I just watched it, and I recommend it.

Just curious if anyone else here has seen it, and if they wanted to share their thoughts/opinion.

IMDB Link.

Yeah, but I think that she was better in this by far.

Of course, in this she actually had a chance to be good. There are so many characters in spooks, you know. Hers was never that important.

I can't wait till the 5th series of Spooks, btw.

i need to finish it. my uncle brought a region 2 back with from the u.k. but it started skipping and not wanting to read the disc at the scene right after they wake up the next morning at the cabin. he hyped it up a bunch and the fact that i got to the part right before they delved in has left me wanting to watch it badly. guess i can ask him to borrow it again and watch it on another drive or just wait for it to come out next month.

I haven't seen the others, so I can't comment in that respect.

Get to it!

And yes, they did. I can understand why they did, though.

Good movie. Enjoyed the way it was filmed and the story/script isn't corny at all.

I actually enjoyed the UK ending. It was unusual and unexpected. Please tell me it wasn't Americanized too much.

Saw it, but really really didnt like it, it rubbed me the wrong way, the entire female cast lacked a really central strong person in the group which lead to a real "ok so shes th emain character, wait shes does ok how bout her" deal. And the monsters totally look like gollum.

Thats just it...they thought that people wouldn't like that ending and then they would the movie was bad.

So they made it more "friendly". I am personally split...I find that the whole "unusual/unexpected" ending isn't original anymore. I don't see it and say "wow, that was totally surprising. What a fantastic movie."

I am more or less, a bit angry. After watching such a movie...you don't want to be hit with that at the end, IMO. Thats why I said "I can see why they made the change".

So I am somewhat indifferent. The ending of a movie like that isn't as important as the journey, anyway.

It is obvious who the main character is.

And of course they look similar to gollum. Both are human-like creatures who live in a cave (and yes I know gollum is really a human that changed). I mean...what the fvck were they supposed to look like?

Great movie! Didn't realize it hadn't been released in the US though.
