Jurassic World.

The script for this film was clearly cut and paste from many other, more successful films. Both Chris Pratt and Bryce Howard are flat and wooden with zero chemistry between the two. The first 30 minutes is just a series of product placement shots really.

[spoiler]The ending was the predictable duel with a deus ex machina ending.[/spoiler]

Just got back from seeing this.

Jesus, what a pile of shite.

Mine were despatched on the 3rd June too. Can anyway advise how long delivery usually is from posting?

I've found it's usually about a week to 9 days.  If you've not had them by early next week it's probably worth getting in touch with them.  Incidentally, I'm not sure if the date they appear on the Hachette site is necessarily the same as when they're dispatched.  I get the impression they usually send them out after this date.  (My account says 3rd June too btw).

I'll second this, I'm expecting mine by the weekend as they often seem to turn up on a Saturday, that's the latest I'd expect.

According to my account details at Hachette mine were sent on the 3rd of June and I have received them this morning.

That's the link to the first one. There are a further 14 if you go to see seller's other items.

Cheers.

  it was the report of an investigation of allegations of gross misconduct meaning I now have a tribunal to look forward to a week on Friday!
 

been there, done that.
New area manager wanted me out of a very successful branch of Barclays Bank because I disagreed with what they were doing with PPI.

Upshot is they made up lies about me, got two members of staff to back it up, and got rid of me because ' they could not trust me anymore' despite not being able to prove a thing.

Now they have to pay out over a billion pounds because I was right (about PPI) and I have a cushy number as a film critic (well, not just me, but you get the picture.)

Revenge is a dish best eaten with money.

Good luck!

I enjoyed everything in it but that cover rocks.

Whatever else this is, can't go along with 'poor to say the least'. Sorry.

No worries. You're entitled to your opinion and I have no issue with it  :D

It may not be to your taste, (which is fair enough), but it's not 'poor' if it's meant to look like that. Which it obviously is.

It's poor in my opinion.
Others like it, and that's great.
I didn't like the Picasso painting that sold at auction recently but someone liked it enough to spend $179 million on it. I thought that was poor too.
It's all about personal opinions, and I was under the impression that a forum was the ideal place to voice those personal opinions.

Looks like he skipped 'leg day' at the gym.

Sorry, not for me. It's poor to say the least.

There was a similar situation with Nightbreed. I don't want the German versions though.
