I rented Children of Men this weekend, as well as a couple of other films that I’d missed at the cinema.
While I could bore you to tears by providing a detailed review of the film and Clive Owen’s performance – I won’t.
Clive Owen’s performance was fine, but the script wasn’t.
Michael Caine’s performance was interesting, although his character wasn’t fully developed.
I’d wait until this film is shown on TV ie. DO NOT pay to watch it

Completely disagree with ya on that one. Watched it a few weeks ago and loved it. Solid story, great performances and sfx.
Anthony
Are we talking about the same film?
Michele
I loved it too actually – had a great feel, was well directed and executed – loved it 🙂

Same here, I thought it was a good film and I wish I had seen it in the cinema to get the full impact of the running-battle scenes.
I too have to disagree – I really enjoyed it. Paul, you did miss out, it was fantastic in the cinema.
This was easily one of my favourite films of last year. Some parts of the story were a little off, but that’s what I liked about the movie – without too much expository dialogue, we get a more believable world.
What specifically didn’t you like about it?
I’m going to jump on the bandwagon here also, cracking film.
Michele I suggest you watch it again 🙂

Brian – not going to happen. I was bored with it the first time I saw it.

Maybe if you watch it again in reverse you could erase the time you wasted on it originally AND change your opinion 😉
Genius!
I saw it a few weeks back, and I kind of have to agree with Michele. My problem with it was that it felt as it there was a big lump of the movie missing, and it left me feeling rather, well, unsatisfied.
Ah ok, that I do agree with Keith, that it felt edited to fit into the typical Blockbuster length. It certainly could be a better film and I think a director’s cut might help.
Had it over weekend ,quite enjoyed it, My 2c, avoid wickerman like the plague
It’s crap.
’nuff said.
E.
“Rented” or “downloaded” :p
Yeah, it’s crap. Check out “The Last King of Scotland” – good show.
I loved the book; haven’t seen the film as yet.
Very good movie. Sorry Michele.
I don’t know why people are apologising 🙂
I didn’t like the film. A number of you did.
I think Keith hit the nail on the head – it felt like it was missing something.
