Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
Best pirate film in the world - ever!
I love this film so much!
Everything is perfect - Johnny is wonderful as Jack Sparrow, Orlando is gorgeus as the hero and alongside Keira makes the best looking and talented young couple in modern cinema.
Gore Vebinski's direction is flawless; the music is fitting for every scene - a highlight is the soaring anthem for the final battle scene. And I've not even got onto the delightful support actors and the jaw-dropping special effects!
Above all though, there is a strong story and script, with a perfect balance of humour, action and romance.
And the DVD is great too - very highly recommended - 10/10.
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)
One of the worst films I've ever seen
Appallingly bad. You wonder if they did it on purpose - surely they knew that the story made no sense, and the amazing lack of continuity makes you think maybe they deliberatly made it this bad? You can see the "twist" coming from pretty much the opening scene, but the biggest flaw in this film is that you just don' *care* about anyone. You almost want the world to end just so you can leave the theater. But once the Gameboy-style special effects leave the screen and 2-dimensional characters finally walk away, you can't help but feel they messed up a promising idea. Let's just hope the sequel is a million times better. Not that I'd risk wasting another 2 hours of my life....
Glitter (2001)
Great if you like fun films like Grease!
This film really isn't very bad at all. In fact, I've watched it almost a dozen times now! If you like cheesy films like Grease and Singing in the Rain, then there's every chance you'll love Glitter! Don't sit down down and watch it expecting a Citizen Kane or you will be disappointed. Expect a fun peice of frothy delight, and you'll be pleased with what you see. Yes, the script is a little weak and the story is just unbelievable, but let yourself get swept away by the magic of the film! Mariah is surprisingly good in the lead role. Alot of the bad reveiws were thinly veiled personal attacks on her, which doesn't tell you much about the film does it now? Give it a chance - you might just love it as much as I do. 8/10.
