| Re: What was the last movie you saw? WALL-E. Saw it with my grandkids. Fascinating for both adults and kids. Beautifully conceived and displayed. We learned all over again that cockroaches are one of the planet's most resilient creatures and that Twinkies have a half-life of about 1000 years. We also were shown that humankind can pretty much mess anything up, but that there may be hope for us in spite of ourselves. |

| Re: What was the last movie you saw? I watched I Am Legend on Saturday night. I wasn't expecting a great film, but I quite enjoyed it. It's been some time since I read the book, so I can't speak for the accuracy of the translation, but I thought the film was very effective. Some great shots of an empty New York, and Will Smith did a solid job of the last man on earth going slowly insane. The effects on the 'vampires' were the biggest letdown. I think a film like 28 Days Later shows just how successful makeup on live-action actors can be in that situation, so to fall back to CGI, and less than convincing CGI at that, was a bit unnecessary. |

| Re: What was the last movie you saw? I agrree to some degree about I am legend, the cgi vampires were a bit of a let down. Overall a good film a rather good performance from Will Smith, whom overall I do like generally. I wasted 90 odd minutes of my life watching the third Pirates of the Cariibean film, did not take ot it, there were some attempts at doing something different which i felt fell flat. Naff performances a ridculously awful script far too long wold have been a good film at half the length had they cut out Orlando and whatever her name was!  |

| Re: What was the last movie you saw? That's the one - we must have been drunk when we thought the trailer looked good, they must have showed the only action bits in the entire film - or just made some up  It felt like it was 8 hours long.. and nothing happened, the monkey stole the show |

| Re: What was the last movie you saw? Hancock Was very different to what I thought it was going to be - more subtle in many areas than a normal US hero based film. I liked it and Will did well, like in I am Legend, with a (slightly) more serious role than he is usually seen in! |

He has been nominated for oscars twice for drama movies  I will see the movie when it premiere here next week cause Will Smith always entertains no matter what kind of movie. I dont care for superhero these days. I have avoided Hulk,Wanted like they were the plague cause they dont interest me anymore. | |

| Re: What was the last movie you saw? we have been rather oversaturated in them as of late from Hollywood - there are only a few I will watch galdly - The new Batman is looking good and the first was a good strong film (I might even start to accept Cane as the Butler) - after that I would list this film, slight comedy in it but more serious and not your typical hero film. |

| Re: What was the last movie you saw? Funnily enough, I just watched Batman Begins this morning. It was pretty good! The main reason I watched it is in anticipation of The Dark Knight, which looks like it will be sensational. Wouldn't mind seeing Hancock either. |

| Re: What was the last movie you saw? Thought Hancock was really good. Personally don't think Will Smith get's the credit he deserves. Don't think he's made a bad film in my eyes. And Fresh Prince was awesome And still is. |
