Good grief this is disappointing. I'm not sure what I was expecting? I gave up on John Wick the last time it had a plot, maybe JW2. But I thought this might be good, go back to the beginning, develop characters and a storyline. Instead you get every single filmmaking cliche in the book. Lazy casting and characters. I think it's trying to be humorous but I could be wrong, maybe it's even worse than I thought?

Anyway if your one of the hard of thinking brigade that think Tom and Jerry cartoon choreographed violence is the coolest thing since sliced bread then you'll probably love it. For those with a slightly higher iQ - avoid or be prepared to be bored senseless.

This is just fluffy nonsense. Sometimes fluffy nonsense can be entertaining fun.....this isn't one of those unfortunately . Cliche ridden script (you know the type "let's do this!"). Tries to pretend it's clever by flitting about the timeline to fill in plot holes, but it just ends up annoying.

No chemistry between the two main protagonists. Another cliche in the nasty British villain. Stanley Tucci must have posted in his bit and looks bored stiff whenever on screen - much like the viewer

Teens and social media addled millennials (and maybe folks just back from the pub with some mates) may find it entertaining but I doubt anyone else will.

I am a white atheist Englishman. I do not pretend to understand the religions of India or the caste system and therefore apologise if people who appear to be offended by this series as being inaccurate on any of those issues think I am not qualified to review it. All I can do is to view it as a police procedural television presentation, and on that score I can tell you I found the program absolutely fantastic.

The acting, the interplay of the characters of different backgrounds was excellent. The pacing, the unfolding of the story, the locations was superb. The editing and cinematography was amazing. I cannot recommend this highly enough and if you want to see an interesting and absorbing police drama without the glossy American clichés then check out this series.

I'm afraid that some may say i'm not qualified to review this movie in view of the fact that I only made it to about the 20 minute mark before turning off. However that in itself maybe a good reason to post my views. It's just so, so bad.

It's lauded as some kind of feminist post Weinstein statement about how strong women are, but the "real" world already knows that - we don't need super rich snowflake hypocrite movie and music stars to tell us!

Instead, the movie is about a bunch of unpleasant foul mouthed talentless women who try their best to prove that females can be just as moronic and unpleasant as men. Well hip hip hooray! Job done.

You know when you've watched 10 minutes of a movie, and it's slow, boring and kinda pretentious. You wonder whether you should give it a little longer to see if it improves?

This doesn't! It gets even slower and even more boring and even more pretentious. I'm sure the people that made this think they made some kind of artistic cinematic masterpiece, and that the people who gave it really good reviews simply think they're cleverer than you, but as a public service I feel duty bound to advise you not to watch it.

If you exercise your right to make your own mind up, then please feel free - at least I did my bit so you can't blame me!

This movie is really just a string of violent fight scenes, nothing more. To hide the absence of a real, coherant plot, the movie leaps from cross to double cross, red herring to double red herring in a desperate bid to give it grvitas beyond it's comic book roots. Bill Skarsgard is again totally miscast - there cant be many 15 year old spies knocking about. Ms Theron adopts one of those clipped perceived english accents that all Americans seem to use (think Angelina as Lara Croft) but her role, as is the whole movie really, is one cliche after another. Overal I suppose it's a way to pass time, but mainly for the younger audience who think they're clever and hip.

At the time of my review IMDB shows a score of 7 for this dross. Absolutely impossible. The plot is lazy and implausible, the acting is pathetic, particularly Oliver Reed, who was abviously just marking time on this movie. The dialouge is embarrasingly bad. Did I talk about the plot? A bunch of college girls are kidnapped by an army - the girls turn out to be experts in combat, guns, grenades etc., and proceed to overthrow the army of men, run by the evil Oliver Reed (who adopts one of the worst accents you will ever here a professional actor use)

My score of 4 is genererous, but reflects that it's a movie you should see for a laugh on a boozy Saturday after the pub.

Crikey this film is awful! Stilted dialogue, clichéd set pieces etc etc Never have I seen two more wooden leads in a blockbuster movie. Both Cavill and Hammer are obviously struggling with their accents so much that they have to speak slowly. You can actually see them concentrating on their words. I swear I saw smoke coming from Cavill's ears one time.If they spoke at normal speed the film would be 30 minutes shorter (and better for it)

PG13 would be a fair rating if the ratings were reversed, I.E. if no one over thirteen was supposed to watch it. 13 is in fact probably the ideal age to view this.

The locations are beautiful and it is a visual treat, Alicia Vikander is good, but the plot is nonsense and, dear oh dear Henry and Armie are absolutely awful.

As a horror movie fan of many years I don't know why I haven't watched this before - probably because I can't stand the pseudo intellectual nonsense that pervades Ken Russell films. I was prepared to be proved wrong by this film, but alas it is the usual KR pretentious Micky-take. The first thing that strikes is some of the most inept acting in a big budget film. I'm not sure what accents Catherine Oxenberg and Sammi Davis are supposed to have but they are appalling. Hugh Grant is... well Hugh Grant really. It doesn't matter whether it horror or comedy (this is both) he plays the same role in every film. Then the trademark "imagery" starts to take over, which I'm sure delights those who like to think they can read significance into them, but is in reality just plain silly. Emperors New Cloths.

Avoid if a horror fan.

Seriously? Ten line on this garbage?

How come IMDb have a ten line minimum anyway, I'm sure I've seen hundreds of reviews with less.

I'll give it a go, but trust me this "movie" isn't worth ten syllables let alone ten lines. It's not even a movie as such, it's just a bunch of foul mouthed loser kids who borrowed their dad's camcorder and decided to massage their ego's by pretending they could make a film.

It's simply a stream of immature geeks saying M*****F*****, N****R, A*****E etc etc for about 86 minutes (if you can stay with it that long!) Hopefully in the 9 years since it was made they've grown up a bit and got lives by now.

Please Please Please do not bother with this dross

In my view this film was let down by the lead actress, Ingrid Isensee.

In her defence I guess this is largely due to the script she was given, which portrays her as a vacuous airhead who wanders about the film with a ridiculous detachment in terms of the other cast members. This lets down the entire premise of the film, which purports to be about a group of old friends getting together to celebrate the upcoming birth of the characters first child. There is no warmth whatsoever between her and any of the others, who at at least try to portray old friends.

There is no plot development, no clue as to why some events take place, and no attempt at explanation as to the carnage that occurs. This is a shame, because the direction and camera work is quite stylish. Overall a disappointment, but worth seeing to make your own mind up.

I generally like to seek out films with a favourable IMDb review, yet have not previously reviewed a film myself. It was the relatively high review score that prompted me to "break my duck" (it's a UK expression) because I simply can't believe how this film has got such good reviews. It has the most outrageously over the top acting and ridiculous script that I have seen in such a long time.

Perversely, it's the absurdity that is the only thing line that keeps it from being boring and predictable - you are weirdly compelled to see how silly it can get. Every single character's handling of the situation and dialogue is so unbelievable that it's almost funny . If you thought that Nick Cage was bad in the ridiculous "Wicker Man" remake then this is certainly a close second.

One reviewer called this film "subtle" and I respect all views, but I found this as subtle as a flying mallet. This is sub standard fare even for the limited acting range of Nick Cage, but Nicole Kidman is sadly wasted here and is capable of so much more.

Sometimes "over the top" can make for entertaining escapism, not here. Sorry, I know it different strokes etc, but I thought this was absolutely awful.
