I went to go see Kick-Ass 2 earlier. I was fairly disappointed. Although Jorah Mormont made an appearance.

Bugger. I'll check out some reviews before I see it then.

I enjoyed it in parts, but overall I was disappointed in it. I did have high expectations though, which is never a good idea. Just felt like it tried too hard and got a bit stupid rather then stupid funny. And, although I'm not one to normally criticise acting, I thought that was a bit ****ty in places too. Moretz was brilliant in the first one, but being a bit older, not sure she pulled it off so well.

Maybe I'm just a grumpy old man. It wasn't that bad. I just had hoped for better.
 
I don't have high expectations for films ever since Superman Returns came out.

Yes, that did under excite, although it had some excellent moments. I know the latest one is considered much better, but I haven't been able to get around to watching it. How is the new Star Trek film..? Is it out over here yet..? I know US Trekkies aren't entirely happy, but then they like their action totally pure to the canon and nothing else will do.

Metacritic is a pile of ****.

Still, it's a sign. Not many critics are giving it a good review. Generally good films get good ratings.

A notable exception is 28 Weeks Later having a higher score than 28 Days Later, which is just plain ******ed.

Man of Steel is a great film. The new Star Trek is good, but Cumberbatch makes the other actors look poor.

I never listen to or read reviews. I just go to watch a film if I think it looks good.

Some crackpot journalist thinks Spurs will win the league and Ben Arfa will be player of the season.

"Providing he stays fit, Ben Arfa belongs on a different planet to most mortals. Capable of eclipsing Rooney, Bale and even Suárez."

This could be crazy, but she may not be a million miles from the truth should certain things align and they end up with 100m to spend....
