This was such an interesting concept, but it failed a bit. Matt Damon's accent was weird and not good at all. The Chinese actors were all amazing. While the visuals were stunning, and vivid, the CGI looked really fake, to the point where it was distracting. I really wanted to like this film, but it could have been so much better.

A pleasant surprise
Comic book heroes are far from being my thing but I found this film very entertaining. I liked it when Thor landed on the earth and the comedy that came with this, smashing the coffee cup on the floor and the language he uses. To me it stuck the right balance of comedy, romance, cgi and drama.

Too many songs (1 more)
Some cgi is a bit poor
More beast than beauty
I'm not a fan of musicals and this had far too many songs for me. I can't remember the original animation that well, but this seemed to be a true reflection of it. Great cast though and amazing sets, maybe one for the kids.

I am a very picky person so naturally I was laser focused on everything and the only negative thing I could find was that there were a couple of moments where the CGI looked very clearly like it was done on computer.

I'm not a huge gamer but know enough to have been able to follow this. I went in really not knowing what to expect and was pleasantly surprised! This was an intense movie with a lot of 80s and (obviously) video game references, likable characters, and a nice blend of animation/CGI and real life. Now I've got to get the book!

I personally loved this movie. For me it had the perfect balance of magic, fun and danger as well as magical beasts. Whilst it doesn't strictly fit with the HP movies and books, it was a very enjoyable watch with seamless cgi. It also does an admirable job of explaining the complex storyline without giving everything away and leaving several unanswered questions.

Simple but effective
A visually impressive film about a tale of survival. Although a bit too much cgi. The problem is for the majority of the film it's about a boy and a wolf trying to survive and get back to his Tribe. There is very little dialogue and not much depth to the story.

Not bad remake of "The Last man on Earth" which has elements of Charlton Heston's "Omega Man"
Smith is convincing as he wanders around a deserted New York and conveys loneliness very well, the CGI on the whole is good and the empty streets haunting however the creature design was a let down and not convincing enough, good but not great Sci-fi!

An average sequel at best, done with a smaller budget by the looks of it. It has quite a good crop of British actors who many will recognise. The action scenes are ok, bike stunts pretty good and the CGI for the bike, flaming skull are decent. It just really falls down on the plot more than anything. Don't expect anything outstanding.

A real missed opportunity, I was hoping for much more after seeing the trailer. The idea is good but the end result is not. It tries too hard to be a mix of the Matrix and Sin city, but the fights look strange and the CGI is over used. Watch it on TV if you have to but don't pay to see this.
