Story, acting, plot development......

The actual execution of the film is reasonable, but it wasn't enjoyable.

Not as nauseating as Avatar though.

its gonna depend on casting. Easy-E is the pivotal character, gotta get it right.

technically THG is done very very well (like i said in my first post on it), but the story is stupid/pointless and the acting is very average. It's something I'll never watch again.

Watched The Cove today, great documentary

The Raid was fn awesome. Definitely worth the wait on it's domestic release and a must own on blu ray for me. Felt like I was watching The Protector mixed with Heat and SWAT. Didn't really have that intricate of a story but actually not that bad.

This. And the story never gets cheesy, unlike so many action flicks.

I watched Safe House with Denzel a few weeks ago.

I was forced to go and wasnt expecting anything but it was really good, definitely one of the best movies ive seen in a real long time. Kind of like the Jason Bourne movies.

Prometheus - Enjoyed it. The movie itself was shot beautifully and the graphics were incredible. The movie alone was worth it via special affects and landscape. That said, expect to leave with many questions unresolved. (as is intended) If you ever watched Lost and Lindelof's writing, you'll understand what I'm talking about. I keep hearing people harp on the "plot" in regards to this, but the plot is fine. I think it's the unanswered questions that remain that confuse this with a bad plot. I think they've done a remarkable job with this stand alone movie, with somewhat tying it in to the Alien franchise. It's nothing like Alien or Aliens in terms of scary or action packed. It's somewhere in between but with hidden agendas and a great cast, and some cool HOLY SHIT moments. Overall, a very good Sci-fi movie, but most likely won't be winning any Oscars.

So I dunno about how good it's going to be... But I'm all for a horror film. So Chernobyl Diaries it is.
