Good to be Here

Witty, action-packed, and a brilliant showcase for British cinema??? you have got 2 be kidding me.

OK.. in my opinion,the review above is misleading,i mean maybe the person who saw this movie really liked it,but 2 look at it from a overall view,this is a movie that should never have hit the cinema,it should just have been released straight to DVD/WHS.for starters the acting is awful,Ewan McGregor delivers as usual good acting,but he ain't in the movie for that long.Alicia Silverstone delivers an OK performance,but it seems like shes been away from acting for way 2 long.Alex Pettyfer delivers quite good performance,and i would agree that he could have a decent shot of becoming a good actor in the future.Mickey Rourke is old... hes old but still one of the coolest actors,i do believe that no one could play the bad guy as he does in this movie,but that doesn't save this movie sadly.when you look at this movie from a standard now a days,the animations are awful they don't feel realistic,i know this is a family movie,but at least they could have made the effects better,it ain't that dam expensive 2 do.if you have seen the Harry Potter movies,and loved em like i did,from an adult view,don't bother wasting you money on the cinema for this movie,your just gonna feel disappointed,an think "was that it??" wait for the next harry potter or Point Blanc! and hope they have gotten a better cast,and have learned from they first mistake.

i cant really stop thinking "was the person who wrote the first review,payed for saying such good things about this movie??,this movie almost is just as shitty,as the Keanu Reeves movie The Watcher". witch reminds me,newer 2 buy a DVD before actually have seen the movie.
