Saw the Watchmen just now. It was okay, it tried to be more intelligent than your average superhero flick. But I saw the twists coming a mile away. I also didn't like how the superheroes didn't really have any powers except extreme martial arts with no kind of variation. Dr Manhatten being the exception, he was the silver surfer basically which was cool.

Pointless nudity too and the main villain was a bit of a twat.

 Read the comic, much better

 Is it better than the V for Vendetta comic? that was a huge disappointment.

Saw Knowing which was crap and Paul Blart which was worse.

Also watching Stargate Universe which is more boring yet different, more realistic and mildly compelling.

Fringe season 2 is being watched too. Are they trying to introduce this brunette detective as a main character? Do not want.

Saw Hercules last night.

Disney incessently repeating itself. Main character who feels "different" i.e the black swan/ugly duckling story again. Comedy sidekick, check. Breaking out into song, check. Romantic interest, check. Predictable ending, check.

Snoozefest? Semi-check.

 Yeah, Hercules was never really my fave Disney movie. Though James Woods is AWESOME in that film, and more than makes up for it.

Saw Fantastic Four the movie a few days ago. What a horrible movie, why is doom, not Doom? The special effect suck, the acting is crap, the story makes no sense. The only good thing is Alba in her tight suit.

Second film is a lot better, if only because of the silver surfer.

That's like saying AIDS is better than Ebola 

Got back from:  

It's better than the trailers let on. Sure, the plot is pretty standard fair and the acting is barely passable (I swear, Sam Worthington swaps between Australian and American accents quite frequently), but everything else is fucking awesome. 

Seeing it in 3D may not be the best experience (there are times when it doesn't quite work), but it highlights that the CG is fucking outstanding.

I watched Ninja Assassins last Sunday and what can I say. It is a crappy movie. 

The action scenes are filmed by a shaky cam, meaning that you can't really follow what is happening. There are some huge ass plot holes, so big you can fly a plane through it. Besides some cool ninja moves this film has nothing. Do not see it unless you have a few cynical bastards with you! Then the movie becomes so bad it is awesome.

So if you must see it, take these two with you.

Hercule.

It's repetitive, but the muses and Hades' two lackeys somehow fix it all.

What other disney fare do I need to see?

Tarzan and little mermaid any good? Lion King?

I've avoided lion king because Elton John sucks balls.

Musically I mean.

Tarzan is great. Everyone loves Lion King and Little Mermaid. I've not seen either.
