Well the most annoying thing about this movie is that it is 140 minutes of my life I will never get back! SLow start, then a tanker edging closer to the shore, oh, something not quite right here. OK, the action has begun, wrong, we are back to slow dialogue, music over dialogue (not a good idea), two people turning up on the door step claiming to be the owners of this rental house. Not convinced due to the stroppy attitude of the "daughter", is she really, "dad" can't seem to locate the right key from the many keys he has in order to open the drinks cabinet. Big names do not a great movie make and this is proof of that. The ending is equally stupid as we are led to believe that the youngest child finds the nuclear safety bunker, but she does close the door behind her, no, so she will die too. Absolute tripe!

This is a true disaster movie. All 2 hours and 38 minutes! I really don't think that any of the "stars" are big enough to carry this film, unless its to the trash can. Some of the scenes are totally unbelievable, in fact, most of the scenes depicting falling buildings, roads cracking open, cars avoiding being hit(but only the main character of course) are unbelievable. The ending is even more ridiculous as the "hero" manages to do the impossible and free the cogs and manages to escape being crushed, even though it was supposed to be a one way ticket! Its a total waste of time, watch something else.

For some reason I was putting off starting to watch the new season. I appears I wasnt wrong with my concerns. I really was lost as to who was who, what was what and what on earth was going on. I don't know what I've missed but why has eleven lost her powers? I'm on episode 3 and I'm still bored and mystified.

Far too long and drawn out. The leads have as much charm as a loaf of mouldy bread and no one in their right mind would even remotely think of having an affair with Christopher Eccelston. The story jumps around like a frog trapped in a plastic bag and you cannot connect with any of these disjointed people.

Boring, drawn out, unlikeable characters, bizarre courtroom exchanges, there is nothing positive to say about this waste of time.

Obnoxious alleged murderers, weak personal bodyguard, who is telling the truth? Those in the dock, the police, the families, can you believe anything you are watching? And just because one of the accused was abussed as child this excuses her attitude and therefore nullifies her guilt?

Give it a miss and go and knit a scarf, that will be far more useful.

Only just started the first season but have binge fested and am now half way through season two. To me, it has elements of the Gilmore Girls with a little bit more aggravation, but, there are some characters who you simply want to die! Charmaine is so dense that she cannot see that Jack simply sees her as a friend with benefits, not his girlfriend. To this end she makes it her mission to tell everyone she meets, even though they are not in the least bit interested, that she is Jack's girlfriend. Take a look at his face Charmaine, he ain't interested and he certainly isn't in love with you! Hope is also another stupid character that you want to be kicking up daisy's, boy is she another irritating , nosey, gobby horrible individual. There are many back stories to the characters, perhaps too many at times, but it is somewhat addictive and I shall continue watching, really in the hope that some of the characters stop breathing oxygen!

If you have followed Faith in the previous series, you will be wanting to know where this final one is going. You hope that she will find happiness and everything in the garden will be rosy. Well, you are going to be disappointed.

The first episode makes you wonder what has happened since the last series as this is a very slow burner and extremely frustrating for the viewer. So much so that you almost want to switch off. The case that Faith has taken on, the boy with the brain tumour appears, frankly, a mere excuse of a storyline so that Faith has a reason to go to London. This little excursion simply allows Faith to bring her history into the storyline. This also drops a clanger when her husband questions her business partner about her whereabouts in London and then gives chapter and verse as to where she was and at what times. There is no question as to how Ewan knew this, he had activated the tracking on her phone and knew her every move, so this little annoyance was never discovered.

At last Steve and Faith get together and we are hoping this is going to be Faith's happy ever after. The best thing is that her rotten, stalking scummy little ex gets killed, but by then, the viewer is already believing that Steve is also dead. Sadly for us and Faith, this turns out to be true. No happy ending, Faith leaves but she will always have a piece of Steve as she is pregnant. Great acting by Eve Myles, makes this your better than average drama, certainly the first two series anyway.

It was pretty soon into the first episode that it was obvious that Mr Wilford was not on the train and voice recordings were being manipulated and spliced together to indicate he was actually speaking. There is plenty of gore and violence, but you cannot really engage with the characters or even feel any empathy for them. This train has been traveling around the world for years with various groups sectioned off along the trains great carriage length, smashing through a frozen wasteland. All sense of understanding has to be suspended to believe the tracks are still intact and that supplies are endless. New clothes have appeared by magic, laundering of same suspends all belief, and some of the methods used on the train are plain daft. Understanding some of what is going on proves difficult at times. Try watching it by all means but you may get bored pretty soon and either switch off or do a crossword instead.

Based on a true story but casting, apparently, does not reflect the real people involved well. Poetic licence takes over but this story is overlong, boring and the cast cannot rescue it. What should have been a great watch ended up anything but and by the end I could not care less about the characters, the great find or what happened to the treasure, the land or the people. Recent reports appear to indicate that the characters bear little, if any resemblance to the actual people involved. I cannot see anyone being interested in this as all we seem to see is rain and mud and a bit of treasure and even an inferred gay liaison. This is 2 hours of my life I cannot get back.

Total rubbish, weak character that you have zero interest in and unbelievable situations. Quick synopsis, kid drowns, no body, mother tries to get on with her life. One day she sees a kid who looks like the grown up version of deceased son. Gets a job as a teacher at his school with dodgy false documents, (not to mention just strolling into said school-no way). Manages to convince kid he is hers, gets caught trying to flee the country, in jail, solicitor brother gets her out by getting the lab to fix DNA so she appears to be the real mother whilst his father is now in trouble. She has done a DNA and results come back which prove that she is not the mother. Solicitor brother is now in deep so decides he is going to kill the boy as he knows more about the day than he has let on. In the final 15 minutes we get the convoluted story of what happened that day, totally farcical, but even worse was the fact that he had gone, unseen, into the water to get the drowning boy, pushed the body further out into the water and then returns to the group as though nothing happened. Nobody seemed to notice he was wet through from the waist down at this point. Don't waste 4 hours of your life watching this garbage.
