449,864 | 2,093,818 | 87,909 | 1 | Hmmm . . . contains some spoilers | I had heard good things about Phenomena , and I thought that was what I had found when I borrowed this from a friend ; however , what I saw was , apparently , the heavily cut , shoddy American version , Creepers . While I can't compare this to the original , I doubt that it can be very good , if it contains the same fo... |
450,639 | 2,093,818 | 91,225 | 1 | Just really , really , really bad | I honestly don't know how I've managed to sit through this P . O . S . movie even once ; it sucks so bad that it's impossible to know , or even speculate , how on earth it got through the entire production process , and all the way to the movies . The fact that this film isn't on the bottom 100 list here on the site is... |
449,912 | 2,093,818 | 118,688 | 1 | The one positive about this " film " is that it was the last of its kind | If in making this , Schumacher attempted to create a film that looks and feels like a comic book , the man has either never actually opened one such , or all he saw was the bright lights , flamboyance and the worst of the text . This has all that made Batman Forever painful , only much , much more of it . The vast majo... |
450,405 | 2,093,818 | 110,725 | 1 | Deserves its low rating | I haven't seen any Steven Seagal movies apart from this one , and I probably won't , considering how awful this one is . If the rest of his films are even remotely as bad as this one , I can't understand how he could manage to have such a long career . Everything about this film is bad : the plot is lame , slow , and h... |
450,252 | 2,093,818 | 171,465 | 1 | For huge fans of Lance Henriksen only | This is one of those movies that some networks / TV channels buy the rights to for slim to nothing , and then put on when they've got nothing better . Unfortunately , I was not aware of that , when I caught this on TV a few years ago . Actually , I just realized it today , when I watched it for the second time , and wa... |
449,856 | 2,093,818 | 318,763 | 1 | And here you thought the original was bad . . . | This is pretty much the first Jason Scott Lee film I've seen . I say pretty much , because I have also seen Soldier , in which he plays the villain . . . but from what I've heard , it's not considered a Jason Scott Lee film . This , however , is . And if this is any indication of the quality of such films , I won't be ... |
450,869 | 2,093,818 | 275,022 | 1 | Wish I could give it a 0 ( the worst movie ever ) | I did not expect anything from this movie . Not at all . I expected it to be about two hours of chick movie . I was heavily disappointed . It was even worse . Not only did it have an annoying chick feel throughout the movie , it was so predictable . I sat through it , constantly being able to figure out what happens ne... |
450,436 | 2,093,818 | 237,446 | 1 | Possibly the worst spy-movie ever made . . . and that says a lot | Oh dear . . . where to begin ? Everything in this movie was so excruciatingly bad and awful that I could only manage to glance at it briefly every fifteen-twenty minutes . I have a theory that this movie was originally supposed to be a pilot episode of a new series ; that doesn't really change how implausibly bad it is... |
450,645 | 2,093,818 | 120,667 | 1 | Horrid writing , deplorable casting and acting that would make B-movie actors look away in shame | Seldom do you see a movie that looks so bad from the beginning , that no matter how many fanatics tell you it's great , no matter how often the thought that it might actually not be that bad hits you , it doesn't even in the least affect that deep down , in your core , you know it will be just as bad as you knew from t... |
450,691 | 2,093,818 | 89,826 | 1 | Just when you thought the series couldn't get any worse . . . | Well , here it is . . . the last Porky's film . The lowest of the low . Does it actually get any worse than this ? I hope not . The first two movies had some ( albeit not an awful lot ) value and were just above being garbage committed to celluloid . . . this one is different , worse . The direction is lazy and uninspi... |
450,638 | 2,093,818 | 262,571 | 1 | Horrible | Having seen only one other Bix Skahill film ( well , actually , looking on his filmography , this is only his second film , meaning I've seen everything he's done , feature-film-wise ) , I must say , this is really bad compared to the other one . Chain Of Fools ( which wasn't directed by Bix , only written by him . . .... |
450,253 | 2,093,818 | 144,640 | 1 | Starts low , goes to the bottom , and finally goes through the bottom , lower than the lowest of the low . . . and that's low | When I heard about this film ( some three years ago , I think ) I immediately shunned the very thought of sparing it as much as a glance , due to my strong dislike of Matthew Perry . Then the TV channels started sending it . Over . And over . And over . And today , after who knows how many times I've skipped it ( which... |
450,392 | 2,093,818 | 120,029 | 1 | A good candidate for the most pointless waste of 90 minutes ever | Why is it , that when Hollywood wants to make a children's movie , they immediately jump to the conclusion that it has to be childish ? You can make perfectly good children's movies that people over the age of six can watch , too , you know . Just look at The Neverending Story , or several of Disney's productions . Thi... |
450,891 | 2,093,818 | 98,627 | 1 | What a pathetic attempt | It amazes me that there are so many people who like this movie ; or wait , maybe " amazes " is a wrong word to use here . . . " concerns " , or maybe " terrifies " is more like it . The movie is solely based on the one joke of a guy being dead , and no one noticing it . This might have worked if it was considerably sho... |
450,022 | 2,093,818 | 897,734 | 1 | When exactly did Michael Moore become a " master of science fiction " ? | Wow , that was awful ! My fiancée ( who has aided me in several other recent reviews of mine ) and I watched this last night , and the quality was so low , we decided to write a review of it together . . . to warn off anyone lucky enough to not have watched it yet . No , the " documentary " - maker may not have had a d... |
449,946 | 2,093,818 | 295,701 | 1 | Brings new meaning to the term ' insulting to the viewers intelligence ' | Values change over time . A hundred years ago , you were happy if you could live past the age of thirty and had someone you liked to spend your time with . Until recently , you expected an action film to be more than a muscled guy spouting poor one-liners and blowing stuff up . Well , I guess that would be recently mea... |
450,643 | 2,093,818 | 116,055 | 1 | One of those action films which are barely worth sitting through , and are instantly forgotten | You know those really bad action films of the late 80's and early 90's ? Some of them had big star names like Stallone , Schwarzenegger , Willis or Norris . This one only has semi-known Billy Drago , and everyone else are just no-names ( I certainly didn't recognize anyone else ) . The film has just about every action-... |
449,807 | 2,093,818 | 111,301 | 1 | Eh . . . wake me up when it's over . . . | When Jean-Claude Van Damme is starring in a film , you're already preparing for something bad , but this might actually be the worst film he's made , as it's more than just bad ; it's excruciatingly bad . It's not the worst film ever made , but it's close . For an action / martial arts movie , the fighting / action seq... |
449,816 | 2,093,818 | 119,896 | 1 | You know what's funny ? Not this movie . . . | Yep , that's it . Cold and hard . You can call this film ' sweet ' . You can try to justify its existence through every possible way known to man . You can even claim that it's romantic , rather than dated , derivative and ' been there , done that ' . Nothing will change the fact that this film simply is not funny . Th... |
450,351 | 2,093,818 | 104,449 | 1 | Remember when this series was good ? . . . me neither . . . . well . . . remember when it was tolerable ? | The first film was perhaps watchable , the second not even that , and now the series reaches utter . . . what is the film , even ? I'm not sure I'd call it horror . It seems almost like they had an idea or two for something to put in a House flick , and wrote an overall plot ( well . . . ) around it , and hoped everyon... |
450,855 | 2,093,818 | 367,093 | 1 | Not even particularly good for a B-movie | From the very first frame of this film to the very last , it's completely obvious that it's a B-movie . A modern , low-budget , direct-to-video no less , action-B-movie . As a follow-up to the first , it's very bad . It turns the plot and theme of the first completely around . The plot is lame , and very unoriginal . T... |
450,051 | 2,093,818 | 85,363 | 1 | And here I've been watching comedies under the impression that they needed plot and , well , comedy | The first movie Jim Carrey ever made , and the biggest surprise found herein is that the man actually got ( or had ) a career after it . The story revolves around two friends in the mountains , one of them there for a woman . They also go skiing . Yup , it's essentially Dumb & Dumber ( yes , I realize that that came ou... |
450,667 | 2,093,818 | 222,192 | 1 | In a word : simple | You know those games where , when you play them , you can barely understand why they were even made , nay , thought up , in the first place ? Well , this is even worse than that . Not only is the reason for the existence of the game seemingly nonexistent , it's so bad in just about every single conceivable way that you... |
449,776 | 2,093,818 | 117,765 | 1 | A T & A movie . . . with a plot ? ! ? Who came up with that ? | Like Paul Verhoeven's Showgirls , this is a T & A movie . The thing is , while Verhoeven knew what T & A was about ( T & A standing for Tits and Ass , it's obviously nudity ) , Andrew Bergman ( who I suppose is the person to blame for this movie ) doesn't ; I guess he thought it should be more than just nudity , and tr... |
450,433 | 2,093,818 | 94,074 | 1 | The last remnants of sense disappear in a film of two messages . . . one more heavy-handed and preachy than the other | As much as I hate to go with popular consensus , I must admit that it is quite accurate in the case of this film . . . it blows . It blows with the power of its title character's super-breath . Oh golly me , how it blows . Nuclear Man looks and sounds ( apart from the fact that his lines being spoken in Gene Hackman's ... |
450,163 | 2,093,818 | 120,179 | 1 | Just bad , pretty much any way you look at it | From the fact that Reeves himself turned down the opportunity to star in this sequel to the pitifully awful pun in the subtitle of the film , this is just so obviously a bad idea , and one with pretty poor execution , at that . The plot is silly , and a weak attempt at recapturing the essence of the first ( which , in ... |
450,448 | 2,093,818 | 120,185 | 1 | Oh dear lord . . . | Let's just be brutally honest here ; this is a Spice Girls vehicle . No doubt about it . From the biggest hater of the film to the biggest fan of the girls , everyone might as well admit from the very beginning : this film was primarily ( and , in the opinion of many , purely ) made to promote the Spice Girls as well a... |
450,723 | 2,093,818 | 299,930 | 1 | Oh the humanity | As this aired on TV , having heard nothing but awful things about it , I decided to see for myself if they were true . Oh how they are . From the very first frame . The Italian ( who aren't the only in this mess , trust me ) stereotypes are irritating right from the beginning . I am not certain if absolutely nothing po... |
450,073 | 2,093,818 | 301,848 | 1 | One of the worst of the newer slashers | The slasher genre started with great movies like Halloween , Friday the thirteenth and Nightmare on Elm Street ; now it has degenerated into this amateurish mess of a movie . Most of the slashers , new and old , try to impress with interesting , and a lot of the time , extremely gory , death scenes . But whereas most o... |
450,876 | 2,093,818 | 60,666 | 1 | Very nearly completely unwatchable | First off , I applaud the idea behind this . The goal of creating a piece that wins over audiences in spite of a low budget is a commendable one , and had this had much merit , or even any , beyond said concept , I would be giving them props . Not so . It's surely all been said . The production value on this is zero . ... |
450,510 | 2,093,818 | 146,402 | 1 | Horrible from start to finish | Not one single good gag . Not one single funny line throughout the film . The entire cast gives lousy performances . I know that when the film was made , Raul Julia ( may he rest in peace ) had died , and that Christina Ricci was getting a little too old to play Wednesday ; but did they really have to recast everyone e... |
450,625 | 2,093,818 | 261,203 | 1 | Yet another boring romantic comedy , in the form of a bad fairy tale | I have to admit , I had pretty low expectations when I sat down to watch this . Surprisingly enough , I was still disappointed . I honestly have a hard time believing how bad it was . Every single character was a cliche . The plot was ridiculous , lame and held no surprises whatsoever . I had figured out the end within... |
449,970 | 2,093,818 | 432,291 | 1 | They even managed to find a less tolerable kid | I don't love the original . Nor am I one to claim that the only way a remake can be good is if it doesn't deviate from its source in the slightest . Heck , I'm not even going to insist that the atmospheric , deliberately paced , skillfully built up method of the ' 80 film is the only way to do this . What I am going to... |
450,035 | 2,093,818 | 196,267 | 1 | Maybe one should consider this a parody on the first . . . | . . . or maybe it just IS this bad . The plot is a cheap rehash of the first , which is weird , since it's supposed to be a prequel , not a sequel . Pretty much the entire movie seems like a cheap remake of the first , with scenes mimicking the things that happened in the first , only a lot more ridiculous and unlikely... |
450,371 | 2,093,818 | 185,431 | 1 | Finally , solid proof that Adam Sandler is the spawn of the devil . . . | I've seen this movie a few times . Why , I can't say for sure . Maybe because I enjoyed the music . Maybe because I was trying to figure out why the hell ( pun intended ) people said it was funny . Maybe I was looking for what it is people rave about with all Adam Sandler films ; I guess I just couldn't really come to ... |
450,380 | 2,093,818 | 317,676 | 1 | Boll . . . put down the camera before you hurt . . . well , more of us | There are bad movies . There are guilty pleasures . There are movies that are so bad , they're good ( and a select few that go beyond that , back to bad . . . thank you , Ghost World ) . But Uwe Boll's movies . . . this may be the first one I've watched , though I wouldn't exactly brag about having watched more than on... |
450,495 | 2,093,818 | 443,649 | 1 | The animated material is more real than the emotion | Before you read this review , know that I am not bothered by the utter lack of historical accuracy ( not much , at the very least ) . I went to a Roland Emmerich film expecting effects and not . . . really anything else of value . You only really go to something he's done anticipating story or characters worth remember... |
450,991 | 2,093,818 | 107,978 | 1 | The slow , agonizing death of the series | More British people will be villains . . . less subtlety will be in symbolism . . . and no clichés will be left untouched . Our hero faces the greatest threat this time around : A family film . Since when was RoboCop anything resembling child-safe ? The humor almost invariably ( the " rocket scientist " bit is arguably... |
450,972 | 2,093,818 | 113,762 | 1 | Horrible , just horrible | Horrible film that should never have gotten further than a rough first draft of the script . It's very superficially based on a Stephen King story , with some ridiculous twists and plot items . The film is so riddled with clichés that you would almost think it was on purpose . The idea of a bunch of machines suddenly c... |
450,432 | 2,093,818 | 333,780 | 1 | Void of everything that made the first watchable | I like to think that I'm fairly objective when it comes to judging films . I try to see the good in every film , the special touch or that admirable quality that few other films have . In this particular case , however . . . I found myself looking hard to no avail . I like the first film . I do . I like the way it util... |
449,797 | 2,093,818 | 387,575 | 1 | It's not as much the fact that the joke is repeated until we're more than just sick and tired of it as much as the fact that it was never funny in the first place | Here it is . The ( dear sweet god I certainly hope so ) last Chucky film . The last of the films , and the first that I've truly disliked . Wait , disliked ? Scratch that , flat-out hated every second of . The film is a comedy more than anything else , and instead of coming up with many good jokes , as every competent ... |
450,949 | 2,093,818 | 104,119 | 1 | Bad . . . just bad | When I borrowed this from a friend , he said that it was " just a stupid little movie that you could watch , if you didn't take it seriously . . . at all " . Well , I must say , he was absolutely right . This film has no redeeming qualities whatsoever . . . it's just bad . The very idea is so stupid that it's no wonder... |
451,012 | 2,093,818 | 829,188 | 1 | Just when you thought it was safe to tune in to the Sci Fi Channel | It is always a bad omen when you find out something was produced by them . Have you ever wondered what Army of Darkness would have looked like without humor or fun , and if put together by no-talent hacks ? I know , right , me neither , not for a second . Well , evidently , this is what would come out of such . I speak... |
450,440 | 2,093,818 | 117,350 | 1 | The problem is that we've heard the joke before . . . and it was never funny | I've never understood this type of spoof movies . You get some serious / semi-serious movie that everyone knows about and takes the seriousness out of it through immature fart-jokes and such . We've seen it many , many times , and it's never really been funny . It's just an easy way to laugh at something you don't unde... |
450,633 | 2,093,818 | 102,070 | 1 | Easily the worst comedy I've ever seen | When I sat down to watch this , I had reasonable expectations for it ; I was sorely disappointed . I don't think my expectations mattered much though ; no matter what I had expected , no matter how low my expectations were , I couldn't have been prepared for how horribly bad this was . It was complete and utter garbage... |
450,393 | 2,093,818 | 257,106 | 1 | Horrible , just horrible ; even worse than the first | How would you define ' film ' ? If you define it as something that's filmed and put together , I suppose that you could claim that this falls under that definition , but if you define it as something that has structure , continuity and meaning , then this isn't a film . It's just a bunch of gags and scenes ( badly ) cu... |
450,706 | 2,093,818 | 100,053 | 1 | Could have been decent entertainment , if it didn't take itself so damn seriously | I usually find Dan Aykroyd to be good in comedies , and I'm rarely disappointed by Gene Hackman , whatever the movie . So , when I hear about them in a movie together , I naturally want to check it out . Even if it's rated low here on IMDb . Well , this is one of the times where I wish I hadn't been so curious . . . or... |
450,642 | 2,093,818 | 110,675 | 2 | Could have been a great campy / corny action-flick , but falls short | Just look at the cast for this film ; Andrew Dice Clay as main villain , Robert Davi as mystical bodyguard , Roddy Piper as a henchmen . . . do I need to go on ? Yes , the stage is definitely set for a cheesy , campy and thoroughly corny action-film . . . but it falls short . The dialog is cheesy , but not cheesy enoug... |
450,836 | 2,093,818 | 118,708 | 2 | Horrible | This is definitely one of the least funny movies I've ever seen . I didn't expect much from a Farley movie , but I had never imagined it would be so bad . Even Chris Rock can't save this turd with his comedic genius . In fact , he didn't even make me laugh once . The plot is ridiculous . It relies on the totally unbeli... |
450,241 | 2,093,818 | 115,471 | 2 | Pay attention to the editing and cinematography | Let's face it ; this movie is bad . Not decent , not with one or two things going for it . . . just bad . I see no reason to beat around the bush ( a rather silly thing to do anyway . . . what is there to beat around a bush ? What reason , for what purpose ? Anyway . . . ) , so let's just agree that this movie doesn't ... |
450,761 | 2,093,818 | 239,948 | 2 | I'm amazed that I managed to sit through this mess | This is one of the least funny films I've ever seen ; it wasn't even unintentionally funny . Every single joke and gag falls flat and seems lame , not to mention how unbelievably predictable the film and jokes / gags are . There wasn't one moment in the film where I was surprised . The plot is ridiculous ; I suppose it... |
450,874 | 2,093,818 | 69,005 | 2 | It's about bunnies . . . killing , carnivorous and big | The Year of the Angry Rabbit . . . evidently trimmed down ( that long-lasting a terror must simply have been too great to tolerate for impressionable theater-goers ) to a night or two , and changing the last words of it , presumably to avoid at least a smidgen of the silliness that permeates the entirety of this . It's... |
451,028 | 2,093,818 | 271,668 | 2 | I take offense | It takes a lot to offend me . I'd like to think I've been fairly hardened through the nineteen years I've lived . I can laugh at politically incorrect stuff . I find South Park quite humorous and satirical , rather than offensive and disgusting . It takes a lot to offend me . But this movie did . Dennis Dugan , continu... |
450,198 | 2,093,818 | 120,544 | 3 | What happened , Mike ? | Not long after watching the fairly interesting documentary " Who Do You Think You're Fooling ? " by Mike White , which makes good comparisons between Reservoir Dogs and City on Fire , I watched this ' sequel ' . . . where Mike - as opposed to seeming like a bright man with good , argumentative points - just comes off l... |
450,251 | 2,093,818 | 118,580 | 3 | In a word : Pointless | Do you know when you look at your collection of old , videotaped movies , and realize that there are some that you've only seen once or twice , and you can't remember if they're worth the time it takes to see them ? The Alibi is / was one of those films ; I found it , not long ago , and decided I might as well give it ... |
450,662 | 2,093,818 | 120,741 | 3 | Decent at best , not particularly funny spoof of gangster films | When this movie started , I thought I was going to see a good , intelligent spoof of mafia films . When the main theme played , and I immediately recognized it as a spoof of the main theme to the great gangster film , Once Upon A Time in America . Then it continued , and got increasingly stupid . Every single shot was ... |
450,042 | 2,093,818 | 97,474 | 3 | And here I thought it couldn't possibly get any worse | After watching this travesty of a slasher , this disappointment of epic proportions , I'm left with unbelievably low expectations for the rest of the Halloween series . After watching the fourth , I had trouble believing it could actually get any worse . I was wrong . This movie is so bad , it's seriously hard to sit t... |
450,320 | 2,093,818 | 107,438 | 3 | The series hits rock bottom , but hey , it wasn't that far a drop | Well , at least this was the last they made ( no , Hollywood , that was not a dare ) . In that they had run out of different genders of children to give celebrity voices to , they turned to the pets . This time , they give the family two dogs , one of each gender , give them each a voice and lets the kids rest their in... |
449,911 | 2,093,818 | 119,326 | 3 | Well . . . at least the music is OK | I've watched and enjoyed two other ' black ' comedies ( not to be confused with " black comedies " ) , The Wash and Booty Call . However , in the very first scene of this film , I found myself having a bad feeling about it ( yes , that was a Star Wars reference ) . . . I started to think this was going to be a dreadful... |
449,903 | 2,093,818 | 282,976 | 3 | My reaction to this game can be summed up in one word . . . and that word is " meh " | What is it with these The Simpsons games ? Are they all this bad ? I've only tried this game and The Simpsons : Hit & Run , but they're both awful ( in spite of having seemingly tons of money tossed at them , given the quality of graphics , the fact that every single role is reprised , etc . ) , and I've yet to hear an... |
449,832 | 2,093,818 | 119,303 | 3 | Somewhat original , fair music . . . but that's about it | The first Home Alone was a decent enough film . . . the sequel was pretty much the same , at a new setting . This one tries to be original , and succeeds to some degree . . . of course , the formula is basically the same , so it's like watching the same movie for a third time with slightly altered plot . The new score ... |
450,397 | 2,093,818 | 312,306 | 3 | Not all bad , if somewhat close | A Nordic slasher . Who would have thought such a film would ever see the light of day ? Though this goes by some of the rules of slasher flicks , something's missing for it to be a genuine slasher . It's hardly gore , false scares or daft teenagers . . . heck , there's some of all of that within the first five minutes ... |
450,660 | 2,093,818 | 251,075 | 3 | The longest Head and Shoulders commercial ever . . . | This movie is pretty much just a remake / update of Ghostbusters , with aliens instead of ghosts . This pretty much proves that director Ivan Reitman can't really do anything but this type of films . The plot is stupid and poorly paced . The acting is pretty decent , but that's also the only good thing about this film ... |
450,940 | 2,093,818 | 120,841 | 3 | Hard to just flat-out hate , but only slightly easier to enjoy | The first Species is kind of a cheap , low-profile , gore-fest kind of horror-flick , that benefited from a fairly impressive cast . This is the direct sequel , where three cast members return , two of which in the exact same roles ( Madsen and Helgenberger ) and the last playing a new character based on her character ... |
449,755 | 2,093,818 | 246,544 | 4 | I never thought I'd say this . . . but we could have done without the martial arts | This was purchased for and given to me by someone who knew of my affection of The Matrix , and depictions of unarmed combat in general . Unfortunately , this individual was either without a smidgen of taste in film , or had not actually seen it . The fights , whilst showing potential , and having been choreographed by ... |
450,043 | 2,093,818 | 95,271 | 4 | Below average for a slasher | This is the first of the sequels I've seen , and it might not be the worst of them , but it definitely is bad . The first was a masterpiece of slasher cinema , this one is so bad , it could be mistaken as a parody of a slasher . Apparently , the plot has something to do with Michael Myers returning to kill his niece , ... |
449,799 | 2,093,818 | 103,956 | 4 | Definitely worse than the first two , but not all bad | Lets get one thing straight ; this film is bad . The plot is poorly written and full of gaping holes . The pacing is awful ; the film drags by so slowly that it'll take all of your tolerance and patience to sit through the entire film . The acting is hammy , with no exception ( well , possibly Brad Dourif as the voice ... |
450,899 | 2,093,818 | 152,930 | 4 | Just bad . . . very , very bad | I had expected this movie to impress me with good action scenes , and probably some good humor too ; I was heavily disappointed . I knew it was about cars , but come on , nothing else ? The movie consists of scene after scene involving cars racing . It might as well have taken place at a race track . The humor mainly c... |
450,321 | 2,093,818 | 100,050 | 4 | Even worse | A poor sequel to a movie the very existence of which was just barely warranted , if at all , much less deserving a follow-up ( and it didn't even end here ) . Granted , the end of the first did pretty much mean that they had to do at least one more , and the addition to the gimmick as well as the new pun of equally que... |
450,692 | 2,093,818 | 86,129 | 4 | Hello ? Anybody ? This is the humor in the film . . . can somebody help me ? I'm trapped under a huge pile of sub-plots . . . | This is the second Porky film . . . and it just exactly manages to be slightly worse than the first . Surprising ( and unfortunate ) , since this actually does manage to produce a laugh or two . The humor is basically the same , but this somehow gets you laughing , at least a time or two . There is a rather funny excha... |
449,861 | 2,093,818 | 112,869 | 5 | Not a bad idea , but unsatisfying execution | I guess my first mistake was to pick this up at Blockbuster without ever having heard of anything about it ( including title ) before . Luckily , this was also my last , as I didn't make the common mistake of expecting equal talent and entertainment value from all films I watch . I quickly recognized this as the turkey... |
450,281 | 2,093,818 | 85,615 | 5 | Movie ? It barely moves at all | The film opens with music which borders on being painful to the viewer's ears , and an angle that is somewhat unpleasant ( and doesn't mean to be ) to them , which nicely sets the tone of generally not being appealing . At an early point , a car stalls . . . the film itself does so from start to finish , never getting ... |
450,530 | 2,093,818 | 371,089 | 5 | Portrait ? Sounds classy | This is the second featurette on the DVD of The Andromeda Strain , the other being a making-of . This is Crichton , in one interview , occasionally intercut with clips from the movie , and still material . He talks about his early writing career , med school , worrying what the professors would think of him if they kne... |
450,603 | 2,093,818 | 112,864 | 5 | Eh . . . boring , humorless and lacks intensity ; so action-less that I don't think it can be classified an action film | Some heavy spoilers , but confined to one single paragraph , and clearly markedThis is , by far , the worst in the Die Hard Trilogy . We meet John McClane once again , but now he's no longer funny , he's just a pathetic jerk , who you wouldn't pity if he was dying slowly from a horrible disease . He's given a new " unl... |
449,898 | 2,093,818 | 116,731 | 5 | Thoroughly unimpressive | Despite a fairly good cast , this film has nothing to offer . Nothing we haven't seen before . Nothing we haven't seen done better . Nothing worth spending time watching in order to gain . The plot is decent at best , and barely holds up at all . The conflict is just not there ; who are we supposed to hope dies ? Who a... |
449,906 | 2,093,818 | 118,615 | 5 | A film as devoid of life as a victim of the title creature | A rapper and a singer who think they can act and / or have any business acting join forces with several actors and a comedian and face a large snake . The film was put together for the sole purpose of putting said snake , the type of which is in the very title , on the screen , the justification for such is not . . . p... |
449,995 | 2,093,818 | 368,930 | 5 | You want something that's entirely non-politically correct , look no further . If , however , you want something that's actually entertaining , look elsewhere | Eh . . . an alternate heading for this review might be " sucks on so many levels " , but I thought that this summary puts it better and hopefully it catches the eyes of potential buyers ( so that I may warn them ) . If you are indeed reading this , it worked . If not . . . I was wrong . First things first ; I was inter... |
449,927 | 2,093,818 | 388,451 | 5 | Informs | This is a special feature that you can view on the second of the 2 discs of the DVD of Terminator 3 : Rise of the Machines . Well , technically , that should be " several " , not " a " . And if you want to be get really pedantic , a little of this bunch allows for a little interactivity , also . I'll get last-mentioned... |
450,641 | 2,093,818 | 78,163 | 5 | If this is anything but Sellers at his worst , I won't watch any more of his films | Having not seen any of the previous ( or later , for that matter ) films in the Pink Panther series , I can't comment on this compared to the others . I can , however , comment on how terribly unfunny and devoid of actual comedy it is . All of the humor is either bad slapstick ( have we actually seen any really good sl... |
450,560 | 2,093,818 | 116,695 | 5 | Not sure whether this is a chick flick or just a generic bad movie . . . | I saw this a few years ago , and didn't quite see why everyone was praising it so much . I attempted to watch it again a year or two later , still desperately trying to figure out what everyone was praising the movie for . Then I borrowed it from the local library a few days ago , and today I saw it again . . . I'm sti... |
450,122 | 2,093,818 | 118,583 | 5 | Jean-Pierre ? Well , see , a number of us have been wondering . . . what the heck were you thinking ? | I understand that French directors make weird films . In fact , maybe this one's even one of the most extreme in that respect . But this is just . . . a minor complaint would be events and actions in general that are bizarre , but there also bigger issues . For one thing , so many situations are solved in an unexpected... |
449,952 | 2,093,818 | 120,458 | 5 | If this comes on some day when you've got absolutely nothing else to do and you don't expect anything from the film , give it a try . . . otherwise , avoid it | My friend and I found this one night at Blockbuster . It looked nice . . . fairly appealing cast , plot sounds like it might be good and it certainly looks like it could contain some very good science fiction ( which I live and breathe for , basically ) . So , we rented it . That was a few years ago . . . years where I... |
449,933 | 2,093,818 | 220,008 | 5 | I'd be lying if I claimed I didn't like and enjoy , if not necessarily all , then definitely parts , of this | This has got stuff going for it . It ignores the two sequels , and uses the Verhoeven movie as the basis ( it , in fact , appears to be in love with it , and uses it wherever possible , most noticeably in the spoken lines ) , that proves they had the right idea . The satire is also quite present ( albeit it tries too h... |
450,615 | 2,093,818 | 97,637 | 5 | Very average | I haven't seen a lot of " dog " movies , but I'm pretty sure most of the others are better than this . The plot is just the typical 90's action cop vs . drug-lord movie , and is absolutely nothing special and is not offering anything new . I found the dog very annoying , with nearly no redeeming qualities , at all . I ... |
450,844 | 2,093,818 | 424,774 | 5 | Hardly devoid of charm | As much as this is an indulgence , it is at least not the man himself , but his offspring and their dreams ( as stated in the very opening credits , removing any possible doubt as to that being the case or not ) . Whether or not such a thing can be made into something amazing , that is not the case here . Few will cont... |
450,644 | 2,093,818 | 95,687 | 5 | Possesses some charm , but is ultimately just a very poor entry | I'm not much for the 80's . I was too young to remember them ( was 4 when they ended ) , and listening to the music , looking at the hairstyles and watching the movies . . . it's just not the same . This particular brand of 80's comedy hits a particularly bad note with me ; the fish-out-of-the-water , combined with rid... |
450,113 | 2,093,818 | 212,235 | 5 | Surely not as bad as it's made out to be . . . but not particularly good either | After seeing this film for the second time , I have to wonder what I found so funny about it the first time ( since I did actually make it a mental note to watch it again ) . Maybe it's because I watched it with a friend . Maybe we were in such good moods that we were willing to take anything . Maybe we just both reall... |
449,967 | 2,093,818 | 118,747 | 5 | Has a lot the first didn't , but is missing what made that one what it was | I think that really says it . This is just lacking a certain something . It does have things that are new to the series , but are they positive , and / or do they fit ? I realize that Landis does fantasy sometimes , and , hey , I'm not saying that can't be great , it's not a genre I'm into , but I have enjoyed an effor... |
449,839 | 2,093,818 | 83,530 | 5 | Crash and burn | You know those movies that really don't need sequels ? Can you tell the Hollywood producers about that ? Abrahams and the two Zuckers , or ZAZ , agreed not to do this . Thus , they abandoned this , and evidently took almost all of the hilarity with them , whether or not they intended to do so . That left this with some... |
450,322 | 2,093,818 | 97,778 | 5 | Why would he have John Travolta's smile ? | Who was this film made for ? Can't be the kids , as much as they might enjoy all of the , albeit not really visually graphic , gross-out comedy , seeing as how there are some fairly intimidating sequences throughout ( and the language isn't exactly child-proof , either , though it could be worse ) . The focus is entire... |
450,369 | 2,093,818 | 91,223 | 5 | Ding dong , you're dead . " What ? No , I just dose off . Do me a favor and wake me up when the film is over . " | My friend and I sat down to watch this horror-comedy , hoping for something decent but expecting some awful . We were surprised , but I'm not sure if it was pleasantly so . What we got was something in-between the two aforementioned groups of expectation . It is horrible , sorry , I mean , it does contain horror , but ... |
450,768 | 2,093,818 | 85,636 | 5 | Entertaining enough , I suppose | After having seen all other films in the Halloween series , apart from Halloween 6 , I decided to check this film out , despite all the bad things I'd heard about it . I was surprised by the film , but it's hard to say if it was pleasantly , or , well , unpleasantly . The basic idea of the film is decent enough , but ,... |
450,153 | 2,093,818 | 277,371 | 5 | Juvenile , crude and just plain bad | Parody movies , or ' spoof movies ' , can be quite educational from time to time ; we learned from the 80's spoof movies , those starring Leslie Nielsen , that toilet humor and fart jokes were popular back then . We learned from the Scary Movie films that the Wayans ' truly are talentless ( well , technically , we alre... |
449,951 | 2,093,818 | 156,639 | 5 | Not particularly funny , not particularly entertaining , not particularly anything | When I sat down to see this film , I expected a mix of Drop Dead Gorgeous and The Drew Carey Show ( because of it being a mockumentary and it starring Craig Ferguson whom I know mainly from that show ) . I don't know exactly to describe what I got instead . The humor seems fairly thin , and based on clichés and stereot... |
450,668 | 2,093,818 | 297,181 | 5 | Been there , seen that | What is this new fad with making Hollywood movies out of old TV shows ? Mission Impossible , Wild Wild West and now this . They just don't work out well ; updates rarely work , unless the subject matter is timeless . The biggest problem with the remakes is that instead of referencing the original series , they try to m... |
450,365 | 2,093,818 | 124,038 | 5 | Terrorists in a small town ? Young , faceless teens to the rescue ! | First of all , this really has too little action to be classified as an action film . . . it should have been labeled ' thriller ' instead . Second , I haven't read the book nor have I seen the other version of this film . Now that we've gotten that out of the way , this is pretty much the typical Hollywood-like action... |
450,103 | 2,093,818 | 407,113 | 5 | Not really impressive or notable for any other reason than its accomplishments | Following some opening credits with several surnames for serious spelling bee competitors , I was hoping to be entertained . Or amused . Heck , a basic interest in this would have been acceptable . But the story moves so unevenly ( and the jumps back and forth render it much more complicated than this kind should be ) ... |
449,826 | 2,093,818 | 141,109 | 5 | Tries far too hard to be clever | I watched this film thinking that it was the half-cooked horror flick of the same name about a serial killing snowman ( yeah , I know , but it's one of those films where you just have to see it , just to find out if it's really as bad as it sounds ) . While it rather quickly became apparent to me that it wasn't , I dec... |
450,951 | 2,093,818 | 110,912 | 5 | Oh Quentin , Quentin . . . | This is probably the hardest movie for me to rate and review ; how do you review a film where about half of it is great , and the rest ( which pretty much means the other half ) is awful ? I decided to rate it a 5 , since that seems to be the sensible thing to do in this situation . Like a few others have said , Tarant... |
450,028 | 2,093,818 | 400,549 | 5 | Basically just far too buggy and dull to be worth playing through | This is a rather unusual title . I was attracted to it due to the name and story-line , when I found this available to borrow from the local library . The plot is decent , but it seems a bit far-fetched . . . Jack The Ripper showing up in New York thirteen years after the London killings , and starting a new massacre ?... |
