Very poor addition to the Seth Rogan and James Franco cannon.
It's an absolutely ridiculous storyline that can only be for the very youngest viewer as those with a slightly higher IQ will blanch at the attempts made here at humour.
I understand it's an attempt at satire but it backfires badly for this turkey of a film that offended N.Korea and I for one will never be able to recover the lost viewing time.

Good, but boring
Wanted to fall asleep after our characters reached the ship. First two movies were fun, hilarious. This one...i felt that it was forced, like no one wanted to make it, but had to because it would get them money. Story and choices characters made were dull. This movie should be watched only if you want to see your favorite characters again, but don't expect it to entertain you.

A stylish court room thriller, of which there haven't been enough good ones around for a long while. It does feel like a John Grisham adaptation, which is a big compliment. Although with some humour along the way. A good modern feel cast of stars handle it well and there are some nice twists along the way. If you like the more like this films, then snap this up quick!

Surprise Halloween treat
This looked OK from the trailer so gave it a go without expecting much. It was better than expected with a good mix of scares, creepiness and some funny moments. It had a feeling similar to @Final Destination (2000) and @Lights Out (2016) as people using a death predictor app try to cheat their fate. Well worth checking out this Halloween.

Genuinely Bizarre in the Best Way
I came into this movie with no idea what to expect and boy was it an interesting one! The characters, the plot, the special effects...I have never seen such an interesting movie! Seriously! It starts out in the grungy 1800s, and ends up in this fantastical sci-fi fantasy that just took my breath away. I highly recommend to any fantasy or sci-fi lover, an epic film.

One of the weaker Bond films
A very good action film continuing right on from Casino Royale. Plenty of action, chases and explosions. Has a certain Bourne Trilogy feel to a lot of the stunts and fights. The Bond films now are more gritty, raw without the tongue in cheek humour of the past films. One for all out action entertainment but not the best story for a Bond film.
