The pacing in this one is lightning fast. Almost to the point where it's a tad off-putting. Like all the other Scanners movies, I think it's only decent. And also like all the other Scanners movies it kept me mildly engaged.
OK, so this is one of "those" Spielberg films. I guess it would have been an alright flick to fall asleep to on basic cable circa 1998.
Making a comedy set in WWII-era Los Angeles was a great idea. Too bad they forgot to make it any good.
Well made. I liked the pacing. Very dialogue heavy, to a fault. This is a classic example of "tell, don't show". Tarantino is a crafty filmmaker even when he's making not very good films, and this is a case of that.
For what it's worth this is probably my favorite Tarantino flick since Jackie Brown. It falls into a lot of the same trappings of modern Tarantino films. To much reliance on not great dialogue. Cringeworthy humor. Trying too hard to be cool. But there's enough of a spark here that I sat tight through the whole 3 hours.
The Great Silence, which this movie was clearly heavily inspired by, is one of my favorite films of all time, and I really do think this picture did that one justice by expending on some of its core themes. Now that's damn high praise coming from me. Even if there's not a whole lot else I can compliment this film on, I can at least say that.
It'd be easy for me to say this is another typical, overwrought Demi Moore movie from the 80s, but really it's an ever-so-slightly above average, overwrought Demi Moore movie from the 80s.
They really jumped the shark with this one
God this movie is terrible. I love every second of it.
Kinda slow, but the climax is great.
Very well made, but very long and not particularly interesting.
Early example of a dog video. Very fun.
Edison Manufacturing Company's finest fire fighting film.
A great leap forward in American narrative filmmaking. This is where Edison films truly entered the new century.
Could have done with a bit more disrobing.
Remakes never live up to the original...
Yep, that's a sneeze alright.
The original wasn't anything superb, but I was surprised by how bad this one was. That doesn't happen too often.
Serviceable sequel. Yes, it's more of the same, but more of a good thing is still a good thing.
Did not expect to like this one as much as I did. Probably the best King film I've seen yet, and certainly deserves a much higher placement as part of the '80s horror canon.
Goddamn, this was a really fun movie except for all the parts with the kid in it. Why Hollywood insists on ruining hard R action movies with children is beyond me.
Never really got why this one gets so much slack. Yes it's bad, but in a similar way to the 60s TV show. It's pure camp, and certainly more entertaining than Batman Forever.
An embarrassment and a waste... much like the Concorde itself.
I want to like this one so much. It's very flawed, but there's a lot of good here. It looks great, the culture clash aspect works well, the performances are great, but the story is just too weak. It should be a classic, but I can only really give it a strong 7.
Some cool late '70s tech on display in this one. That weird era where everything was woodgrain. Woodgrain TVs, woodgrain pong machines, woodgrain stereos... The movie itself? Eh, it's another Airport flick who cares.
Pretty well made for what is essentially just a lesbo-sleaze flick.
Being incomplete makes it a bit hard to fairly judge, but what remains is a disjointed and heavy-handed mess, albeit with a fair degree of competent filmmaking and classy spectacle.
One of the worst films I've ever seen. How people continue to make apologies for it is beyond me.
Well put together psych-noir. Edward G. Robinson is great as always.
Big step down from the first one. Sort of a take off of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Has its moments, but mostly poor.
Was pleasantly surprised with this one. Cool to see Michael X in a film like this, he was an interesting character and gets overlooked a lot. Not sure how much I trust the marketing of the film, what with the whole gag order thing, but it's the UK so who knows. All around good period heist film that I haven't seen mentioned enough.
Honestly don't think it's that much of a step down from the first two. They weren't that great to begin with.
