450,659 | 2,093,818 | 242,998 | 5 | Decent slasher , some good scares | The slasher genre were the new craze in the late 70's and throughout the 80's . In the early 90's , it pretty much died down . Then Scream came , in 1996 , and rejuvenated the genre with a film that was half-slasher , half a parody of slashers . Over the last few years , there have been quite a few slashers , most of t... |
450,593 | 2,093,818 | 427,038 | 5 | Hey , it could have been worse | I haven't read the book nor watched the original Carlito's Way . . . all I know about the latter is who stars and who directs that one , and I know even less than that about the novels . Perhaps that's why this didn't come off as being as awful as people seem to feel it was . . . no basis for comparison . The story isn... |
450,592 | 2,093,818 | 818,843 | 5 | For all the attempts at evoking such , there could have been more laughs | This is one of several NP2K films that was made by multiple of the site's frequenters . . . rather than , as usual , the frequenter and their own group ; a collaboration . This has ( from what I could tell from the credits , the editing of Eric Branco , but the listing here doesn't seem to agree ) the direction of Brya... |
450,108 | 2,093,818 | 105,428 | 5 | Clearly not a good movie , but not entirely void of entertainment value | I've never really been a fan of Stephen King . He always seems to write basically the same story , the same characters . . . and use the same scares . The movies based on his films are not always bad . . . but for the most part , they are even worse than his books . Mick Garris is the man who typically directs films of... |
450,564 | 2,093,818 | 113,071 | 5 | Barely watchable | This is a pretty worthless movie ; it pretty much only succeeds in turning the story of King Arthur and Camelot into a sappy romance . I can only say one positive thing about the movie at all ; the sword fights were sometimes well-choreographed . Apart from that , everything in the movie is incredibly average ; the act... |
449,795 | 2,093,818 | 120,725 | 5 | Not all bad . . . | Let me start by making one thing absolutely clear ; I watched this movie because of my growing interest in male teen actor Gregory Smith and my seemingly endless crush on Natasha Lyonne . I have seen one other film with Richard Dreyfuss in the lead ( What About Bob ) , so my expectations were sufficiently low . When I ... |
450,038 | 2,093,818 | 120,738 | 5 | Decent special effects for a bland , immature Disney sci-fi movie | When I sat down to watch this , I was expecting somewhat of a kid's movie . I just had no idea it was this bad . All of the humor , except maybe three lines , is incredibly immature , even more childish than the typical Disney humor . The plot is too complicated to understand for most kids , and too ridiculous to take ... |
450,863 | 2,093,818 | 116,365 | 5 | Somewhat original , with good atmosphere , but ultimately pointless and unsatisfying | First off , let's get one thing straight ; I hate Peter Jackson . It seems like everyone thinks he's god because he made the popular LOTR ( which I haven't seen , and don't plan to see ) films , and everyone forgets how many horrible films he made earlier in his career . I saw fifteen minutes or so of the zombie film h... |
449,883 | 2,093,818 | 301,470 | 5 | Better than the first , I guess . . . if by little more than an iota | I've never been a big fan of monster films , and after having seen the first , I merely watched this to see if it was as bad . Since the first concerned a truck-driving , winged monster who was " the devil , a demon or just some evil thing " with an affinity for oldies and eating people's body parts in an insect-like c... |
449,870 | 2,093,818 | 120,755 | 5 | Could have been so much better | I don't know , it starts out pretty good , with good chemistry between Cruise and Newton , but it slopes downwards quickly after about twenty minutes , and keeps heading down all the way through the movie . I don't know how all those action scenes near the end could possibly be so boring , but I guess it was just too s... |
451,011 | 2,093,818 | 285,761 | 5 | Seriously , what is the rush ? | This is found on the original , single-disc release of X-Men . It's essentially some behind-the-scenes footage , interviews and clips from the film itself , bookended by poorly staged scenes of senators addressed by Kelly in regards to mutants . Davison performs . Unfortunately . . . oh , where to begin ? While the act... |
450,460 | 2,093,818 | 95,294 | 5 | So bad , it's almost a parody of the first | I saw this again , earlier tonight , after having seen the first Hellraiser and really liked it . I have seen it once before , and that time I couldn't take it seriously . It's just so far-fetched and bizarre and poorly made that I couldn't help but laugh . Due to that being so long ago , and the fact that I had seen t... |
450,807 | 2,093,818 | 305,711 | 5 | Simply not funny | I remember the advertisements for this film . It never looked like a movie that I'd want to spend any energy or money getting to watch , so I never did . As it aired on TV tonight ( not even for the first time , either ) , I decided to give it a chance . The plot holds little originality , and it's not terribly interes... |
450,454 | 2,093,818 | 91,419 | 5 | Horror film ? A horrible film , yes , but not a horror film | I didn't find this movie to be any good , and it definitely held no scares or shocks ( as you can probably guess from my one line summary ) . In fact , I pretty much hated it . I didn't even watch a fourth of it attentively , and found every second that I did pay attention to , to be very , very bad and almost entirely... |
451,007 | 2,093,818 | 897,340 | 5 | Silly . . . but I guess it's fine for what it is | This presentation is featured on the DVD that comes with Command & Conquer : The First Decade , featuring the twelve games released up to that point in the franchise . There isn't an awful lot on the DVD , nor does it last particularly long ( in total , I would estimate that the entire contents of the DVD put together ... |
450,862 | 2,093,818 | 98,968 | 5 | Not particularly good , but decent , for a TV-movie | I haven't seen the original film , that this one is a remake of , but I guess it's better than this . This film is based on a true story , but I don't know how true to the facts it is . The plot is pretty good , but terribly predictable , partly due to the fact that the whole film is being told as a flashback . It's al... |
450,604 | 2,093,818 | 120,696 | 5 | Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water . . . on the street | Hard Rain . . . a film about a heist during the worst rain you can imagine all the while a dam is bursting . What does that make ? A heck of a lot of water , mainly . I don't believe there has been as much water in any other recent blockbuster , except for probably The Day After Tomorrow . As such , the water seems to ... |
451,009 | 2,093,818 | 173,771 | 5 | Good interviews , but could have been better produced | Having just finished watching this for the second ( and most likely last ) time , I can sadly clearly see why I gave up on it around the half-way point the first time ; as the credits rolled , I realized that I did not feel entertained or even informed . . . I merely felt relieved . Add to that the version I watched wa... |
450,665 | 2,093,818 | 271,352 | 5 | Very average | I have never watched the Action Man TV-series ; I only know the character from the line of toy figures . The first thing that strikes you about this game is how frighteningly average it is ; no effort whatsoever is made to pull the quality of the product above mediocrity . As a result , that's what it is . . . mediocre... |
449,937 | 2,093,818 | 120,591 | 5 | Barely managed to sit through this mess of special effects and general lack of anything else | After just barely sitting through this film , I can say with almost 100 % certainty that I will never even glimpse at one minute of this film , if I can avoid it . The film has a fair amount of explosions and what I imagine is expensive special effects , but generally lacks anything else . The film has little to no cha... |
450,988 | 2,093,818 | 99,052 | 5 | Boring , predictable , lacks any real suspense , intensity or comedy ; probably won't scare anyone who doesn't suffer from the title phobia | This is a very shoddily made horror / comedy film about toxic spiders . The film is so predictable and boring , that I doubt that anyone would be surprised or shocked by anything that takes place in the film . The attempts at horror fall flat ; I found myself often laughing at what I guess was supposed to be scary . Th... |
449,975 | 2,093,818 | 365,473 | 5 | Not bad | This is , essentially , an interview with James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger , inter-cut with some stills and a little footage from the film . The two talk about the experience of creating The Terminator together , and Cameron describes where , when and why he thought up the concept , as well as how different the ... |
449,868 | 2,093,818 | 308,208 | 5 | A few lessons in professional filmmaking . . . | 1 # : A lot of explosions DON'T make an action movie . Not even a bad one . 2 # : When you're writing a script , try to keep the cliche-count low . Reasonably low , at least . 3 # : At least TRY to make interesting characters , they help in making the movie good . Apart from what I've written above , the movie is decen... |
450,738 | 2,093,818 | 112,896 | 5 | Far too few of the gags and jokes actually work , and I for one am saddened to see that Mel Brooks has taken the Zucker brothers ' route to comedy | To say that I expected a lot from this film would at best be half a truth . . . after all , Leslie Nielsen has a major role in it , and he's never made me laugh before . But then again , this was written and directed by Mel Brooks , who usually makes me laugh quite a lot . But somehow , he just doesn't cut it this time... |
451,021 | 2,093,818 | 116,168 | 5 | Big Whoop | I remember passing up many an opportunity to watch this film . . . I would catch commercials stating that it would air within days , I never made a point of watching it ( in fact , I rather made one of missing it ) . Tonight , I saw it ( as the famous line in Spaceballs goes ) for the first time , for the last time . T... |
450,513 | 2,093,818 | 91,799 | 5 | A decent sequel | After having seen the wonder of the first Psycho , and the mediocre horror-film reminiscent of contemporary slashers that was Psycho II , I was looking forward to seeing this , the third installation to the series . I am not exactly disappointed by it , as I wasn't really expecting anything particularly good . It's dec... |
450,325 | 2,093,818 | 239,395 | 5 | Nice special effects , but only really funny for kids | I didn't think I'd really enjoy this movie , it being apparently a kids movie , but I have to say the effects are pretty good , and some of the spy stuff is pretty good too . A very little part of the humor is good too , but I wouldn't watch it just for the humor ( unless I was a kid ) . This movie is mainly a kids mov... |
450,121 | 2,093,818 | 402,471 | 5 | At least it wasn't a very long stay | Two half seasons , amounting to just over one whole season ( if going by the 22-24 amount that seems to be the usual for American television series ) . That's what this show got . I wish I could claim that it's that tough to determine why . The problem is that this just really doesn't have that much to offer . Original... |
449,963 | 2,093,818 | 69,995 | 5 | Well , at least they were honest and kind enough to put a warning in the title | I cannot claim that I ever got into this one . After starting with a scene the ending of which is so obvious that one wonders why they bothered putting it in , this continues at a pace that can best be described as drab , and with a basic idea so " been there , done that " that there are clichés going " oh , come on " ... |
449,979 | 2,093,818 | 289,848 | 5 | We comedy-fans are grieving . . . it's a process . The way sucking the fun out of this film must have been | In case you are wondering about my one line summary . . . it's based on a gag in the film . And it's so much of a running gag that they must've had that thing training for a marathon before they made the movie . I'm not kiddin ' , it's said the better part of a dozen times , in a 90-minute movie . Now , I grant that th... |
449,814 | 2,093,818 | 111,161 | 5 | Tedious , overlong , with " hope " being the second word spoken in just about every sentence . . . who cares ? | I simply fail to understand how this film is so popular . . . it's quite simply beyond me . The only way I can explain it is that all the fans of King's short story found it very true to the spirit of the book , and voted 10 for that . I really could not find anything worth my time in this film , and apart from a very ... |
450,088 | 2,093,818 | 155,776 | 5 | An OK black comedy | This was a little too far out and boring , it has it's moments , but mostly it's just one long lesson in " how to be one of the cool girls in high school " . The plot is pretty far-fetched , but does allow a few very funny , very black moments . The acting is pretty good , mostly . The plot seemed to try to get going r... |
449,882 | 2,093,818 | 295,700 | 5 | Not bad , but not good either | This is an average teen slasher , where the main characters are chased by what seems to be mutant hillbilly inbred psycho cannibalistic killers ( yes , seriously ) . They run around in the woods , chased by aforementioned inbreds . There is not really any surprises in this , it uses the usual shock scares rather than r... |
450,537 | 2,093,818 | 124,718 | 5 | Decent | First of all , I'd just like to make clear that I haven't seen any other Spike Lee films , and I mainly saw it because of Milla Jovovich . Maybe that's why I found it to be decent at best . . . maybe I should have seen some other Spike Lee films first , to get used to his style . Or maybe I shouldn't have expected Mill... |
450,952 | 2,093,818 | 80,707 | 5 | Entertaining little vigilante action flick | This film starts out with a bang . . . literally . We see a huge explosion . Then one more . And another one . And yet another one . . . and this goes on for a while ; I don't know exactly how many explosions there are , just in the first two minutes , but the movie wastes no time , that's for sure . Then there are a f... |
450,274 | 2,093,818 | 389,097 | 5 | The illegitimate child of Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers , standing in the shadow of its considerably more accomplished parents | Bryan Harley and his crew , AMF productions . . . they've brought some quite entertaining , and often rather competently done , short films to those of us who care to watch . This one seems a bit . . . " early effort " , it's a nice try , but it has its shortcomings . The plot isn't particularly captivating or memorabl... |
450,450 | 2,093,818 | 165,831 | 5 | Standard comedy ; some laughs , quickly forgotten | I must admit , when I sat down to watch this , I was pleasantly surprised ; it was funnier than I had imagined . . . however , with my expectations being very , very low , it doesn't really mean that the film is anything more than average . A pretty good amount of laughs , but nothing memorable . The ending seemed to b... |
450,112 | 2,093,818 | 199,753 | 5 | So , terror lies in outer space . . . what else is new ? | I sat down to watch this movie , almost praying ( I'm not a religious man . . . but if I was , I would have been praying ) that this wasn't going to be yet another one of those run-of-the-mill sci-fi flicks that tries to convince us that the danger will come from outer space . . . it's not enough to blame other people ... |
450,688 | 2,093,818 | 111,255 | 5 | Just not good , no matter how you look at it . . . | I have seen this film more times than I've bothered to count . . . meaning , at least twice ( had you going there , didn't I ? Bet you thought I had seen it hundreds of times ) . Yes , twice that I'm sure of . You know how I know ? Because I recognized one scene . One scene . 110 minutes worth of film , and I recognize... |
449,780 | 2,093,818 | 119,825 | 5 | Disney-fied far too much ; decent at best | Just when you thought Disney had ruined enough classics , they pounce like a predator on the brilliant work of Charles Dickens , Oliver Twist , and turns a great story into a cheap family / children's tale . Now , I haven't read the entire book , but I read much of it when I was younger , and what I remember was defini... |
450,110 | 2,093,818 | 190,865 | 5 | Plenty of pretty pictures , nothing of interest | I originally saw this in theaters and couldn't really remember any of it , when I recently heard it was going to be on TV . All I remember was a distinct sense of disappointment . Having just watched it again , I now know exactly why ; there's really nothing in this film to justify its existence . There's some nice vis... |
450,068 | 2,093,818 | 338,526 | 5 | Definitely not great , but surely not as bad as some claim | This is a movie about the well-known famed monsters of the 1800's , mainly Dracula , The Wolfman and The Frankenstein Monster . While the original movies , and pretty much every movie about one of these creatures is a horror movie ; this is , however , just a comic book movie that features them , and Dracula's nemesis ... |
449,939 | 2,093,818 | 245,943 | 5 | A decent spoof of The Blair Witch Project | When reviewing this film , it's hard not to be at least a little biased ; there are people who love some of the hip-hop / rap artists in this film , and hate the rest , there are some who hate all of them ( and the entire rap music genre ) , and then there are the few who love all of them ( I guess , though I've never ... |
450,451 | 2,093,818 | 111,438 | 5 | Standard stuff , in a slightly original package | While the theme and basic idea behind this film is somewhat original , the film itself is just the typical Van Damme action cliché-fest . They just threw in some science fiction and time-traveling to make it seem fresh and new . The idea of criminals committing crimes " in the past " is kind of good , but the futuristi... |
450,960 | 2,093,818 | 115,927 | 5 | Dark , but too corny | When someone takes such a good idea . . . a man who decides to break the ten commandments in order to spite god . . . and creates a movie out of it , I tend to sit up and pay attention . I won't lie , part of me watching this was in order to enjoy watching someone mocking religion ( me being a lifelong Atheist ) , at l... |
450,881 | 2,093,818 | 386,789 | 5 | For die-hard Simpsons fans only . . . and it helps to be uncritical | In an attempt to make money off of two popular franchises . . . those being the GTA and The Simpsons series . . . this game was ( poorly ) made . Now , I've been a fan of The Simpsons for the better part of my life . And I liked the original GTA , as well as Vice City . But this is just awful on so many levels . The ga... |
450,462 | 2,093,818 | 100,514 | 5 | At best , worth a single viewing , if even that | It's no surprise to see a formulaic , by-the-numbers action exploitation flick like this ; the surprise is that even with Clint Eastwood in the directing chair , it ends up being completely pointless . As well as directing , he also stars in the film , in a role that pretty much screams ' Dirty Harry ' , and is hurt by... |
451,014 | 2,093,818 | 371,358 | 5 | No , I'm not sure what it's about , either | When a production is confused and doesn't know what it is about , one can't really blame the audience for finding themselves stumped , and not being certain what it's supposed to be . This special , located on the X-Men 1 . 5 DVD , released in 2003 , starts with a handful of brief parts of the actors in the film , esse... |
450,521 | 2,093,818 | 95,956 | 5 | When blandness hits | No more Mr . First Blood guy . Perhaps taking that out of the title was a signal to any potential viewers that they were going away from what this series started out as ( not that they didn't at least start to with the second one ) . They didn't even keep entirely to the guerrilla war-fare in this . They add a kid who ... |
450,544 | 2,093,818 | 98,382 | 5 | William , get out of that chair , who let you sit in it ? | Special Collector's Edition review . I imagine one thing could be widely agreed on . . . Shatner should not direct again ( and I'm not just referring to the many odd and / or downright misleading , confusing bits ) . Some might add " perform spoken word " , and certain might say " do fake pain " . I understand that he ... |
450,664 | 2,093,818 | 305,357 | 5 | Just when you thought sequels were as bad as they would get . . . | Judging from just how poor the first film was , I'd have guessed it set the tone . I suppose it did , but I'd never have imagined the sequel to be even worse . The odd thing is , the film is basically exactly the same . It's like Terminator 2 ; just enough things are changed around in order to make it an actual sequel ... |
450,912 | 2,093,818 | 371,397 | 5 | What , were you expecting an answer to that question ? | This featurette is found on some DVDs for The Matrix , and one of the 10 discs in the Ultimate release . One has to wonder what the point particularly is of this , and if they by the title are referring to concept art , as that is one of the two things this consists of that aren't simply clips from the movie , for comp... |
450,596 | 2,093,818 | 203,941 | 5 | Average at best | I didn't really care for this mystery-thriller at all . . . it barely has anything that gives the viewer a good reason to watch it . The ending scene has a little intensity , but it is badly filmed , as is the rest of the film , so the small amount of intensity there is , is lost in bad cuts and lousy camera work . Apa... |
450,174 | 2,093,818 | 132,910 | 5 | There's a new bird in town . . . it's remarkably similar , though unlike it's predecessor , its quality doesn't quite soar | I watched this before the original The Crow . In fact , I'm not sure I realized that this was part of a series , much less the third part . Now , having watched the original ( I have not seen the second movie ) , comparisons are unavoidable , and they are , I'm afraid , entirely and mercilessly unfavorable . This " get... |
449,978 | 2,093,818 | 398,937 | 5 | Does what it's supposed to | This featurette consists of four sit-down interviews , shown one by one , inter-cut with a few pieces of artwork , stills from production , behind the scenes video and footage from the movie itself . One interviewee also spends a minute or two describing his work on the subway scene while he shows the audience the anim... |
450,702 | 2,093,818 | 280,380 | 5 | No real purpose | You know what I like about films ? You know what makes me consider ( some ) movies to be art ? It's the way they're unique , or at the very least have potential to be . When you paint or take pictures , you're limited to a visual representation . When you make music , it's audible . Writing , it's the story and the rea... |
450,104 | 2,093,818 | 179,477 | 5 | Stylish and entertaining , but definitely not without noticeable flaws | When you hear the name Dolph Lundgren , you rarely think of quality films . I can't off the top of my head name one single good film I've seen him in . However , you can usually count on him being a good lead in the typical more-Braun-than-brain action-flick . This film is a tad bit uneven , but it doesn't deserve its ... |
450,214 | 2,093,818 | 369,281 | 5 | Just barely watchable for non-fans | Before I saw this , I thought it wouldn't matter much if I didn't know the characters beforehand . I was wrong . I could barely follow the story , which annoyed me , since it was so simple that it hurts . The plot is OK , but unless you're a fan of Bionicle , you won't really care about it ; it spends too little time t... |
450,395 | 2,093,818 | 454,945 | 5 | Just tries way too hard | I wanted to like this film . I really did . Despite loathing soccer , not caring much for ' mixup ' comedies and just generally not being terribly nuts about seeing this , I truly tried . The plot is a mess . There are under ( and un - ) developed subplots all over the place . The mix-ups are too plentiful and overwhel... |
450,970 | 2,093,818 | 117,894 | 5 | Not the worst King adaption , but definitely not the best either | From what I've heard , this is a fairly faithful adaption of the Stephen King story of the same name , but I've never read the book myself . The plot is decent , but somewhat ridiculous . . . and the pacing is awful . I was bored for most of the other half of this movie , despite it only being about 90 minutes long . T... |
450,459 | 2,093,818 | 133,046 | 5 | My advice ? Skip this one | After hearing nothing conclusive about this film , I borrowed it from a friend to see if it was good or not . I popped it in the DVD player , pushed play , and was immediately hit with a teeny-popper song . . . before the production company titles had even begun ! I don't believe I've ever experienced a film digging it... |
450,565 | 2,093,818 | 198,021 | 5 | A very average drama | I have to admit , I expected a little better for a Natalie Portman movie ; sure , she's not the best actress out there , but she usually gives believable performances , and portray interesting characters . This seemed like it started out as a joke , but then the script-writer ( s ? ) decided to throw in some drama , wi... |
450,955 | 2,093,818 | 328,107 | 5 | Why , Tony , why ? | Having not really seen any other Tony Scott films than Enemy of the State , I didn't entirely know what to expect from his new revenge / vigilante action-drama , but the trailers looked so darn promising , so I thought , " what the heck . . . can't be all bad . . . " Believe me , I've learned my lesson ; never judge a ... |
450,770 | 2,093,818 | 250,224 | 5 | Eh . . . average , I guess | Since this has just about every conceivable teen flick stereotype and just about every teen drama cliche there is , it's kind of hard to take it seriously . The story is just the typical " unaccepted romance " , with the happy ending which is in plain sight of everyone but the most naive of viewers , less than two minu... |
450,973 | 2,093,818 | 391,214 | 5 | Makes for a good watch , once or twice | After buying the collectors edition of From Dusk Till Dawn ( mainly to see Full Tilt Boogie , which was also featured in it ) , I saw this nice little documentary . It has some very good interview bits with the various actors and crew-members , but all in all , it's mainly just the actors and crew-members expressing th... |
450,693 | 2,093,818 | 84,522 | 5 | An unimpressive entry in a genre that is plagued by lack of quality | The raunchy teen comedy . . . one of the few genres where good film-making is such a rarity , you would wonder if it exists within it at all . I've seen my share of these films , most of them when I was younger and the tone appealed to me . . . but once you get over the age of 18 , it's hard to look back and not consid... |
450,317 | 2,093,818 | 84,538 | 5 | Please , someone , help this film figure out what it wants to be | Really , the film is as confused as some would argue the cross-dressing military units are . I'm not a fan of John Cleese . That's hardly a secret . I tolerate him on Monty Python , and I will grant that he can entertain , but as a general rule , I don't exactly make it a point to seek out his work ( though I do not ma... |
450,518 | 2,093,818 | 115,610 | 5 | What's that boy ? There's a Lycanthrop in our backyard ? | I have not read the novel , nor do I particularly intend to . It isn't too difficult to tell that this is basically ( that would be completely fine , if it was just , you know , good ) a dog movie ( right down to the usual near-ending scene of such ) , with the addition of a werewolf . That likes to play with its food ... |
450,684 | 2,093,818 | 241,760 | 5 | Not really anything special . . . | When you know a movie is being directed by someone who has never directed before ( and hasn't since ) , you know not to expect anything great . This teen flick is no exception . Wait , teen flick ? This movie isn't even R-rated . . . it's PG-13 . In other words , it's far , far tamer than most of the crude sex comedies... |
450,040 | 2,093,818 | 107,843 | 5 | Maybe I should have seen the original instead | This movie is only average , and it's only even barely average . As an action movie , it's pretty weak . Only one actual shoot-out sequence , and too much Hollywood in the other action scenes ; huge explosions , overuse of slow-motion , etc . As a drama , it's very weak too . The drama doesn't really turn up in the mov... |
449,907 | 2,093,818 | 366,174 | 5 | And this time . . . it's plural | Just when you thought it was safe to travel into the jungle . This sequel to a movie that was bad enough on its own manages to be utterly uninteresting , and shows already in its second scene , a brief attempt to justify taking a trip to one of the most dangerous places in the world today , that this is purely a film f... |
450,240 | 2,093,818 | 115,696 | 5 | More of the same , for better or for worse | If you've seen or are planning to see this film , chances are you've already seen the first . If not , I suggest you go see that , even if you only have the chance to see one of them . It's better and it basically lays the foundation for this film . This has more silliness and less style than the first , and one will b... |
450,694 | 2,093,818 | 291,777 | 5 | Average at best | These Disney Action Games have never been known for their high quality , but this seems to be a new low . Control is awful , camera is painfully bad , sound is poor and game-play is all over the place , random and barely making sense . Since I haven't seen the film , I can't say if the story faithfully follows it , but... |
449,918 | 2,093,818 | 123,294 | 5 | Not as good as its predecessor , but decent | After having seen Nitten Røde Roser ( 19 Red Roses ) , I found this movie , the sequel to it , and was interested , due to 19 Red Roses being fairly good for a Danish movie ( from the 70's , no less ) . Unfortunately , it's not entirely as good , partly due to the story being far less interesting and the unrealisticall... |
449,896 | 2,093,818 | 278,435 | 5 | Well , I got what I was expecting . . . | We like thrillers . We especially like thrillers if they end with the clear bad guy being killed by the clear good guy , and it's good if the good guy is so good that we can't bear the thought of him / her dying , and the bad guy is so bad that we can't bear the thought of him / her surviving . Oh yes , we like contras... |
450,346 | 2,093,818 | 1,018,686 | 5 | Does what it's supposed to | This is an eight-minute special about the vehicles of Batman & Robin , featured on the 2-Disc Special Edition DVD release of said film . It could have moved faster , but it's fine , I suppose , paced alright . Editing is about the same . The only one of the stars of the film featured ( as in , interviewed , talking to ... |
450,539 | 2,093,818 | 96,754 | 5 | Water , water , everywhere , and . . . absolutely nothing else | First of all , I don't care too much for water . . . especially not as a plot item in movies . The whole drowning / submerged thing has just been used too much , and I can't help but think about how the appropriate reaction next time I see something where a character is about to drown is to calmly , perhaps in a Britis... |
450,067 | 2,093,818 | 119,304 | 5 | Switches to much back and forth between romantic and black comedy | I don't know what exactly went wrong with this film ; I guess they wanted to make a comedy , and they couldn't figure out whether to make it a romantic comedy or a black comedy . It could perhaps have been both , but that would require for it to start out as both . It starts out only as a black comedy , and the romance... |
450,442 | 2,093,818 | 205,000 | 5 | Juvenile comedy with little to no charm or redeeming features | Rob Schneider just doesn't have the charisma or charm to be a leading man . There , I said it . He and Adam Sandler ( who gets by on similar humor , but does better due to him looking as much as a child as he acts like ) have been making these juvenile crude comedies for a while . . . I haven't bothered to count , and ... |
450,177 | 2,093,818 | 107,952 | 5 | Some good , some bad | Disney's first direct-to-video sequel . . . a rather dubious honor , surely . It is , apparently ( I haven't watched very many of them . . . this one was given to me ) , one of the few Disney sequels that is actually a direct sequel , rather than the story of the kids of the main character or characters of the original... |
450,386 | 2,093,818 | 102,220 | 5 | Decent plot , marred by awful acting | For this type of thriller , this movie is entirely average . The plot and overall theme is decent enough , but the film loses any potential it might have by featuring such lousy acting . Even Max von Sydow , who is a veteran and is normally an excellent actor was disappointing in this . The only actor who did even a de... |
450,999 | 2,093,818 | 467,197 | 5 | For some , this will have a bunch going for it | I've played both VG's , several times through , and I enjoy them . I don't think many are going to argue that this has a lot of atmosphere , almost every moment of it , and builds mood , often rather well . There are a couple of real nice visuals in this , and the overall look and feel is achieved almost invariably suc... |
449,957 | 2,093,818 | 469,111 | 5 | The qualities even out to about average | Following an intro that tries way too hard to be creepy ( and really , really doesn't succeed ) , " Always " begins . . . and largely continues the over-stylization ( for my money , this fares much better during the fairly few attempts at a more " classic " approach to horror ) . This isn't entirely a sequel to the fir... |
450,093 | 2,093,818 | 117,723 | 5 | Decent spoof movie | This at first appeared to be a spoof of James Bond , but in actuality it spoofs a lot of different movies ; this could probably have worked , but unfortunately , most of the gags are not very funny . The few gags that did work for me were the spoofs of Pulp Fiction and Home Alone , but apart from those , most were not ... |
450,497 | 2,093,818 | 119,395 | 5 | We don't need to make fun of Hollywood and its movies . . . they both do that just fine by themselves | I suppose this one is just easier to enjoy if you know nothing about the original version , and / or the novel from whence that film came . I say " that " , and not " these " , because beyond the title ( which , it should be noted , Fred Zimmerman , R . I . P . , the director of the 1973 version , fought to change on t... |
450,064 | 2,093,818 | 100,240 | 5 | Nowhere near as amazing as the first | Considering that the first is a masterpiece of fantasy / adventure that can be viewed by all ages , I'm amazed at how dumbed down and childish this is . The first had humor , but it was humor that everyone could enjoy ; this one has unbelievably childish humor , that only , and I do mean only , kids can enjoy . In fact... |
450,341 | 2,093,818 | 218,864 | 5 | Stupid , juvenile and predictable | Just when I thought I'd seen the worst teen-oriented romantic comedies . . . this baby hits me . And when I say hit , I mean like a dropkick to my stomach . You may think you've seen it all , but you haven't seen this . . . and you should consider yourself lucky . Like Walt Becker's previous directing attempt ( which w... |
450,978 | 2,093,818 | 208,988 | 5 | Pure Stallone vehicle . . . no real substance | After having seen this about a year , maybe a year and a half ago , I couldn't remember that much of it , except that it wasn't particularly good . I've heard many say that the original ' 71 version is much better . . . believe me , I'll take your word for it , as it can't be much worse than this . Stallone can't reall... |
449,921 | 2,093,818 | 179,183 | 5 | Fortress 2 : this time , Lambert is in space | Christopher Lambert ; the king of newer B-movies . The guy has been in every ( I think ) Highlander movie so far , despite the fact that only the first was particularly popular . He's done so many B-movies that one has to wonder if he is aware that the films are bad and doesn't care , or if he really doesn't realize th... |
449,998 | 2,093,818 | 104,291 | 5 | Just average | When I first saw Elijah Wood , I don't remember if it was in one of the trailers for The Lord of The Rings , or if it was in the awful Disney version of Oliver Twist , I almost instantly loathed him . I loathed him for every possible conceivable reason there could ever be for loathing another human being ( almost , any... |
450,453 | 2,093,818 | 179,148 | 5 | The Holocaust For Dummies or : How I Learned to Pay Attention and Care About the Prosecution of Jews | This film is very basic stuff ; the dream / time-travel theme , the typical war-drama clichés , etc . The whole film is just so bland and and the way it handles the serious subject . . . I don't know , it's just like a . . . Schindler's List Light ; you get the important subject and a few well-known actors , but withou... |
450,966 | 2,093,818 | 218,817 | 5 | A movie that just fails on so many levels . . . | I've read a good deal of the reviews of the film on this site . Most either claim that the film is an attack on Microsoft and Bill Gates or that it's a mindless popcorn flick . There is some that claim that the attack is justified , while some say it's exaggerated and too obvious . Personally , I'll have to go with a m... |
450,207 | 2,093,818 | 395,728 | 5 | No , I won't do an obvious " score " pun here | This is a special feature on the second disc of the 2-Disc DVD release of the second X-Men film , X2 , and it deals with the music of said motion picture . The majority of this is interview bits with John Ottman , as he talks about his type of score , who and what are his inspirations , and , the definite high point of... |
450,750 | 2,093,818 | 311,429 | 5 | Entertaining , but not for purists or those looking for more than just that . . . entertainment | An action film set in Victorian England . A movie based on a masterful graphic novel by a man of undeniable talent in the art of writing them . Sounds interesting , and as if it has quite a bit of potential . The movie could have been worse . . . and it's definitely entertaining . Directed by the man behind the first B... |
450,498 | 2,093,818 | 99,875 | 5 | Yes sir , we will proceed . . . it's just that none of the teams sent to discover redeeming qualities have been successful . | Now , it's not really that this has absolutely nothing to offer . . . it's really more that it takes an idea with such massive promise , and not only fails to deliver , but actually ruins parts , adds and changes without doing anything , at least positive . I have not read the original by Stevenson , but I am not certa... |
450,579 | 2,093,818 | 368,576 | 5 | I wish I could claim that I liked this | On the Animatrix disc , this is the sixth short . I'm sorry to say , but this is my least favorite . I can appreciate that the animation is interesting and different . The concept is definitely deserving of attention . The voice acting is very good . However , with all the time spent on back-story , and an execution th... |
449,916 | 2,093,818 | 339,385 | 5 | Just when you thought it was safe to go back to Danish cinema . . . | Midsummer ( or Midsommer , as it is called in Danish ) . What an astoundingly unremarkable attempt at a horror flick . Danish films are very rarely any good at all , and our horror films are probably the biggest embarrassments . I decided to check this film out , as a friend of mine had it , and I could borrow it for f... |
450,762 | 2,093,818 | 102,045 | 5 | I would think that even Chuck Norris has standards , but , apparently , I was wrong | I can't say very much positive about this film ; it's pretty much the typical , average action film , but it has so many horrendously bad parts and so unbelievably few good parts that it can only just be classified as average . Had it been slightly worse , it wouldn't even have gotten the 5 I'm giving it , which is eve... |
450,848 | 2,093,818 | 127,378 | 5 | So , who's interior decorator ? | While the sum of this admittedly comes out to about average , it is not without aspects worth noting . I haven't seen the original classics based on the books , nor the film called the same as this . A pretty good job is done of basing the characters on the novels , from what I know of them . The three creatures / type... |
450,563 | 2,093,818 | 109,813 | 5 | Just when you thought your childhood memories were safe . . . | Is Hollywood ever going to stop remaking old classics , or turning old cartoons into live-action films ? I was never a big fan of The Flintstones , but the show did have charm , and was decent children's entertainment . This doesn't , and it isn't . The film starts off with a poorly acted scene that acts as a prologue ... |
