    I've seen neither, but I hear the director's cut is much, much better.

    was the the cinema version, or the directors cut, i tried watchin it when it first came out on dvd, selling points being neeson and gleeson, but half an hour in i turned it off, directors cut it suppose to hold the story together much better,

    Saw Inception tonight, dozed off twice, as did everyone I spoke with afterwards (or at least once in some cases). Very disappointed and the plot was clear from the beginning with too many special effects trying to cover up the holes in the storyline. I've grown to be a Di Caprio fan (though it was only a wobble for The Man in the Iron Mask) and he is maturing, but this was beneath him. Very poor script and far too long, 90minutes would have done it justice. A couple of decent laughs but overall I've yet to meet a single person who though it was above mediocre fare. 2/5.i Maybe I shouldn't have read the feedback on here - damn you all to hell!

    Incidentally, watched Mean Machine (english) and The Longest Yard (Sandler) in the last couple of days, lovely to turn your brain off to.

    Gotta love ROBOCOP, just finished watching it for the first time in years. 10/10

    Use to have the action figure made of steal and the black Ford cop car to go with.

    Because I did my MA on the period in question (Kingdom of Heaven) and the background to it is fascinating, so I kind of enjoyed it a little more than I should have (the whole love link was a joke, the portrayal of Reynald a bit ott and even Saladin was a bit off - especially the bit where he uprights the cross at the end, which would never have happened). The one thing that wasn't played out was the fact that Guy de Lusignan (whose family were favourites and related to the Angevin's) recruited heavily from Ireland and his personal bodyguard consisted of at least 20 Irish hobelari, who strangely remained in Jerusalem when the army was masacred at Hattin.

    The fact you dozed off twice makes me think either A. you didn't get it or B. your 12 years old??

    Fortunately neither, nor reduced to childishness and such comments. As a movie it leaned too heavily on flashy effects and could have been completed in an hour and a half, easily. I love movies and I like most of the actors involved in thi effort, though from my and all but 2 of the people I spoke with since it was mediocre. Again, it's subjective.

    Fair enough...did you not think the effects were needed to convey the dream sequences correctly??
    I thought all the actors gave top notch performances..especially DiCaprio, Gordon Levitt and Tom Hardy(especially Tom Hardy).
    I can't see how you could have done it in 90 mins either... you need time to develop all the characters, and to let people get the ideas that are being conveyed. I think it was the fastest 2 and a half hours I've spent in a cinema in a long time.
    also...what was your understanding of the ending?? Blank it out so you don't spoil it for others.

    Inception - quality. Looking forward to the blu ray version
    The Road - awful. Slow, boring and Omar only gets a 2 minute cameo.

    Saw The A-Team a couple of days ago. Does what it says on the tin, pure entertainment, good special effects, good acting and some very funny moments. Liam Neeson surprised me as I thought it was awful casting, the accent is edgy at times, but he pulled the role off. For anyone who grew up watching the show, wondering how planes, choppers and cars could crash, explode and yet everyone walk away from them, this doesn't disappoint.

    I thought Neeson was decent as Hannibal tbh. I thought your man who done Murdock was excellent, really enjoyable film.

    DON'T READ TIL YOU'VE SEEN IT!!!

    Going by the ending, it's hard to see how di Caprio's character escaped limbo, so my take is that the movie itself is a dream and that his wife never died. Sounds like a bit of a cop-out, but it makes the most sense.

    Watched Brooklyns Finest this evening, had so much more potential with a really good cast but it was pretty flat and boring. Not a crap film by any means but could have been much much better
    Its really not that complicated!!!

    Nice one Juan!

    Toy story was great, laughed and cried during it but wouldn't recommend it for under 5s coz its a wee bit scary in parts and there is eh um moderate violence. Loved it but shouldn't have bothered with 3d as it did little to enhance it.

    My boys, my bro and my sis loved the A-Team too and I got loads of shopping done so a successful day all round.
