Empire is a great mag as the critics are genuine film lovers, you can tell. Not like that guy that comes on radio one, what a moron! The reviews are done by fans of the genre they are reviewing, so you won't get a sci-fi fan dissing a period drama or a romcom lover ranting about an action film.

If you enjoy films and are fed up with idiot critics giving wrong reviews this is the mag for you, however just remember that reviews are usually written by fans of the genre - but then why would you be reading a review about another jayne austin novel conversion when you love vin diesel films?!

As with all magazines I do feel its over priced but thats why i cant wait for emags to take over!

However they often get it wrong and I have lost cou ...

The best film magazine around, Empire is packed full of information, reviews and interviews. It clearly has a good reputation in the film industry (just look at the people who sent it birthday congratulations in issue 180) which means it often bags exclusives and very frank interviews.

The reviews are excellent, striking just the right balance between fan-boy excitement and enjoyment and film critic cynicism. I always turn to Empire first, and even if I don't always agree with what they s ...
