Agreed with Kastere on Cloudy
Last night saw 9 on a really crappy rip that had the audio shifting back and forward so that most of the time you'd hear things happen a second or two before you saw it. Even taking that in to account, we just felt it was missing something we couldn't put our collective metaphorical fingers on. The design was cool, but it just wasn't EPIC enough.
Also, after the point where The Scientist reveals that he put his soul in the 9 characters several of us thought that 9's ultimate goal was to force all the others to be sucked up by the evil HAL-imitator and thus give the mega robot a human soul. I just feel that would have been a much more satisfying ending. Especially given that the four left over would have to rebuilt... yet they were the four least technically capable.
Then we saw You Only Live Twice, which was absolutely terrible whilst being wonderfully cheesy and fantastic. It was the first time for all of us, and suddenly we realised where a lot of Austin Powers' jokes came from.
