Re: Haywire
Agree the score was one of the worst I've heard in a long time.

Re: Haywire
Well that pretty much sucked. The trailer makes it look so much better than it is.
Considering this is an action film, the film was weighted down with so much exposition. The fight scenes were nice to watch but they were the best thing about the film since the story was slow and badly paced and the acting was very one dimensional. The director tried to make this with flair but failed abysmally. The score was grating as hell and was it just me but the sound seemed muffled at times?
Not enough Fassbender!
3/10
Holloway was completely packed and we were in stupid screen 5 which has hardly any incline.

Poor - very poor.
And so much for Islington Vue's Health and Safety edicts (they told us a while back they had to turn the lights on before the film ended as otherwise they were in contravention of health and safety regulations! But even they agreed that turning them on 10 minutes before a film ended was not quite necessary!) as tonigth they had people sitting/lying in the stairway throughout the film.

Re: Haywire
Ah Valda, maybe you had high hopes like me!
funthing29, I had even forgotten Fassbender was in this! Surely that gives the film an extra 3 points in itself, just for him turning up! Or is that just my scoring system
Well I have to say, they did an excellent job with the trailer, they really showed all the best bits to pull people in.

Re: Haywire
Marjoree, you had a lucky escape.
Celini, we should have done what you did and left much earlier. I think the only reason I stayed is that I didn't want to give the two stupid girls on the stairs our good seats, after they annoyed me so much by lying all over the stairs and blocking it completely that I went out to ask an usher to do something about them. All she did was talk to them though and they did give up a bit of space after that, but they weren't made to leave, even though this must be against health & safety rules.
There was nothing redeeming in this film. It was illogical, nonsensical and full of violence. When she wasn't running around like Usain Bolt she was beating up various bearded actors until they were dead.
And then a deer came flying through the car window. I think that was the point where Celini lost the will to live.
The one point is for it being only 90 minutes long. It ends quite abruptly though, in a kind of WTF ending.

Re: Haywire
The final word uttered in the film sums it up nicely - s**t.
I can say with some confidence that this will turn out to be the worst film I see this year.
The names involved with this clearly have large winter fuel bills to p*y.
