Hi, sorry for commenting before watching but I'm having an issue watching the review, it won't play and I'm commenting because this has been going on non-stop for me since Tuesday.

Oh god. High School drama...Not more High School drama!

Bulk & Skull had fantastic theme music, btw.

 

[Redem]

Nah nah that's not smallville that's roswelll

First I was shocked by Stephen Fry as a tag... lol

Sad that Timothy Olyphant wasn't mentioned once.

I keep hoping he'll get a supremely awesome breakout role that'll land him more flicks. Pipe dreams I guess.

Happy Birthday Bob!

 

[GeorgW]

Happy birthday in advance!
Now this is annoying, should I watch it or not? *Remembers Michael Bay directed it* Eeh, I think I'll pass...

 

[Danial]

why was Stephen Fry a tag?

Also from what i remember of it the book, it was piss-poor. Not holding up much for this, still, looks better than Twilight.

 

[LittleWings]

I've yet to see any advertisement for this movie. I doubt I'll watch it at the cinema but when it's released on DVD I might just pick it up...

Also, Captain America. Oh yes!

Problem is that we are getting older. As older individual I look for films that are not the same thing I watched when I was 15. You also don't want characters to be blend, moronic and predictable. No amount of special effects works for me.

 

[Jikuu]

Happy Birthday, Bob! Great review. I find your stuff entertaining.

Probably Stephen Fry is a misplaced tag since one of the two fellows writing the book is named Frye. I'm sure they'll fix that at some point. I wish I could see MovieBob review a movie that had Stephen Fry in it. That'd be sweet.

 

[MowDownJoe]

Early Happy Birthday!

And also... Bob almost recommending a Michael Bay movie? Is it Armageddon yet?

 

[docsax]

Man, Bob, what would you do if The Question had never been created?

 

[emeraldrafael]

Yeah. I'll wait, and rent it. This seems like the kinda movie that works better as a rental kinda deal. Where you can enjoy it as sorta background news and pictures while doing half this stuff with friends and talking.

... Or as one of those made-for-tv movies they show on TNT/USA. Like the Librarian series.

Still amazed you haven't reviewed Sanctum yet. Especially since it's a James Cameron movie and it's been out 2 weeks already in IMAX 3-D.

 

[k-ossuburb]

As long as nobody sparkles, I'm cool with this taking over from Twilight.

 

[FlitterFilms]

Seeing the trailer and stuff I thought the action elements looked pretty cool but I don't think I have the patience to sit through a high school drama 1st half without having to rip my own face off out of sheer irritated boredom so cheers for the warning Bob, I'll give this one a miss.

 

[MelasZepheos_v1legacy]

For some reason the only thing I can think of when I see reviews and trailers for this is the movie 'The Covenant.'

Yeah, remember that steaming pile of shit?

So basically this is one I'm going to wait until it's a two quid DVD from TESCOs before buying.

And what the fuck is a riblecia Captcha?

 

[Angnor]

Nah nah that's not smallville that's roswelll

This was my first thought as well. All the previews had me thinking of this as basically, 'Roswell: The Movie'

Fun review as always. This'll probably end up as a rental once it makes its way to video.
