I really don't think this film deserves the poor reviews it has received! I have never seen the original so am not comparing this, simply judging it as a film in its own right. The cast is brilliant, I love Diaz, Firth, Rickman and Tucci so was never going to be disappointed! Yes it's a ridiculous caper movie, it's not meant to be taken seriously on any level! It's great fun, I was weeping with laughter at some of the hotel scenes, and that doesn't happen often in a movie! I'm not quite sure what some of the reviewers on this site were expecting, but I was thoroughly entertained! I came out with a smile on my face so in my books that's just fine!

I saw the first Silent Hill film never having seen/played the game and really enjoyed it as a stand alone horror film. I found it creepy, sinister and atmospheric with decent acting, pretty much all I ask from a horror film.

I saw Silent Hill Revelation, again after not being a fan of the computer game, and was very disappointed. The acting was really quite awful! It reminded me of some amateur dramatic stage productions I've seen, painful! On top of this the script was terrible, trite and unnatural, and delivered so badly! Sean Bean was the only decent one and even he wasn't great! The plot was pathetic, there was a final 'showdown' where as far as I could tell nothing much happened apart from a bit of sword swinging! I wasn't scared or creeped out once and I'm quite easy to scare! I wish I'd seen paranormal activity 4 instead!

Having read the 2 reviews on here and seen some of the critics reviews I wasn't expecting a lot from this film. I'm a fan of peep show and Robert Mitchell in general so thought I'd give it a go and was pleasantly surprised! If you take this film for what it is, a light hearted comedy romp, it's actually quite enjoyable. Rufus Hound, who I have never heard of or seen before, was rather irritating to begin with in a Ricky gervais kind of way and I was worried this would ruin the film, but his character really grew on me and I think I was a bit in love with him by the end! The characters are all likable and amusing in their own ways and I'm sure some of them are fairly true to life, particularly the rich society women who are the "friends" of the mother of the bride! I found myself chuckling through a lot of the film and laughed out loud several times and left the cinema with a nice warm glow! It may not be a lasting classic but it's a fun, sweet and enjoyable film and I would give it 7/10
