a pretty good John Wayne picture
i thought his was a pretty good John Wayne film . sure , a lot of the movie is typical of most westerns in many ways , but in other ways , it isn't . for example , i thought the story was a bit more fleshed out and interesting , and there is an air of unpredictability to it . there is not as much action as many of Wayn...

solid nail biting suspense flick with above average action sequences
i had watched " Executive Decision " maybe 5 years ago and i remember enjoying it then . however , i was more impressed this time . Kurt Russel does a good job as on of the heroes of the piece . a great supporting cast surrounds Russel . Halle Berry is very convincing in her role . Steven Seagal makes an appearance , g...

( this comment refers to the unrated version of the film ) i thought it was still an entertaining movie . there are a few pretty creative kills which are pretty gory . but overall i thought the gore factor was a lot less in this one . so if you're a hard core gore hound , this movie might not satisfy you . i didn't rea...

slightly dated ( yet relevant ) futuristic tale of Utopia ( or is it Dystopia ? )
this is a hard movie to rate . It was made in 1976 , so is dated in some ways by today's standards . the special effects , while innovative at the time , are almost laughable today . the story though is relevant in today's age , even more so than 1976 . it brings up moral and ethical dilemmas as we may be closer to the...

intense and thrilling
this movie could be called a blatant rip-off of " Jaws 3 " , at least the beginning of it . however it has an added twist and it's a much better movie . the shark attacks are really bloody and violent in this one , and the are frenetic at times . i'm not sure if this movie is better than the first , but it's still pret...

this movie is quite a bit different than 1993's Tombstone . obviously it focuses on Wyatt Earp , more than anything . this movie paints quite a different picture of Earp than Tombstone does . it depicts him in a much different light .
