Mad Max and robin hood had a love child that turned out to be a bently GT. without a doubt the worst film iv ever seen. Idea for the film wasnt bad but just went in a farsical direction. Thot it would be like dog soldiers....i was wrong, very wrong.

I allowed my admiration for Marshall's "Dog Soldiers" and, even more, "The Descent" overcome my reluctance to see a movie that's not screened for critics. And you'd better believe I regret it. Just absolutely awful. This is I allowed my admiration for Marshall's "Dog Soldiers" and, even more, "The Descent" overcome my reluctance to see a movie that's not screened for critics.

I was very impressed by both of Marshall's previous films. Dog Soldiers was a very good addition to the often poorly served werewolf sub-genre and The Descent had some really good and realistic ideas for a horror film... until the cave I was very impressed by both of Marshall's previous films. Dog Soldiers was a very good addition to the often poorly served werewolf sub-genre and The Descent had some really good and realistic ideas for a horror film... until the cave monsters showed up and it went a bit further than necessary. Still, both were reasonably intelligent modern horror films that showed him to be a talent to watch. I saw this as a free screening due largely Marshall's other films. After seeing it, however, I really wish I had passed. It's little more than a mish-mash of much better films with little in the way of plot or character to fill in the moments between set-pieces and gratuitous moments: e.g. random topless girl, something blows up for no reason, something explodes in a cloud of blood... these occur left and right and entirely without reason or purpose. It blatantly rips off the plot from Escape from New York (a character is even named Carpenter in apparent homage), the set-up will be compared to 28 Days Later (though any "massive viral outbreak in Britain" plot will get that now), steals a lot of design and atmosphere from Mad Max and still manages to throw in some medieval nonsense in there as well. Fight scenes were of the terrible, overly-fast, shaky-cam, quick-cut style making them a jumbled mess and none of the effects really felt that impressive. Almost none of the plot has any semblance of sense with almost every action occurring for little to no reason and characters being encountered so randomly that the writing doesn't feel quite good enough to even be considered lazy. In all I really enjoyed most of the films this is derived from. Heck, I even enjoyed Escape from LA to a moderate degree. This, however, was a waste of time and money even as a free screening.… Expand

Couldn't decide what it wanted to be... just felt like every scene or gag or action scene was mistimed and limp. Big disappointment.

I thought Dog (Sh*t) Soldiers was rubbish and this despite having some money thrown at it is poor and loses it way leaving loose ends all over the shop. Rhona Mitra pulls off her end as the kick ass heroine(i wish she would mine! lol) but I thought Dog (Sh*t) Soldiers was rubbish and this despite having some money thrown at it is poor and loses it way leaving loose ends all over the shop. Rhona Mitra pulls off her end as the kick ass heroine(i wish she would mine! lol) but poor characters and Medevil Scotland with full costumes is hard to believe. Tries to be Aliens, Escape from New York, and Mad Max and ends up being more Waterworld meets 28 weeks later. Disappointing sorry.… Expand

It had the potential to be absolutely fantastic - the premise was brilliant. But then the moment they arrived in Glasgow it turned into a shambolic display of idiocy, excess, and one of the worst Mad Max rip-offs in history. Where's the bitterness? The social and political issues that should have been there but weren't? I'll tell you something, it's blindingly obvious that Neil Marshall is English. And hasn't the vaguest idea of the resentment and anger that exists north of the border even WITHOUT a viral apocalypse. Is it possible for an entire society to be out-of-character?… Expand

At several points I found my friends and I actually bored with the dialogue and having abit of a chat and contemplate a toilet break in the cinema. Just shows how A poorly written script, and direction can create something that i would recommend waiting till it was on weekly rental at your local rather than going and parting with your hard earned cash to see in the cinema. 28 days laterm V for vendetta potential but came of feeling like judge dread Yukky!… Expand

Longest state lottery funded car commercial I've ever seen. This movie was so bad I feel as though my braincells would have been better used drowning in arsenic. This movie should have been illegal. I can honestly say that some of the Longest state lottery funded car commercial I've ever seen. This movie was so bad I feel as though my braincells would have been better used drowning in arsenic. This movie should have been illegal. I can honestly say that some of the glaring plot holes and inexplicable random circumstances were actually the high points of this movie. Not since an Uwe Boll movie has such a huge (also state funded) budget produced such a steaming mountain of manure. Think I'm being too harsh? Let me give you some highlights of the plot: 25 years is long enough to degrade to feudal society complete with competent bowmen, blacksmiths, masons, tapestry weavers, list goes on. A small percentage of the population survives, just enough to have a hundred or so to kill in random scenes. Armored personnel carriers not only do not have bullet proof glass windows, but they don't have shatter proof glass windows. Crazy bloodlusting cannibal psychos in big ole steel trucks and roadsters are scared of tiny 2008 bentleys running into them, but the same psychos are not scared of taking on guys in full high-tech military armor with big huge automatic weapons when they themselves wield boards with nails in them. This movie was just too stupid for digestion. I wanted to like it, I wanted to believe it was camp, I wanted to just enjoy the action, but there was no way possible that I could even start to get into it. Not to mention the adhd quality of the plot, it's appallingly derivative nature or the complete lack of resolution. This was vomit on cellulose and I want that hour and 45 min of my life back. If anyone else would like to start a class action suit with me for damages and vitality wasted let me know. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE.… Expand
