Cleanskin (2012)
Boring mishmash
This movie is a bizare mishmash of themes. It was marketed as some sort of sean bean action movie turns into a love the terrorist drama then a conspiracy theory anti government thing. Oh and has ultra violence to boot. What idiot though anyone who liked one of these things would like the whole??? And so it starts as a gritty British action movie. Okay cool if a bit slow for that type of movie, about 20 mins in and me and my mates are like "what the . . . " did we change channels, weren't we watching a sean bean film, who is this guy and why did the movie just end.
Seriously, they just stop following the action story and start on a new tact for like 30 minutes of explaining away terrorism drama, then go back to the action movie bit and then go government crazy.
I seriously don't get who wants to watch an ultra violent action movie and an terrorist apoligist drama at the same time.
Must be an audience of like 5 people in all of the UK.
Truly bizarre concept, and the marketing was horrible, tell me its an action movie and thats what I expect.
Super 8 (2011)
Supremely disappointing
This was one of the most boring movies I have seen this year. I feel really deceived by the trailers. NOTHING happens till the train crash and the train crash doesn't happen till half way through.
I got the distinct impression from the trailers that the crash WAS the start of the movie, and would that it were so because then it may have been tolerable.
An hour of a few kids mucking around and making a movie, been done way better and if i wanted that I would have gone to watch that, only then I would have been disappointed with the abrupt appearance of a monster half way through my kids making a movie movie.
The story is from then on riddled with things that don't make sense, are incredibly stupid, cliché ("i'm a bad army man rrrrrrrrr, i do bad things for no reason to show i'm bad") or just don't work (I'm supposed to care for a rampaging menace????).
Avoid.
