<br /><br />Paul Verhoeven finally | <br /><br />Paul Verhoeven finally comes out of the Dutch closet with The Fourth Man, an erotic, explicit and beautiful film that is more the antithesis of Verhoeven's past efforts. This is an erotic fantasy with the plot being simply a pretext for a journey inside the soul. Yes, there is a story here: the writer Jan d... | <br /><br />Paul Verhoeven finally delivers what he had promised for ten years: he finally makes the film he always wanted to make. The story of this film is actually based on a much earlier novel, but the author's permission is given for Verhoeven to remake the original story.<br /><br />The film opens with an old man... | 0.581774 | 0.418226 |
Other than some neat special | Other than some neat special effects (for 1956, anyway), the film is one of the worst horror films ever made.<br /><br />To say this film is hokey would be an insult to real hokey. This movie is more like a child's painting than a movie. In fact, some scenes were done in what must have been the equivalent to claymation... | Other than some neat special effects, nothing I like in this movie. In fact, I hate this movie! What makes a movie bad? 1. Bad special effects 2. Bad acting 3. Terrible story 4. Boring character development This movie has all these things. It is supposed to be some action movie, but it's not really action. The fighting... | 0.501956 | 0.498044 |
I love special effects and | I love special effects and some of the ideas used in The Abyss, and though the movie doesn't quite live up to the hype given it by its critics and fans, it still has some great special effects, and even some genuine moments of thrills and fear.<br /><br />But the movie suffers from its lack of interest in the people, o... | I love special effects and I love horror. I expected a lot, I mean, I expected a lot of blood, gore and a big fight. The blood was present but the gore and the fight were totally missing. There was almost no blood in it, and when there was, they cut it for the most part. I guess that's how it was supposed to be, but th... | 0.499512 | 0.500488 |
The buzz for this film | The buzz for this film was amazing. It is, what should have been, a major Hollywood hit but in the end was a cult film. The film was well written, with very interesting characters. It had its twists and turns and the twist at the end, I didn't see coming. The story was a bit hard to follow, as it was told over the cour... | The buzz for this film has been so bad, I was expecting something that was just a waste of time watching. However, this movie is quite different: it has a great story, a great plot twist, great acting and good pacing.<br /><br />The only thing really wrong with it is the first 1/3, which looks cheap and goes nowhere.

This movie is worth watching | This movie is worth watching. A young artist/producer finds inspiration in a dead body and its murder. The young artist is also obsessed with dead bodies. Her friend's sister dies and this artist is inspired by the murder of that young woman. It is well written and directed. The acting by everyone is very good. It is e... | This movie is worth watching for the scenes alone. With this type of movie, there are really two types of scenes to watch. The ones that show off the acting and the ones that show off the special effects. The scenes of the evil witch (the one that steals your heart)are worth the price of admission alone, but when you a... | 0.503438 | 0.496562 |
Shortly after seeing this film | Shortly after seeing this film in a theater in the early seventies, the first half hour of it was blown away with a single, massive fireball. The survivors were those few with the foresight to seek the relative safety of the hallways of what had been the cinema. We were just too far away to share the fate of the first ... | Shortly after seeing this film for probably the third or fourth time, I rented The Devil And Miss Jones. The plot was identical, but a far better film with Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray, and the songs and dances were far better here also. But I thought The Devil And Miss Jones was much shorter, and, while I loved... | 0.625224 | 0.374776 |
Another violent, angry fantasy from | Another violent, angry fantasy from director Brian De Palma. The plot involves the revenge of a sexually repressed, gay psychiatrist Dr. Alan Feinstone against a gay roommate who has just been set upon by an armed group of thugs.<br /><br />From the opening scene involving the brutal rape of the gay couple, De Palma cr... | Another violent, angry fantasy from Sam Taylor Jones about a group of people who, through a spell, get the power to do what they want in their dreams. Unfortunately the script is a muddle from start to finish it has a couple of great scenes but is otherwise very confusing, and there's just no reason for doing a seque... | 1 | 0 |
To describe this film as | To describe this film as "unrealistic" does not do it justice - it's ludicrous.<br /><br />Let's get it straight - it's a "women's film" directed by a woman, from the point of view of a young woman, about a group of youngish women - and yes, it has to be said - they are not the most interesting or engaging women you'll... | To describe this film as a sequel is an insult to all others who have made sequels of great movies. In this case, the original is easily one of the most powerful and compelling action films ever made---a film to which this poor imitation bears no resemblance. The plot (to the extent that one exists) is a mess, and the ... | 0.541432 | 0.458568 |
That's what I found myself | That's what I found myself shouting out when this stupid, stupid movie came to an end. I sat in a cinema last night, on the edge of my seat, trying to figure out what the hell was going on. How could such a poor, pointless film get made, and then get a full theatrical release, and then even a DVD release? It's not even... | That's what I found myself saying every fifteen minutes or so as I watched this film. <br /><br />The story is bad--but the dialogue and acting are even worse. When the characters deliver lines like these I can't imagine that anyone in an audience could find it funny: "I know I'm a little dumb for someone your age, but... | 0.503911 | 0.496089 |
I rarely make these comments | I rarely make these comments, but having seen this film, felt compelled to do so.<br /><br />Firstly, lets be honest. This was a very low budget film. If you want to make a film and put it out on DVD for wide release, you need to have the resources to be able to do it. Without those resources it is a long walk into obl... | I rarely make these comments but I have to say that all the people who gave this movie a high rating are most likely the family members of the main actor. His first time at bat in front of a camera is pretty good and I loved the story, and I'm glad it helped him get a job in "Pirates of the Caribbean". However I though... | 0.562185 | 0.437815 |
This picture started out with | This picture started out with some good intentions on Dreyer's part. It was shot in a very economical manner and that is probably the biggest asset one can derive from this picture. The look of the whole film is a very fine one. Much of it probably due to the simple fact that the production was economical. But there ar... | This picture started out with a couple of potentially very nice scenarios, however, it very fast turned into one of the worst movies I have ever seen.<br /><br />The story was very unclear in a lot of things, which I assume could be considered a good idea. However, I felt that it was still needed to have some explanati... | 0.999999 | 0.000001 |
C'mon guys some previous reviewers | C'mon guys some previous reviewers have given great, in-depth reviews of this movie. I felt I should add a little something to it. I would have never thought I could see the movie, I mean it is a very bad, clichéd, and just plain funny movie. The only reason you might want to see this would be to see a few of Hollywood... | C'mon guys some previous reviewers were way too generous in this comment.

Okay, now what the hell | Okay, now what the hell was that?!? It's really, really hard to describe this film with real words. It is about all of the characters from different movies, in different situations. They're all thrown together and you watch as it all adds up to a climax in which you may never see one. I know I just got the first point ... | Okay, now what the hell just happened? This movie was a nightmare from beginning to end. It started as an interesting look into the future of "futuristic" movies, and soon after it ended, made me really, really confused. What is it about? What is it?

I saw this when it | I saw this when it came out in theaters. Great acting all around, even from the kids and the little girl whose body is used in the movie who is never seen. But what really made it good was the very cool story and wonderful plot, and especially a very cool twist to the story that I didn't see coming. | I saw this when it premiered on television, not really expecting much.
