The Island is horse's arse
unless you're playing "spot the product placement"

The Island is fucking brilliant
when you compare it to Pearl Harbour.

Eastenders is fucking brilliant compared to Pearl Harbour
The Island is still better than Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen though. How anyone can make such a cock-up of a premise like that is beyond me

Now, the thing is
I didn't mind Revenge of the Fallen. I think it's because I got it as a gift, everyone else told me it was shit, and therefore I had seriously low expectations. Some of the set piece sequences were brilliant.

I saw it in the cinema with obscenely high expectations
the set-pieces were decent enough but they did too much money-saving obscuring for my liking. And how in the name of satan's arse does a director decide that what sold the first film was not so much the giant transforming robots as the "comedy"?

The Island looked so glossy and the colours so oversaturated
it reminded me of one of the old Sure tv ads where someone applies a bit of deo and then goes and does something EXTREME.

No that's what iRobot is for
to clearly define what is "product placement" and what is taking the fucking piss

There must be something wrong with him
that film has everything including a frankly brilliant car chase with big explosions. Next he'll be telling us he's not looking forward to The Expendables!!
