This movie sucked so bad I couldn't finish watching it. I am getting so sick of these immature movies trying to reflect some sort of twisted version of real teenage life filled with a countless array of sexual innuendos. It's not funny , and anyone who finds constant penis humor hilarious mus be a very sad and moronic human being.Someone Marry Barry - 50%. Appealed to my inner 'fratboy' since the humour such as it is is puerile in the extreme, that being said I did laugh my tits off at some points (I guess think a low brow bridesmaids/hangover type of film)
The Legend of Hercules - so glad I didn't pay for this pile o' shyte. Made it to about 5 mins avoid

t rate is about 1:9 these days Edited by Adam B on Sunday 11th May 22:06

I know I'm a few years late, but I just sat through Black Swan.
OMFG that is without doubt one of the worse films I've ever seen.
I don't even know where to begin...
You must be on some sort of point in your life when you cannot appreciate fine theatrics such as the Black Swan. May I ask how old you are..OMFG that is without doubt one of the worse films I've ever seen.
I don't even know where to begin...

My mum and her pals (all in their twilight years!) went to see it because they thought a film about ballet dancers would be perfect entertainment...

They not seen Red Shoes?
Ballet is never happy!
I think they thought it would be some sort of feelgood story. Another spectacular misfire; one film they went to see because "it was a comedy" had some fairly explicit (by their standards) man-on-man action, at which point they got up and left. Forgotten the title now, but when she told me the story and started by saying "we went to see <name of film>..." I just burst out laughing.Ballet is never happy!

for the most pretentious thing I've read on PH to date.My fundamental problems with it were:
(a) the pacing, which was far too rapid for the subject matter. It was like watching a 90 minute music video, or a normal film on slight fast forward.
(b) my own perceived lack of any sympathy for the lead character. She didn't start by being a particularly likeable person and consequently I found it very hard to care what happened to her within about ten minutes.
(c) the film busted its hallucination flush too early. So again, I no longer really took much notice of anything that happened to her because I didn't know (or care) whether it mattered.
(d) the French choreographer was such a cliché he may as well of been made of a single piece of cardboard.
My OH and I give films a rating out of ten after we watch them. We usually argue at least a bit and end up agreeing on a fairly inoffensive rating to keep the peace.
This time we both just said "zero".

The Red Shoes is an interesting parallel by the way.
Apart from the obvious thing - they are both about ballet - they are both very visually stylish but ultimately very light on plot. The Red Shoes really is a feather light romance, gorgeously filmed.
They also both have an overall colour pallette reflected in their titles!
The difference is Moira Shearer's character is very sympathetic - we want her to succeed - while I for one couldn't give a hoot what happened to Natalie Portman.

Well, you know what it's going to be, so there is no surprise in old rubber legs.
The best way that I can describe it is that it has been shot like the porn movie money shot. Every scene involving old rubber legs is produced in a slowed motion way. The makers clearly wanted to add some mystique to the movie - dare I say it, they wanted the audience to be in 'awe' of rubber legs but the net result is that it is well and truly utterly cliched rubbishy driveling movie dung. I expected 3/10 at best, it does not even deliver that. 1/10 and that's because the other things almost won.
He wins. That's all you need to know. Do yourself a favour and watch something else instead.

Now You See Me. I saw it on a plane and still felt cheated. How can so many award winning actors make something so absolutely dire? It was obvious how most of the crimes were done, the fight/chase scene made no sense when they tried to explain it (too many happy coincidences and characters managing to beat rush hour traffic to be in exactly the right place to make the explanation work) and the final twist was so unlikely I almost woke the bloke up next to me with a snort of derision.
It was obvious that the “brains” behind the four horsemen was going to be related to the magician that committed suicide after being exposed. How did his son get himself into the position he did? How did he even afford it? Plus what happened to the magicians in the end? They’re still wanted by the police and on the run, even if they are now in his stupid club. Kinda puts the kybosh on a residency in Vegas…
I was hoping for another Oceans Eleven. What I got wasn’t even as good as Ocean’s Twelve.
