473,659 | 11,423,174 | 659,619 | 3 | pretty boring and lame | this is an episode of the New Scooby Doo movies from 1972 . it has Scooby and the gang meeting up with the Harlem Globe Trotters and running into a mystery , ( naturally ) with ghosts , and a sea serpent . this episode is very slow and and the story is kinda lame . there's a few good lines courtesy of the Globe Trotter... |
473,892 | 11,423,174 | 263,488 | 3 | forget this one , check out the superior sequel instead | i actually commented on the sequel to this movie , thinking i would never bother to write a comment on this one . the sequel is actually not bad , but the original is not so good . i found it boring and mean spirited even for a so called horror movie . it doesn't really make a lot of sense either . and i found it depre... |
473,231 | 11,423,174 | 117,420 | 3 | oh , brother | i hate to say this , but this movie is dumb , even for a Van Damme flick . the story is stupid and slow and has no flow at all . the fight scenes are nothing special , similar to blood sport but pale in comparison . Roger Moore is in this one , and may be the only good thing about this mess . and just once , is it too ... |

473,578 | 11,423,174 | 75,200 | 3 | a real dog | while i didn't mind the original The Shaggy Dog ( 1959 ) , i thought this sequel was not too good . i found it way too silly and absurd , and not realistic . by that , i'm not talking about the premise , a man transforms into a dog . that i can accept as being within the confines of the movie . what i found unrealistic... |
473,530 | 11,423,174 | 329,717 | 3 | no comedic chemistry between Ford and Hartnett | i was so disappointed with this movie . a buddy cop film with Josh Hartnett and Harrison Ford should have had potential , shouldn't it ? Ford and Hartnett play two cops who are partners and who also have second hobs to make ends meet or to have financial independence . they are called in to investigate the murder of a ... |
472,725 | 11,423,174 | 119,640 | 3 | close to awful | i had high hopes for this movie before watching it . but , maybe i shouldn't have . after all , it does star Tom Arnold . some of the films he is in are OK , especially where he is not the main character . but this one , not so much . it's billed as a comedy , but that entails laughter . it's based on the 1962 series o... |
473,573 | 11,423,174 | 122,933 | 3 | i guess the dramatic parts are alright ( i could have worn this was marketed as a comedy ) | i'm sorry to say , that as a comedy , this movie isn't funny . there are maybe one or two somewhat amusing scenes , otherwise , there's not much here to laugh about . the movie is basically about a crime lord ( Robert Deniro ) who decides he needs a psychiatrist to get in touch with his inner feelings . turns out , he'... |
473,375 | 11,423,174 | 38,284 | 3 | poor western | this western / musical / comedy is not one of the best of the genre i have seen . i found it much too slow . it just plodded along to the inevitable end . i also found it disjointed . i couldn't wait for it to be over . Randolph Scott is the headliner here , and Lloyd Bridges also stars . but for my money money Edgar B... |
473,605 | 11,423,174 | 82,782 | 3 | instead of dumb teens as victims , we have dumb adults who should know better | for a slasher / horror movie , this one has very little graphic gore , compared to many of the genre . this kinda surprised me while watching it . but then i read a user comment saying that the censors really butchered this one , forcing the filmmaker to leave out a lot of gore . anyway . . . one thing which really sto... |
473,468 | 11,423,174 | 462,482 | 4 | very interesting premise ; script does not do it justice | this is an interesting tale as far as ghost stories go . i won't go into the plot because i don't want to give anything away . unfortunately , the premise is interesting , but the rest of the movie plods along at a snail's pace . there is next to no action . the story is very dialogue driven and not enough is done with... |
472,703 | 11,423,174 | 388,419 | 4 | i'd watch it on cable or as a cheap rental first | my sister and i just watched this movie yesterday , so i thought i would put in my two cents . she liked it more than i did . i didn't think it was very funny . in fact , i never laughed once . but i did think it was passable entertainment , for the most part . a few times i did get bored though . i just found it hard ... |
473,672 | 11,423,174 | 89,961 | 4 | for a movie base on joyous occasion , i didn't find it very joyous | i don't know what to think about this movie . i didn't hate it but i didn't really like it either . here's why . i thought the whole atmosphere of the the movie was sad , almost depressing at times . and i felt the music overpowered the movie at times . it just got to be a bit too much . normally the colour scheme of a... |
473,437 | 11,423,174 | 118,604 | 4 | if you liked An American Werewolf in London , . . . ( ) | you will likely be sorely disappointed by this sequel that's not a sequel . AWIL is a classic . but this movie is about as far from being a classic as you can get . what a joke . special effects that aren't very special , horrible dialogue , non acting . and a laughably ridiculous subplot quickly and unconvincingly , (... |
473,376 | 11,423,174 | 39,152 | 4 | substandard John Wayne western | this western is more of a character study than anything else , and a romance . there isn't a lot of action . it's not the worst movie i have seen , but i do felt it went on too long . i felt it was too tedious . there were several times when i thought it was over , and could / should have been over , but it kept going ... |
472,686 | 11,423,174 | 455,362 | 4 | think Cujo but with more and smarter dogs | this movie has elements of other movies , some better ( Cujo , Man's Best friend ) some not as good ( Rottweiler ) . the idea of a group of people stranded on an island and fighting for their lives is nothing new , either . this particular movie doesn't really add anything new to the genre . it's also pretty slow , wit... |
472,952 | 11,423,174 | 158,242 | 4 | felt more like a romance movie than anything else | i didn't really like this movie . i found it too boring and slow , without much of a pay off . also , to me it was more of a romance movie than anything . there are a couple good scenes of some twisters , but not enough . the acting was okay , i guess , but not spectacular . of all the movies of this genre i've watched... |
473,915 | 11,423,174 | 83,598 | 4 | boring ! boring ! | this Al Pacino vehicle didn't do much for me . Pacino plays a playwright struggling with writing his latest play , while dealing with all kinds of personal issues . i found it boring , boring , and more boring . i just didn't see the point of it all . to say it's moves at a sedate pace is an understatement . it hardly ... |
472,650 | 11,423,174 | 116,629 | 4 | great potential , but suffers from too many flaws | independence day looked like it could be a good , even great movie . it has great actors , and loads of action . it also has some humour courtesy will smith and jeff goldblum . goldblum is the perfect straight man for smith's witty quips and one liners and even ads a bit of his own brand of comedy to the mix . these tw... |
473,226 | 11,423,174 | 106,965 | 4 | i expected something more , but young kids will probably like it | i kinda expected something else . what , i'm not sure . i mean the movie is well made and all , but i found it dangerously close to being boring at times . it is pretty slow . the scenes with the whale ( s ) were nice though . and the there are some pretty touching moments . i didn't find the movie had a lot of realism... |
473,479 | 11,423,174 | 85,750 | 4 | pretty tedious ( painfully at times ) | before anything else , i should mention that this movie was originally in 3d , but on this disk , the movie is not in 3d . the " Jaws " series falters quite a bit , with this entry . i found the story too hokey for my taste . this movie also strays from the formula of the first two , opting for me spectacle and noise t... |
473,162 | 11,423,174 | 318,627 | 4 | faster pace , more action than the first , still not that great | i guess this movie is better than the first Resident Evil . there is more action and a bit of humour , which is sorely lacking in the first one . and i like the characters more in this one . i think it was a better mix of personalities . what i didn't like is the story . this one is more about the action and there is q... |
473,919 | 11,423,174 | 493,459 | 4 | i found it mildly entertaining , and informative to a point | for me , this film was mildly entertaining at best . it has a lot of information , but how accurate it is , is any body's guess . the filmmakers have their view on things , and so the film probably reflects their views . i'm sure a lot of what they show and say is accurate to a point , but i think some things you have ... |
473,335 | 11,423,174 | 63,035 | 4 | huh . . . | i had read a lot of comments saying this was a terrible movie , that depicted the Green Berets in an inaccurate lite . i don't know too much about that subject , but i did watch the movie , and i was disappointed . i thought it was a real mess . tonally speaking , it was all over the place , at times lightly comedic , ... |
473,099 | 11,423,174 | 891,527 | 4 | could have been so much better | i didn't particularly think much of this movie . there isn't really a lot of substance to it . at times it feels like a recruitment ad more than movie . and i also found it a bit too preachy , yet i don't quite know what kind of message it was trying to send . really it was sending mixed messages . basically , i found ... |
472,697 | 11,423,174 | 306,047 | 4 | boring , tedious and unfunny ( ) | i don't know where to begin with this movie . i mean it isn't as sick as number two , but it is less funny than one or two . it's not as low brow , but there aren't really any laughs here . i found it quite boring and tedious , for the most part . there were some parts that may have been intended as being funny , but t... |
473,727 | 11,423,174 | 99,316 | 4 | too talky and slow ( ) | i wanted to like this movie , and i really tied . but in the end , i just couldn't justify it . it's billed as a comedy , except it's not funny . or even amusing . i will say that the two lead actors , Daryl Hannah and Dudley Moore are appealing , as are their characters . but the movie is just too slow and talky for m... |
472,597 | 11,423,174 | 338,034 | 4 | too much slow drama , not enough action for my taste | i though this film was okay . i din't think it was great . it was a bit too slow for my taste . lots of drama , but not very much action until close to the end of the film . this movie was basically a dramatic film , with the payoff , if you can call it that , not until near the end . to me , the scenes of the dam burs... |
472,761 | 11,423,174 | 66,344 | 4 | bah , humbug | this is another adaptation of A Christmas Carol , this one starring Albert Finny as Ebeneezer Scrooge . the only other version i have seen so far is the 1951 version starring Alistair Sim . there is no comparison between the two . i loved the 1951 version , and thought Sim was very natural in the part and inhabited the... |
472,705 | 11,423,174 | 483,726 | 4 | falsely advertised as a comedy | i found this Robin Williams vehicle mildly amusing at best . i guess you would call it a political satire of sorts . it's about a political talk show host / comedian who decides to run for president and unexpectedly wins . i found most of the humour dry myself , and Robin Williams is much more restrained and sedate tha... |
473,651 | 11,423,174 | 120,800 | 4 | lacklustre story , too many songs | this animated movie was OK , i guess , but nothing special . the most annoying thing about it , to me , was that there were too many musical numbers , and not enough story . plus , the musical numbers themselves were kinda mundane , in my opinion . and they slowed the whole movie down , ruining any flow it might have h... |
473,224 | 11,423,174 | 113,114 | 4 | disappointing in the extreme | the best thing about this movie is that there are more scenes with the whales . other than that , i can't say i liked it very much . it is shorter than the first one , but feels a lot longer . this movie felt too much like an ecology lesson to me , and it wasn't subtle either . i just found the whole thing overwrought ... |
473,821 | 11,423,174 | 433,588 | 4 | very bleak | this is an ' inspired by true events ' movie . it's a bleak movie , to be blunt about it . it's about a woman who had done nothing but lie cheat and steal her whole life . as a result her and her young daughter live a life on the run from the law . i found this movie slow and boring for the most part . it doesn't have ... |

473,519 | 11,423,174 | 111,082 | 4 | not that good | this is a B movie , no doubt about it . that isn't always a bad thing . i f you have good acting , decent characters , and a decent storyline , it could work . does this movie have any of that ? maybe a little . the story is mildly interesting . none of the characters are , except for one . that would be the villain , ... |
473,675 | 11,423,174 | 348,060 | 4 | pretty weak old style animation | this old style animation movie might be likable by young kids , but that might be a bit of a stretch . it's just too slow , with a story that isn't very strong . plus it tries to be dark at times and lite at others . the amusing bits are overdone , and not really amusing . again , young kids might find these sequences ... |

472,889 | 11,423,174 | 109,551 | 4 | middle of the road for this genre | this movie wasn't too too bad , i guess . the premise ? an ancient creature lives beneath the surface of a graveyard , feeding on the freshest bodies . . one man wants it for its remarkable healing properties . believing that humans can benefit from it . another man ( a former F .

473,434 | 11,423,174 | 100,485 | 4 | boring and anti climatic | i was bored throughout this movie . it's slow moving and not much happens . it's not much different than your standard revenge tale . other than it might be more boring than many .

473,153 | 11,423,174 | 331,953 | 4 | passably entertaining , if you can get past the first 30 min | At first , i didn't like this movie . i just didn't see the point . i mean there was next to no plot . lots of nudity , ( always a good thing ) drunk people doing really silly things . and of course a psycho killer stalking the staff of the island resort where the movie is set . there are lots of crude and raunchy situ... |
473,172 | 11,423,174 | 449,471 | 4 | should have remained buried | i can't think of too much to like about this alleged horror movie . to me , it lacked any real scares . there is a bit of suspense though not very much . the setting has promise : Catacombs beneath the streets of Paris . that's certainly an eerie place to base a horror film . but , for whatever reason , it just didn't ... |
472,617 | 11,423,174 | 102,848 | 4 | forgettable sequel , although it is louder | the first Scanners may not have been a great movie , but at least it was original . there is no such novelty to this one . the acting is worse , in my opinion , and the story is slower and nothing special . i also didn't like the dialogue . and the special effects are no better than in the original . this is movie is i... |
472,958 | 11,423,174 | 117,942 | 4 | same old , same old | i'll start with the positives . i really like the characters that Bruce Campbell and Ernie Hudson played . they were both very likable . Bruce Campbell did a very good job in his role as a storm chaser . not once did i think of him in his Evil Dead persona . Ernie Hudson was also credible in his role as a scientist who... |
473,532 | 11,423,174 | 183,649 | 4 | too rushed , unlikable main character | this movie just didn't do it for me . it's supposed to be thrilling and suspenseful , but i found it to be neither . i can't put my finger on it why it didn't work for me , it just didn't . as you can probably tell from the title , the focus of the movie is a phone booth , and that's where most of the movie takes place... |
473,306 | 11,423,174 | 119,484 | 4 | i wasn't too impressed with this | i wasn't too impressed with this movie . it is in the style of both the Conan movies , but i didn't like it anywhere near as much . there was lots of action , but i still found it to be slow and boring . it becomes a bit more interesting from the halfway point on , but barely . i didn't find the acting very good , alth... |
473,119 | 11,423,174 | 473,553 | 4 | not your Father's tooth fairy | this movie is similar to Darkness Falls , and The Boogeyman ( 2005 ) but it's also much more graphic than both , and not as good as either . it's also slow and fairly predictable . it's also got shades of Deliverance and the Amityville Horror . plus , we get some new age flavour thrown in the mix and some of those scen... |
473,688 | 11,423,174 | 71,455 | 4 | not so good | i was none to impressed with this effort in the disaster genre . i found it too way too long to get going , and was boring . i also didn't think the earthquake sequence was that spectacular . it just wasn't that exciting , nor did it look very realistic , even by the standards of that era ( 1974 . ) i have seen other m... |
473,432 | 11,423,174 | 498,353 | 4 | certainly a step ( or three ) above part I | i hated the original Hostel with a passion . so i was surprised that i didn't hate part 2 . the story is pretty much the same , with mostly different characters , so of course it's predictable . i didn't find it as sick a the first one . as a matter of fact there are only one or two gory scenes . the first 50 minutes o... |
473,803 | 11,423,174 | 36,241 | 4 | Jane Russel's first movie | this thing is all over the place . it's disjointed , and there doesn't seem to be a point to a lot of it . probably most largely remembered as Jane Russel's first movie role , even though she didn't have that big a part . anyway , this thing just goes on and on and on . there were times i was sure it was over , and it ... |
472,627 | 11,423,174 | 988,047 | 4 | underwhelming | talk about high hopes being dashed . seeing the trailers for this film starring Don Cheadle , i was convinced it would be a great movie . sadly , i found it boring , predictable , muddled , pointless . I like Don Cheadle a lot . but i think he made a bad decision to star in this movie . Guy Pierce , Neil McDonough , an... |
473,074 | 11,423,174 | 490,798 | 4 | i wasn't too impressed with this | i found this movie to be mostly a P . O . S . it was low budget , but that isn't the problem . the problem is , the movie is just lame . it doesn't really make a lot of sense . yes , it does explain why things happened , but that's not what i mean . there was just no reason for it all . the movie also moved very slow .... |
472,554 | 11,423,174 | 88,936 | 4 | not one of Chuck's best | in fact , it's your typical action / crime drama . the characters are stereotypical for this genre . i also found the movie slow and depressing . i was quite disappointed . i was expecting a much better movie than this . the action is slow , and there really isn't much originality here . Andrew Davis directed this one ... |
473,773 | 11,423,174 | 96,754 | 4 | didn't live up to the potential | i don't think this was a good film . first off , i just found it so tediously slow . it never really picked up much at all . when it gets to the " reveal " of some undersea life , it redeems itself somewhat , but not much . though i will say the special effects were pretty impressive in this regard . the problem is , w... |
472,714 | 11,423,174 | 102,202 | 4 | not as good as number 1 , ( or 2 and 3 , for that matter ) | this sequel is nowhere near as good as the original . there is lots of blood in this one , courtesy of the fight scenes . , which is a good thing . the fight scenes themselves aren't too bad . however , if found the plot to be lame and uninteresting . this martial arts movie did not really engage my interest very much ... |
472,816 | 11,423,174 | 234,215 | 4 | random and incoherent | this is the second movie in the Matrix saga . it chronicles the continuing fight of the resistance to free humanity from continuing enslavement from the machines which keep reality hidden from them . this is not what i would call good movie . it is a collection of repetitive and ridiculous unrealistic fight scenes , co... |
472,586 | 11,423,174 | 117,723 | 4 | not too good ( especially if you expect to laugh ) | this movie is billed as a spoof / comedy , but it's not really funny . there are 1 or 2 mildly amusing moments , but mostly it's just silly , without being funny . this movie would work as an actual spy movie , except that you have the expectation that you will laugh . it's gonna be hard to get the required 10 lines of... |
472,615 | 11,423,174 | 82,497 | 4 | interesting concept , but the movie is not interesting | this movie kinda reminded me of the classic short story The Monkey's Paw , only it isn't as good . it's too long for one thing , and too slow . the concept is interesting , but to me the execution of it goes wrong somewhere . i did find it interesting that Oliver Stone wrote the screenplay and directed the movie . ther... |
472,607 | 11,423,174 | 298,130 | 4 | underwhelming | i may be in the minority here , but i just didn't find the Ring to be a good movie . for me , it's not much different the the Grudge . i will say , i liked it a bit more than The Grudge , only because it isn't so annoying . there are a few differences between the two movies , but in my mind , it's almost the same movie... |
472,631 | 11,423,174 | 345,074 | 4 | not really suited to my tastes | this movie isn't for me , but i could see how people would like it . it has two very likable leads in Nia Vardalos and Toni Collette . both are great actresses and work well off each other very well here . they both have great comedic timing . and their are some great witty moments here . but for me , there's just too ... |
473,173 | 11,423,174 | 119,709 | 4 | most ( ly ) dull | this movie was pretty much one big bore . it's about a political / military cover up . many other movies have dealt with the same subject , and much better . Keenan Ivory is OK in the lead role , but i didn't Buy John Voigt as a corrupt general . Paul Sorvino , Eric Roberts and Jill Hennessey are all good , but they al... |
473,117 | 11,423,174 | 96,320 | 4 | clever premise , but doesn't live up to its potential | the premise for this movie is clever and original . Two men who do not look alike and are totally different human beings find out they are twins . one is a perfect physical specimen , very well educated and honest . and he grew up on a deserted island . the other one-well lets just say he's almost the exact opposite . ... |
473,219 | 11,423,174 | 291,502 | 4 | not quite awful , just slow and not very interesting | i don't think this movie is as awful as everyone says . i think it's mildly amusing . bu ti don't think it's very interesting , and it is slow . ti don't think the acting is the problem . i think it's the script . i think it's a movie with an identity crises . i'm just not sure what kind of movie it wants to be . i don... |
473,467 | 11,423,174 | 324,554 | 4 | could have been very good , but bad writing gets in the way | Wicker Park is a movie that starts out promising , but ends up becoming a convoluted mess . the actors all do fine jobs with what they are given , but the writing sinks the film . the movie has some degree of realism and logic in the earlier stages but then quickly bogs down in one implausible scenario after another . ... |
472,728 | 11,423,174 | 67,341 | 4 | . . . . and while we're at it , let's bore everyone else to death | the thing about this movie is for the better part of it , next to nothing happens . this is one sublime movie . i wouldn't say it's a bad movie , but if you are looking for action , you will have to look elsewhere . to be fair , most movies of the 70's are much slower , or seem to be , compared to today's films . there... |
473,058 | 11,423,174 | 92,632 | 4 | too long of a buildup to nothing | i guess this movie is a bit eerie at times . it's basically about people who practice an obscure religion , with bizarre beliefs . but i've seen at least one movie quite similar to it , possibly more . so not only is there not much originality , but nothing new is done with the material . plus i pretty much figured thi... |
473,828 | 11,423,174 | 120,534 | 5 | much too slow , but could be a lot worse | while i didn't hate this movie , i didn't find it spectacular either . the first twenty minutes or so are quite good , with some action and tension . the last ten minutes are also good , again with some action and suspense . the problem is the middle of the movie . it's just too damn slow moving . i kept hoping and wai... |
473,031 | 11,423,174 | 493,327 | 5 | check out the mini-series The Grid , for a better treatment of the subject of terrorism | i was disappointed din this terrorism suspense thriller , mainly because i didn't feel there was much in in the way of suspense or thrills . it just sort of plods along for about 160 minutes or so . i didn't care for the characters , except one , the character played by Blair Underwood . i found his character interesti... |
473,111 | 11,423,174 | 318,497 | 5 | OK for the genre | this movie is OK for the horror genre . it's nothing new or special , but the genre has produced worse . i didn't find the acting all that bad . again , it wasn't great , but i've seen worse . Paris Hilton is in this one , and is no better or worse than anyone else in the movie . i didn't find the movie particularly sc... |
472,639 | 11,423,174 | 105,112 | 5 | i found it pretty boring and slow , for the most part | i won't say this is a horrible film , because it isn't . i just found it boring for the most part . there are a few tense moments , and there is a bit of action . this movie is more of a drama than anything , in my mind . it's a Jack Ryan movie , with Harrison Ford playing Ryan . it's based on the novel by Tom Clancy .... |
472,544 | 11,423,174 | 1,059,793 | 5 | good for the kids , but has some scary looking characters | i don't quite no what to make of this film . this is Garfield's first CG animated movie . i thought it had some amusing moments , but nothing laugh out loud funny . the story is very simple , so kids will be able to follow it very easily . the voices were very fitting for the characters . the CG in general looks nice a... |
472,522 | 11,423,174 | 105,128 | 5 | a inferior sequel that is much too slick for its own good | Pet Semetary 2 is not as creepy as Pet Semetery . it is however , gorier and faster paced . there is also more character development in this one , so theoretically you should feel more emotionally for the characters , but i didn't . perhaps that may be because they are all shallow and unlikable . this movie was played ... |
473,925 | 11,423,174 | 382,625 | 5 | underwhelming | after watching this movie , i have one overriding feeling . that of being underwhelmed . there was lot of hype for this movie , but it just didn't live up to it for me . it should have been better . i mean , it had good actors and a decent story . and the dialogue was OK . but . for whatever reason , it just didn't res... |
472,922 | 11,423,174 | 83,658 | 5 | disappointing to me | i'm afraid i have to disagree with the high rating this film has ( ) i found it tortuously slow and i couldn't finish watching , though i tried hard . so many people rave about this film , and i'm at a loss to explain . yes , it is very stylish . it has a very atmospheric dark mood to it . it's also pretty creative , i... |
