Autumn review round-up: some duds, some gems, and a couple of shrugs
Autumn review round-up: some duds, some gems, and a couple of shrugs
Jun 01
It’s winter again. I can tell because I have a cold, my cats look more woolly than your average sheep, and it’s starting to rain every time I go to put the washing out. That can mean only one thing: the dreary cinematic graveyard season of autumn is finally passing. And what a mixed season it was!
Autumn heralded some of the most (and some of the least) anticipated flicks of the year. We got Iron Man 2, Robin Hood, Prince Of Persia, and Kick-Ass, we got some reboots in the form of A Nightmare On Elm Street and Alice In Wonderland, and we got a slew of new and original flicks, like The Blind Side, She’s Out Of My League, Beneath Hill 60. We also got the usual mix of good and bad flicks, with a few great ones here and there.
Here’s a rundown of the films we reviewed this season, organised from lowest score to highest:
A Nightmare On Elm Street – 02 / 100
Green Zone – 08 / 100
The Prince Of Persia: Sands Of Time – 36 / 100
Alice In Wonderland – 39 / 100
Cop Out – 48 / 100
Hot Tub Time Machine - 53 / 100
Clash Of The Titans – 68 / 100
The Blind Side – 71 / 100
Iron Man 2 – 71 – 100
The Book Of Eli – 71 / 100
Kick-Ass – 73 / 100
She’s Out Of My League – 73 / 100
Beneath Hill 60 – 76 / 100
Crazy Heart – 89 / 100
Robin Hood - 96 / 100

And just in case you missed it, here’s our summer review round-up.
Wow 96 for Robin Hood? Ill need to read your review cause that was TERRIBLE. I cant remember the last time i walked out of a film and Robin Hood re-poped that cherry. NINETY SIX?!! It should be nestled in comfortably between POP and Alice in Wonderland.
Yeah it's copped a hiding from critics as well. No idea why I loved it and every other person in the universe hated it. Wait a minute didn't you like Transformers? Don't you judge on me!
Haha i enjoyed it, would give it a 6/10 which is reasonable (were talking about the first one right?). Fair enough ill give you Robin Hood when you stop judging me for Dead Mans Chestickles :)
Yeah I didn't mind DMC; the kraken and the rolling ball and stuff saved it for me, I'd similarly give it 6/10. Deal?
