and the film is awesome btw

*surprise surprise a negative review on mansized....


I think it takes more than shaky camera work, a few explosions and a monster to get us excited :-)

Charlie Wilson's War and No Country For Old Men got 4 and 5 stars respectively in the last couple of weeks. They're both great films that we urge everyone to see.

I assume they are going to do the answers in the sequel, but tbh if it is shot in the same way, I think I will pass!

I think I agree with the reviewer. I like explosions and whale monsters with crabs that fall off and people exploding, but it just annoyed me. I hate rich guys at the best of times, so I didn't care if they all died.

Reviewers are paid to be negative anyway. Thats their job.

i didnt think too much of it, i was expecting better, there were some good bits, and great special effects, but ive seen better.

although that camcorder battery was amazing. also the camera was good, survived allsorts, and with a flash and night vision, wonder how much it costs ;-)

YEah it's like the toughest, bestest camera ever made. All in HD quality too. But why oh why if the guy is spending so much money on a camera, does he always have the camera at 45 degrees?

The reviewer picked up on it, but why did it keep changing size? Also, it must wear slippers to sneak up on people.

I can't beleive you think the most far fetching thing was the camera type and battery! ;-)

I must admin, I hated the main character guy, he was a tw*t and I wanted him to die. But as far as 80mins of entertainment goes then it was worth my £6 and £5 on a large popcorn!
