All I can say is I loved it, twists, turns, a lot more heart than Tron had, well acted looked AMAZING, great story , not just action, action either good balance 9/10

I will be buying this when it comes out


I hated Tron Legacy. Thought the trailer for this looked OK but the reviews since have put me off. Might give it a go based on what you've said though ( although your love for Green Lantern concerns me :lol: ).


The only good thing about Tron Legacy is the Daft Punk soundtrack and Journey.

I still shudder when I think about Green Lantern.

I just don't get the hate for Green Lantern, it's better than Captain America and a lot more fun certainly a better adventure too :|

I think that's the inherent problem here.

Andy looks for different things in film. I agree with him on some it. Green Lantern was good fun.

I preferred Captain America over Green Lantern, but still really enjoyed GL.
It was just a dumb, fun superhero movie. I don't go into movies like that looking for anything more.

I should point out that my last 2 DVD purchases have been Bride of Re-Animator and Bad Taste, so I wouldn't hold my opinion too highly..

Yeah, some of my favourite movies of all time are terrible. See 3 Ninjas at Mega Moutain and Silent Hill Revelations.

Daredevil Directors Cut is one of the mine, The Mummy movies, National Treasure 1 and 2

A lot of films I enjoy have been savaged by the critics over the years, look at the Fast and Furious movies, for me the last few have been some of the best car orientated action films I have seen, the last one was epic, and this new 1 looks even better :lol:

I defo think Green Lantern was better than Captain America. Although neither are great. I like the concept of Green Lantern.
I see the bad moon arising.

It's quite good. But I think it's one of those that isn't as good as it made out, nor is it as bad as it's detractors say.

My favourite thing about it has to be Cliff Martinez's score. I love the sound of the Cristal Baschet.

Really? I know there was a sequel to the book drive, but I didn't think they were making it into a film.

To me the place Beyond the Pines looks like it could be a sort of 'related film', rather than sequel. In as much as the same actor playing a stunt driver who turns to crime.

Maybe not then, i'm sure I read it in Empire magazine last week though, the director was saying it was to do with that film

Meh who knows :lol:

There were talks of a sequel but I am pretty sure it isn't happening. And yeah I really liked the soundtrack.
