Just seen this at a packed beckenham screening.What a shambles, firstly the lights were still on and the amount of latecomers coming in with popcorn 5-10 minutes was ridiculous as not only were they chatting but also using their mobiles as a torch :wall:


went in with low expectations but came out enjoying it. It was silly nonsense but boy did it keep you on your toes. It was very faced paced which was great.

Gloriously offensive in every way.

Everyone involved should be thoroughly ashamed

....8/10

Well, that was an adventure. Cineworld Castleford.
6.13pm movie starts - people still coming in.
6.15pm movie stops - lights come back up
6.30pm movie starts again - no sound
6.35pm after a bit of playing around they reboot the system
6.45pm movie starts yet again - 3 seconds lip sync problem (yes 3 seconds between seeing the lips move before you hear the words)
6.50pm movie stopped - told another reboot and 10 minutes wait but...
6.52pm movie starts again and this time they turn the sound down to a whisper during the opening boxing scene. Thankfully the sound is turned back up before the end of the scene and we all sat back to enjoy the movie.

Apart from all that it was a good action movie where you leave your intellect at home to enjoy it. 6/10

Really enjoyed this action packed movie, the acting was not the best Iv'e seen and the story line was full of flaws, however it does not fail to entertain and I could easily watch this again with intrest. 8/10

Went and saw this on Sunday Morning in Norwich Odeon.
Loved it . Lots of action, really good flow with twists and turns along the way.
Also very relevant given the happenings in North Korea at the moment.
I'd definatly p*y to go and see this (if i wasnt a very appreciative member of FMUK of course! :-) )

Saw at newham, worst cinema ever, overbooked screening and they opened another screen but had an hour wait, would have gone home, but OH wanted to see this. Good film but was spoilt by a load of yobs, who walked in from another screening. they sat playing with phones and thought they were tough guys, going from screen to screen watching films and only p*ying for one.

Saw last night at Didsbury - bit of a shambles with ticket collection as Sky lady took tickets outside and then anyone could have walked in - plus got there early to ensure a seat and although we queued the shambolic way tickets were taken in lobby ment it was a free for all when the screen was ready. Hope they are better organized on Thursday night for Iron Man 3.

As for the film - i quite enjoyed - agree very cheesy and very patriotic - but decent action 6.5/10.

Seems like there was a lot of disorganisation last night up and down the country!
I gave my tickets to a friend, who had never had free tickets before. I explained the entire procedure to her, and when she got to the Odeon, MetroCentre - at 6 o'clock, she was told by the rep from Sky that they had overbooked the film but she and her friend could choose another free of charge.
So they happily went to see Oblivion, being huge Tom Cruise fans, so she was more than happy with her free cinema tickets. :D
