T2 is a masterpiece of everything you want in an action movie, special effects are outstanding and still put most modern CGI to shame, the Action is good, again puts most films since to shame, T2 is a benchmark in action/sci-fi that not many films since have beaten.

Although my view is based completely on the directors cut which is far better than the theatrical cut and makes more sense.

Overdid the sleeping pills, I thought.

He'd probably had a wank too, mind. The mucky pup

tried to see this the other day, but second born decided at the last minute it would be too frightening. he then had to sit next to his mother singing along to mama mia instead. i don't think he thought it through properly.

Schoolboy error

Had the right amount of sleeping pills... followed the directions, but the sleeping pills were so strong that he suffocated in his own pillow...

In civilised nations, Johnny, 9/11 is in November, as is 5/11.

The Americans, bless them, put the month first so they would understand your post to mean that you bought your house on the 11th of May, which is several months before September 11th, the date of the New York mishap. Your post will be confusing to Americans.

Please remedy this at your earliest convenience.

Thanks for explaining this to us primates over here... johnny's post did have me scratching my 'ead...

My goodness why on earth did i put 5/11 ? As you said Colin that would read May 11th to those kerazy Americans and, the correct way, 5th November to us civil Brits.Neither of which was the date i bought the house.So to clarify and confirm, i bought the house on 5th September 2001

It's got great, groundbreaking (at the time) special effects, I'll grant you, but the plot was nothing great. Just the same old time travel paradox BS I've seen a million times beofre. In terms of the story, T1 was better.

i thought T2 was amazing, or was that the mushrooms and 11 skinner spliffs?

So good.

Caught a show early Last week. Likely going to catch it in !IMAX later this week..

can't wait. Refuse to see Films during the day and as it's 2 1/2 hrs. the 10p show gets you back out into the City close to 1a which is a kick.

I always thought a New Order song would be a great selection to go on a Batman soundtrack, something original. When I was in film school, in marketing class, I designed a poster for the Dark Night (from the Frank Miller graphic novel) and listed them as "music by new order". By the way this was before the first movie came out around '86 or '87 somewhere between Brotherhood and Lowlife.

Christian Bale was born in Wales. That makes him Welsh in my book.

The new Terminator film looks great from the trailor. If you dont think so, then youre probably not really a fan of that franchise.

The new batmobile looks great apart from the front 2 wheels which just kinda stick out and look silly.

I might have to take back everything I said about McG and the Charlies Angels,this looks shit-hot!

Outstanding movie. Have seen it two times, and I'm seriously considering giving it a third go. Perhaps the best ever Batman movie, even better than Batman Returns (1992), my favourite one so far.

Make no mistake, this film is really dark at some points. I won't spoil anything, but it's certainly very detached from the typical "super hero" thing. It has some heavy 70s police movie feel like The French Connection & others.

Brilliant stuff, for once the hype has been justified.If not surpassed.

Best Comic Book film since X-Men 2 for me.

awwwwwwwwwwwright! nice trailer.

I really liked it, didn't think it was too long at all, and the performances were fabulous. Maggie G. is a million times better Rachel than Katie "Dead Fish" Holmes. However, it could have used a lot more Batman and a wee bit less Joker.

So, you put both of those movies ahead of Batman Begins? I've still not seen this movie. I'm chomping at the bit, but it is rather low on my wife's priority list. Argh!

I put X-men 2 leaps and bounds above Batman begins, and the Dark knight is just better,

Just came back from the theater. If you haven't seen it yet, this is one to go see. I go to theaters about once every two years and usually come back happy... but this movie was simply amazing. I haven't seen Hollywood put out a decent movie, without being able to think, "well, that's Hollywood for you." This truely is a movie that surpasses anything in the last (at least) 10 years.

A couple beefs with it -Wish it told a bit more about the build up of Gotham after 'Begins". -The James Bond/Q moment in the movie was a bit cheesy -Did anyone else have problems hearing the last thing Gordan said to his son? The music drowned out everything he said... kinda sounded like a bad cell phone call.

I can't say enough about Ledger's performance... I think he blew every actor in Hollywood out of the water with that... a shame he died, don't know how anyone can meet that performance in a sequel.
