"The darkest, most disturbing book that enthralled me as a teenager. Dostoyevsky brings the reader inside the mind of a seemly normal person who becomes tortured and ultimately ruined by a single act. Also, I was in love with the poor, tragic Raskolikov, and I think I still am."

I feel like my rating on this is skewed. I played with a very "rules heavy" friend and it ruined the experience for me. I would like to give this game another chance because I think I could like it if I was playing with a different group of people.

Indigo is better than Tsuro. I like that one too.

I'll add those to my list for sure! We have a game store that has a wall of games you can try out and I'm sure they have at least one of those to play!

Only saw it in 2D. What a shame and a waste a film like this should never be PG-13/15?! Ruined it for the target audience. The cgi was ok but the story, gore and pretty much everything else was lame! The run time was only 77mins as well!

"Really interesting. Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the best actors in film today. I hadn’t heard about the twist at the end, so it hadn’t been ruined for me. It caught me completely off guard. I think the movie was so well shot, and with DiCaprio’s performance, it was unbelievable."

All in all, I thought it was an amazing novel that was, of course, ruined by it being translated, horribly at that, into a movie. I thought that the characters and the situation they were in was not only possible but highly believably for their werewolf world. I literally could not put the book down.

"And speaking of which… (Jeffrey Eugenides nearly ruined him for me - cf. The Marriage Plot - but I’ll get over it.) What has become some sort of bullshit semiotic touchstone for asshole academics is in fact terrifying, pathetically human: he’s like a tender mathematician — perhaps more like Primo Levi — dissecting the holocaust that is Love."

Couldn't get over continuity errors
Honestly I couldn't get over how bad the car chase was at the beginning not only did it drag on for ages but the fact they car kept randomly changing back and forth how damaged it was ruined for me and I couldn't get in to the movie after that.

The way they bought the original in through music memories. In general the acting was good. Some wonderful cinematography too. (0 more)
Mr lamplighter (sorry don't know his name) ruined the whole film for me. Found him annoying and unbelievable from the start. Also have issues with Mary Poppins doing a raunchy number - just not right. (0 more)
A little disappointed.
  
Don't expect to recognise a lot of the songs, yes they are all by Abba but some of them are relatively unknown ones, I suppose they used the majority of popular ones in the first film. Some of the ones I didn't know were quite good though although personally they have been slightly ruined by being rewritten musically.
