Crystal Skull is way better than many fans give it credit for.

 

[Lord]

Fans hated it more than critics, critics mostly gave it positive reviews

 

[Rowsdower!]

I found myself trying really hard to like Crystal Skull as I watched it, but eventually I just had to give up.

 

[The Morningstar]

Same here. I enjoyed it up until the part where Indy and Mutt went to South America. From then on it was just... crap.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Yeah, people talk about the "Nuke the Fridge" thing being the moment where the movie reached maximum suckage, and while I'll concede that it was lame, it didn't kill it for me. I kept going with it. But once it got to the ants and monkeys, I was done.

Also, it should be noted that John Rhys-Davies turned down a part in the movie, and that should tell you something. Look, I love JRD, but it's not like he always picks the best material. That guy will damn near do ANYTHING for a paycheck.

The Dark Knight is not my favorite Batman movie; I like the 1989 film much more.

This. I love the monkeys scene and damn the naysayers- I just don't see the problem. I came out of the theater constantly thinking about how cool an homage that Tarzan swinging scene was, but then everyone blew up about it and I shut up forever about it. Well, no longer.

I always liked Wild Wild West.

 

[Max J Power]

While most of my enjoyment of Wild Wild West comes from nostalgia, I think, without bias, that it's not that bad a movie.

TDK is the only great Batman movie. But maybe that's not such an unpopular opinion, I don't know anymoret:

I always liked Wild Wild West.

I always liked Wild Wild West... the TV Show

 

[Travesty]

I don't even think I've seen Wild Wild West.

 

[bullets]

I never gave it a chance but now I'm surprised to read that maybe I should.

 

[Homer J. Fong]

Keep in mind, though, that liking Wild Wild West is an unpopular opinion. (I personally go with the majority in thinking it's an unfunny mess.)

 

[Jordacar]

Strangely, I've noticed a cluster of unaffiliated reviewers tackling Wild Wild West in the last couple of weeks; The Blockbuster Chick (from TheAgonyBooth) and both ERod and ThatSciFiGuy from TGWTG. Better to watch those guys rake the movie over the coals than slog thru it yourself.

I'M THE MASTER OF THE MECHANICAL STUFF! p

Gwynplaine, are you glad that your mandrake the magician movie may Finally happen?

Gwynplaine, are you glad that your mandrake the magician movie may Finally happen?

I haven't heard about. Thanks for the info Do you know any more by chance. Like who's playing Mandrake, who's directing and if it's going to be a period piece or not?

[gwynplaine]

Cool, thanks for the link. I just hope that Criss Angel will not be playing Mandrake. I think someone like Tom Hiddleston could pull it off and I hope it's a period piece.

 

[DacoitONE]

Donnie Brasco is a better movie than The Departed.

The Kiss of Death remake with Nic Cage is better than the original.

I just watched 2001 and whilst I thought the movie was visually stunning, I thought the movie was utter utter rubbish. slow, nonsensical and completely self indulgent. best science fiction movie ever made? do a ****ing favour
