Serenity (2005)
This movie is awesome! I can't believe the last 3 pages are bad reviews!
About 53 of the now 57 pages are people raving about how good the movie is, that should tell you something right there! I have no idea why there is an obvious slander war about the last 3 pages against this movie. And I can see someone maybe giving this movie like a 5 or 6 if they are not fans of the TV show, but come on guys, a "1", gee, that low of a score is reserved for true dogs like "From Justin to Kelly" and "Glitter"! LOL! If you're not a sci-fi fan don't see this movie. If you're a sci-fi fan but haven't seen the TV series then rent the DVDs first, then see the movie, you'll definitely understand more about the characters, etc. The show was only canceled because FOX didn't allow it to develop enough, thankfully the SCI-FI channel had enough sense to FINALLY grab it, but after it was canceled. I sincerely hope the Sci-Fi channel will bring it back, but I have to say that the movie version was far superior in every way to the TV show.
Now some fans are complaining because main characters were killed off almost without warning, but hey, I think that added realism to the story, I like it when any of them has a chance of dying, of course American audiences as a whole hate that sort of thing.
I personally think this movie is great, but I can only give it a 9 out of 10, it has a few editing missteps here and there and towards the end the movies becomes somewhat predictable and formulated, but it was highly entertaining overall and keep my interested throughout the picture. I just wish the TV show could have been as high-budget as this movie. I have no problems putting this movie in the same category of greatness of the Star Wars, Star Trek, and other sci-fi favorites of mine, I can't wait until it comes out on DVD!
Slipstream (1989)
good movie
This was a great movie.
But it's not a mindless shoot em up bang bang sci-fi flick.
I can't believe this got such a low rating, of course, look at how many people voted on it, probably just the IMDb staff who tend to side with critics that lose site of the fact the movies are for entertainment.
Compared to a lot of other mindless sci-fi genre this is a classic, let's vote on this one and get it back up to where it belongs in th 8's and 7;s!
It's for sci-fi fans that don't need a bunch of special FX in order to enjoy a good movie.
You should give this movie a look see.
Just my opinion.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)
good but horrible ending....
It was good but had a horrible ending. I really get upset when authors use a timewarp to go back and fix mistakes, it cheats the audience. The only time that Time Travel should be used as a plot device is when the main story is about time travel. Too many times do major movies and tv shows use this plot device to fix problems within the plot. Even superman, star trek, andromeda, and other popular movies and tv shows use it. Lame. The first movie was better. This one is worth seeing though, but I'm waiting for the next one. Hopefully the plot will be better.........
Hellboy (2004)
yes!
Anyone who expects a comic book movie to not be cheesy, full of computer animations and a sometimes non-detailed plot has to be a moron. Comic book movies are supposed to be cheesy over-the-top fun. This movie is no exception. Bottom line: this movie is fun to watch, just like Spiderman, the Batman Movies, Superman, and X-men (notice I left out the HULK! ha!). If you like super hero or action movies you'll like this one. If you like chick flicks where everyone is full of angst and sorrow about complex dating rituals, etc. then this isn't your movie. For a comic book genre movie, I would give HELLBOY 8 out of ten stars. It's a fairly clean movie too so 12 year-olds should be able to watch it.
Torque (2004)
I can't believe this movie got made!!!
Ya know I like "motor movies" just like the next guy, but for God's sake people, let's have some storyline, some acting, something other than explosions, loud movies, special effects, and T&A!
They have plent of good motor movies to watch:
Days of Thunder, Grand Prix, On Any Sunday, any of these are far, far better. Even Driven was better and that's not saying much!
School of Rock (2003)
yes!
I saw the new Kill Bill movie which was thouroughly repulsive, disgusting, and un-entertaining and I was bummed. So I did a U-turn and watched this movie, hoping for a much better experience. I don't normally pay the full non-matinee price, but I did for this one.
What can I say, the movie is quite formulac and you can see the plot unfold without much surprize but bottom line: it was funny without using curse words or being disgusting or insulting. It was also entertaining and uplifting too, you really rooted the main character on throughout the movie. Yes, of course it had a happy ending, Jack Black saves the day, etc.
I'm giving the movie a 9.5 out of 10. A /5 deduction for being a bit predictable but overall this was a great movie. Good acting, good casting, and most of all the music was great.
If you're a Classic Rock fan or a Jack Black fan, you won't be disappointed. -Daniel Pryor Eureka, Ca
Glitter (2001)
anyone who liked this movie is either a 13-year-old girl or an idiot or both!
Anyone who liked this movie should have their head examined. I have no doubt in my mind that this will win not only worst picture of the year, but worst picture of the dang decade! I think mariah carey had a mental breakdown because she knew she would be embarrased to release the picture! Please Mariah and do us a favor: stick to your singing, or better yet just go away!
Impostor (2001)
UUUUUUUUGGGGh! Don't waste your time or money! IIIcck!
Don't waste your time or money on this flop! This movie should have went straight to video and then a week later showed on the Sci-Fi Channel! There's not much positive to say about the movie except, well, actually I can't think of anything! Go see Lord OF The Rings for the third time instead of this horrible thing!
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
Excellent movie, in fact best movie of the year!
The movie follows the book almost perfectly and in areas where it doesn't it still works. In my humble opinion this is the best movie of the year! For those 429 people who gave this movie a ranking of 1, whay did yo do that? Probably to sabotage the ranking as no one in their right mind would give this masterpiece a one. Even if you didn't like this movie because of the subject matter you still couldn't give the movie a ranking lower than 7(good) or 8(excellent) because of the skill that went into making it. Be objective when you vote. Even I didn't like the movie's subject matter, I always give points for good movie making. SEVEN was a movie that in my opinion was amazingly put together, but I didn't care for the subject matter and it was hard to get through it because it was was disturbing, but I give it an 8 or 9 because I recognize the skill. Anyway, go see this movie, over and over again. I've seen it three times now and find more details I've missed each time.
Only thing about this movie is that they had to market the heck out of it: can you say "Lord of The Onion Rings" anybody? -Daniel Pryor
Osmosis Jones (2001)
uuuuuuuuuuuggghh! I want my money back!
What a total lump of poopoo this was! You've got to be kidding people! Any positive reviews of this movie are plants or insiders from the movie makers themselves! yuuck! disgusting movie!, not gross digusting but just plain awful!
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001)
If you're a final fantasy fan stay away!
The only saving grace of this movie was the absolutely amazing special effects (computer art) in it! Otherwise this movie would be rated a 1 out of a ten. There is no "crystals" connection like in the rpg games and it's not even a "fantasy" it's sci-fi! You don't even care about the characters and the movies drags on and on with only a few interesting spots in the picture: the first 15 minutes, and interesting car chase scene here and there. There's nothing in the picture that is all that original. With all the hype that this movie has received and all the buzz, it was a big let down!
