I was also starting to think I wouldn't really like a Tarantino movie again. Not a fan of the Kill Bills, nor Inglorious Barsterds.
I love dreadful B movies anyway so this obviously appealed to me!

I just really didn't think it was that good. It's a very watered down film I felt, and it just fails to take off. I've just now read that Heath Ledger died halfway through it. Perhaps this may have led to difficulties and maybe it does explain some of the disjointedness throughout. How they attempted to fix this was pretty admirable and it works out very well though. But in the end the script wasn't all that and as such it's just not a film I can recommend. Which I'm very annoyed at if I'm honest.

5.5/10
Watched this on the plane on the way out here and, if I was being generous, I would agree with Greenlizard. If I was being honest, I would say the film was a huge disappointment and not worth the effort. I thought the entire thing was weak throughout and a huge disappointment. One would expect better from Terry Gilliam

3/10 (It only gets that because of Lily Cole ).

Good choice, and an excellent movie.
I've always felt that the chase itself played second fiddle to the way they shot that one though.

I saw Up in 3D last week.

First thing, the glasses gave me a bit of a headache, not pleasant. 3D was used well though, just nicely complemented the film, it wasn't just indulging in 3D cliches by making stuff shoot out of the screen every five seconds.

Secondly the film, whilst good dragged for me a bit. It was very very predictable, in a way I don't feel many of Pixar's other films are. I felt a lot of the time I was sat there thinking 'come on get this bit over with' because it was obvious where it was going and what was about to happen. With say, Wall-E, whilst it could be predictable I never once found myself sat thinking similar things, I was enjoying the film too much.

I'd give it a solid 7/10 as it was a good film but I don't think it measures up against some of Pixars previous work.

Aye, iirc they set up cameras all along the chase scene so they didn't have to keep starting and stopping the cars to make sure the chase flowed. Loved that scene. In fact love the film.

Never knowing what the package is/was is a definite Keyser Soze moment, and a nice touch IMHO.

Men who stare at goats

Not quite as funny as the trailer led me to believe, though it has its moments. Often quite a weird film and my facial expression was largely changing between a slightly confused frown and a mild smirk.

Definitely worth a watch, 7/10
