Ok, I'll try again. This is Matt, writing as Ru, yada yada. I'm doing it because Ru's computer ate her review of Flushed Away and obviously she doesnt want to do another one. However, Geocities (being the piece of total shit it is) ATE MY FRIGGIN' REVIEW TOO. So now it seems like there's some serious conspiracy at work to stop us from getting a good review of this film out. I can't imagine why, but it seems the only logical answer.
It's good, very good. I'm going to paraphrase what I wrote before (which was, frankly, a masterpiece) but Ru liked it more than me but I still thought it was very good. It's very funny, very English and the plot revolves around an upper-class rat called Roddy who is left alone by his owners one weekend, is flushed down the loo and ends up in an underground London populated mostly by other rats. He gets involved in an adventure with a girl called Rita (Winslet) who is battling The Toad (McKellen) and that's about that really.
Honestly, my other review was far better than this but when you're working with such a crap piece of outdated software such as Geocities (which has never been updated to my knowledge in the last 5 years for God's sake) then you have to take the rough with the smooth. This certainly isn't the first time it's happened, but in general I save my reviews to word before transplanting them. I guess I got cocky and paid the price. Should there be, miraculously, any Geocities staffers reading this then please please PLEASE sort your shit out and fix this buggy system. It's annoying.
My review was great, the bastards. |
