I hired this movie and watched it all - only for my loyalty as a Michael Biehn fan of 25 years. However, it was terrible. Sorry Michael but I hated it - from start to finish! I can only hope you will redeem yourself 'cause I'm losing faith. To non fans PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!!

I didn't enjoy the original, however I found this to be a well acted and action packed enjoyable film. I'm glad I hired it!

I know it's a 'cult classic', but no matter how man times I watch it, I'm still bored.

Poorly acted and a poorly written script. I shouldn't have bothered, waste if a hire.

Yes it's predictable, but for the songs alone it's very entertaining! I enjoyed it!

Brilliant! Joss never fails! Ignore negative reviews, if you're a fan of Joss Whedon and horror films, you'll love this movie!

I cried....a lot! Very good movie, but be warned - you will need a box of tissues if you know how it feels to lose a loved one.

I hired this for Christian Slater. Pity he was barely in it because the movie was not good. Don't bother!

Great show. This season was better than the first. Looking forward to season 3.

Disappointing. I will stick to watching the first three.

Not too bad. Not great, but worth watching primarily for Zac Efron, enjoyable eye candy. The film has a predictable and yet still touching storyline.

Surprisingly funny. Predictable, yet still a fun movie.

I love Michael Biehn and once again i was not disappointed, an outstanding performance, however the film was not enjoyable.

Although this film was attacked by critics and the reviews were terrible, I did not agree. I really enjoyed this film. Yes, it was all action and gun-fire, but the story was there and the character develpment was enough that I was upset when the good guys died. After watching some of the films with high accolades from critics recently, I'm beginning to feel I will continue watching the ones they dislike. Overall, an enjoyable Sci-Fi/Action film.

I love this movie because it doesn't try to be something 'big and important' - It is what it is. Simple storyline (very similar to The Breakfast Club) one day in a record store Brilliant soundtrack - chock full of awesome one-liners (Rory Cochrane as Lucas has always been the standout to me) The acting is "superb" (if you have seen it then you will understand that quote). If you have not seen this yet and you enjoy movies that aren't pompous and so far up their own a** to be"Oscar-worthy" then "the time to hesitate is through!"

I did not enjoy The Hangover (at all!) so I watched this film with very low expectations. I was more than pleasantly suprised, as from the beginning I was laughing out loud!!! This was one of the funniest movies I have ever watched. Robert Downey Jr was brilliant (the reason I watched this to begin with as I am a huge fan) although Zach Galifianakis, who I have not enjoyed a performance by since the TV show Tru Calling, was also suprisingly brilliant. Perhaps all he needed was a good script.

Something NEW in a genre that has been done to death. Provides some good "jumpy" moments and the clever use of Tiny Tim's "Tiptoe through the tulips" will ensure I can never hear that song without getting a shiver down my spine. Overall a very entertaining movie for fans of the horror/supernatural genre - although the "twist" at the end was obvious and not suprising in the least.

If you have watched the other two films in this franchise, then the third is a must see! It answers all un-answered questions and provides a great deal more scares than the first two films. I don't scare easily but I must admit I jumped quite a few times while watching this film!

I have prided myself for years with never falling asleep during a movie. ......Yet this film sent me to Slumbertown not once but twice! Rubbish. This was an hour and a half of Jet Li fighting (well I can only assume, as after the second time falling asleep I gave up trying to finish it). A perfect film to watch if you are suffering insomnia!

I love River Phoenix and yet this remains the worst movie I have ever watched!!! I have never been so bored (or just plain confused as to why such a brilliant actor signed on to make such a crap film) in my life.

Fantastic film that all Gen-Xers can relate to. Also, from a female perpective, you can't help noticing how attractive Ethan Hawke is in this film!! I stole the answering machine message that is played at the end of the film (it has played on my machine for almost ten years and still gets people's interesting replies) and many of the one-liners from this film were brilliant! "You look like a doily" - classic!

I first watched this movie when I was twelve years old and it has been my favourite movie ever since. I can recite every line and yet I still enjoy immensely every time(and I watch it at least twice a year)!!! The Breakfast Club has made me laugh, made me cry and overall leaves me with a smile on my face every time I watch it. The clothes may have dated and the soundtrack is classic 80's, but the themes are still very relevant. The outstanding script (John Hughes) and brilliant acting have made this film a cult classic that is a must see for all ages.

I watched this again as it was a favourite of mine as a teenager. I was pleasantly suprised that as an adult I enjoyed it just as much!!! Definitely worth watching.
