• Brilliant if, like me, you’re a child of the eighties
• A french co-production that adds to the mix nicely
• Genuinely touching
• Great 80s tunes and synchronised dancing scene

• Rather similar to a lot of other Will Ferrell movies
• Incredibly similar to a lot of other underdog-team/small-town/sporting/crisis-of-confidence movies
• Awesomely funky soundtrack
• Some nice slow-mo basketball shots

Slightly comedy nazis, some good underground/resistance banter, Carice van Houten is gorgeous, Verhoeven’s usual excessive violence.

Surprisingly dark, Costner pretty good, I was pleasantly surprised.

Even though we were on the second row and one seat from the left of the auditorium this was still a fantastic movie. As always it has a superb, gritty, frantic feel about it. There’s always one stand out hand-to-hand fight in every Bourne film and this one is no exception. The fight choreography is exceptional, I think I forgot to breathe for the entire duration. I agree with Michael Heilemann’s comments though that it seems all CIA hitman have to be male models with man-bags.

The final scene nicely echoes back to the opening scene of the first film with Bourne once again floating in the water. Plus, for once it was a blockbuster that wasn’t blatantly fishing for a sequel at the end of the film.

• Very surreal scenes in the “locker”, a lot more so than I was expecting
• Faultless CGI, as you would expect from ILM
• Keira’s hair seems to change every other scene
• Keith Richard’s cameo is entertaining and not overly gratuitous
• Initially the plot is a bit all over the shop but it comes together in the end
• Good usage of Sea Turtles
• Chow Yun-Fat is nicely menacing as the pirate king from Singapore
• You get to see Bill Nighy minus CGI!
• So Jack really is mad…

• Slightly too many bad-guys.
• An even better Bruce Campbell cameo than the first two films. His French accent had Kerry in stitches.
• The plot isn’t as smooth as the first two, it was like they were trying to cram loads of “cool stuff” into the last one in the trilogy.
• Excellent sandman “sand” CGI.
• Emo spiderman!

Danny Boyle’s latest film is hugely influenced by old skool sci-fi like 2001 and Alien. Lots of slow graceful special effects shots, very reminiscent of the ballet-like docking scenes of 2001. Mixed with the claustrophobia and utility of the internal shots of the spacecraft. It has a cast of relative unknowns apart from Cillian Murphy who interestingly isn’t initially portrayed as the lead. I’d recommend seeing it at a cinema as the “solar” special effects are awesome on the big screen.

• Aranovsky’s latest is his usual bizzare mix of “what the f*ck” and amazing visuals.
• Weiz/Jackman are both good.
• Jackman crying is sad.
• Awesome space visuals especially inside a Nebula.
• Another Mayan film?
• Remember, nobody expects the Spanish inquisition…

Well, this was a total snooze fest. I was expecting another noir-ish cop thriller like L.A. Confidential or maybe The Untouchables. But this is just a very stylish mess. The plot is hardly even attempted to be explained and it just meanders between Scarlett looking teary to Josh looking confused. The first film for a while where I was actually mildly bored.
