    i've heard its meant to be quite good, altho am not a huge michael bay fan he is good at one thing making explosions lol.

    i heard that it cost a fortune to make, bombed at the box office and is now getting sued :lol: because its practically copied from a book. (i think, cant remember the exact details)

    Canny film like, loads of action in it, didn't think they'd be that much, but wasn't over the top. You pretty much know what's going to happen all the way through it, but doesn't spoli it. How lush does Scarlett look:drool: her total blonde hair looks lush, even though I perfer brunette.

    I wasn't planning on seeing it, I didn't think it looked that good.. Seems like everyone's saying it's really good though, so I might. :D

    Forgot to post a review - it's alright, a bit nonsensey in places, and lots of gaping flaws, but for had-a-few-beers entertainment its good fun, and scarlet johannsen makes it all worthwhile, even if she is better in more intelligent roles :drool: :up:

    Well, just things like the way when they get out into the desert there's nothing all around, yet when people are taken to get their organs or babies or whatever there's a gleaming building for them, even though its supposedly the same point - it was 6 months back, and I can't remember many details, but I do remember mentally shredding it :rolleyes: :lol:

    I'd have liked to see more plot and discussion about the theoretical ethics of it, rather than lots of trucks exploding, but I was sober, and reckon it would have been a lot better with a 4 pack :up:

    It was quite good although the hovercraft/car/lorry type chase made me cringe lots.
