If you liked this film as a kid, whatever you do, don't watch it now... Unless you are gay. My friend Adam is, and he counts it alongside Top Gun as being one of the finest pieces of homoerotic cinema ever. Seriously.

I remember reading a critique of scorsese's work, and this person said that "watching his film's are like going to a gig, and wishing you were in the band." Damn right. I've never again seen a film so exhilarating. Pure breakneck speed entertainment. This is what cinema was invented for.

This film had a lot to live up to, but thankfully it far exceeded my expectations. Rather than sully the reputation of the franchise, this film builds on it and gives, I think, the most human film of the series. The action is still there by the bucketload, but it never falls into the Matrix Revoloutions trap of set peice after set piece doldrum. It's not quite as epic as T2, and not as taut as the original, but this film's ending kicks the sh*t out of both them. Roll on T4!
