naturaly of course the papers gave it amazing reviews and almost everyone agreed because it was war of the worlds and oh it had tom cruise in it soo it must be good

ive seen bigger wars in my back yard between my tub of salt and the local slugs , never mind the world

oh while ive got my grumpy head on

every single batman film totaly blew chunks apart from the lastest effort batman begins which is how batman should have been filmed from the begining

Totally agree with that Chav, about War Of The Worlds.
I also found Terminal with Tom Hanks a real boring dissapointment. I was so bored i wished i was a kid again with a pea-shooter

Only film I ever walked out of was Fatal Attraction. I had just broken up with someone at the time because he cheated on me so perhaps wasn't the best film to distract me.

Couldn't get into Troy - even Brad Pitt's legs couldn't keep my attention.

Bad-Wolf · 30-11-2005, 12:49

I have to say I was not particularly gripped by Brad's legs either!

Though very probably for different reasons to your good self!

The house on haunted hill, what a load of dribble the film was sealed at asda and it was in a sleeve so we could not read the write up on the film but the front cover looked really good you know all this previously banned and all that so we bought it on a whimm boy did we regret it. The biggest load of rubbish i have ever watched was supposed to be scary cr*p.

me and Anne got this out to rent the other night all i can say is i am glad i did not buy it.
it was very slow the origenal version was much better i was waiting all through the film for some action but was very disapointed totally agree with you chav1 its rubbish

ANNE · 01-12-2005, 00:21

If MUMMIBOO wasnt scared then it must have been rubbish.
She spends half of scarey films behind a cushion.
I have even known her ring me in the middle of a film because she's a scaredie cat.
Spiders now they are scarey.
Mick's right War of the worlds was a let down.

I rather enjoyed War of the Worlds. If you want to really waste your time watch Van Helsing. The remake as opposed to the Peter Cushing!

Awful!

WillowTheWhisp · 01-12-2005, 10:09

War Of The Worlds.

It could have been a great film but it wasn't anywhere near. There were some really basic stupid bits in it that defied logic. Hiding behind a mirror then suddenly being elsewhere in the room without the thing seeing you? Oh yes, very believable. Meeting someone you know in a crowd that size? Tom Cruise knowing how to start a car when a mechanic didn't?

Got to say I enjoyed Van Helsing, got it on dvd.

Bad-Wolf · 01-12-2005, 16:29

Ah well never mind, there is always one!

Swinny1974 · 01-12-2005, 21:40

Me 2 Im affraid I did enjoy Van Helsing apart from the campest Dracula ever I definately think they could have done better there.

Open Water.A true story of 2 people stuck out in the ocean surrounded by sharks but both of them die.Hmmm was ther a fish writing a diary for them?The worst film of all time.

A complete washout that one is.
