Not as bad as I was expecting

This was better than what I was expecting. Sure, it was pretty dumb, but if you get a kick out of Rob Cordry and Craig Simpson, it was worth the time. I enjoy the banter and seemingly off-the-cuff humor that these guys bring. You also have to like sophomoric humor. It's not as good as the fist movie, but I didn't hate it either.

I went into this with literally 0 expectations, I was sure I was gonna hate it but was honestly surprised it wasn't really bad at all. Sure, there are better horror films out there but this wasn't nearly as bad as some of the negative reviews made it out to seem. Its a different take on the found footage genre where the whole movie unfolds over Skype. Basic story is a girl who was bullied commits suicide & on the anniversary of her death strage things happen to her friends while they're all talking together on Skype. At first it sounds like a silly idea for horror film but it surprisingly works here. The cast was good, storyline & what was happening was interesting. Not a lot of blood/gore but there is some. The ending sort of leaves it open for a sequel (which I read was indeed happening). If you want to check out something different at least give this a rent & you may even like it as I did. One downside, for those who care about this stuff, is the disc has no special features at all, not even a trailer for the film.

I didn't think it would be as funny as the first one but I was pleasantly surprised. If you're looking for a great story and character development then this isn't your movie. If you're looking for low brow humor and a few belly laughs this is a decent comedy flick.

WAY better than I was expecting. However, they lose connection and then reconnect every 15 to 30 minutes for me and it's quite frustrating

Better than I expected, given the reviews. Okay, it's not Independence Day, but solid acting, and good special effects. The ending was a little limp, but a solid 3 stars.

This doesn't "suck it in" as good as I hoped, but still was ok.

A lot better than I was expecting. Thicker than I thought it was going to be. Would recommend.

After a while, I found it ok, not as bad as my former review described
It's kind of sour though

This movie was definitley watchable.  It wasn't as bad as some "wanna be critics" say it is.  Yeah, it was all done before, but this movie had scares, gore, good acting, and a very decent plot.  It doesn't all have to be all brand new material, for it to be good does it?  Alot of the Horrorfest movies in the past were boring and dull, but this new batch is much better.  From Within and Dying Breed were also, decent flicks.

For the price, I was not expecting to receive anything extraordinary. However, this is actually not bad at all. Nice quality for the price.

For the price, it's not bad. I didn't have high expectations when I bought it so it was a low bar from the start.

I think that it's important to state that the reviews for this book haven't exactly been glowing so far. So obviously I was worried. And yeah, there were some serious issues that I had with it, but I don't think it was nearly as bad as some of the negative reviews are making it out to be. For one, I had no problems finishing it, but there have been quite a few books that I have read this year that I decided not to finish.

Yeah some of the prose was pretty awkward. I wouldn't call it confusing, but it was pretty stupid. And not realistic. And there were times when it was very distracting and took me out of the story. But the book was super suspenseful and it was a pretty fast read. I found it hard to put down. I noticed that there were a couple of lulls, but I almost feel as if they had to be there or else the book would have been extremely unrealistic considering what the topic was. The good news is that they didn't last long.

And as usual, I have to complain about character development. I just felt that even though all these crappy things kept happening to the characters, I didn't care as much as I should. That was because I didn't know who they were. I felt the book was very plot driven, which is great, but not at the sacrifice of proper character description.
One more criticism before I go: What the heck was up with that ending? I can't say what happened, but I just found it very frustrating and unsatisfying. I am sure that there are plenty of people who would disagree with me, but it was not the type of ending I prefer.

So yeah. It was a suspenseful and quick read with quite a few flaws. But I do think Tunnel Vision will be a favorite read of a select few. But it will not find a large audience because of the very choppy and strange style it is written in. But if it does sound like something you would be interested in based on the synopsis, I encourage you to give it a try, because I found myself clutching my chest in agony waiting for the next thing to happen.

This was better than I was expecting, and maybe thats because after the Finishing School series, I don't expect very much from these books. I grew up on a steady diet of BBC programming, so I get the dry British bathroom humor. I found most of the things that tried to be funny to be at least amusing. I was not amused by the treatment of the people of Bombay within this book. Im not talking about the British colonization tactics, those are historical fact. I am talking about the fact that for a book that, at least partly, takes place in India, there are almost no Indian characters. And the few that are, are only cardboard cutouts for window dressing. I also would really have loved a plot in this book  or at least one that made the tiniest bit of sense. Because, when all is said and done, this book is really just nonsensical fluff and twaddle. Which is okay as far as entertainment value goes, but I had always been told that fantasy fiction needed to be more believable than reality because you're asking the audience to suspend disbelief for so long. I find it sad when the impossible machines were what I found the most believable in this book.

Not as bad as I thought it would be based on the reviews. Even charming at times. A bit weird to see Colin Firth channeling John Cleese at times, and we all winced at a certain part where age difference came into play, but Emma Stone was as great as ever (meaning pretty great), and the plot was ok. One nice thing was that, except for a scene with a psychoanalyst, it wasn't another WA movie where everyone was directed to rant like WA...in that sense, I (I'm sure controversially) like it better than Midnight in Paris, where even Rachel McAdams sounds like him. I'd watch it again.

Not as good as I was expecting... more like it was put together as a desperate project.  I still don't understand her!  ;-(

This story isn't quite as good as "Bad Move", but still I went through it pretty fast. This is a sign that I enjoyed reading it!
