My Favorite Movies

An awesome film!!! Hugo Weaving is really good in this film, while Natalie Portman shows she can act and really gets away from her restricted role in the Star Wars movies. A very clever and impressive film.

This has to be the best film ever made. Acting, the effects, the directing, everything is excellent. Rightly deserved the 11 Oscars that it won. A total epic.

A brilliant, amazing film. One of the best films i've seen.

This is a far superior film than previous Batman installments. Director Christopher Nolan restores the franchise and explores the origins of Batman and why he became who he did. A much darker and more serious film, with one of my favourite casts for a movie. Everyone is cast perfectly, Christian Bale (who puts on a flawless American accent) is an excellent Batman. while Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Liam Neeson, Morgan Freeman and Cillian Murphy lend great support. The only weak actor is Katie Holmes. However her acting does not detract from the overall quality of the film. The cast, the acting, the dialogue, the music and directing are all fantastic. One of my all time favourites!

A total masterpiece. The acting was flawless, while Heath Ledger stole the film with his incredible performance. I did not realise how great an actor he was until i saw this film. I was glued to the screen and totally forgot that it was an actor playing the Joker. Certainly one of the best performances of a villian i've ever seen. The story is tragic and haunting, even more so upon a second viewing of the film. The film is probably the best super hero film ever made. Yet it doesn't feel like you're watching a comic book movie. Its dark and complex, has great action scenes, yet also is intelligent. Its more of a dark crime drama. While the film lasts for almost three hours, not one minute of it was boring and it kept my attention all the way through. It was as amazing as i expected it to be and it surely lived up to all the hype. Heath Ledger certainly deserves to be at least nominated for an Oscar, as his performance is probably one of the best i've seen on film. If i could have my way the film would also win the Oscars or at least be nominated for best director and best picture. Overall a fantastic film and one of the best sequels ever made in my opinion, alongside the likes of The Empire Strikes Back, Terminator 2 and Aliens.

Great inspiring film. Probably Ridley Scott's best film. A great story, told well which can be watched again and again. Russell Crowe's acting is excellent along with the rest of the cast. I particulalry liked Oliver Reed, who sadly died during the making of the film. Its a shame this film didn't win best score. I think the music is fantastic and possibly Hans Zimmer's best.

This is a brilliant film. The first part of the epic film trilogy excellently directed by Peter Jackson. It was vey ambitious and daunting to adapt a book such as The Lord of the Rings to the big screen. But the result is amazing. I think every actor fits their role perfectly and is just as i imagined them in the book. Ian Mckellen's Gandalf is spot on while Christopher Lee's Saruman is better than i could have hoped for. The film boasts some impressive special effects thanks to Peter Jacksons effects company Weta Digital which shows its skill, one notable example being the mines of Moria. The music is also superb and matches well with the film. The cinematography is also great and i think is even more so in The Two Towers and The Return of the King. The choice of New Zealand for filming couldn't have been better and the incredible landscapes are put to good use to really bring the world of Middle Earth alive.

Although some things have been slightly changed in the film from the book, that is only to be expected and i don't think it impacts on the overall quality of the film. I have heard some people complain about the length of the films but to me that doesn't matter, because the film is so engrossing and it just sucks you right in. Overall an incredible film well worth watching along with its two impressive sequels.

Even better than the first, especially the battle at Helm's Deep, which i consider to be the best battle scene in any film.

A bizzare yet highly entertaining film. Edward Norton and Brad Pitt were great. This is a film you definitely have to watch twice.

Although it does seem a bit more geared towards children in parts, it does have its good points, especially the lightsaber fight.

Okay the dialogue may be a bit cheesy in parts but in the end its Star Wars and its good. I like Christopher Lee in this film, although he seemed a little wasted.

Another good star wars film. Real good although i don't think it's perfect. Has cool fight scenes. It's also a darker film and not as childish which is good. Ian McDiarmid is great as Palpatine and probably the best actor in the film. The obi-wan vs Anikan fight is incredible, plus the Yoda vs Sidious fight is ILM at its best. I also think the opening sequence is brilliant.

A classic which is still brilliant today!

Probably the best star wars film. The Luke vs Vader fight is very good. Plus the ending is just legendary.

This film is great. The only think that i don't like that much are the ewoks. Other than that i think this film is great and rounds the saga off well. Classic.

One of the best films i have ever seen. A true story and great acting. I didn't think this was my kind of film, primarilly for its focus on boxing. But in a way thats just one part of the story. Its just a great film...

The story of a washed up former CIA agent turned bodyguard and the bond he forms with the little girl he is hired to protect. When the girl is kidnapped, he embarks on a mission of revenge on those responsible. This is a great film, Denzal Washington and Dakota Fanning act brilliantly.
and really work well on screen together. The only downside i have is the shaky camera style. But overall this is a great film.

This is an excellent film. With an overall theme of racism it is a powerful and emotional film. Has a great cast and made me think a lot about myself and the people around me.

This is still good, although seems a bit dated now. You can clearly tell the parts where they use a puppet for the Terminator. Also my biggest complaint is the music, as it is all electronic and very monotonous, however the main theme is classic and i really like it. Although out of the three Terminator films, the second one is my favourite, this is a classic and i still really like it.

"Your terminated fucker!"

A classic film, starring a top Hollywood actor at his height. A real action film with great special effects which look good even today. In my opinion Arnold Schwarzenegger's best film and probably one of the best sequels in movie history.

Good and just as good as X-Men 2 and X-men 3. Stays true to the comic book feel. I think most of the characters have an equal amount of screen time, which doesn't seem to happen in X-Men 2 or X-men 3 which seems to focus more on Wolverine, which is a shame. However the film is very good and has some great acting from Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen.

Has loads of action and is really cool. Introduces some new characters such as Nightcrawler! My only complaint is that it focuses too much on Wolverine. But this is still one of my best films.

This X-men film was great. At the start i didn't like it, but then the action started and i loved it. Some major surprises and twists in the film. Watch the end of the credits for an extra scene! I think the character of Angel was totally wasted, while having no explanation for the absence of Nightcrawler was stupid. Overall it was quite good, with Stewart and McKellen being the outstanding performers of the film. The effects of the film were quality as well. Here's hoping they make X-Men 4!

This is the second best Batman film next to Batman Begins. Jack Nicholson is brilliant as the Joker.

Will Smith is really good in this film and the part where the robots attack his car is pretty impressive.

Well acted, stylish and very realistic. A great film.

I'd wanted to see this Ridley Scott film for a while and it was better than i expected. Very good, i'll definitely watch it again.

Everyone should see this film. Spielberg's best film ever. Liam Neeson is brilliant.

A great film, which is very moving. Adrien Brody is great in this film.

Why Don Cheadle never won an oscar for this film and only got nominated i'll never know. Shows the horror of the genocide in Rwanda. A film everyone should see.

I had been wanting to see this film since it came out, after watching Edward Zwick's Glory and The Last Samurai. Both films, which i really enjoyed. Blood Diamond is another good film by Zwick. The acting was top notch, especially by Djimon Hounsou who seemed to outshine Di Caprio. However Di Caprio's acting was also very good and this is probably the first film i have fully watched which had Di Caprio in it, but now i am interested in watching more of his films. Jennifer Connelly's acting was also good too. The story was well written. The film had action as well as a moral tale to it as well. Maybe a bit slow in parts, but the quality action more than made up for it. Overall a great film.

An excellent film. Ken Watanabe is brilliant.

A wonderful moving film with a great cast. Denzel Washington won best supporting actor Oscar for his role. All the cast were superb though. One of the best war films i've seen, with great music score as well.

This film is superb, although its in German. But it makes it more realistic and you get used to subtitles.


Bruno Ganz is fantastic as Adolf Hitler and the guy who plays Goebbels is such a look alike for the real guy that its scary.

One of the most disturbing films i've ever seen. However its also probably the greatest war film ever made. People who say Saving Private Ryan is the greatest war film, should watch this. All other war films pale in comparison.

This film was great and one of the best war films i've seen. Set during the Korean War of the 1950s. It revolves around two brothers who are forced to join the South Korean army and their continuing efforts to survive. Shows how war can affect people and tear families apart. There would have been a time when i would have overlooked any film which wasn't in english or wasn't made by Hollywood. But this film, which is Korean cinemas most successful film just shows that other countries can make films just as good if not superior to Hollywood. I have read that this film has been compared to Saving Private Ryan. Although i wouldn't really compare them both, I think this film is far better. The storyline is good and the battle scenes are fantastic and seem so incredibly real and far greater than those of Saving Private Ryan. It was especially good to see a war film about something other than the Second World War. The Korean War has often been known as the Forgotten War and this film does it justice i think. A must see!

A clever and thought provoking film. Great stuff.

An excellent film, very accurate historically, well acted and great action sequences.

A great film. Ignore any historical inaccuracies and just enjoy the film. Good acting, great fight scenes and also some very good music.

*Review of the Director's Cut*

This is a good film really. The action scenes are good and it does have a good cast and a very good story. Ridley Scott is a great director. The film was much better the second time round.

This film is good for only one reason. Keira Knightley's in it. No seriously this is a good film. I had to watch it again to fully like it but now i think its great. I really like Hans Zimmer's musical score in this film as well. Overall regardless of whether or not this has any historical basis, it is still a fun film to watch and i really like it.
