Wimbledon was full and they came around counting empty seats and asking people to move along so the last could get in quicker. I was so disappointed in this film. I'd rather watch an episode of Spartacus. The only things that were interesting was The Gods 5/10
edit, waht happened at the O2 then? Beate made the right choice

Wow, a big fat ZERO! I would've watched it at Holloway but something told me to cancel my tickets. Was the 3D at least decent (if 3D actually can be decent)?

I enjoyed this much more than I expected to. Thought the 3d was quite good, plenty of action although I found I had to concentrate a bit in places. I got a bit fidgety in the middle, but then it picked up again. Totally agree with Sandypiper with respects to Theasus, hubba hubba. Could tell he was British, an American would never have his bottom teeth, but he can put them near me anytime :) Was surprised to see a few big names there as haven't seen any advertised. I think I stand alone though on this one in saying quite enjoyable, but I do love blood and guts everywhere. This would have suited Gerard Butler down to the ground. Didn't hear any sounds from the fella's during the hammer scene lol, get much more reaction at the footie if a certain area even gets a tapping, let alone a hammer :)

Holloway was packed, they even put the lights on to see where the empty seats were! But the screening room was small. Then some people came in late and did not even whisper but talked so loudly about where to sit!
Beate did! I was going to go to The Awakening for the Q&A but I was too kind and gave it to my friends who had not seen it and wanted to see it. They owe me!

To call this film shit is a bit of an understatement. This has to be one of the worst films I've seen this year (alongside Kill List and Transformers 3). It fails in all the way a film can fail: bad acting, weak script, crap dialogue, tacky costumes, mediocre special effects, pointess 3D and an illogical story! 2 hours I will never get back. 1/10.
