The A-Team


SF: The plot was ok but really how did they make the A-team dull? Skip this and watch Losers. 3/10

50 Eggs: Very disappointing. So much waisted potential. Nothing like the series. They should have gone with a Starsky & Hutch style comedy if they were going to mess with it anyway. 5.5/10

Donkey B: n/a

Overall - 4.25/10

The Karate Kid


SF: This was ok at best, had a Sunday afternoon feel and some bits were just pure cheese. Didn't love it though. 5/10

50 Eggs: Mildly entertaining but a big let down really. The original hasn't aged well but its still better than this, and you kinda think that Jaden Smith would benefit from a good kicking. 5/10

DonkeyB: n/a

Overall - 5/10

Splice


SF: Ah my eyes. I loathed this movie, the story was boring and slow. The characters under developed and just horrific. I still feel ill thinking of this film. 0/10

50 Eggs: Gross to the point where I had to cover my eyes and squirm in my seat. But I did like the concept and there was a creepy atmosphere throughout. I couldn't watch it again but its still worth 8/10

DonkeyB: n/a

Overall - 4/10

Inception


SF: Christopher Nolan - a man with true vision. Everything is superb The cast (how Leonardo DiCaprio doesn't have an Oscar yet is insane) are all at their best. The concepts, the effects, all superb. Emotive and awe-inspiring. 10/10

50 Eggs: This is what cinema is all about. Great action, stunning SFX, imagination and a complex but coherent plot. Wow. The best films always seem to come out of nowhere. 10/10

DonkeyB: Yeah, it is that good. As near to perfect as you can get. If I don't give this film ten what conceivably would I give a ten to? I watched it twice in 24 hours at one point. 10/10

Overall - 10/10

Predators

SF: Tense, full of action and still surprised me at points, on a par with the original movies. 8/10

50 Eggs: At last, a film that does justice to the original. Faithful to Predator, but certainly not just a retread. Wipes the horrible memory of Predator 2 away. 8.5/10

DonkeyB: n/a

Overall - 8.25/10
