Fight Club:

 

"don't bother to trash your mind thinking you're on some higher enlightened plane... this is just trash! Wish I could auto-erase the input to my mind. Submissions that "do not follow our guidelines will not be posted".... so this probably won't get posted... after all, the idea is to sell videos... right?"

 

Aguirre, the Wrath of God:

 

"Well, they didn't mess up the scenery at least. They got that wondrfully right. Bad script, bad direction, and even worse acting. One wonders if Kinski & the cast came from a frontal lobotomy ward. They wouldn't seem out of place there anyway. Pretty/painful"

Not my favorite movie, but ...

 

Citizen Kane: 

 

This is robably the most over rated movie ever.It is boring and depressing.The only thing it is good at depicting is how much of an ego maniac idiot Orson Welles was.

 

and, of course, the not-really-a-review review:

 

Not for $32. That's a rip off. Great movie, but don't buy it. Just wait for it on TCM for free. No movie is worth $32. I can't believe this list price.

 

Edit: I don't know why the hell the paste function isn't working.

ALIEN:

 

"What do people see in this film? I am not one for horror films, though I do like this alien stuff. Nothing happens in the film. Nothing. We spent most of the time waiting and waiting for something to happen. This movie could have been cut to half an hour, easy. There is a saying that says that fear is being scared of the unknown, something that the X-Files has done really well.

Unfortunately, this film has tried to do this too and has gone too far. Rather than waiting for something to happen, while on the edge of our seats, we wait and wait and wait and wait. We barely get to see the alien and the special effects are pretty poor. Sure it was a long time ago, so we can't expect too much, but look at Star Wars, which came out around the same time. They were much better than Alien, and Lucas had half the money.

Alien is simply a boring film that deserves no credit."

 

CASABLANCA:

 

"I saw this old classic in my film class several years ago and since I am hearing impaired, I simply never had the chance to learn its story that seemed to hold the audience spellbound for several generations. So here I just sat and stared as the dull b&w scenes rolled slowly right by and nothing much seemed to happen. But at least I recognized the famous scene at the very ending where Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman turned to look at each other by the plane - but that's all. Sorry, but it was a very very bland experience for me as the deaf viewer."

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind:

 

"It's been few years since I've seen this movie and I'm still blown away to see such glowing reviews about it. I don't know if I'm just slow, retarded, or maybe I have an attention deficit disorder, but I was completely bored through the entire 1 hour and 49 minutes. I'm not going to go into utter detail about this movie, but basically this movie shows you the consequences of erasing a former loved one that you may of had a bad breakup with. It sure does sound intriguing enough on paper, but visually it isn't stimulating at all. This is something you'd want to read in a book (which maybe too long as well), but not sit through in the theater. There are movies that should be seen in a theater such as Titanic, Transformers, Avatar, X-Men, Matrix, and so on. Then there are movies that should have been left alone in a book and this one should have just been made into a book.

I'm sorry if you are deeply offended that I could say such things, but I believe I justify my statement that there are things that are meant to be watched and then there are those that are meant to be read. I could have been more entertained mowing the lawn or raking leaves for those 1 hour and 49 minutes than watching this long and dragged out movie. This could have been easily been put in a 1 page article in a teen magazine stating how it is important to not cherish the good moments of your life, but also take in the bad. Basically what doesn't kill you makes you stronger or defines the person you are now. So to sit through that explanation for over an hour and a half is mind-numbingly boring.

So if you are the type of person who states, "That movie was so deep to the core and real." then perhaps this artsy fartsy movie is for you. I don't like seeing deeply involved movies. That doesn't mean I don't like smart movies such as Double Jeopardy or Thank You For Smoking as examples, but this has no entertainment value. If you thought this was entertaining then you must be one boring person. (Yeah, I said it.)"

The Conversation:

 

Quote:

"Who's interested in these people, anyway?" Stan asks.

 
Not me - that's for sure.
 
This movie is amazing in its ability to be both boring and annoying. I actually took the dvd out after watching and threw it directly into the trash. That coming from someone who keeps every dvd/vhs ever purchased in the last two decades. Gene Hackmans talent is wasted in this movie. You'll get frustrated hearing the same tape recording of a conversation being played and replayed over and over - with NO explanantion to the viewer as to what is significant about the conversation. Even when you are allowed to find out some things in the end - you realize that the whole movie was pointless.
 
If you choose to suffer thru watching it....afterwards, ask yourself...Why in the world would two people, trying to hide their conversation, not just run into the nearest restaurant, lock themselves in the bathroom, have their quick conversation and then run back out. Walking in circles, whispering, speaking in "code", standing near a band playing, mixing in with the crowd....all pointless and utterly ridiculous.

Chinatown:

 

Quote:
When I was reading one of the reviews for 'The Usual Suspects', there was a mention of 'Chinatown' and how it was such a great movie. That made me rent this movie and honestly, there have been very few other movies that have been so disappointing!
It is laughable that this is being compared to 'The Usual Suspects' (which is at least million times better!). This is a pathetic movie, the ending tries to surprise you and it does, because it is so stupid!
 
Jack Nicholson does a good job, but even his acting cannot hide the fact that this movie stinks. Some comments say that this one is the best Film Noir till date, and I have one word for such reviews: Baloney!
 
Bottom line: Don't see it, see 'The Usual Suspects' again (and again and again and again....).

Weird sultry erotica movie about cheating and sneaking around on your significant other. Unfortunately it is a depiction of todays relationships. Good actors, and acting. Very slow developing plot, and poorly concluded. I wouldn't recommend it.

EVIL DEAD 2

 

Quote:

Movie opens with a guy who finds some tape recorder type thing. You think this is going to be good. Kinda creepy. Not long after he finds this tape recorder and listens to this tape about evil spirits - soon some evil force comes along and goes through the woods and starts to possess people... so I think.

Lame from the get go. Right after he finds this tape it goes downhill. Horribly cheesy special effects, very unscary and not at all funny. Completely devoid of any redeeming value.

I heard this was a " re-make", why remake something this crappy to begin with? The whole movie was bad and the end was even more stupid. The special effects were bad, the demons at the end were not scary or funny. Just plain lame. - Bad actors and bad acting.

Don't get all the positive reviews. Who would like this movie other than an 11 year old boy? If you find this funny then you must not be funny or it tells me something about comedy, how rare it is and how people will laugh at anything cause its so hard to come by.

If you like stupid, go ahead and see it. If a man eating his own hand entertains you and cheesy fake demons go see it.

Horror fan, yes. lover of comedy horror, sure, but not this.

 

 

The Thing

 

Quote:
This could easily have been a Star Trek episode and have been wrapped up in half the time. If only they had a universal translator or spoke Norwegian! The Thing may have been state of the art in 1982, but it just looks cheap in the 21st century where we are used to awesome CGI effects.

I cannot believe that these men are "researchers" - they seem more guys you would find in a police station, both the cops and the criminals. So, you can get high at the research station? And roller skate around it? Not very professional, indeed.

Kurt Russell channels Escape from New York's Snake Plissken for John Carpenter who directed both films. How does Kurt's R.J. MacReady, who is the station's helicopter pilot, know everything and always have the right answer? MacReady wears the worst hat ever worn in the movies.

Don't bother with this unbelievable farce.

Die Hard
Quote:
Highly overrated.,
okg 853

I agree with "Duh hard". First, the positive: Bruce Willis is very nice eye candy. But, in addition to being too long, it has too many characters.
It's so predictable. It tries too hard, and as a result, it's laughable. It reminded me of the Towering inferno. I fell asleep watching it.

A Kid's Review

I bought this for my three year old and was shocked to see how violent and filthy it was. The "F" word was used many times and there were many scenes with shooting and death and violence.

Terible. By the way, I'm posting my name the way it is so nobody will know my E-mAil address.

Because I'm a masochist I couldn't help myself.

 

My favourite Dilbert has Dogbert visiting Internet message boards to recalibrate his lack of faith in humanity, looks like I've found a new way:

 

Animal Kingdom:

 

 

 

Quote:
The "animals" in this "kingdom" are three mentally disabled brothers, their mother (who kisses them on the mouth O, My Goodness Gracious, I'm Shocked) and their nephew who has had a lobotomy. They also have another brother who apparently wandered in from the set for "The Lovely Bones" (rejected for the Stanely Tucci part).

There is nothing suspenseful or sinister about this movie or clan of characters. The only tension is on the soundtrack; some pinched strings. These clowns never do anything. They are as threatening as the guys in "Pineapple Express".

This movie is like a Marx Brothers comedy. The plots lines are dropped, the narrative flies all over the place, people say and do the dumbest things... you cant imagine. The main character is Harpo Marx; because he never speaks, he is mute. There is a "cute" brother (Zeppo), a ringleader (Groucho) and a follower (Chico)... and in this case an extra brother, the Pedophile.

The first part of the movie concerns the family hiding the Pedophile from the police because they "have the goods on him". When the police close in in him, they turn and blast Groucho with red paintballs. The one they have been chasing, they let walk away. The Pedophile is so upset, he gets the other two brothers to blast a couple of cops with red paintball guns. The police then have no trouble bringing the Pedophile into the station but they let him go.

Understand this: the whole movie so far has been about the police trying to apprehend this guy, they kill his brother instead (for no reason), they catch him and they let him go. Got it? Up to speed? Now the movie becomes about the police trying to use Harpo to testify against his brothers. Except: he doesn't really know anything. I mean, he really doesn't know anything. He is absolutely totally useless as a witness because... he doesn't know anything.

It goes on and on with characters doing the dumbest things you don't really want to know. (This person is innocent so I will kill them. This person is trying to kill me, I will go visit them.) Jackie Weaver has gotten a lot of press about her role. Her character is cut from the same cloth as Rose Tyler's mom in Doctor Who ("sexy", overweight, blond bimbo with raccoon eyes). That character contains mountains more of emotional impact than the mother in this movie. Like everyone else in this movie, she says and does things on whims, so nothing she says or does has any meaning or impact because it is not grounded in any logic whatsoever.

What a bunch of dumb animals.

Breaking Bad Season 4:

 

 

Quote:
The only reason I watch TV nowadays is for Jersey Shore and MTV in general. Wanting to expand my tastes, I heard about this show which was apparently one of the greatest shows on TV. After watching a few episodes, I was too disgusted to even go any further. The horrible acting was bad enough, but its message made me throw up. This show condones smoking meth, which is the worst drug in the world. How could the great FCC allow this garbage? This filth needs to be cancelled, and Bryan Crapson should be arrested for association. This show is the reason why our country is in decline.

 you may as well just write "I'm a massive, totally clueless, cunt"

that all i have to say... this is film dont worth more of my attention, I hate it! I would like it if i thought killing is verry fun, but if you americans love this kind of films enjoy yourself, this is not the kind of cinema that I want...

 

yeah, damn you Americans for liking this type of movie.

 

Game of Thrones:

 

 

 

Quote:
Buyer Beware!!! I was told this series was the greatest thing since Lord of the Rings. NOT true! I watched the first episode last night. Every five minutes there was an explicit sex scene. Multiple partners -- at the same time and one right after the other -- and even brothers and sisters having sex. None of the sex was anywhere near a loving thing. Just raw sex. This is not my idea of entertainment! I'm not a prude, but come on! More adventure and less nudity! I settled in to watch what I thought was going to be a great new adventure series and what I got was porn! Too bad too because the acting was good. I won't watch the rest of the set. What a waste of money! Where do I go for a refund?! It is a shame what passes for entertainment in our society today! I'm very disappointed!

 

You know when someone says "I'm not a prude" that they are repressing violent sexual fantasies involving small children and donkeys.

 

lack of faith in humanity duly re-calibrated.

 

In summary: cunts.

SO EASY AND BORING IM SELLING IT ON EBAY BEFORE I EVEN FINISH IT. i only played offline single player and i dont understand where the hype from this game came from. the quests are easy and boring. the story is broken and stalled by random lame tasks to do. 'please help me pick flowers for my old wife' or 'herd the cows from field A to field B 500 feet away' seriously? nothing seems intense or fun. your main character is nice to some then wretched and evil to others and its too bizarre to take seriously. i was already kicking butt then i figured out how to use dead eye and its even easier now. horse rides are long and dull. how many times can you possibly need to save someone from wolves/coyotes? did the hype come from the online experience? im 30 and maybe im too old and skilled for this game. i was going to buy gta4 as i havent gotten around to playing it yet but now im pretty skeptical of rockstar game reviews. i liked borderlands and most call of duties 5x more than red dead redumption. the game is on right now and im enjoying writing this review more than playing the game. if there is an overrated game list im rating this one right next to E.T. for atari at the top.

Pink FLoyd, Wish You Were Here:

 

 

Quote:
If you just must have some Pink Floyd in your collection buy either "The Wall" (if you want the best music) or "Dark Side of the Moon" (if you're following the herd and want to say that you own it). In either case, I'd say that this album is not essential for a PF collection and that PF is not really essential to a great rock collection. There were too many other bands breaking ground to spend time on this one-off stuff.

Naisu Baadi reviews THERE WILL BE BLOOD:

 

 

Quote:
This film is similar to The Assassination Of Jesse James and No Country For Old Men. Why is it similar? I'll tell you. It's because all three movies are acclaimed as masterpieces but are actually detested by people who actually know something about quality cinema. There Will Be Blood manages to be even more pointless than the other two and has literally nothing going for it. The story is insultingly dull, the characters are uninteresting, the running time is excrutiating and Daniel Day Lewis' performance is far too similar to the one he gave in Gangs Of New York. Frankly, I couldn't give a toss about some meglomaniac jerk who travels the country in search of oil. If you manage to stay awake until the end credit, it's YOU who deserves an award, not Daniel. Unmitgated crap.

 

Yes, Mr. Amazon Film Reviewer. You surely do know a thing or two about quality cinema.

That, and people complaining about foul language and "taking the Lord's name in vain" in a movie clearly rated R.  "Die Hard" and "Alien" are boring. Got it.

This is without a doubt the worst ever big-budget animated film. Only ethereal unthinking saps would buy any part of this. Even suspending disbelief to below moron status does not save it. How can an adventurer who is pushing 40 when the old-man protagonist is a 10 year old, look to be only ~60 when the ex-10year old is now 70ish? The plot is nonsensical to the extreme and follows no real line. And don't even think about the physics of strings on balloons being sufficient for any of the outcomes that occur. And the Oscar nomination is so ludicrous as to confirm that the Oscars are now little more than ways for Hollowood insiders to push their agendas.

 

 

Inception

 

Quote:
I have to say I was excited to see this movie hearing from so many how good it was. It was terrible. Way too long. It was very drawn out and kind of silly if you ask me. A dream within a dream within a dream. Levels? What is this, a video game? I did not think Ellen Page was suited for that type of role. There were too many elements to it. Too many scenes, drawn out scenes. And is it just me or did the van take way too long to hit the water? Bad movie.

 

Close Encounters

Quote:
Okay, we all agree the visual effects were beyond the leading edge for the era. We all know today's computers can blow it away visually. But really, the plot is WEAK. The characters are so shallow. I mean, the farm mother loses her kid, and doesn't even seem that upset! Hello? And what is a single mother doing raising a young kid on a farm in the 70's? Where is the father? Where is the character development? Why didn't Dreyfus' wife put him in the psyche ward when he tore up the neighborhood? Why didn't the police drag him in for protective custody? The plot is so goofy and contrived it totally distracts from the big picture themes. The 1 star is only for visuals, otherwise, it ranks about a zero. One of the most over rated films of all time.

Movies Don't Get Better with Age (Seven Samurai)

by Sean "Dragon Ninja"

 

Quote:
I finally bought this movie after reading so many good reviews, but i was again mislead. After the dissapointment called Ran, i thought Kurosawa was a pretty bad director that being one of his newer movies. But after reading so many good things about this movie i couldn't resist. I sat through this 3 and a half hour long movie this morning, and when it was over i was still waiting for the so called breathtaking battle in the rain. Anyone looking for good samurai action DO NOT BUY THIS. All of the action is terribly choreographed, all of the action sequences involve people running around like crazy people, and then maybe one or 2 bandits get stabbed or shot with a bow or gun. The last battle was the biggest dissapointment, it was supposed to be one of the best sequences ever captured on tape, what? It sucks, maybe 50 years ago it was considered an exciting action scene, but by todays standards it doesnt even compare to an animated disney movie in terms of action, really its that bad. The rest of the movie is taken over by man butts and bad acting, the performances are comical, not funny, ridiculously stupid. There is no drama at all, when one of the samurai dies I found myself relieved that i wouldn't see that terrible actor again, none of them could even fight or move the sword, not once do you hear the clang of a sword or see any blood, thats right whoever considers this movie violent probably cant handle bambi. To list all this films flaws i would need more paitence but i will tell you that the action sucks, there is no heart wrenching drama, no humor, not a single good performance, no real samurai fighting like i said you never see someone block a sword or do any kind of move not involving just sticking there arm out and hoping they hit something, the rescue of the kinapped child is 2 seconds long and all the guy does is run in and get the kid, the theft of an enemy gun is short and simple, thats right they run out and grab it you guessed it, the story is even poorly done, how could anybody mess up a 1 line story, well Kurosawa does, i would not recommend any of his movies he is a terrible director, anybody looking for entertainment can go anywhere else because it has got to be better then this piece of crapola. In short the last samurai is much better way truer to the way of the smaurai, if you dont think so read bushido, this movie couldn't be more wrong to the way of the samurai, this movie makes them out to be savages and only like to kill and rape women, totally wrong, this movie may have been good a long time ago but anybody younger then 50 will not like this movie, -100000000 out of a 10, i gave it the Negative rating for not contributing anything, no entertainment, esspecially no action because action doesnt get more pathetic then this. The Last Samurai would kick all Seven of these samurai's asses, but they all died of old age.

Yes! Seriously on Netflix I see so many reviews about cursing. They either hate cursing or nudity but oddly it's mostly cursing, namely taking the lords name in vain. It's fucking unbelievable considering some of these movies are very violent. My favorite are the ones that actually count how many times the take the lords name in vain. "There were no less then 10 instances of god damn in this movie, filthy Hollywood garbage!"

Master & Commander: The Far Side of the World

Quote:
This movie should not have gotten the credit that it did. it may have had good art direction and costume designs but that does not make a good movie. Master and Commander was filled with a boaring plot, very few and very dull battle sequences, and scene after scene at the dinner table that make doing bifunctional equations seem interesting. Watching this movie was probably the worst thing I have done all year, including cutting off my own legs and beating myself with them.(...)

 

The Right Stuff:

 

 

Quote:
This film is just plain BAD. Every single story depicted in the film is falsified and primitively "sexed up" to fit the narrow minded views of it's producers. I especially hated the way they treated Chuck Yeager - it is just plain disrespectful!It is because of films like that (add the pathetic "Apollo 13" and "From the Earth to the Moon" to this list of shame), that the general public has so little interest in space exploration.Instead of squeezing out crap like that, they should make documentaries, talk to real people, tell their REAL story, finally show some of those 1000s of miles of documentary footage that they have collecting dust in the archives. It sure would be more interesting than their cheesy "special effects" and family squabbles.

 

Funnily enough, the only 1-star reviews for Ghostbusters all complain about the blu-ray. The only actual negative review appears to be written by a 9-year-old who didn't like all the "bad words".

 

Pulp Fiction (this guy really has a chip on his shoulder):

 

 

Quote:

Look at me, I am a Quentin Tarantino fan! I am so hip and cool because I sit around and praise his movies like they are the greatest thing ever put on film. I could care less if there are other people who don't like this movie. This movie is sooooooo cool that other people just don't get it. They don't get just how much of a genius Tarantino is. Good God the world is full of so many dumb people! How could they possibly not like 'Pulp Fiction'? I find if impossible that anyone with a brain cell to possibly not like this movie. What is this world coming to? Look at me, I am a Quentin Tarantino fan! I also like other masterworks such as 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind', 'Fight Club', and 'Lost In Translation'. What? You say that those movies are boring and pointless too? Man you people are so dumb. You just have no taste of anything meaningful or worthwhile. You people have no use in this world and I feel sorry for you. How could you not possibly sit around and watch a movie and think that it is cool, hence making you hip and cool in the process. You must lead very sad lives, watching movies that are nowhere near as awesome as 'Pulp Fiction'.

 

Look at me, I am a Quentin Tarantino fan. Quentin is going to do an interview on television tonight. I am going to tape it watch it over and over again. Is is just me, or is Quentin the closest thing to GOD on this planet Earth? I am also going to watch 'Pulp Fiction' for over the 50th time tonight. I am going to invite my supercool friends and we are going to have a blast. Afterwards, we are going to talk about how cool the movie is and how the rest of the world is so stupid and clueless for not liking this work of art that is greater than the Sistine Chapel.

TRAFFIC :

 

 

Who pulled the wool over our eyes? As a people, we have been bamboozled, we have been hornswaggled, into believing in a horrible fallacy, a lie so big even the Nazis would quake in awe. I'm not talking about our electoral process. I'm not talking about the constant misinterpretation of the Second Amendment, or the belief that whites are somehow superior to all other races. But who in the hell told us that "Traffic" was a good movie? So what do we have here, we have like eighteen different intertwining stories that all mesh into a web of cocaine-encrusted celluloid. For starters, we've got Michael Douglas as Bob Wakefield, the brand-new head of the United States Drug Prevention Initiative Policy Blah Blah Blah. Hole Number One. No head of drug prevention in these United States would be as absolutely clueless as Judge Wakefield. Oh yeah, he's a judge! The guy has no idea how drug trafficking works, doesn't know any of the statistics or the ins and outs of the drug trade in America, and he's the most qualified for the job? Forget it. Okay. So his daughter is on crack. Did I mention that? His daughter is a bonafide crack addict. No pot, barely any booze, straight to the premium: snorting and freebasing. Meanwhile, her father serves as the audience proxy, an earpiece for all of screenwriter Stephen Gaghan's impressive research. So eventually his daughter runs away from her drug retreat and begins sleeping with her crack dealer for free rock, realizing a rich father's worst nightmare: his daughter is sleeping with a black man. All right, enough plot summary. That's for movie reviews, and this ain't a movie review, it's a venting session. Is there anyone reading right now who doesn't think that the War on Drugs only fuels the drug trade in the country, and that it's probably a front for a massive government importing conspiracy? No? Anyone? No? Good. Then don't see the movie. Because that's all they say for two and a half hours. I felt like my brain was going to explode. I haven't hated a movie this much since I saw "Magnolia" and almost chewed out my medulla oblongata. The only real bright spots in the movie came from Don Cheadle and Luis Guzmán, FBI drug investigators who also happen to be great actors. The usually wonderful Michael Douglas comes off as preachy and naïve, while the usually stellar Benicio del Toro - Academy Award winner for Best Supporting Actor for this role, by the way - never changes his facial expression and is just barely vindicated in one of the most saccharine-sweet, manipulative movie endings since "Free Willy." Don't get me started on wunderkind-of-the-year Steven Soderbergh's directing mishaps. Nearly half of the movie was shot on a hand-held camera, producing a theatre-wide seasickness not rivaled since "The Blair Witch Project" and not done half as well. The rest of the movie consisted of artsy trick angles - including an upside-down shot of Douglas's helicopter that made no sense - bright-light shots reminiscent of "Heathers," and shots of nature having nothing to do with the rest of the film. The only bright spot in Soderbergh's messy montage of mediocre vignettes was the section of the movie dealing with the cartel wars in Tijuana. The slightly-off style of shooting, the yellowed color of the film, and the impersonality of the shots made you realize that this was a completely different world. For the most part, however, someone should tell Steven Soderbergh that he shouldn't try to be Oliver Stone. Oliver Stone tried that, and we got "Any Given Sunday." So watch out. Anyway, I've never felt so gypped as I did coming out of that movie. Let me set the record straight: "Traffic" sucks. Go spend your money on "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," or see a NASCAR race, or BEAT YOUR HEAD AGAINST A WALL but do NOT see this movie. Unless you already have. In which case, may God have sweet mercy on your soul.

WORST.MOVIE.EVER., December 26, 2010
By
Alexander Hirnigel (Vienna, Austria) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Moon [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
I love science fiction movies. My favourites are blade runner, alien and space odysee. But this, this is an abomination. OK, here is a sample of the idiocy: The initial sequence tells us that in the future the entire energy supply for planet earth will come from the moon. Hence, they bullt a massive site on the moon and send ... ONE man to harvest the precious resource. And it goes on. The protagonist can only communicate with his wife via PRE-RECORDED video messages, unlike the American astronauts in 1969, who sent their feeds back to earth LIVE. Oh, and he has a robot friend who makes a commodore 64 look futuristic. Apart from this idiotic set up the movie itself is absolutely painful. The pace is agonizingly slow, the acting by Sam Rockwell is horrible and the dialogues are boring as hell. The plot "twist" is super predictable and lame. To call this "the best sci-fi movie since blade runner" (quote on the poster) is an absolute travesty! The whole production team should be banned from ever making a movie again or worse, sentenced to watch their own work on auto-repeat.

Hits close to home, January 1, 2005

Arnold Fan "Christmas Movie Watcher" (MO, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jingle All the Way (DVD)
This movie is great if you have a zany sense of humor.

I think the reason that most people do not like it is that it hits too close to home. This movie is for people who can laugh at their problems, and some people don't feel that trying to find the toy of the year at Christmas is funny because of painful experience.

Of course, the point of the movie is that the father wants very badly to keep this promise to his son because he has let him down so many times before. At the end of the movie, guess what? Arnold BECOMES his son's hero! How cool is that? Who wouldn't want to be their kid's hero?

People whose parents let them down and people who let their kids down would not like this movie. Like I said, it hits too close home. Ouch!

This is the truest movie out there on racism, and the preconceived notions we ALL (no matter what color) try not to admit to to a certain extent. This was not a "lets bash the white man" movie either, the racism was across the board. The biggest surprise was to come about an hour in, and I was stunned to see the revelation of that storyline (with Matt Dillon). This film requires paying attention to, please stay with it, it will pay off. High recommend!

 If you are looking for genius film making, then this is not your movie. If you are looking for an epic tale with beautiful landscapes, then this is not your film. If you are looking for a movie with more plot twists and turns that a windy mountain road, then this is not your film. The thing is... it never promised to be those things. This is a movie that appeals to the "we could kill everbody" aspect inside of every male. (It is my experience that women loathe this movie.) It will also appeal to your ideals of justice and make you ask "what if?"

World's Most Satisfying Sequel, January 26, 2012

By 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This review is from: Highlander 2 - Special Edition (DVD)

This is simply the most satisfying sequel I have ever seen. It is a rare movie that can surpass the original, but Highlander 2 does just that. Don't take my word for it: the fans and critics alike have shared a rare bond over the striking class and beauty of this visual masterpiece. Yes, it's a science fiction masterpiece that puts Bladerunner to shame with the versatility of it's special effects and leaves nothing out in terms of blowing me away with it's amazing plot. In a stunning turn of events, the mystical warriors we met in the first Highlander movie are revealed to be time travelling space muslims from the planet Gorak. It takes a truly tortured genius to create a work of this magnitude. For the first time in the Highlander series, everything is just as it should be and it's no wonder this plot device became a defining feature of the Highlander movies, completely redacting the backstory of the first one and laying the groundwork for everything that came next. Everything makes sense now.

Five star for RESIDENT EVIL: APOCALYPSE

 

If you felt the first "Resident Evil" movie didn't quite capture the atmosphere of the original game, you can sleep a little easier now. "Resident Evil: Apocalypse" has EVERYTHING: from dark, creepy graveyards, a gothic cathedral and classic lorries in an "Escape from New York"- style deserted city to a cigarette smoking Jill Valentine and half naked hooker zombies.

Although this sequel clearly had a much bigger budget than the original film, director Alexander Witt has kept it credible and didn't use digital technology to bombard your senses and keep your mind of the lack of a decent storyline. Rather than making you feel like you're watching a computer- made movie where nothing seems real, the special effects help create a desolate and panicky atmosphere with credible characters who struggle to survive in a city that's infested with their undead compatriots, partially decayed K-9s and other creepy lifeforms. The scene where one survivor has to go up against a class of elementary school zombies is just terrifying.

Unlike the director of the "Dawn of the Dead" remake, Witt and producer/ script writer Paul W.S. Anderson have opted not to follow in the footsteps of the fast- moving "28 Days Later" zombies, but has clearly been inspired not only by George Romero's view of walking corpses, but also by his opinion of our western society. The real evil in this movie is not the zombies or even the killer mutant Nemesis (who looks and sounds like he has just stepped out of the original game and into this movie), but a Big Brother- style multinational that puts itself above the law and has no respect whatsoever for morale, decency or anything human.

Even if you've never played the video game, didn't like the first "Resident Evil" movie or don't care for a lot of high tech military action in a horror film, I'd still highly recommend you take the time to watch this one. If you liked both the 1978 version of "Dawn of the Dead" and "Aliens", you're going to love "Resident Evil: Apocalypse". Besides, if internationally acclaimed Milla Jovovich agreed to add it to her résumé of, among others, "the Fifth Element", "the Messenger: the Story of Jean of Arc" and "the Million Dollar Hotel", it has to be good!

All of my friends have raved to me about this movie, and I finally watched it. It was just awful! There is no plotline, no likeable characters, and absolutely no point to this huge mess of a movie. None of the eccentric characters are even close to funny, and I found myself wondering why in the world they agreed to make this picture. Julianne Moore is a great actress, but she has absolutely no function in this film. John Goodman is great at what he does, but in this all he does is run around yelling, bowling, and screaming about Vietnam. Jeff Bridges just wanders around in his bathrobe for 2 hours muttering "man, ya know, man". And then there's poor Steve Buscemi - a wonderful character actor normally, but his character here is only allowed to say half his lines before Goodman's character tells him to shut up.

And the plot...what plot? This movie had no development or climax...it just kind of ended, leaving me wondering what other worthwhile things I've could've done in the 2 hours I used to watch it. But maybe it's just me...my friends sat around and laughed throughout the entire movie, why I will never understand...

 

Memento

 

Quote:
I suppose the only reason I could suggest this film to anyone is if I have a sincere desire to torture someone else, or the person I'm referring it to is just as confused as this movie is. The movie from beginning to end is exactly that, confusing. The constant "rewind technique" the film seems to use is part of the love/hate issue I experienced. I think it's very trendy technique though. It's just they use it way to often. You get 5 minutes ahead only to go back 10. It's very frustrating for me to watch. The only reason I finished the film was that I wanted to see if all this rewinding/fast forwarding was going to pay off. Somehow it never did.

Reservoir Dogs 1 star review

 

Quote:

Bad Script,, Useless Violence
I found the movie rather pointless....the script was definitely canned, it felt like I was watching a play. It never drew me into it, and most of it is set in an empty warehouse, which left nothing but the script to carry it. I also felt they were having blood just for blood's sake....the point of the movie? The cops are [jerks], gangsters are [jerks]---the whole world is full of [jerks]? That's great, Sherlock, how long did it take you to figure that one out?

Quote:
There are three important things you need to know about this movie that make it great:

1. It's not just for children (I'm not a child).
2. Kahuna owns.
3. It's too legit. That's right, too legit to quit.

There's a lot of people hating on this movie but they're not looking beneath the surface. I think we can all agree Mortal Kombat was one of the best movies. Well, a lot of this movie was done by the same people that worked on Mortal Kombat. The set at the end is where Liu Kang won the Mortal Kombat tournament if you look closely. Also, the choreographed fight scenes are almost identical (but somehow made better in this movie), it's obvious that Kahuna has Johnny Cage's moves. When I bring people to my house whether it's family, my friends, or some girl from the bar the first thing I do is sit them down and watch this movie with them. I know it sounds weird but it works. Kane is one of the best villains. He has it all - superpowers, charm, some might even say he's cunning. Sometimes I dress up as Kane at night and go lurking around my neighbor's house just to get a feel for the character. I do this at least twice a week and I pretend my garage is a fortress like Kane's, I got a bunch of halloween stuff leftover hanging up everywhere in there and it's awesome. I mean you don't have to do stuff like this to appreciate the movie but it helps. Being two dimensional about it will just make you hate the movie.

A Clockwork Orange

Quote:

In all honesty, I wanted to give Clockwork Orange zero stars, but there can be no denying the effectiveness of Malcolm McDowell's performance or of Stanley Kubrick's presentation. They present the film's story with tremendous effect.

 

Therein lies what makes the film horrible. McDowell plays Alex, a thug who spends his days raping, robbing, and otherwise violating the lives of innocent people. He is arrested and subjected to a government experiment to make thugs into clockwork oranges - drugs and hypnosis rob Alex of his aggression and make him repelled by sexuality, and thus unable to commit any further crimes. But the experiment blows up in the face of the government; by robbing Alex of his aggression, they've also robbed him of his ability to defend himself, so when his victims come calling, you don't have to imagine the vengeance they exact. Thus horrified, the government turns Alex back to his normal degenerate self.

 

There is supposed to be a moral lesson here, but we're not sure what it is. Kubrick establishes Alex as a worthless punk, but we are meant to be more horrified that he would be made docile and thus unable to defend himself when his victims get even with him. Provocative, yes, but such a theme also insults the viewer's intelligence; why should we sympathize with a man who deserves to be brutalized? Is Kubrick against the idea of punishment of criminals?

 

The film earns brownie points for looking at its subject with audacity, but ultimately fails because of a very real moral illiteracy.

This movie centers on an 11 year-old boy named North (Elijah Wood), who think that his parent don't appreciate him enough, and his journey around the world to find new Parents. Followed wherever he goes by his guardian angel, (Bruce Willis) he encouters a wonderful cast of people,including Jason Alexander, Dan Akroyd, and many more! It's funny, (watch out for a little cussing)and I liked it alot!

Over The Top, December 22, 2010

 

I liked a lot of things about this film:

1) It's the most engaging role Chevy Chase has ever played. In virtually ever other movie, he plays a doofus stumblebum loser - almost intolerable to watch. In this movie, he's adept, professional, and likable. How refreshing!

2) Demi Moore is great in this film! How delightful to see her do something other than misty-eyed melodramatic claptrap. Demi, you are welcome on my beamer any day of the week. Since we're neighbors, let's be friends!

3) The art and sets are fantastic!

It may be that a significant portion of the movie-viewing public relies on suspension-of-disbelief to enjoy a film. This probably isn't the right film for that. On the other hand, if you can enjoy a movie that is a great mix of writing, acting, directing, and producing - and complete creative nonsense - this movie is perfect.

But no, I don't write movie reviews on Amazon or anywhere else online. The only places online where I say anything about movies are here and on my flixster account (where the comments are more like mini reviews). There are actually a few movies in this thread that I don't like.

 

You guys are posting them like, "Holy shit, I can't believe people are actually stupid enough to pan these movies", but I had similar reactions to some of them. I just wouldn't write about them so childishly.

 

The problem with these reviews is they're so obnoxious that they can't possibly have any credibility. That and the fact that they're written on Amazon.com by people who sound like immature trolls, especially when they make the comparisons that they do.

 

I don't like "There Will Be Blood", "The Thing", "The Conversation", or "Chinatown", and I think "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" is overrated, but it's clear to me that they're brilliantly directed films. I just didn't really give a shit about their characters or stories.

 

And even I know that saying "The Usual Suspects" is better than "Chinatown" or "Transformers" is better than "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" is ridiculous. I liked "The Usual Suspects" and "Transformers" had its moments, but this is comparing great art to great trash.

In the Name of the King: 5 Star

Quote:
I always read the reviews and look at the rating on a movie before I buy a DVD on Amazon, which is where I buy most of my DVDs. When I looked at the reviews for In the Name of the King - A Dungeon Siege Tale I decided not to buy it and put it off for years. But during a search for another movie it came up and I decided to spend a whole $2.98 for the DVD from someone who was selling through Amazon. Boy had I been wrong, and had the reviews been so wrong on this one. I buy a lot of Fantasy movies, most of them in fact, and this is one of the best I have seen! Most are studio B with poor acting and film work. This one has a good story, good acting, and is very well made (good sets, good costuming, and so on). I love it. I do not understand the bad reviews from other people. When there is so much bad Science Fiction and Fantasy to complain about and this one is well made, why report it as bad? You guys are nuts.In short, this is a good Fantasy movie and well worth the selling price, buy it. Do not be silly like I was and pay any attention to the bad reviews.
