I really enjoyed the sick humour in this film, I thought it was hilarious 8/10

have any of the fans of the original seen it recently? I remember adoring shows and watching them years later, cringing in disbelieve Melrose Place, DAllas, Dynasty anyone?

You guys make me DESPAIR. Was he the one with the nose? Duh, yes!

it gets worse, the only reason I thought this must be him is because he had more lines than the other actor and he was very hammy. I quite often fail to recognise him as he often wears disguises and wigs that unless I read up on who the stars of the film are wouldn't know him from adam. Couple of films in point: Edward scissorhands and The astronauts wife. Another actor I tend to have the same problem with is Michael Fassbender, he doesn't stand out to me. When I see a film he is in, I often have a faint recollection of seeing him in something before but would have to look it up when I get home.

Completed my review! Take a look

I had to find out on here! Thanks you guys.
Think I am gonna see it again on Monday and expect my rating to increase now that I have been "let in on the joke".
(Also I had to endure sitting in the VERY front row which at Vue Edinburgh is within touching distance of the screen, so everything was distorted and difficult to see. Not my fault for being late I hasten to add - it usually is!)

Ok, stuartboy, . . . . . which cinema's front row will you be sitting in on Monday????

DIDN'T YOU KNOW THAT STUARTBOY IS A VIP!!! THAT IS WHY THEY ALWAYS LEAVE THE VERY FRONT SEATS FOR HIM!!

The cinema was almost full when I arrived at 6.05pm and find that when a free film is on at the Vue, Omni there is always a lot of people there very early.

You will need to get on your bike a bit earlier stuartboy and get a decent seat.

We enjoyed the film and it looks like there will be a follow up to it. Too much bad language which wasn't necessary so only 6/10. Wouldn't go again on Monday to see it so you might get a better seat then stuartboy.

Yes think the, at many times, bad language added nothing and detracted from the film. but still gave it 8/10 despite that

I prefer not to. Most of them are ridiculous beyond words. There's this joke they had in a recent episode of "Family Guy" (I think) where they made fun of the fact that in old 80s murder-mystery TV shows, the murderer always turned out to be the most well-recognized guest star. You couldn't get away with silly stuff like that in modern TV shows...well, maybe CSI *cough* ENHANCE!! *cough*

[Jayman]

Because it is a modern update and, as Kevin said, a pisstake of the original.

And don't forget Ron Swanson's hilarious speech about recycling. That single scene pretty much explained the entire point of this movie.

[Beate]

It doesn't matter. I grew up with that (mostly American) stuff and for me the 80s are the golden era of film and TV.

Lol! Still the case, or most of the time anyway, in Castle
