    Looper is a good movie with a great concept , the last half hour in the "corn fields" is forgetable , and predictable and boring and has been done before. A very over rated movie

    Prometheus - An insultingly bad film, that seems to think that making every character action a mystery is the same thing as having deep characters and an intelligent story.

    Ted - It was meh but talk about over rated.


  • Posts: 15,814 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    The Avengers - It was enjoyable in a trashy turn off your brain manner but nowhere near as good as most made it out to be.

    Martha Marcy May Marlene cannot believe the positive reviews this movie got.
    The Dark Knight Rises. I liked this movie alot but it and the other two movies from the series which I also liked are totally over rated.

    Anna Karenina

    One of those movies where people think they must say it's great, purely because it's 'arty'.

    It's one of the worst movies I ever spent money on going to see. Two hours of my life I'll never get back..

    The Hunger Games

    I absolutely loved the book, but all of the tension that should exist in the movie completely evaporated. You never feel like Katniss is safe during the actual game in the book, yet in the movie, this element of danger is not there at all, it's like she's just wandering around having a laugh, so everything that is cool about it is gone.

    The Amazing Spiderman - This was marketed as a darker reboot but ended up being a cop out just so Marvel couldn't get the rights to Spider Man back.

    The Master - Much like Stewart Lee, people will say I just "don't get it" when it's actually not entertaining in any way.

    Prometheus - Talk about so much build up with so little result.

    Skyfall - Terrible last 30 minutes. Meh everything before that. 'Lets kill off characters without caring too much why or how'.


  • Registered Users Posts: 408 ✭✭questioner


    Prometheus.

    More Avatar than Alien, this had none of the vision, intensity or claustrophobia of the previous installments. Biggest disappointment of the year.

    The Dark Knight.

    Vacuous nonsense. Where did the Christopher Nolan of Following and Memento go?
