Nope, i'm still waiting

Hmmm it seems the usually overly-critical Entertainment.ie have seen it fit to give the movie 5 stars. I can't think of the last time that site gave a film full marks.

A not so flattering review here:

Contains Spoilers.

to quote the earlier entertainment.ie review i don't think that reviewer 'got it'.

I thought the graphic novel was a thought provoking piece and to me possibly the best comic/graphic novel (a graphic novel is at its most basic a defined issue of a comic).

whoops i've strayed into that which i dislike which is commenting on that which i havent seen(next thing you know ill be joining the anti-daily mail - if there is one).

but i feel comfortable in knowing the graphic novel and seeing how the trailer is pretty faithful and other reviews that this review must be wrong. if it isnt i, well i guess i'll offer up some sort of forfeit. anyone willing to take on the other side of that forfeit, lets go

bwaa ha ha ha ha .

oh thats brilliant. the poor sod completly missed the point. i love the way he mentions nixon still being president as the jumping on point of being in an alternate 1985.

he mustve missed the whole america losing viet nam thing

clearly the bloke was expecting "x men", if memory serves the team never did have a name revealed to us. "masks" was just a term of reference to any crimefighter.

pixelburp · 01-03-2009 5:46pm

Haha, well it seems I have a litle email informing me I have won the competition; now this is very surprising given that I have no lucking in winning any of these things. Well aren't I chuffed hehe.

de5p0i1er · 01-03-2009 5:56pm

I won 2 tickets of Movies.ie, I might have 1 to spare, if so I'll give it to another boardsie.

robgordon · 02-03-2009 1:53pm

Awwwwwe I want tickets now! Is anywhere else doing them?
Don't use Movies.ie as they don't review films.

Seems like its just propaganda for whatever is out that week, whenever I've look at their site - which, admittedly isn't much

faceman · 02-03-2009 2:56pm

Yay I won!

sammyv · 02-03-2009 3:46pm

Is Ironman going to be in this film, because some of the trailers show Robert Downey junior???

OMG ! seriously man, google it !

speedboatchase · 02-03-2009 4:34pm

It's Jeffrey Dean Morgan from Greys Anatomy, just a strong resemblance dude

EDIT - Woah you mean the actual character of Iron Man?! NO, NO NO!

sammyv · 02-03-2009 4:35pm

Jeffrey Dean Morgan - spit of Robert Downey Junior.

Holy crap, im mad i even asked the question now!!!

sammyv · 02-03-2009 4:37pm

I love watching all comic hero films, im just not an expert.

Last i heard, there was going to be a film with Ironman and a few others in it..league of something.

BopNiblets · 02-03-2009 5:48pm

Justice League! Wait no.... you're thinking of The Avengers dude.

I didn't get an email or tickets, I CALL SHENANIGANS! Where's mah tickets?!
Clearly I deserve to win and this is a gross oversight on Movies.ie part.

Wacker · 02-03-2009 11:55pm

I got 'em. Sweet! Wednesday evening is going to rock. Expect spoilers a'plenty, suckers!!! I'll post spoilers in every single thread on boards.ie, just to be sure I get you all.

Actually, seeing as I've read The Watchmen four times, I might just do that now anyway! :pac:

ferrerofilms · 03-03-2009 10:15am

Samuel L.Jackson is Nick Fury in the Justice movie. cant wait for Watchmen tho!

ghouldaddy07 · 03-03-2009 4:34pm
