So there's certainly more incentive to visit your local multiplex than there was in the past i say. Oh, I don't know. I still go to the movie theatre only a few times a year at most, just like I have for the past 25 years or so. This year my films were/will be John Carter (which was OK, despite the poor box office), The Avengers, and The Hobbit. --------------- |

Inception. A completely original film,  I assume that you never watched Papurika then. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

I assume that you never watched Papurika then. Yeah and the Lion King was a rip off of this  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058817/ Nolan had presented the idea for Inception back in 2001 to Warner. Although it was more envisaged at the time as a horror film. | | | | Last edited: by ShinyDiscGuy |

OK zombie boy give us your thoughts on the film. Or do I have go namor on you.  Well I hate to do this because I can't stand it when someone raises my expectations for a film too high, but when threatened with drowning I guess I have no choice. I think overall it is the best superhero film yet. It's not perfect, and it doesn't have the gritty realism of Dark Knight, but overall I enjoyed it more. I think it's possible Whedon reached just a tiny bit too far for humor in a couple places, but there were just too many 'holy crap' moments to hold that against him. Besides, the humor works spot on 95% of the time. I would encourage watchers to skip any trailers they haven't yet seen, and to avoid detailed reviews like the plague. See it in a good theater and arrive early enough to get good seats (something we didn't do last night but will on Sunday!) | | | | Invelos Software, Inc.

| | Posted: | | | | I agree with what the zombie said. I would add one additional remark, especially given the music composer, Alan Silvestri, the film lacks a good solid musical signature
But aterrific ensemble film, especially given the caliber of the talent involved. | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| | Posted: | | | | That's an odd question Scot. I think it is self explanatory given the relative profiles of those involved, they are not on the level of a judicial drench or Merton stereo, bit they are not unknowns and they created a good.ensemble. | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

In all fairness Robert Downey jr and Scarlett Johansson have some good performance's under there belt. As for the film itself i seen it today, and what a bland, boring obvious affair it was. I will re frame from going into any detail as im to tired to at the moment  I will say this though. Pistol's don't stop god like creatures or fighter jet's |
