OK before i start let me say that it's almost 2 in the morning and kind of tired, but i wanted to get this of my chest while the movie was still fresh in my mind. So forgive me if this makes no sense.

I am a huge fan of horror films and have seen plenty of slashers over the years, (although there are still tons more that i have to check out) but this has to be one of the worst slashers i have ever seen. I saw the original mbv a few years ago and don't quite remember it too well, so don't think that I'm hating just because I'm hung up on the original.

I understand that quality acting is never a big part in any slasher but this is Ridiculous, i have seen better acting in a F13 sequel. The acting was absolutely horrendous. The story was line was paper thin at best and it had one of the worst twists i have ever seen.

The 3D did absolutely nothing to better the film, it was just a cheap gimmick used so it distract people from seeing how bad the movie really is.

My rating for this would have to be 3/10. While the story was clichéd, dumb and pointless, the gore and TNA managed to keep my attention. rent the original instead.

I dunno about anyone else but the 3D also kinda hurt my eyes.

I have wanted to see this film since I saw it advertised at the Melbourne Film festival so naturally I had to see it opening night when it came to my local cinema, I saw it last night and what can I say, it was fantastic, I had no idea that Australia made so many films in the 70's and 80's.

The film features interviews with a lot of Australian directors, filmmakers, critics, some A list Hollywood actors and even Quentin Tarantino, who has an unbelievable knowledge of Australian exploitation cinema.

The film explores the good, the bad and the ugly of Australian genre films. There is no doubt that there were some pretty dodgy ones made at the time but there is no denying that there were also some real gems made as well, it's just a shame that they seemed to do better overseas than they did here.

Weather you are interested in Australian film, Australian culture, or just film in general I highly recommend seeing this film. Listening to the filmmakers stories about how they made there films is both amusing and inspiring.

Over all this is a fun movie that should be seen in the theater.

I just got back from seeing this movie and what can i say? It was actually pretty funny.

I have been reading some comments on here, saying that the movie is racist and politically incorrect. While i do some what agree, i gotta say it's good to finally see a movie with some balls. Pretty much if you are easily offended by strong violence you most probably wont like this film.

The cast in the film were great. Robert Downey Jr was great as an Australian / African American and Tom Cruise was fantastic in his cameo, i didn't even recognise him until the end. Ben Stiller was, well Ben Stiller but he did a good job a writing and directing.

Over all the movie was solid and funny. It wasn't your average politically correct comedy, and thats what was so great about it. If you are looking for a fun action film I highly recommend it. If you are looking for something along the lines or meet the parents style comedy you will be let down.

it's good to finally see Hollywood make fun of them self for once.
