138. Lawless

It may be based on a true story but does it really need to be this by the numbers? 

Almost does something really neat with the 'invincible' tag but blows it and reverts to type. It certainly takes the award for 'the best cast in a terrible movie' as it is hard to believe that such stellar performers were part this piece of generic and cliché ridden bollocks.

75. Iron Man 3

The third instalment of the man in a can is very entertaining for the most part. It's script sparkles, it has some pretty nasty stuff for a 12 certificate movie and it conjures up some quite sinister goings on.

This all adds up to misleading and somewhat unsatisfying conclusion that just confirms that Iron Man needs better villians if the series is to roll on to a 4th film. So not just another 'bunch of CGI dudes' flying about.

27. Prometheus

Don't believe the hype! Well, believe some of it. Prometheus could never really match up the marketing hyperbole but I have to say I enjoyed it.

It's not without it's flaws (a whopping plot hole or two) but it is nicely engaging although it does lack any kind of fear or tension after the 'aliens' (no, not those ones) reveal themselves.

It all feels a bit short to me and could have done with another 30 minutes sprinkled in along the way. No doubt that will be in the Directors Cut which will be out 3 months after you've already spent £20 on the Triple Editon Blu-Ray.

Maybe.

10. Lockout

"So if the big hand is pointing to the three..."

After the enjoying the quirky, french based style of both Léon and The Fifth Element it has come as a bit of a surprise to me that Luc Besson has rested on his laurels. He now seems to be quite happy to churn out any old B movie tat.

Needless to say Lockout follows that trend. But in a very enjoyable, wise cracking fashion. Guy Pearce is great as our head exploding hero Snow and Maggie Grace provides a good foil for his snappy repartee as they try to escape the space prison for Glaswegians.

A good distraction for a Tuesday night. Luc Besson needs to try a bit harder though...
