The Man with the Iron Fists (2012)

Waste.

[3/10 · 15 December 2012]

I would give it less than 3 but want to save that for the FEW movies I've seen even worse than this one. I was sucked in seeing 'Tarantino' in the description and was oh-so-thoroughly disappointed. Poor acting, terrible plot; foul-languaged rap songs that really have no place in this (or any, really) movie, and the ridiculous narration by RZA. I like Lucy Liu, but not here. The fight scenes all looked too staged, filmed in bits and pieces, where ANYONE can look like a martial arts expert. Same with the sets - this movie could have been filmed practically anywhere. As character after character is dispatched, you're left thinking...so what? The 'love story' between the Blacksmith and Lady Silk (RZA and Jamie Chung) was totally unbelievable, so much so that when she is killed, once again, I'm thinking....so what?

Other comments I deem believable sum it up best:

• One of the Worst Films I've Seen Recently, - Painful to Watch, - Terrible..Extremely Terrible, - More Blood than Purpose...

No idea how it has over 6 for a rating, just makes IMDb ratings less and less useful.

Cowboys & Aliens (2011)

why IMDb fails

[1/10 · 7 January 2012]

This movie epitomizes why it's impossible to use IMDb ratings when searching for a movie to watch. There is no way on this green earth that this movie should rate above a 3 or 4. The acting was poor to the point of amateurish, the plot had so many holes in it you have to assume they expected the special effects to carry the movie. The attempts at humor were either in inappropriate places or not funny enough to take your mind off how bad this film was. I was astonished to find Ron Howard's and Steven Spielberg's names involved in this....well, Ron Howard's, anyway. So much of this movie just screamed "STUPID" at the audience.

The only reason we watched it was because of the 6.2 IMDb gave it. Perhaps there was a computer error and the score SHOULD have been 2.6. I just thank my lucky stars we rented this for a dollar thru Redbox and NOT at the theater. I would have HAD to insist on getting my money back.

Egads, I have to purge any memory of this movie out of my poor head.
