Ah, now I see. I was wondering why Empire would call a thread "No"...That's a bit negative, I thought...

The best part... or should I say only part? Well, anyway, the part worth mentioning is the little David Bowie Golden Years tribute. I absolutely love that song

Plus, Paul Bettany was great - he definitely has a way with words and it demonstrated his burgeoning acting talents, even if it's a teenage disaster movie. 13 year old dig this stuff - let 'em have it!

But I'm 16 and I happen to love it...just more proof that I'm regressing to childhood under the pressure of impending exams

(I've started playing with dinosaurs again too. I think I need help.)

Yes, it's a bit of fluff, but it's a fun bit of fluff. Not all films can be intellectually challenging comments on today's society, and quite frankly cinema would be incredibly boring if they were.

Plus all the main characters are British, which makes a nice change

This is why they've created Snakes. On. A. Plane.

I found the film mildly enjoyable but nothing startling, but I do know quite a few people who absolutely love it. I think Paul Bettany was excellent in it and kind of saved the film a little for me.

I think it's a great film for switching your brain off to. It's quite unapologetic in it's style and it does have a good story backing up all the jousting. Plus, Alan Tudyk's accent is pretty awful and worth hearing!

Why does no one appreciate this movie? It's a total and utter enjoyable expirience. I loved this movie: Ledger was amazing, and a totally flexible character, Bettany and Tudyk were the greatest of entertainers: We need Bettany to entertain us during the ad breaks.
