I've had this film recommended to me far too many times to count, but have always found an excuse to put off watch it - I've got exams coming up I must revise for, I'm going out tonight and need to get ready, I don't have the money to spend on DVDs at the moment. However, I found this in Woolworths for £8 a few days back, and having no other plans to keep me occupied I decided to buy it and finally see what all the fuss was about.

The story follows Tristan (the result of a one night stand his father had with a inprisoned princess he met across the wall), who, in attempt to capture the heart of the girl he thinks he's in love with, promises to cross the wall to find a fallen star and bring it back to her before her birthday (time ...

People are all too quick to judge sequals, and I was taken by surprise by NT2, which I thought was amazing. The plot was well thought out, not thin or over the top as some other ratings say. I suppose that your opinion is all to do with your nature and what films you prefer, I'm not saying everyone who hates it is wrong to not like it, but personally, I loved it and would reccommend it to everybody, both adults and children. Yes, the plot is relatively the same and on a bigger scale, but aren't movies supposed to excite? Sometimes we judge movies too much on real life, so if you want an exciting movie that won't let you sit back off the edge of your seat, then this is the movie for you!

The credits are still rolling but I had to get this review in!

After watching the painful BBC version this is brilliant by comparison. Please don't buy the BBC one, get this instead. I can't fault it! It is just like the image of narnia in my head. Very believeable, great characters, great battle scenes. I cringed all the way through the BBC version but this was a delight to watch.

Can't wait for Prince Caspian now!

What a load of crap. Appalling camerawork, zero storyline, uninteresting characters, stupid ending (and the film is only an hour and a quarter long). What cretin thought this up? And I'm absolutely amazed that a film company actually decided to do this film! The only redeeming feature were the special effects. Other than that..... zzzzzzzzzz.

This movie is worth buying for the amazing special effects and for the stunning scenes of post-apocalyptic New York. Will Smith puts in a solid performance as (almost) sole survivor of the 'zombie' plague, ably supported by his canine co-star. The first hour or so of the movie is fast-paced and dramatic as the story unfolds. Unfortunately, it then moves down a gear or so, loses its way, and almost peters out with a most unsatisfactory and unresolved ending. A missed opportunity, as a little further development of the story would have made such a difference.

Not much to add to the other reviews, than to say this far exceeded my expectations. Stallone may be getting on in years but manages to put in a performance worthy of someone half his age. The action is frightenly brutal, though not altogether realistic. And the characters remind me of some of the best 80's style cliches available. Great film and a fanastic addition to the Rambo series.

When you look at the intelligence and the quality of the first Season and the pace and the depth of the second, what was missing was the dark and gritty side and Season 3 has that in all 13 episodes. It is more dark, we see the violent side of Michael Scofield and the emotional side instead of his clam persona. The setting is scary, brutal and an image of hell. Sona is without a doubt, the scariest prison you will ever come across. The inmates run the yard, people die and nobody comes out alive. The writers were really clever with Sona, it is the setting that we get to see Michael's different side. The side where he is not only brains but aggressive. I think the star of the 3rd Season is Alex Mahone's character. He has become more important as the show goes on and the newfound respect ... Read More:

Great special effects, but not a very good story, looks like it was trying to prop up the poor storyline with the special effets and the actors.
In all a disappointing movie.

I loved the first Bourne film.But not this one.The storyline has got more ridiculous and the stunts plain silly as the producers try to make the action better.The dvd box says the Bourne Ultimatum is better than James Bond.The last bond film - casino royale - had better ( more dramatic) stunts and a more convincing storyline with superior acting and was one of the best action films ever made.Bourne Ultimatum isn't Bond.It isn't even Bourne.That had subtlety, credibility,unpredictability, an original storyline and original music,and likeable characters that had the chance to act properly.In Bourne Ultimatum the CIA computer operatives and their computer screens get so much airtime that the machines may as well be actors.The two main female characters gave the Bourne Ultimatum a little class (Stiles ...
