Rented it from lovefilm, wasn't expecting much to be honest, but thought it was brilliant! Anyone else seen it? Well worth a watch IMHO.

Tom hardy was great in it and has made me more excited to see the new batman!

I tried to rent this but misread the film title and got the "Worrier", which was just loads of people looking like this

One of my favourite recent films. It's got a good balance of storyline and action. Tom Hardy is fantastic yet again, I'd go as far to say he's currently the best British actor. Nolte and Eggerton also put on a good show.

Not good.Very predictable and the fight scenes were a disappointment.The producers failed to comprehend how hard it is to make a good movie when the protagonists

are basically just rolling about on the floor

Some of it was predictable but some of it was unexpected.

Thoroughly enjoyed it, although the line on the poster from a review that reads "All of the Rocky films rolled into one" was rather optimistic IMO.

Yes it was predictable but I thought they did a decent job of the fight scenes personally and Tom Hardy/Nick Nolte are always worth a watch.

How does this compare to the fighter? considered buying the fighter but this also seems to be very highly rated

Upadated version of karate kid/ teen wolf.

Dire film, got bored so fast forwarded through the fight bits and bits of mumbled dialogue.

The Fighter is a great film IMO, whereas this is just a "good" one. Both well worth a couple of hours of your life though I reckon.

Each to their own and all that, but you're talking bks. smile

So basically you FFWD'd the entire film yet still felt in a position to offer a review?

Also a good film.
