they will, they did so at Ghost Rider.

AS for seats, at the empire, I like to sit in the front row of the back part if you know what I mean. Especially the bit with only 4 seats. NO one in front of you and quite often no one next to you o/
I think you are confusing that with screen 1 of Cineworld Haymarket.

yeah to me it's the same as all the cool kids/ teenagers that think it's great to sit at the back of the bus... until you hit a bump ;) I was never part of the 'cool' lot so doesn't bother me to sit at the front.

Can I ask those "cool kids" going to the Press Preview to respect the fact that us mere mortals don't have the opportunity to see this film until 14th at the earliest. If you are not going to respect the embargo, please respect us by not posting blatant spoilers. I would like to see the outcome for myself, thanks.

Much obliged :-)

Aren't spoilers usually cut anyway? And I think the embargo was just for proper press as there was nothing on my ticket about this, nor did I sign anything. In fact, it wasn't mentioned at the screening at all, which it has been in the past (for instance Woman in Black).

My thoughts:

This was FUUUUN! I had no idea it'd be a comedy (I thought it'd be some sort of spy action thriller and while there certainly were action elements to it, it was the comedy that sold this movie to me). I really, thoroughly enjoyed this one, the boys were on fire. I was going to give the movie a 8.5, however I just realised that's the rating I gave The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and I certainly enjoyed This Means War more, if only for the entertainment factor, so it's getting a 9/10 from me.
