I saw Snow White and Prometheus yesterday. I thought Prometheus was OK, but wouldn't rush to see it again.

Snow White on the other hand was great, I would strongly recommend it to everyone. Kristen Stewart was fantastic, as always

I saw Snow White on Monday, I thought it was poor.  Too many video game cliches. Scenes copied from LOTR and any other fantasy movie. Spoiler: One of the characters dies and I felt no emotion because the character hadn't been sufficiently established for me to care.

I saw the Expendables 2, it was a bit meh.

It had a great opening scene but then what happened to Jet Li??? Then in comes Liam Hemsworth with a cliche and shoe-horned in emotional story-telling scene but it comes all too soon - we dont know anything about him! At least when Mickey rourke did it in the first film he already had some sceens under his belt by then.

Crews are Couture still do absoluetly feck all in the film and have no character. Statham is side-lined this time and is in a way replaced by the new Chinese woman (who also replaces Jet Li to a degree) although he does have done great fight scene in the style of The Transporter and another with Scott Adkins (Deadpool in Woverine). Dolph is a bit weird in this film, obviously meant to be some sort of comic relief but doesnt really work and his attempts to flirt with the new woman in the team are left unresolved. Chuck Norris is shoe-horned in and unfortuately we don't see him do any karate let alone fight any of the other martial arts stars in the film like JCVD or Li. In fact JCVD only gets one fight scene. There's too many Arnie jokes too although it's nice to see him shooting people again but you can tell he's too fat and out of shape cos of his big coat. Willis is actually kind of annoying in his role as Church - he just seems really grouchy and doesnt play the "dont mess with me" card all that well. There's lots of violence and the action is good but when it tries to be more dramatic or funny it's just weak.

I thought The Expendables 2 was fantastic. Found it very funny, didnt mind all of the references to their previous movies, and the action was great to see. It was extremely cheesy and OTT, but to be honest, it kept a smile on my face throughout, which not many movies can do, so I loved every bit of it.
