    Gotham

    Awesome all the work they put into the first season is starting to bear fruit. I don't think Penguin appeared once in Episode 2, and I didn't really miss him. That is a good sign. I like the little touches (burtenesque) like the Reporters hair style near the end of the show. I just...

    Heroes Reborn

    Some of you guys watched season 3 and 4 of Heroes. Man that is some scary stuff. Halfway through season 2 and I was out....

    Warhammer 40,000 Novels

    Been a while since I read Prospero Burns. But now that you mentioned it I do remember it jumping around a fair bit. My understanding is that the Authors get limited time to pump these novels out, and that really can impact the story telling as it did for this book. Maybe I have fonder...

    Gotham

    I was pretty disappointed in the Fish character, like so many people it seems. Right idea, I thought, just the wrong characterization in the end. Anyways Season 2, great start, very much looking forward to this season. Batman is not your normal type of guy (duh) so Bruce as a 13year old...

    Warhammer 40,000 Novels

    Yeah A Thousand Sons was great, I didn't mind Prospero Burns. Needed more time for the Author to develop it, but it was not the typical Wolves book which is so predictable. (This is the one with the Skald yeah ?) I feel our relationship ended before it even begun

    Warhammer 40,000 Novels

    Yeah Scars, Prospero Burns and Fulgrim have been the Diamonds in this series for me so far.

    Warhammer 40,000 Novels

    My interest in this series has fluctuated over the years. I can't believe this series started in 2006/2007 ! Of the more semi-recent books... Betrayer (I have not read this is it a good one?) Angel Exterminatus I found was ok-ish. Vulkan lives. I made it through the first 50 pages...

    DC Universe Animated Movies

    They really should develop the characters more, instead of splintering them into "what if" type movies imo. Gods and Monsters is an average watch I thought. I would not mind a movie based around lesser known characters instead of some spin around the Justice League.

    The Good Dinosaur (Pixar)

    I will give this go based on the reputation that Pixar have, but this and Inside Out are not speaking to me like previous movie trailers they have done..

    iZombie

    I kind of liked the boyfriend as well, that was a rather surprising turn of events. I suppose the ex does have a more interesting story line. But if you have sex with a Zombie does that mean you become a Zombie, the exchange of bodily fluids I assume ?

    Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015)

    The church scene was the best action scene I have seen for years, really liked the characters and more importantly they treated the characters well in the movie. A nice surprise it was worth the watch.

    Jupiter Ascending (2015)

    Wow what a missed opportunity that movie was. The movie seemed to have taken ideas from Dune/MIB/Hitch Hikers and then just failed at executing that. Not as bad as BC 10,000 though, which this movie reminded me of as it was also a missed opportunity and tried to merge several other movies...

    iZombie

    For me, this show just keeps getting better and better. Loving the characters, and the fact they have kept it pretty simple so far. I see the upcoming love triange (\groan). And they are keeping everything quite modern. This week being the MMORPG and forever alone troll. Besides Game...

    Avengers: Age of Ultron

    Worth the watch for sure, I thought there was at least 1 WTF moment but nothing is perfect. Pretty hard to bring a movie like that together with so many leads, but all in all a good job. The trailer was only a 2 min wait if that, and I was too tired to hang around in case there was a second...

    Fantastic Four

    I will see it, but with low expectations. Just can not be as bad as the last one....

    What We Do in the Shadows (2014)

    This was freaking hilarious, glad it got posted here otherwise I would of missed it.

    X-Men: Days of Future Past.

    The Sentinels being so advanced is the major plot in the movie, I don't know how you missed that... Go back in time to stop mystique from being captured and providing the reason to flag the Sentinel program. As part of that Mystique is dissected and the secrets of her morphing are ported...

    Spectre (2015)

    I don't need a deeper character, I don't need Bond to be humanized and I don't need to know he was not loved by his daddy. The first 5 to 10 mins of Casino Royale is all I need. A sophisticated gentleman who appreciates the finer things in life. And when required is an absolute brutal...

    Spectre (2015)

    Yeah, let me clear that up. The vibe I got was that this movie would indeed have a personal story to tell. And that to me is a negative. Personally, I think the best bond movies are the ones with interesting larger than life villians. Of which the unwinding of whatever scheme they have is...

    Spectre (2015)

    Well the makers have a lot of work to do to convince me to pay for this after skyfall. This being about S.P.E.C.T.R.E is a big plus, but I can't help feeling the best bond movies are the ones that did not have a personal story to also tell about James Bond. Which is the vibe I got from that...

    Seventh Son

    It would of been better if the movie started with the apprentice coming to the end of his 10 years, instead of starting him at day 1, which was the easy option and it just made that part of the movie filler. A 5 out of 10 from me, and wtf with the stupid voice by Bridges.

    John Wick (2014)

    Taken 1 was released 2008 there has been Judge Dredd (2012) you thought this was better than that ?

    DC Universe Animated Movies

    I agree Vvoid, decent but that was about it. I really don't like how they have transformed the Green Lantern character into Ryan Reynolds, he is so fucking annoying now. I liked the Green Lantern from the T.V series: Justice League: Unlimited.

    John Wick (2014)

    Not farming for negs at all. When you watch Taken 1 there is an expected awesomeness that radiates from the main character. In this movie he just kills another dude in a suit or whatever. The only one who got one up on John, hit him with the car and at the night club did John kill him or...

    John Wick (2014)

    Pretty average movie and that is a compliment. Nobody in the movie really matters, and they mainly meet rather pointless ends. Perkins is a great example of that. One or two ok moments, but this has the depth and engagement of a Michael Bay movie. Not really getting the positive posts...

    [NO Spoilers] Star Wars: Episode 7 - NO PUSSY SHIT

    On the sole basis of profit movies like SW 1,2,3 and the Transformer series are seriously high quality movies.

    Gotham

    Yes that is what I would like to see as well. Penguin has started out as a scheming pleb, the riddler is currently an obsessed forensics field agent with zero social skills, who is developing a morbid side. And with two-face they kind of jumped the gun a bit. Personally, I would of liked...

    The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

    I remember the maker of District 9 saying in an interview that because he had a background in CGI he knew what to ask for in the way of special effects in order to keep costs down. But if you have an open cheque book why bother I suppose. I still believe having restrictions/parameters...

    Dracula Untold

    Pretty much this. I am going to struggle to remember what this was about in a month.

    Fantastic Four

    Maybe the makers are just trolling us. Considering how much these things cost to make, can you really be that stupid to do some of the stuff being talked about (ignoring the mandarin in IM3, and the whole of IM3 I suppose).

    Gotham

    You guys are hard asses on Fish. I don't mind her but like the rest of the criminal gang elements they are just there to get killed by the A grade Villains. On another note, I like how Riddler is developing.

    Gotham

    Well there are several variations in the comics about Gordon, and the time between T.V series can be more than a year as well. This is how I see the T.V series panning out.... I can see him slowly chipping away at the police force, dismantling the overt mob corruption. Then cells within the...

    Constantine

    I always give Pilots some leverage, there was enough in this one to get me interested in watching another few episodes. Not great but good enough.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    I certainly hope they do not kill any characters, be they heroes or villain. That is the kind of story development I would expect in a popcorn movie like the Transformers or Charlies Angels. Which the Avenger movie has not been thank god. I think the old batman movies showed that you can...

    X-Men: Days of Future Past.

    Only X3 was not worth watching before. I really don't get the hate for X1 and X2, anyways with the retcon the makers can explore the option of having other characters getting more screen time (not that they will with Wolverine being so popular).

    The Strain

    After watching Episode 11, I am hoping for an Epic episode 13 which will inject some new life into the series. This would involve pretty much killing everyone, except the Latino guy with the awesome body, the Rat Catcher and maybe the kid. They really need a new main character to anchor...

    The Strain

    Very few positives now in this series:- Rat Catcher guy The Vampire Mythos The ninja Vampires Old Jewish guy (is okish). Latino Criminal. The fact someone mentioned that there are only 13 episodes. I pretty much want just about everyone else to die, Ephraim should be first. And the...

    Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

    Well worth watching at the cinema (speaking as someone who has no knowledge of gotg), my only gripes are:-

    DC Universe Animated Movies

    These DC animations are getting more and more violent, which is a good thing. So I enjoyed this. But it is kind of hard to adjust to seeing Heroes/Villains actually die, but I suppose every one of these is a different universe or something. I have to agree with the main gripe above, with...

    Deadpool (2016)

    Same here. The quality of CGI is hitting some amazing levels, the recent Appleseed Alpha movie for example.
