (lots of them) the ending and the overall thrill and also the amount of emotional energy some actors put into this especially from the lead herself fully deserved a high rating. In fact the film is better than what critics have given.

    The audience focussed too much on pot holes to rate this fairly. When I say pot holes, let's say the fact the less character doesn't radio in when she heard gun shots. Just things like that. Whereas the film critics mostly have said the movie didn't touch enough on societies equality issues etc. What movie were you watching then because it couldn't have been this.

    A brilliant effort from Harris. A lot of work in the scenes to give us a really great movie and I'm really pleased at least one movie is realistic.

    Too much waffling on. All very bla bla bla for ages and rarely anything grips you. Others say this is gripping, that's probably if you know the story and feel for the characters or are somehow thinking this is gripping at all. It's not, not in the way that was meant. The people just talk way too much and we don't see much except a few strangely edited scenes and close ups of their faces. Each of them and not just the evil one, are that annoying that it's hard for most of the audience to feel anything for them until some truths are finally revealed towards the end. Quite dull really. There's a chubby guy who was her son, interviewed and that takes up a lot of screen time and it gets really irritating.

    The biggest ever fan of sky, Jason and the franchise but oh man what a huge let down. Stayed awake until the early hours watching this and bought the DVD, waited for the release rather than paying the price at the cinema and was massively unimpressed.

    I think the issues were primarily the really weak acting and CGI. It resembled more of a computer game in terms of visionary and terrible acting especially from Megan fox and Curtis Jackson, couldn't hear or tell what he was saying and Megan annoyed me. Well they tried to be clever but failed terribly. Not even sly was upto his usual standards. Gone is the muscle, the work ethic and the gripping action fun and its replacement is live feeds with a fat guy, very bad acting, poor dialogue and really lacklustre performances from everyone even Jason, it's like everyone was passed it and taking it easier. Real big mistake.

    I get sly had done tulsa king and wanted to spend time with his spoilt daughters on his reality tv show and therefore didn't put as much effort in; I get Jason is fifty odd and has slowed down amd isn't as up for it, and I also get Megan is pleasing on the eye and hyped up but come on. A really really bad display.

    What didn't make sense was the final third where the men kept coming. Out of no where as well. Then we went from night to light in seconds and despite explosions and all happening on deck yet more men kept coming. And coming and coming. Get it yet? Where were they hiding? Where they spring from?

    It was just a total and utter mess. Then your thinking well it's still the experience right of seeing your favs, but then they mess up on graphics and couldn't make use out of a really bland script.

    All in all the worst movie and if they make a new one they really need to stop trying to fit in with today's confused society and must just stick to old school.

    Shame on all of you really.
