Just saw it tonight, it was really good. If you're a fan of Charlize Theron ( ) and James McAvoy, highly recommend. Visually looked amazing and lots of great long take action fight scenes.

No. But she does do a pretty good lesbian sex scene with Sofia Boutella.

Incorrect.


Titties make multiple full appearances, just not center stage.

Probably saw something when she goes into that tub of ice like twice in the film, but nothing memorable.

Yeah it was really really good. Didn't know much about it going in, and thought it was going to be comic book-y, instead it's more like Jason Bourne with a solid espionage plot line and a killer soundtrack. Highly recommend.

Hollywood is doing women a disservice by letting them think that they can actually fight a grown man and win.

I saw this on Saturday with the wife. I thought it was pretty solid. The fight scenes were brutal and well done - as good as the first Borne movie fights. She was a cold blooded whore, and I enjoyed her demeanor the entire movie.

Would recommend.

No more than letting you think that you could actually fight a grown man and win.

I thought they did well with the fight scenes in that regard.

In every fight, whenever it came down to sheer physicality she got her arse beat.

In fact, the only reason why she wasn't killed in the movie theater was because he wasn't trying to.

Her style of defense and biding her time to target her shots and make them count came across as believable.

Consider also she had to be highly trained, where most of the goons she fought weren't.

Granted, if the guys were equally trained she wouldn't have much hope. And the movie showed that.



Do you honestly think you would kick a black belt's arse just because she was female?

Exactly. Which goes back to me mentioning how well done the scenes were.

She did have some kickass judo throws.

Charlize is so hot she can even look hot when she's beat the frick up.


And nuclear hot in bed with another woman.

Saw it tonight and it was very meh.

After it was over I felt like I had to return the $2 bargain VHS cassette to Blockbuster.

That isn't the point

A woman isn't beating a similarly trained man twice her size

There is a reason fighting sports have weight classes

This! I can't believe people actually liked this movie. I love Theron, McAvoy and Goodman and couldn't believe any of them read this script and agreed to do it.
The soundtrack was awesome, but I felt like I was watching a network TV show about a cold war spy and not a good network either... Like ABC or CBS or something.

I just saw it tonight.

It was ok...CT can do no wrong in my book. I could watch her paint her nails and be entertained.

I couldn't remember the last time I'd heard Stigmata. Had to listen to some old Ministry on the way home.

Running on HBO.

Enjoyed it. It was entertaining. The fights were not as unbelievable as I expected. She got her arse kicked, a lot. Would have paid good money to be in set when they were filming the lesbian scene...that shite was hot.

Liked the "history" of how this was all happening right around when the Wall was falling.
