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

    Depends on the weapon and whether the good guy was a dwarf. Everyone knows dorfs > all in a scrap. A friend of mine used to explain the Hobbit's progression through the movies from the Middle Earth RPG perspective. In that game you receive exp for doing everything for the first time...

    The Flash

    I can't claim to being a fan in any sense of Green Arrow but I loved the way they expressed his total hatred of Superman in the Dark Knight Returns. The guy only has one arm and yet he's hanging upside by his legs while he draws back the bowstring with his teeth...

    The Flash

    The Flash I predominantly read was Wally West to be fair but from what I have read of Barry Allen and seen on the various DC movies I feel that, while he doesn't necessarily possess the right physique, he does capture the excitable, wise-cracking nature and haunted, serious aspects of the comic...

    Dredd 2 (2026 Confirmed!)

    If I didn't already have the 3D Blu-Ray I'd be all over that for the UltraViolet. Is there anywhere that lists UV Blu-Rays? The search function on Amazon is particularly useless unless I want to buy that forgettable crap with Milla in.

    The Flash

    I have to admit to seeing Batman in these episodes way too much. I thought he was on the comic Barry found in his red and yellow (nice touch!) backpack but on closer scrutiny (12.07) it turned out to be Space Ghost. Although, I'll take a Hanna Barbera cartoon turned DC hero as well!

    The Flash

    I did like the point where Heat Wave commented on the fact Snart had suggested he learn every element of the heat gun. So, regardless of the weapons being returned to Cisco they now presumably know how to produce new weapons for themselves.

    I'm also in the UK. I'd suggest usingTheDareTV.

    Avengers: Age of Ultron

    So four Iron Man toys to everyone else's one. Is it just a case of RDJ having a better agent than everyone else because presumably this reflects to some extent just how much screentime he is going to have compared to the rest of the Avengers. Hopefully it'll not be as blatant as X-Men 3 aka...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Completely off topic but... urgh! The older I get the faster the years vanish.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I'm somewhat torn on that announcement. While, yes, I think Lucas has long since run out of whatever magic he had when making the first trilogy (okay... New Hope and Empire) I really don't think JJ is going to take us back to our childhood with anything remotely like the wonder of Star Wars...

    EQ Never

    Whenever I see the odd gameplay video for this game I'm reminded way more of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning than I am of anything remotely resembling Everquest. I'm thinking that's probably a bad thing regardless of how much I enjoyed KoA:R.

    Only me who hears the Doobie Brothers at 0.48? Anyway, I'll see your Rock Who and raise you creepy yet fit Twin Sister Harp Action Who.

    Really enjoyed this episode, series keeps going from strength to strength.

    John Wick (2014)

    I think I need to watch both again. I was full of cold and grouchy when I watched John Wick so probably being a little hard on it. I will say about The Equalizer that I preferred the main character. Everything from his OCD counting to his flourish for killing people with everyday objects. I...

    John Wick (2014)

    Did none of you rate The Equalizer then?

    John Wick (2014)

    Agree wholeheartedly. I remember watching it and thinking the action movie had turned a corner. Sure, every uninspired movie has reused the 'hanging-in-the-air-kick' idea till we're all sick of seeing it but the first time I saw that movie I was floored. I went back the next day and watched...

    Dredd 2 (2026 Confirmed!)

    The guy in the Day of the Triffids is conscious though, just temporarily blind. He hears all the drama unfold around him so he has a point of reference when he regains his vision. Unlike the guy in 28 Days Later who wakes up to an empty London and is oblivious to the danger he's in, much the...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Did they remove the requirement to have cleared T5 to be able to buy the Allagan weapons Pyros?

    DC Universe Animated Movies

    Here you go. Also, just finished watching the Aquaman movie. I enjoyed it. Not quite sure why Shazam wore a mask underwater though.

    Avengers: Age of Ultron

    Cap isn't bulletproof nor does he possess some inherent danger sense. All it would take is a sniper and it's goodnight Red, White, and Blue. Obviously it suits their purposes for him to be more than the the sum of his parts when the plot demands it considering what he represents but the sad...

    Avengers: Age of Ultron

    We have Captain Britain so to be fair we're pretty much covered. Fuck that shield-wielding poster boy!

    Avengers: Age of Ultron

    I think part of the problem is Chris Evans. He still comes across as a twenty-something GI not a battle-hardened veteran. The point you made about the team respecting Cap is a very valid one. What is it based on exactly? He led some daring raids during WWII and then was on ice for decades...

    Avengers: Age of Ultron

    Yeah, I hastily typed that post out but that's the crux of what I was getting at. Kind of hard to respect, or be excited about, the input of the other Avengers when you have an Asgardian god and, well, the motherfucking Hulk.

    The Flash

    Hmmm that might have been it. I'll watch the episode again later to check but that link seems pretty unanimous.

    Avengers: Age of Ultron

    I keep hearing how Hawkeye plays a significant part in this movie and wonder exactly how that'll play out. I mean, the previous one was really a Thor/Hulk buddy movie with Stark there for comedic value, Cap for heroic profile "America fuck yeah!", and the rest to escort people on to buses...

    The Flash

    I may have dreamed it but I'm fairly sure I remember Batman being referenced to by Joe West in the Arrow crossover episode. Something along the lines of, "Central City doesn't need a vigilante (Arrow) here like that guy in Gotham".

    Doctor Who

    Rather than looking at what could have been I often find myself wondering what might be in the future for the show. I know there's the whole female Doctor discussion doing the rounds but one I don't hear is, "Why not a non-Anglo Doctor?" I'm a Brit and I must admit I'd struggle with a...

    Sylvester McCoy Syndrome. Lest we forget those dark days.

    The Flash

    Wasn't he just given it by Barry? They requested the tech from that female scientist who initially resisted until Barry threatened to leak her secrets. Was the appearance of Reverse Flash in this episode there purely to make Barry nervous and desperate enough to secure that tech by whatever...

    The Flash

    So, let me understand this. Dr Wells is Eddie Thawne's descendant. He has placed the time-travel device in storage knowing that his younger future self will find it somehow and that he'll eventually use it to transport himself back through time where he'll set up a lab which will eventually...

    The Flash

    I'm guessing a bunch of those people are missing presumed dead which will allow for them to make appearances later on. Guessing Blackout isn't dead either. Otherwise why bother putting a corpse in a cell rather than just extract what you need from it and incinerate it before it starts to...

    The Flash

    Not sure if you've seen Flashpoint Paradox but Zoom certainly wanted to kill the Flash in that... after making his life a living Hell. He's even happy to die himself if it ensures the Flash dies as well.

    The Flash

    What I don't understand is why Wells wants to nurture him into becoming a fully-developed Flash. Surely it would be in his best interests to just go back and off Barry Allen and then get on with his own superspeed rampage or is it the old, "I want you to suffer before you die and know I'm...

    The Flash

    The scene with Grodd was set 5 years in the past if I recall. Presumably he only gained his heightened intellect as a result of the explosion. Assuming back then he'd been experimented on but was still nothing beyond a smart gorilla.

    Doctor Who

    Hopefully not Madame Vastra and co. I have a hunch it may be Miranda Hart. She recently announced she is winding up her sitcom so she'll have plenty of free time. Additionally, she can do no wrong with the BBC or middle-class UK and there's already been a precedent set by Catherine Tate for...

    Doctor Who

    Well, that was a whole load of arse. Can't even draw comfort from the expectation of a decent Christmas Special as that looks a complete bag of shite as well.

    Doctor Who

    While it's nothing new, I'm confused. Prior to the Tennant Master finale we were led to believe Gallifrey was trapped in a time-bubble and the Doctor was responsible. This presumably is the reason Rassilon and his cohorts were able to engineer an escape, ie they weren't ash. Then we had the...

    Doctor Who

    I get that the Master has a magnificent intellect, on par with, if not greater than, the Doctor. What I can't accept is he/she somehow managed to work out a way to escape from a time-locked Gallifrey when an entire planet of Time Lords couldn't fathom out how to.

    Doctor Who

    Amen to that. While I enjoyed Tennant for the most part, and all of the others in their own way, there is only one Doctor as far as I'm concerned. With regards to the show, I'm concerned that Moffat will prolong his overstayed tenure by dangling a female Doctor carrot at the BBC. He's...
