So, I hadn't exactly been anticipating this film with great wonder and excitement, but it has been a long week, and light entertainment was what i needed. Now the prospect of two grave diggers, terrorising Edinburgh, by murdering innocents in order to donate their bodies to medical science, would not ordianarily strike me as a comedy, and it was a little bit hit and miss.
I felt Andy Serkis (who plays Gollem) shined the most as Hare, as did the little comedic parts played by other big names (such as Bill Bailey and Tim Curry). However, Simon Pegg was not really on form. I mean, the script could have been alot better, as could the film, but i was quite disapointed in him, and Isla Fisher's accent was a huge put off. I just couldn't help thinking "you're an aussie, go back to home and away and speak properly" but i guess she served the purpose as a love interest okay. In fact as i think about it there are more and more plot holes and bad acting that pops into my mind, that i'm just not goingto bore you with.
Overall, i think entertainment wise it was probably a 3 out 5 (in terms of mindless entertainment) in how good a film it was, i'd give it a 2.
P.s, don't go with medics to see this film, apparently it's not totally medically correct... what is with that?!
The artery part was correct :)
