Skyfall. Judge Dredd. A two for one quick and dirty review (",)

<< < (2/5) > >>

Eldritch1969:
+1 for Judge Dredd. Stallone looks and acts like a wimp compared to this one. Recommended !

kahlid74:
Skyfall was a very good "Bond" movie and was the closest to those of the past.  I thought it was a good movie and I like it the best of DC's bond movies so far.

Judge Dread wasn't really a good movie per say IMO, entertaining sure but just blah movie related.

Grasshopper:
I saw Skyfall earlier today, and have mixed feelings about it.

It was good overall, but didn't live up to the hype.

I thought the first half was excellent. It was very intense in a good way, and I didn't mind the relatively slow pace. Frankly I'm tired of the Michael Bay non-stop CGI school of film making. A good director knows you need time to build up a back story, develop the characters etc. if you want the audience to give a crap about what's going on.

However, the film lost its way a little in the middle, and the ending just didn't work for me. Unfortunately, when you leave the cinema, it's the ending that tends to stick in your mind.

Heh, yes I thought that was slightly ironic as well. Craig is the only Bond actor who looks like he might be genuinely useful in a fight. That being said, he does look old for a 44 year old, despite being in good shape.

emphatic:
Dredd get a solid 5/5 from me. I was in high of sorts afterwards.  ;D

Skyfall I can agree on the 3.5/5, Bardem was great though, really liked his "transformation" when apprehended.
