Margot's Reviews

Although this movie was made for tv it still provided a solid 90 mins of entertainment. All the cast put in solid performances and the storyline sticks pretty much to the actual events

On a par with the original. The special effects are still good and the characters have developed quite a bit from the first movie. Overall a good follow up from the first with a much darker storyline.

Oh the pain, the pain!!!!! Classic tv series. I cant believe that this actually scared me as a kid. Brought back some terrific childhood memories

Better than the original. This has it all. Something for the kids to laugh at and the adults will love it as well. The animation is superb and the storyline simple enough for the kids to follow but will also delight the adults. The star of the show is without a doubt Puss.......In Boots.

Entertaining movie that has some funny moments. Lindsay Lohan is charming as the naive new girl and Lacey Chabert provides some comic relief.

Awful!!!! Val Kilmers whole dilogue seems to consist of saying "where's the girl" while trying different facial expressions and the storyline is impossible to make sense of.

Not my favorite Nicholas Cage movie but it has enough entertainment value to keep you with it until the end.

This has some funny moments and some that will make you cringe but overall the characters were so unlikeable that by half way through the movie I didnt care what happened.

If you can overlook Brad Pitts terrible case of wooden acting this is actually quite a good movie. Eric Bana is excellent and Orlando Bloom provides some eye candy. The battle scenes are terrific and the overall look of the movie is great

Brilliant movie. William H Macy and Aec Baldwin are marvellous. The movie is touching funny and changes direction so that everything that happens is unexpected

Dont be fooled into thinking this might be a good movie because it seems to have an excellent cast. It is an absolute turkey

Enjoyable if slightly predictable movie. I was expecting a female version of Dead Poets Society, this movie is however much more of a lightweight.

Watched this with very low expectations as I had heard nothing about it and was suprised at just how good it was. Not just your average shoot em up Bruce Willis movie, definately worth a look

I doubt that there is very much truth in this movie version but if your prepared to suspend your sense of reality for a while this is a fantastic movie with , beautiful horses and scenery and just the right amount of action to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Not side splitting funny but a highly amusing little movie that has all the right feel good elements.

A reasonable adaptation of a Stephen King story, although the ending is rather predictable.

Thank god this movie only goes for 78 mins and that my DVD has a FF button. A very slow movie that I felt really gave no insight into the characters.

Brilliant movie but not easy to watch. As the story is fragmented and moves from the past to the future it takes a while to work out what is happening but its well worth perservering as when it all comes togethor you realise what a great movie this is.

A very good movie that shows how far some people will go to make it. Excellent storyline and the acting was very good.

Awful, nasty, words cannot describe how terrible this is. Im a fan of the horror, slash em up movie but this was just awful.

This is probably one of the worst movies I have ever seen. How Tom Burlinson ended up in it is a mystery, must have been for the money. Not worth renting.

Not Denzel Washington's best movie but still enjoyable if your prepared to overlook some of the flaws in the plot

Not being a huge Adam Sandler fan I didnt think I would like this, but I was wrong. A great movie that has some laugh out loud moments, is charming, has great characters and an interesting storyline although there is an undercurrent of sadness throughout

A movie that has atmosphere, a great cast and a good storyline. Moody and atmospheric it certainly makes an impression

Excellent movie with enough twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seats right till the end

Continues the high standard set by the previous Prime Suspect movies. Once again Helen Mirren is outstanding.

Great scenery, great acting, great story. I expected to not really like this but was blown away by the intensity of the characters. Another superb role by Cate Blanchett.

A lightweight movie you would expect to see as the middday movie on t.v. However its still reasonably enjoyable as long as you dont expect too much from it.

Some movies are so bad they actually turn into classics (think plan nine from outer space) unfortunately this movie is just plain and simple bad. Dont waste your time its a turkey.

Not nearly as funny as the original but does pick up a bit after the first 30 minutes.

Pretty to look at, great music, stunning costumes but not much else. I think this was trying to be a parody of 60's movie's but somewhere it failed.

Just watchable. Not the greatest storyline, but has some good twists and turns

Wonderful scenery and a charming story make this more than the average chick flick

An interesting movie that deals with the inter-relationships between different generations of a family. Also worth watching to see the Douglas family working togethor

Awful. All copies of this should be destroyed so the movie is not inflicted on anyone else

A great movie that makes you think about how the smallest things can change your whole future. A little bit slow to start off but once it gets going its brilliant.

A charming little movie that will appeal to both adults and kids. Contains some good special effects and has a storyline that adults may find a bit light weight but the kids will like.

I neither liked or disliked this movie. Woody Allen playing basically himself and a storyline that while amusing in places but not laugh out loud funny left me ambivilant about the whole thing

Brilliant performances, and an in your face storyline make this worth watching

If you liked the previous El Mariachi movies then this one will not disappoint

Has some funny moments though I suspect a lot of the jokes went over my head as Im not jewish.

A good movie with some very funny moments.

For a comedy this was not that funny. A big let down.

Another excellent performance by Helen Mirren. Overall another great installment in the Prime Suspect series.

Another excellent installment in the Prime Suspect series. Great acting and a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat

Fabulous. No one does police shows like the British.

An interesting historical drama that is definately worth a look

This was promoted as being from the same team that made 4 weddings and notting hill and while it is a enjoyable movie it doesnt have as many funny moments as I expected.

Pretty standard action movie but still enjoyable.

An absolute masterpiece. This movie is complex and probably needs to be watched more than once to fully enjoy all the layers of the story

A bit of a let down. The plot and dialogue did not do justice to the cast. Overall reasonable due to the special effects and stunt scenes.

Entertaining movie with some twists and turns in the plot, the highlight of course is the fantastic chase scenes with the mini's. Probably one of the few remakes that actually surpass the original

Excellent movie with enough twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Strictly one for the Kevin Costner fans. While the scenery is beautiful the movie starts slowly and gets slower.

A movie that isnt what you expect it to be. Has some twists and turns and a few moments of suspense. Overall intersting and quite different

Not the greatest thriller I have ever seen but it had its moments.

One for fans of Tim Burtons movies.

Dont be fooled into thinking this movie might be ok because it has Billy Bob Thornton in it. It is a total shocker.

Having read the reviews for this movie I had convinced myself that it couldnt be as bad as everyone was making out. I was wrong.....This is an appalling movie with absolutely no redeeeming features. A abysmal storyline, terrible acting and shocking dialogue overall makes for a sickening experience. So bad I dont think I could ever watch any of the main players in this again without being reminded of this shocker. Avoid this at all costs.

Really a movie in two halves. The first part deals with the initial shock of a virus decimating the population and has some wonderful scenes of London as a deserted city and how a handful of survivors react to this complete change in their lives. Unfortunately the second half is rubbish and becomes a sort of dawn of the dead zombie type movie. Overall worth watching just for the first hour.

Although this is primarily a kids movies adults will also find it amusing. Frankie Minuz is a charming actor and hopefully will not lose his appeal once he reaches adulthood.

Although this movie probably runs about 20 mins too long you can forgive that through the absolutely fantastic performances. Jack Nicholson is fantastic in this though I suspect he was just playing himself and the rest of the cast even Keanu Reeves (he can actually act) is great.

Not as bad as I expected. An interesting storyline makes up for the at times bad acting. Overall watchable as long as you dont expect too much.

Bad acting + bad dialogue + bad story = awful movie. Dont waste your time with this turkey

Witty dialogue, great storyline and a fantastic cast. An absolute classic movie.

Actually a lot better than I thought it would be. Sharon Stone and Dennis Quaid are adequate as the husband and wife and the story does have some tense moments. Not the greatest thriller but still watchable.

This movie had the potential to be good as the storyline is interesting, however bad acting and shocking dialogue turn it into something below average.

While this is a classic movie at times the special effects which have to be the best ever produced in a movie tend to overwhelm the storyline. While seeing the first two in the trilogy isnt mandatory it will make picking up the storyline easier. Overall a movie that deserved its blockbuster status.

Suprisingly good movie in which Briitany Murphy shines. Overall better than what I expected

A typical slice and dice movie no suprises here

What could have been a good thriller was totally spoiled by the at times ridiculous dialogue. A dissapointing effort from Heath Ledger who looked uncomfortable in his role as a priest. Overall don't bother with this - there are better movies of this genre around.

A good fun movie that doesnt take itself too seriously. Michael Douglas and Albert Brooks are great. Overall good clean fun.

Dont bother with this one. I turned it off after 45 minutes. Dreadful story that was impossible to follow. Watch paint dry instead of this movie it will be more exciting

I wasnt expecting much and this movie totally lived up to my expectations. Sort of a Mr Bean does Austin Powers but nowhere near as funny as either of those movies

Very good movie with Cate Blanchett again showing her exceptional acting skills.

Fantastic movie. Sad, funny, uplifting this movie has it all. The cast is wonderful with the stand out stars being the two children. Watch this and you wont be dissapointed

Excellent movie with a storyline that has enough twists and turns to keep you paying attention. Gene Hackman and Dutin Hoffman are excellent and John Cusack again delivers the goods. Overall a classy thriller

An ok movie. Storyline is a bit predictable. Steve Martin puts in his usual acceptable performance. Overall midly amusing with one or two really funny scenes

Entertaining family movie with some funny moments. steve Martin puts in his usual solid performance but the kids are the true stars of the movie.

Bad, bad bad bad. The original was a classic but this is just a shameful remake. It has no redeeming features at all. Jessica Biel (7th Heaven) should stick to tv roles. Where the original had suspense and gore this version cuts out all the edge of the seat terror and replaces it with buckets of blood.

Superb. Beautiful scenery and an absorbing storyline. Tom Cruise puts in one of his best performances.

A bit long winded but overall a reasonable movie with some good special effects. The storyline seems to be disjointed at the start but its worth sticking with as it all comes togethor at the end.

Terrific acting, engrossing story, great soundtrack. This was a truly gripping story all the more so because its actually true. Val Kilmer was great and Dylan Mc Dermott sheds his perfectly groomed lawyer image as a tattooed bad guy.

Suprisingly good. The special effects steal the show and George Clooney is just ok but overall it makes entertaining viewing

Meg Ryan should stick with her "girl next door" roles. The storyline starts poorly and does not get any better as the movie progresses and tries to make up for the fact with some steamy sex. Overall a major dissapointment

The first half hour was boring and it got worse from there on. The main problem with this movie is that nothing happens and if it is supposed to be a comedy ............well I must have blinked and missed the funny scenes. Dont know how it got nominated for any oscars.

Fantastic, unbelieveable, funny, gory, this movie has it all. Definately worth the wait, nobody makes movies like Tarantino. While the story and dialogue arent as snappy as Pulp Fiction or Resorvoir Dogs the action scenes certainly make up for it

Absolutely fantastic. Funny, heartwarming and touching. These are the types of films that the British do the best. Helen Mirren and Julie Walters are wonderful.

In a word.................awful. Watching paint dry would have been more entertaining than this movie.

This movie was a huge disapointment. It started off with some tense moments but was badly let down by an ending that seemed to be tacked on. Overall what could have been a suspense packed movie turned out to be just plain bad

Finally a movie that shows that Hugh Grant can actually act. Toni Collette was also superb. Overall a movie that is funny but also has some really touching moments.

Not as good as the original Freddy movies or Jason movies. Overall a bit of a dissapointment with a storyline that even for these types of movies was predictable

Starts slowly and doesnt really pick up. Anyone who remembers the original cartoon or tv series will be dissapointed.

Awful awful awful!!! Tries to cover up the fact that the storyline is shocking by throwing in as many twists as possible. The ending feels like something that was tacked on as the writers realised that they had so many twists they were left with nowhere to go.

Im not sure if this was an ok movie that was badly edited or if it was just a bad movie. The storyline which could have been good seemed to be disjointed and eventually became silly. The special effects were just ok. Watch it only if you have nothing else to do for 90 minutes

Definately a movie that doesnt take itself too seriously. Overall quite funny. Michael Gross (father from Family Ties) is hilarious as a gun toting survivalist and kevin bacon and fred ward are funny. This isnt a movie for the serious Sci-Fi fan rather fot those after a laugh.

Superb. A heartwarming story, great scenery, totally won me over as I actually expected not to like this. Jeff Bridges and Tobey Maguire are wonderful in this and the part narrative style drawing on actual events of the era and the corresponding links to the seabiscuit story is original and entertaining.

I expected this to be for Heath Ledger fans only as the original cinema reviews for this were not great, but I was definately suprised. Excellent costumes and scenery and an engrossing storyline made this excellent viewing

On a par with the first Lara Croft movie, but overall good entertainment that doesnt try to be anything but fun

I watched this expecting a really funny comedy unfortunately the laughs were few and far between.

Terrific, funny, and one of the few re-makes that is better than the original. Jamie Lee Curtis was fantastic and it was a totally enjoyable movie from start to finish.

Confusing, illogical and overacted. What could have been a good story was ruined by too many implausible twists. This, combined with overacting by John Travolta and Samual L. Jackson, make this barely watchable.

Absolutely fantastic. The animation has to be seen to be believed. This combined with a wonderful story and endearing characters makes it a classic that can be watched again and again.

Definately not the usual Jim Carrey comedy. A very funny movie that as it goes on has some deep and meaningful moments. Overall a terrific movie that will make you laugh as well as think.

Feelgood comedy that has laughs for everyone. Eddie Murphy and Steven Zahn are terrific but the real stars of the show are the kids.

If you liked the first Bad Boys movie this one will appeal to you. The same mix of action and comedy. Some great car chases and other action scenes make this an enjoyable movie.

Overall not a bad movie. The special effects were ok and the storyline while weak in places follows the usual path for these types of movies.

Brilliant docu that you cannot watch without shedding a tear. Presents the terrible events of Sep 11 from a personal point of view of the firemen involved. By the end of the docu you feel as if you really know these people and how they felt on the day.

Not funny enough to be a comedy, not exciting enough for an action movie!!!! Harrison Ford seemed tired, bored and bad tempered, while Josh Hartnett looked half asleep. Overall a disapointment although a good car chase and Lou Diamond Philips very short appearance save it from being a total write off
