I went to the cinema 2 days ago with my brother, my dad, my cousin and two other guys. The guys wanted to watch Saw 4 there, and asked us to watch it together. When we where buying tickets, they said "ehm, that little guy is too small for this movie". I was like "!@#$ you". And of course, my cousin (16 years old) is scared for the movie. And my dad thinks that the movie is too sadistic, so we went to the Golden Compass.

I thought the movie was boring because of the name, but it was pretty cool. It looks very much like Harry Potter together with Narnia. But I like this story more. The special effects and overworld graphics where incredible. And the Daemons are cute

Watch it if:
- You like cute animals
- You like historical fantasy
- You like the book
- You may not watch Saw 4 yet

I choose you, Zorua! Reputation: +1/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 1945	I saw it with my girlfriend a couple of days ago. It's alright, but for a film of the length it has it introduces too many characters and stuff happening. This leads to all of the characters showing little depth and too many events crammed into one film. It still looked amazing though, and it still had a nice way of going about it.. so I'm giving this the benefit of the doubt I'll probably go and see the sequel as well when it hits the cinema. Logged

Some of the dialog in that film was just so cheesie it actually made me wince a few times. Don't get me wrong, I love the books (there actually some of my favorite books), but that movie is just terrible. Logged

Acting was iffy in spots, plot pacing was good but feathered a bit towards the end, and the special effects were absolutely incredible. Also, the bear fight! !@#$% YEAH! Overall, it's nothing amazing, but the religious undertones (which are present in the film, no matter what anyone tells you) make it interesting. I kind of wished I'd waited until it cost $2 to see.

Who's your favorite possum? Reputation: +0/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 1378	Yeah... I wasn't the biggest fan of this flick. I was rather dissapointed. First Eragon, now this... Beowulf was pretty cool, but a bit... content-heavy and just a nerd show. I need my fantasy movies back. ;-; Logged
