If you are going to base films on books you have to be prepared for comparisons!!! Phoenix is my favourite of the Harry Potter books books but I must admit that this movie is my least favourite.

If you are able to judge it as a stand alone film then its not bad but too much was missed out to make it a convincing adaptation of the 5th novel.

Put it this way it was the first movie of the summer that I couldn't wait for it to end.

There are good performances from the usual cast and the characters of umbridge and bellatrix were perfectly cast, dan radcliffe is getting better with age and will probably go on to be a huge star once the potter films are finished.

Oh well will have to wait and see what they do with half blood prince which is more complex than this one.

My wife and I chose to watch this movie because we wanted to laugh out loud at a film....and laugh out loud we did.

The chemistry between the two leads is fantastic the gags are seamless, they appear like two guys who have been together for years (which of course they are) and all this leads to one of the funniest films I have watched in a long long time.

Yes a lot of the jokes are crude and child like but occasionally that is what is required!! Any one expecting to see a movie with clever sub plots and intricate jokes will probably be disappointed but if you want a two hour escape to action, bloodshed and a lot of laughs this really is a must see.

Timothy Dalton is fantastic as the loathsome retail magnate and the rest of the cast reads like a who's who of British comedy... anyone remotely funny at the moment is in this movie.

A must see!!

In anticipation of watching this latest instalment of the Rocky series my wife and I watched all 5 of the previous films in the week leading up to going to see this one and I'd forgotten how good a character Rocky is.

Obvious thoughts were hes going to be too old to do this but without spoiling the plot it all fits in to place.

Rocky looks older but not too old and we don't actually find out his real age, everything else is there the inspirational training music, the dumb voice, the jealous son, Paulie who as always nearly steals the show and bearing in mind he comes from the city of brotherly love its good to see the community feel brought back with specific characters from Rocky 1.

My opinion on why Talia Shire was left out is that she would have looked far too old!!!!! In Rocky V she was looking decidedly haggered and that was 15 years ago.

I would actually give it 6.5 out of 10 not the best in the series, I like Rocky IV, but definitely better than III and V but its a good watch and a fitting end for a true movie legend.

MY WIFE and I take it in turns to choose which movie to see, this was her choice but I did not complain too much as I had laughed out loud at the trailers and thought it might be amusing.

Thats about as good as it gets... it is amusing but like so many movies these days all the funny parts are in the trailers so the rest of the movie is chick flick padding

THE TWO LEADS HAVE GOOD CHEMISTRY AND DO A GOOD JOB BUT ITS ALL BEEN DONE BEFORE AND BEEN DONE BETTER TO, THE HUMOR CANT DECIDE WHETHER IT WANTS TO BE GROSS OUT OR JUST SUGGESTIVE SO GETS STUCK SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE WITH POTENTIALLY GOOD GAGS FALLING FLAT AS THEY NEEDED AN OLDER CERTIFICATE.

All in all a harmless date movie but definitely a chick flick.

For me this was the must see movie of the year, I love Tom Cruise and a huge fan of the previous two MI's.

I wasn't disappointed MI3 does exactly what you would expect it to.... explosions, guns, fights, disguises, break ins and escapes but we've seen it all before.

There is nothing ground breaking in MI3 however it is still a thoroughly enjoyable movie.

Tom is as good as ever (great to see the smile is still there.... although having Katie Holmes as a g/f must help considerably) ably backed up by Ving Rhames, and the oh so sexy Maggie Q!! The dude from bend it like Beckham is also good!

Overall I was entertained its good but not as good as the first two!
