You forgot one of the best things in the film - Rosanna Arquette!

Interesting.
I've honestly never heard of anyone that could rate any of the sequels above the original.
Hey, each to their own

Elysium. Not as good as District 9, but still good.

The Bling Ring
Was okay, didn't like any of the characters, knew the ending (from real life), basically spent most of the movie waiting for that moment when they get caught.
5/10.
Emma Watson is cute though !

Finally watched pain and gain 4/10 - Actors were unsure if it was a dark comedy or a action hiest movie and you end up with the rock playing it for laughs and Marky Mark playing it straight. Combine that with Michael Bays annoying cutting technique and you end up with a pretty meh film.
I don't know about the rest of you but 2013 has been a real year of 'Meh' for me I struggle to think of anything note worthy that wasn't part of the oscar lineup

Every one except Godzilla.
Ah, I love Reno in Godzilla. The piece where they're trying to get past a checkpoint a he does his Elvis impression is hilarious. "Elvis Presley. He was the king."
Also, the oft-quoted (in my house, at least) "Running would be good!".

What about Bob?
both excellent films from the late 80s and early 90s really like Richard Dreyfuss in both films as well as Bill Murray in What about Bob.

Four of us shot off to Cinema last night for Riddick!
The Cinema was almost empty which we originally took as a bad sign but it turns out the film wasn't bad
Crazy Guns and Technology plus Killing and Monsters, Oh and some boobies I was kinda hoping he got to see his home world Furya but oh well
All in all we liked it but it is not a as good on the other two films in my opinion.
Man of Honour
Riddick is definitely a decent action flick with cool gadgets and alien animals. As I mentioned earlier the Cineworld screen at o2 was full up and everything seemed to enjoy it.

For those who think The Rock and Bad boys are good films... have you seen them recently?
I liked Bad Boys when I watched it as a kid, I haven't actually seen it in probably 15+ years, decided to watch it... it's pretty terrible as yet and I'm only half way through. Martin Lawrence is both not at all funny in any way shape or form and a truly awful actor. He plays basically a retard, he's completely unbelievable as an actor, the captain is awful(in this).
He actually said just now "I sent you to get a witness, not to shoot up a neighbourhood, not to DO another dead body". At the same time playing basketball, being the white guy can't shoot hoops while. While Lawrence does his best impression of a terrible gangster talking like an idiot.
Smith is okay in it, he doesn't overplay it, he actually tries to act to a degree and the timing of some of his one liners is okay. But the dialogue, acting and most of the action is abysmal. It isn't a good film, I thought it was when I was a kid but it's not even a little bit good, it's mostly awful.
The Rock is the same thing, as a kid I loved it, not watched it for 15+ years, see it, it's cringe worthy scene after cringe worthy scene. The car chase is awful, the music and camera work is the same as in transformers. The acting is WAY WAY overdown, so much of the dialogue is laughable and most of the actors/acting is terrible. Cage and Connery play their roles fairly well. The story itself isn't awful but it's pretty painful to watch these days.
To sum up, Bay hasn't done any good films, I would guess people who hate Transformers and anything else he's done in the past 15 years would think pretty poorly of Rock/Bad Boys if they rewatch them today.
It really is classic Bay, there is nothing intelligent or well done in any of the films, all his films are writen for teenagers, young teenagers at that. It's like Bay is an ackward teenager so that is how he has half/most of the lead actors play their roles.
