Too Long - Brendan
2012 has all the blowing up and disaster scenes you will ever need but at 2.5 hours long it feels like you just want it to end. Poor film

good movie to long - christopher
Fundamentally terrible, but almost irresistibly entertaining. Its horrors get a tad monotonous in the mid-section, but it's still a value-for-money hoot. MORE

Talk about EDGE OF THE SEAT! - MarvinVonRenchler
One must put aside the fact that some of the FX are simply against the known laws of physics. It IS just a story and entertainment. This movie, for all its too simple and somewhat boring dialog wasnt... MORE

Waste of a Cinema Trip - Sham Fox

Another unnecessarily OTT disaster movie. - pandabat
What is there to say about "2012" other than the fact the Roland Emmerich decided to remake "The Day After Tomorrow". The plot, in as much as it's relevant, centres around John Cusack's failed writer... MORE

Its a mixed bag - Gavin
For a film with a budget this big, its one cheap looking film. Sure it has some spectacular CGI, yet it also has quite a lot of awful effects. That fat russian man is probably the most illegible... MORE

not too bad - Shane
This movie kept me entertained, however, there seemed to be something lacking. Maybe the script wasn't up to scratch or the acting. It was just all too comical with the world ending and all. Everyone... MORE

2012: Once you've seen the trailer - WS
A pity. I can relish a good disaster movie, pure, OTT, numbskulled entertainment; being visually overwhelmed can offer a brief respite, a sound and fury to counterpoint the grimly 'interesting times'... MORE
