Here is the thing, mafia films are more or less dead. This film had a good storyline, locations used gave the film a very convincing feel. You had a mix of very well known names and known names. The rhythm of the film was good as well. It had all the right ingredients for a excellent film. But unfortunately whoever wrote the dialogues and casted people surely didn't consult each other. Most of the very intense moments of the film had long dialogues and the characters playing the roles could not bring any intensity to the situation. And once again a good at heart stuck in the criminal world is not really ideal either. All the old mafia films were good because they went all the way good at heart or not. They generated that feel and compassion that they want to a part of mafia. This is a mafia chick flick at the best. Anyways with some shorter dialogue in hyped up scenes would have done the justice to the talent in the film. Or a better cast with the same dialogues and a bit bold director, who wasn't scared of leaving the good guy routine behind, could have made this film work.

Just my opinion.

I was very happy that this sudo reality thing was restricted to TV but they have made their way to the films as well. Story follow from Slumdog the Chai Wala has become a chef now and he is entering the MKR or Great British bake-off with the pinch of racism, ego and stubbornness. Helen Mirren as usual is good, the young boys and girls did a good job as well but F**k Om Puri East is East was good but that was 20 yrs ago move on mate. Location of the film was very good the follow of the film is not bad only thing that bothers me is that you get French and Indian together and the 99% of the film is English. Production company had 1 target market and that was snobby people in the world, who after watching this can say yes awww look such nice people. Give this same story most probably the same director but with independent funding and hopefully, actually not hopefully but surely this movie would have been awesome.

I think I am not the only one here who is a bit sick of the CGI and the massive big budget dramas. This movie is a very pleasant change and I enjoyed it very much. Tom Hardy was good (not excellent as everyone has been suggesting). The story is very simple and to the point. The thing that I enjoyed a lot was the frequency of the film and the way they fluctuate between highly intensity to a bit calm and then back again. The camera work very good.

That all being said I still think there is something missing here. I cant find any major flaws in the film, its in the premise of being a highly rated film but something is little bit off. And after thinking a lot I think Tom hardy was trying very hard to keep the calm, cool and the lovable being and he never let go of himself in the character. I think that was the only thing that stopped this movie to be the ultimate thriller drama that it could have been. And it had all the ingredients to be one of the best movie this year. Well just my opinion but still highly recommended, please do watch this and have your own take on the film.

Well where should I get started. The story, the acting, the direction and the concept crap. Leslie Mann if your character was real I would that they cheated on you at the least cause you don't want to know the other options( it involves American psycho). Cameron Diaz the blonde sex symbol routine was sexy 10 years ago please give it a rest. You are not even 40 anymore and it actually shows, to be honest still got a hot figure as long as its a wide shot. Kate Upton well the reasons her acting sucked less, 1 she had a very small role and 2 its hard to concentrate on her acting while the screen time. Story was plain dull, jokes were very over hyped with least funny punch lines. and for Nick Cassavetes how do you go from directing John Q, Alpha Dogs and my sisters keeper( though with this one they had a very touching story to begin with and a very good cast) to directing this. Was Tyler Perry a consultant on the movie? I recently saw game of thrones and Nikolaj Coaster-Waldau was very decent in it, but this s**t. I just figured it out this was made for 10 to 12 yrs old audience but wait its PG13, so who was the target audience. 3 out of 10 only for pretty faces.

I am a very big fan of stand up, but there is a difference between stand up and a movie. Ice Cube well can I actually say anything no f****n words can ever express my feeling about his original acting skills. Whole movie is like a never ending sitcom with a lot of overacting and a s***storm of bad jokes. it is not a film it is a s***y version of SNL with 1 story. To be honest I am a very big fan of Friday trilogy maybe a different time of life but at least it made me laugh this made me question my sanity. as i said before it is going to be short so please if you enjoyed XXX-2 then yes this is the movie for you otherwise you don't need to experiment just stick to your gut feeling and skip this.

First of all let me start to say that I hate Michael Bay more than most of people do. He is tacky, repetitive and loves to overdo most of his movies. He has done so many bad movies that is very easy to count his good one, believe me you wont need your second hand to count the good movies. That being said, if we are talking only on the transformer movies, this was way much better than 2nd and the 3rd. I don't understand all the hate about the movie. i thought the action was brilliant, they introduced a lot better actors than the previous installments. Lets talk about the pluses here, there's no Shia, there is no Tyrese, there is no Duhamel and no Ms Whiteley. Instead you got a cast of very mature actors. Negatives its a bit repetitive but so was the cartoon series and a bit long( but trust me the action makes up for it). One thing that makes this movie a lot better than the rest is the human contribution. Action bit are much more frequent and movie doesn't die in the end like the last two. Graphics were amazing, action was superb, story not bad and acting is very decent. I am not saying that it is the best action movie of the year, but if you are a transformers fan it is a must watch. Maybe it is because the last 2 were so bad that this felt very good. I don't know what people were expecting when they went to see the movie and seriously don't understand the hate. To be very honest this transformer was the best for me( may be I cant stand that little s**t Shia). My suggestion is not to skip this movie just because of the reviews and give it a go specially if you are a transformer fan and the previous ones put you off it.

Well its hard to explain, they did a decent job to with the story to connect but I think the biggest problem was casting. Sullivan Stapleton tried his best not to be a Gerard butler and he did succeed in being very non threatening and the planner, but I was just to plan. Eva Green did the best she could, may be for some people the best in the film, but it was very predictable and got boring mid way through the movie. Rest of the characters were a very bad continuation of the first part. But I think the worst part was the over doing of the violence and the blood, it looked like the kill bill final blood spray scene. With the action there were a lot of resemblance to the original. 300 was good because it was new different and vibrant this one on the other hand is a bit over doing of everything. Xerxes was scary in the first one, in this one he is very gay looking(sorry I am not a homophobe but that is the best description that I can come up with). The dialogues had there moment but a lot of the time they lack conviction. Still I do assume that this is better than what I expected from a director with more than less to show for. One thing for sure we don't want another Zack Snyder, who started of very good and then sold into the big epic movie with dumb down ending(I guess he was out of options). In my opinion 5 out of 10 for good connection to the sequel while trying to keep Leonidas and Themistocles very different characters.

Just saw the movie. It was a very decent movie. You do expect the actors to do what they were suppose to do. Kurt's Elvis was a bit copied from 3000 miles but rest was good. Comedy was good. One thing that was sh*t was the score, I wish they had some better people in music department. Jay was what he is in every movie, a excited kid, which was a bit boring. Rest of the guys were up to it. But the movie is worth watching. To be honest the only thing movie lacks is the major finance, which I believe kills the new idea. I would still thing that it is worth a watch and to be criticized on, But a very good effect.

Plz do watch and decide for yourself.

I just finished part 1. What I cant wrap my head around is that dialog spoken softly doesn't mean that they are deep and logical. And the pathetic analogies. Most of the characters don't have depth. The main character is just going on about nothing. Uma Thurman's bit is over the top embarrassing. It is a really bad excuse for a art. Blue is the warmest color also got hyped because of the sex scenes( I know there is no comparison but for argument sake) the characters had depth, story was intelligent, direction was good and best for all the acting was amazing. This movie on the other hand fails on all of the above. Problem these days is that if some critics praise a painting made of s**t, create a hype people will want it. I am one of those people that's why I bothered with this piece of crap. Nothing real or creative about the movie, bunch of big names trying to sell crap. Be a judge yourself and watch the 1st if it excites you.

Giving it 3 for the locations used in the movie.

It is a real good movie a must watch for people who like movies with some reality. The direction is real good. Mostly everybody did justice with their roles(some exceptions). Manoj, Nana and Ajay stole the show. Mr Shah as usual is real good in the short role( he tends to get monotonous after a while). Mr Rampal good acting but he is too much model looking for this role. Ms Kaif as well she is hot but i think that she should limit herself to the romantic comedies because she really cant act(hate me for it but thats my opinion). Ranvir did a excellent job, its was of course his movie, in first half a the movie. I guess they wanted the movie to be a Indian style full length feature, which without the songs is a tuff task, but the story lost the track towards the climax. You can make a real average film eg Mist, but a solid ending can make up for the rating. Or you can make a real good movie and mess it up with a below average ending.

Still a good entertainment and nice work by MR Prakash Jha.

I have seen a lot of Indian movies which were copied from some real good Hollywood movies. Some though they were copies of Hollywood movies but still worth a watch. Like Kante (a mixture of Usual Suspect, Reservoir Dogs and heat), Musafir (a mixture of Confidence and U-Turn) and a lot of other titles. But this movies which is one of the most pathetic copy of Snatch. Most of these B rated directors they go to a DVD store, watch the movies and translate it in there own language to make a new movie. Well anybody who has not seen this movie i will suggest don't waste your money. If you have seen snatch and liked it you will be really disappointed to watch this. Somebody should inform Guy Richie about this mockery. I definitely believe that most of the actors in this movies have seen Snatch what i can't understand is how do they agree to such a non-sense. Well only one more thing for everybody in bollywood They should try to do some original work cox that's what they are good at. Stop ripping others ideas and embarrassing yourself by making such crap.
