Advantages: Great action, very funny
Disadvantages: It looks an old film and is but this is not always a bad thing

Lethal Weapon are classic films, they are ones that you must watch, everyone I know has seen at least one of them, they are brill, each one is as good if not better than the last. All four lead on to the next. This whole set are really funny as well as action packed, I think that you need to watch all 4 one after another to get the full affect. Mel is a great actor and these films just relay that. The first is just as good as the fourth, well worth ... Read review

Advantages: More scenes with Legolas!!!! :D etc...
Disadvantages: Nothing

I've watched the Lord of the Rings Trilogy so many times I know some of the lines by heart. It is officially one of the best movies I have seen made so far for this part of the 21st century. How could I not have this DVD?! ;) People keep complaining about how long the extended version is, but I assure you its excellence completely makes up for the time. The effects are great, the acting is great, the script is great, the storyline is great, the ...
...I hear of Lord of the Rings; but I was so awed by this wonderful movie(not just Legolas ;) ) and I decided to do my research and watch it again and again. Each time I watch it, there's something there that I haven't noticed before, and it never ever gets boring. The movie is basically on the story of Bilbo handing down the ring to Frodo his nephew who realises he must destroy the ring in the fiery pit of mordor at the council of Elrond Half Elf ...

Advantages: Great fun, terrific action sequences
Disadvantages: Slightly dated in places

...Hamilton (director on the forthcoming Live and Let Die) suggested the American actor for Bond. Other options included Michael Billington, best known for a part in Gerry Anderson's camp television series UFO. Broccoli looked for a compromise and started thinking about Roger Moore again. Roger Moore, now 45, had been considered for Bond more than once in the sixties but television contracts had always made him unavailable. His tv show The Persuaders ...
...back seat in busy traffic. Live and Let Die has some terrific action sequences. David Hedison makes a decent Felix Leiter in Live and Let Die. Hedison and Moore are good friends in real life and this is evident in the secenes they act in together. The trail leads Bond to the Fillet of Soul restaurant run by a criminal figure called Mr Big. Roger Moore looks a tad conspicuous wandering around Harlem as if he's just stepped out his Saville Row tailers ... Read review

Advantages: Good acting, great story
Disadvantages: Some violence

The other "Lost World" category featured pics of the Bob Hoskins BBC drama but was full of Jurassic Park 2 reviews so I've added this review here. This great BBC adaptation of Conan Doyle's famous novel was on TV over Christmas 2001 and the DVD and video were released about six months later. The basic story is that it's the early 1900s and academic Professor George Challenger (Bob Hoskins) believes there is a "lost world" where dinosaurs and other ...
...in London and goes to the rainforests of South America in search of this mythical land. He takes sceptical rival academic Professor Leo Summerlee (James Fox) with him as well as hunter Lord Roxton who funds the trip(Tom Ward) and journalist Edward Malone (Matthew Rhys). They follow a map made years earlier by a Spanish explorer and are later joined in the jungle by a settler, the Reverend Theo Kerr (Peter Falk) and Agnes Cluny who works as a Catholic ...

Advantages: Decent action and beautiful scenery
Disadvantages: Confusing plot, some dull and dreary acting

The 15th Bond film to be made saw a change in the lead role, with Roger Moore hanging up his boots as the smooth MI6 agent James Bond, and Timothy Dalton taking up the role, for what was to be the first of only two outings for him as Bond. The Plot Bond is sent to ensure the safe passage of Koskov, a KGB defector from Austria to England, where he realises that Russian KGB General Pushkin has reinstated the Russian policy of 'smert' spionam', meaning ...
...deeper, is going on. The Cast and Performances Timothy Dalton does not really cement his first film as Bond, and although he certainly looks the part, there is something of the charm or suave exterior we have been used to from Connery and Moore, and even Lazenby. Dalton's Bond is much more hard-hitting, run of the mill agent than the smooth talking ladies man with a mean streak. Maryam d'Abo is very sexy as Russian agent Kara, but her acting leaves ...
