Gandalf vs The Balrog (4 more)
Huge battle scenes at Helm's Deep
Great action scenes
Epic story
Brilliant Sfx
Cinema at its best
My favourite of the Lord of the Rings films. I prefer the battle scenes in this one. The Gandalf vs the Balrog is a scene you won't forget. Everything about the film is top quality, production, sets, costumes, Sfx, the score. Combine that with a great all star cast and an epic story make this an amazing film.

The end of an epic saga
I don't think this was the best Lord of the Rings by far. It became completely anti-climactic after dragging on for four hours (extended version). The slow motion ending became frustrating and many people got up and left from the cinema thinking it has finished. That rant being said, the final war scenes were brilliantly shot, it truly is on an epic scale of filming.

Very predictable twist and ending (2 more)
Not a great deal of Shark scenes
Noticeable poor script
Lacking bite
I thought I'd give this a go as I quite like Shark films. This was a disappointment, every jump scene you can see coming a mile away. The apparent twist is sign posted early on. One that will mainly annoy the majority I think given the reaction in the cinema. @The Shallows (2016) was a much better Shark thriller.

Great cast (2 more)
Great actors
One of the best twists ever!
Simply brilliant
Amazing film on quite a low budget but with some brilliant scenes. The acting is top notch which helps make the film so simple yet effective. Told in retrospect as a survivor tells the story that led to a big shoot out. This film has one of the most famous twists in cinema. If you have missed it put it to the top of your list!

Great car chases (1 more)
Great soundtrack
Oozing coolness
A very good film with several long car chase scenes. The editing is great, to combine the soundtrack with action on screen at the same time in sync. The tunes are good and the film has a cool vibe to it. Along with good talented cast this couldn't go wrong. It starts lighthearted but does get a bit violent towards the end. Race down to the cinema to catch it.

Excellent all round
I wasn’t sure what to expect after reading reports that over 100 people walked out of the cinema at the movie’s premiere screening... The film is not for the squeamish but I felt the gruesome nature of the film was perfectly balanced by a gripping storyline, and excellent performances, especially from Matt Dillon. I was totally engaged all through the movie, and felt it was a perfect example of how a movie should be made.

Excellent Disney family fun
For anyone expecting a reason for this film, there isn't one other than the essence of cinema itself. Entertainment.
Went with my 2 boys 9,11 and came out with happy faces. Having watched the original I can understand the negativity this movie may receive but for kids watching this the first time it's pure Disney magic.
Ticked all the right boxes and frankly couldn't ask for more from a movie.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010) in Movies
Feb 19, 2018
A decent entertaining action film based on the 2nd Prince of Persia video game. Not played the game but it seems the main elements and plot to the game made it into the film alright. This has a good cast, pretty good CGI and produced by Walt Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer! So not too bad, pity didn't get a cinema release. If you liked films along the lines of The Mummy, Scorpion King you will enjoy this.
Victoria Pierco (2 KP) rated Kermode and Mayo's Film Review in Podcasts
Jun 30, 2018
The fact that Kermode and Mayo have been working together for years clearly shows, and the chemistry between them produces some natural-feeling, funny banter and plenty of in-jokes.
Kermode gives fair reviews, not being patronising about children's films and admitting when he has wrongly assumed a film will be bad.
Due to circumstances I am not a regular cinema-goer, but I listen regularly to the Wittertainment podcast just for the chuckles it gives.
