So bad it's not even worth watching
I wanted to switch this off after 20 minutes it was that bad. For some bizarre reason, the modern DC films apart from the new Wonder Woman, have been exceptionally awful. From the acting, to the absolutely ridiculous plot, the beginning of the film feels like the middle of the story so it makes no sense whatsoever. The characters are mismatched and the dialogue are all equally terrible. Harley Quinn as per usual is super sexualised for no apparent reason. The only good thing was some of the music. Don't bother to watch it.

This is not the best James Patterson book I've ever read. I figured out the bad guy about halfway through the book and was not surprised. HOWEVER, I enjoyed this book significantly more than many other JP books I've read, because of the characters. I absolutely love Detective Harriet Blue, I think she's amazing and hilarious and a sarcastic ass and I love it. I love the development, the confusion, the raw emotion. I love the game the bad guy is playing the whole way through.

Definitely going to continue with this series, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a kick-ass heroine cop as the protagonist.

Not bad
As far as horror movies go this one was pretty good. A creepy "what if" superhero movie. The acting was ok and the cinematography wasn't too bad. The story was unique so I appreciated that. It unfolded well enough and had a few jump scares but it's the idea they were trying to put in your head. The "what if someone as powerful as superman was evil" really would be a scary thing. The ceo factor read here and it had a couple "gory" scenes so may not be great for kids. Otherwise I'd definitely say this is a good one for movie night. Worth a watch.

I enjoyed this one a lot. I loved seeing what became of netty, baby and wil even though they seem very bitter and angry. They also appear to love the animals more then anything so nothing wrong with that. I enjoyed seeing where everyone is going. I feel bad for that one dude's family...the grandma was just trying to help and get them to be a family again and now they've lost almost everything and can't get past the bad guy. The hive is amazing and i love the elephants. The other characters are adding a lot of new plots and twists. Can't wait to read the next one :)

Not as bad as expected
I was quite surprised that this film wasn't as atrocious as I'd expected. I'd anticipated it to be ridiculously crude with very bad humour (like Sausage Party), but it was actually quite inoffensive. Don't get me wrong, it isn't a particularly good film but neither is it an awful one. The humour is a bit lacking, although it did raise a couple of smiles and it is a bit daft at times. Altogether it's just an inoffensive silly film which is sadly a bit forgettable. The kind of film you'd put on in the background and not pay any attention to.

So bad.... (0 more)
If you saw the 2nd film then you know what to fear in this 3rd installment. As with most direct to DVD low budget horror sequels, expect bad acting, more gore and nudity. This cast line up does have a few familiar faces in it but the acting is pretty hammy.
The cgi effects for the crocs and blood is really poor. Despite all that it probably just about surpasses the 2nd film, at least the story line this time has a bit more action. One for the low budget horror fans to laugh at!

A % of time to an OK App
One of my biggest problems was the ability to make changes to an interact with Pages that I managed - they got that fixed. That was always my biggest problem with the Facebook app.

I really like my ability to stay connected with people in my life using Facebook. The unfortunate thing is that the algorithm that they use to drive what show on your feed not only gives you all the bad, it teaches us to promote the bad and the tragic that we see.

My rule for Facebook: Only the good.

Don't Be Curious!
I was curious to see if it was really that bad. Damn I really need to stop being so curious! While it probably isn't the worst film ever made, it surely is one of the worst zombie ones.

At time it just seems like really bad music video. The flashes of scenes from the video game really don't help. Especially as this is meant to be a prequel of the games?

I gave this a rating of 2/10. The only reason it has a 2 not a 1 is for Jurgen Prochnow. He has some great comedic moments. Well great for this film!

Not having seen the original I wasnt sure what to expect here and only seeing this within the last few weeks has persuaded me to take another look at westerns.
Although a little muddled in places which could be deliberate as the good guy is considered to be bad and the bad guy played by Russel Crowe shows the briefest elements of good considering he kills incriminately at the opening of the movie.
The plot is also quite improbable at times however this is smoothed over by great moments of tension and action.
It's a good movie but not a great one, but entertaining enough for me to revisit the genre.

Not too bad
I remember reading horrible histories when i was in school, i have never watched the tv series though so wasn't sure what to expect. At first i thought it was incredibly cheesy, it was like watching a pantomime. But like being at a pantomime i eventually got into the storyline and found the songs catchy, there was a few famous faces including kim cattrall and warwick davies.
It wasn't too bad a film but i feel it could have been so much better aimed at adults rather than family.
