The most intense TV episode ever

The most stressful and intense episode of TV I have ever watched. Amazing cinematography, brilliant score and a battle that rivals Helms Deep! Where can they go from here?!

Incredible Finale to an Incredible Franchise
25 April 2019
No spoilers here, although I would struggle to drop a spoiler as this film is surprisingly complex for a super hero film. But then Marvel / Disney have redefined cinema as we know it with these 22 films and this film caps off all of it in spectacular fashion. Expect to laugh hard and maybe even cry. One amazing, epic end.

They don't get much more explosive than this!
4 August 2010
The expectation for this film is obviously very high with one of the best action hero line ups (if not the best) in cinematic history. So I went into this film with a little trepidation and a lot of anticipation. I can honestly say that I was not disappointed. This was a high octane, unbelievably explosive, funny, blood thirsty, proper action movie! This film would not have been out of place in the 80s, but manages to fit into the market of today's cinematic action experience. It is easily much more graphic and gory than most modern day action films, but this adds to the film and creates a degree of realism. Let's face it; if you go around killing people it isn't going to be pretty! This film did what it needed to do, it wasn't afraid to contain blood, guts and violence for the sake of an age restriction but also wasn't overly ridiculous. After all most of the people who will watch this film grew up watching the classic action films of the 80s and 90s and are old enough for a bit of gore.

The plot is not that original, but it doesn't need to be, nor was it expected to be. The cast, goes without saying, was fantastic. What could have been a disaster of conflicting egos ended up being a believable team of mercenaries where banter is rife and keeping each other alive is their number one priority. Stallone can give himself a big pat on the back for getting so many iconic actors onto the screen together and actually making it work. Though the much hyped cameo of two particular people was short lived, it was hilarious and I think a great moment in cinema.

This was a great film that keeps you glued to your seat, constantly makes you gasp and laugh out loud and leaves you pumping with adrenaline. It was ridiculous and wonderful all at the same time, with more bullets and bombs than Rambo and more fighting than Rocky. This is a must see film for any movie buff or action hero wannabe. It is certainly not for the faint hearted, or for kids, but for any true action movie lover this is the ultimate manly film.

Sylvester Stallone, NICE JOB!

Avatar (2009)

Truly Outstanding
24 January 2010
Many people have criticised this film for not being original, after seeing it I would be inclined to agree, but would not hold it against such a breathtakingly brilliant film. Though in many ways you could compare this to Dances With Wolves, they are comparable in plot alone and it certainly does not detract from what, in my opinion, is a masterpiece of modern cinema. Cameron has truly outdone himself with this one, not just because of the phenomenal box office success but because he waited, patiently for the technology to catch up with his idea.

Avatar truly encapsulates Pandora and draws you in hook line and sinker; it makes the world utterly believable and draws parallels to the destruction of our own world.

A true work of genius and completely deserving of 10 stars
