Yeah after watching this movie myself all I can say is that it was completely terrible and a waste of money. To anyone wanting to go see this trust me and wait for dvd rental so that after the first hour you can bring it back and get something else. Depp's acting is decent but Bale's is so terrible.

P.s Long run-time, terrible camera angles, and a lifeless ambiance gets this film a 3/10

I saw it last night. I thought it was terrible.

I totally agree, Heat is incredibly overrated. Never much loved it at the time, but younger folks seemed to really build a myth around it. It's ok, not terrible, just longwinded and not the masterpiece that many think it is.

Heat is incredibly overrated. It doesn't feel any better then another De Niro/Pacino mash-up (can anyone say Righteous Kill?) OK, maybe not that bad but still terrible.

"PE is a HD video period movie in which the hero gets killed at the end - I think Universal's nerves are a given, regardless of the quality of the film."

Alright, i'm definitely with you there. Though you might have just spoiled the film for your average joe schmoe.

Agreed on Empire and TF, thats why I said for what its worth! But there's also a lot of positive word coming from elsewhere, and so far the only naysayer is a guy who gave The Da Vinci Code four stars. PE is a HD video period movie in which the hero gets killed at the end – I think Universal's nerves are a given, regardless of the quality of the film.

Total Film are huge fanboys. Empire to a lesser degree. Both gushed over Inglourious to dazzlingly misguided, fanboy-ish degrees.

I wouldn't go too much into conspiracy mode yet. A very positive review from Total Film seems to have disappeared off the web as well. PE is picking up rave reviews in France, and (for what its worth)Total Film and Empire seem to really like it. I suspect Universal would be equally worried if A the film stunk, or B the film is great, but too arty or sophisticated for the summer crowd.

Most of the test screening reviews I read seemed to be mixed too, when those are usually more on the positive side. So I'm really not expecting a brilliant film here. I just hope it's decent and not terrible.
