Not that scary, thankfully, but definitely having fun with what you might expect from it, and with some great performances from Colin Farrell and David Tennant especially, it was a film in which I had a smile slapped across my face from beginning to end, and plan to catch it again on release.
Good times.
8/10
I agree with EthanRunt on this one. Also I thought the 3D was actually used well for some gory/scary things. And I definitely enjoyed David Tennant in skin-tight leather. 8-)

I really loved this movie. Not a fan of horror normally but I was persuaded by leather-clad Tennant in the promos to see it and I'm pleased that I enjoyed the entire movie and not just his shirtless scenes (though they were sort of the highlights for me). It had a few gory moment and some jumpy/scary ones that were very well done in 3D but it wasn't too scary at all. It was just a fun movie to watch with plenty of good humour without becoming overly cheesy.

[spoiler]Also I was super pleased that while it did initially seem that Tennant would bite the dust that he actually survived the end battle. I really enjoyed his character and it's good to see that he wasn't killed off just because the type of character he played usually does. Actually, in general it was a pretty happily ever after ending for most characters, except the bad guy and the kid from Kick-Ass.[/spoiler]

8.5/10

I did read he will be there to present the movie but then when I looked at the schedule yesterday he's supposedly presenting it at three screens at the same time so it's eitther prerecorded or he will be at one of the with a link up to the others (if it's the latter I'm assuming he'll be in the biggest screen)

Or, the obviously more plausible option, he can travel through time and space ;)

NOt anymore he can't :shifty:

What time is the screening A? Won't he be on stage at the time?

I got confused over how many people saw it, but I've jsut remembered, we saw it together :oops:

KP is in the minority at the moment, I'm with everyone else on Fright Night 2011. I've never seen the original, so have nothing to compare to, but this was funny a bit jumpy silly scary, good looking men to look at ( yes I am that shallow) good use of 3D, and I had a massive grin on my face all the way through. A total date movie for sure.

As Beate isn't around I will say out loud, I would p*y to see this again 9/10
preferred locations Shepherds Bush, Westfield, Notting Hill, Central London, Wimbledon, Islington, Wandsworth thanks
