479,655 | 463,200 | 94,357 | 7 | Not as good as the first | The first " Better Tomorrow " was superb . . . quick , engrossing and VERY violent . This sequel is good , but not up to the first .

477,426 | 463,200 | 236,348 | 7 | Has its moments . . . | but it's easy to see why this bombed . For one thing it wasn't a live action version of the comic book or the animated series from the 70s . It just took the names and characters and changed everything . So fans of the original comic were annoyed and newcomers didn't know what to make of this . Still , it's not that ba... |
478,180 | 463,200 | 64,471 | 7 | Pretty good | Comedy about a group of Americans on a 18 day ( I think ) tour of Europe .

478,218 | 463,200 | 73,812 | 8 | Dated but lots of fun ! | Tommy is very 1970s - - the clothes , the music , the drugs . . . but it's lots of fun . Also if you came of age in that era ( like me ) , it's very nostalgic . The movie is stunningly directed by Ken Russell - - the imagery is astounding and manages to complement the music . The music is , for the most part , good , b... |

479,466 | 463,200 | 44,009 | 8 | Easy to see why this won the Oscar as Best Documentary of 1953 | Adaptation of Rachel Carson's book about the sea .
