I thought it was woeful. You've got cardboard cut out characters, the crazy guy, straight guy, new guy. The crazy hero runs around doing completely stupid things and never gets hurt. People around them get shot with pinpoint accuracy, but these guys can stop in the exact same spot, have a drink. But same people who were dead accurate a minute ago now can't hit them at all. Its like the A team with out the van. No story, no plot, some stupid parts in the movie, like why did he follow that boy to the Professors house? I thought it was totally overrated anyway.

Totally agree. It was way too slow and the characters were not very interesting. The lead actor was straight from the John Wayne book of acting but obviously in the wrong century. The visit to the professor's house was nonsense and as if he would have made it back alive to the base, yeh right. I followed up the Hurt Locker with District 9 which was shaping up to be even worse but thankfully someone shot the writer, director and producer somewhere about 40 mins in and it actually became reasonably entertaining after that. How could such an ugly race of alien "Prawns" still make you like the cute little prawn kid. I actually felt sorry for the poor little crustacean when he was peaking out from behind a fallen beam in the incredibly crap looking space ship terrified that his dad, the big red jacket wearing Shrimp, had ended up in a huge glass bowl surrounded by 1000 island salad dressing and chopped lettuce leaves.

Watched Shutter Island last nite, didnt like it. Remined me of the The Shining.

The Box was ok, didnt watch the ending yet, i fell asleep. Mite watch it later.

Green Street was a good movie, Green Street 2 was utter shite but had a few good fight scenes.

Just watching Alice in Wonderland, not a fan of tim burtons movies and this has lost my attention already.

Going to watch Green Zone tonight, hope its as good as everyone is saying.
