Advantages: Innovative plot
Disadvantages: Slightly tired genre

...a very large snake (an anaconda no less), with a very cleverly thought out plot and lots of frightening action with a slightly far fetched scene where the snake eats a man in his entirety (as snakes tend to do) and then spits him back out; the man is covered in digestive juices then winks before collapsing to the floor. These kind of quirks make for a very innovative and eye-catching form of a genre, a pleasure to watch! ... Read review

Advantages: shows true habitat of the anaconda
Disadvantages: the snake wasnt real

...close to haw a real anaconda would live, its shows that a 60ft snake could eat a human in 1 and still go back for more, the storyline behind the film was great, i loved watching it, and when the snake first showed that was it i was glued to the screen, i didnt want to miss a moment after that. Everything about the snake was so life like and after actually seeing a baby anaconda it is amazing that something could grow to be so big and so dangerous. ... Read review

Advantages: Great all round movie.
Disadvantages: A lot of violence

Apocalypto is the story of a happy Indian youth ripped savagely from his rainforest life by ruthless, bloodthirsty Mayan warriors. Its portrayal of the Mayan culture -- including its strange dress, hair styles, costumes, tattoos, body piercing, and decorative scars, as well as its industry, class system, cities, warfare, weapons, myth, and religion -- provide a bizarre and fascinating backdrop for what is, at its heart, a solid, thrilling, fast paced ...
...The movie does have a lot of violence, which although not for the faint hearted, is a realistic part of the culture being described.

The acting is superb and the direction is without a doubt Mel Gibson's finest work. All in all a highly recommended movie. ... Read review

Advantages: Matt Damon's performance
Disadvantages: n/a

...list of favourite actors until The Bourne series. It's a cliché I know but Matt Damon was born to play Jason Bourne. I think that no film he's been in before or since has fitted him quite as well. For me, Matt Damon delivers his best performance yet in The Bourne Ultimatum. If you are a fan of the first two Bourne movies, you will not be disappointed by The Bourne Ultimatum. For those who have seen the first two installments this installment fits ... Read review

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Most of the film, acting, story

...widescreen presentation 2.1 surround sound 100 million years back in time Dino Evolution Blooper reel Deleted scenes I have not wasted any more time in watching these as the film was such a let down. The film has a certificate of 15 which is probably about right as there are some scenes of men being killed and eaten by very unrealistic dinosaurs. Thankfully we only paid £2.97 for our copy of this film which I am pleased about as if I would ... Read review
