Goldmember, a review by Dragonfire

My Thoughts

I did really like the first two Austin Powers movies, but I didn't like this one as well.  I still liked Austin and Dr. Evil fine..but I didn't like Goldmember at all.  He bothered me more than Fat Bastard did in the second movie.  I just can't stand the character.  I did like that Austin's dad was added in.  Foxxy Cleopatra was fine as a character, but I wasn't really impressed with Beyonce's acting.  I guess I just don't get her appeal overall.  Anyway, I did enjoy the movie overall even though I don't think it was as good as the first two.  I did think there was an interesting development or two...and it would have been interesting to follow those things further.

Kick-Ass, a review by dfmorgan

Kick-Ass

Year: 2010
Director: Matthew Vaughn
CastOverviewWatched: 10th Sep 2010
My Thoughts: Following the rave reception this film received here I was looking forward to sitting down and watching it. However as a long-time Daily Mail reader I have usually found that I can trust Christopher Tookey's film reviews and again, with this film, he hasn't let me down. What a total letdown I couldn't find any redeeming features about this film it was just a great big steaming cow-pat of poo!

My Rating: Sorry it has to be 0

The above was written as a joke because so many people here raved about this film. Below is my real thoughts and rating which were originally spoiler tagged to hide them from general view.

My Real Thoughts: What an immensely fun film. I thought that all the main characters came over well and am looking forward to watching it again very soon. As to Mr. Tookey's reviews - Yes I do trust them as, in general, if he dislikes a film I quite often like them and vice versa some he has rated highly I have found to be boring or lacking in the enjoyment factor.

My Real Rating: A very enjoyable 4

[Rerun Marathon] Spaced, a review by Tom

8/10

Another great episode. I found it as good as the first episode but not better (therefore "only" an eight)
