I was expecting it to be a movie that could shake a person, but that didn't happen somehow. It's not that it was downright bad, it's still a film about a powerful war story, but the execution is sometimes so expected, as if the emotions that it could have had disappeared from the artificiality.

The Crazies brilliantly references how, in a critical moment, people intervene who may not even have the appropriate competencies, people who may not even want to protect but simply go and do as they're told. They become sheep, human sheep, who are not able to discern right from wrong; they just go and don't look to the right or left. They don’t think. George A. Romero was simply brilliant in this critique.

Once something is happening, then it's good, it's funny, and it has the right drive. But once all the participants start talking a lot, it's no longer the same, and it becomes just awkward, without any proper lines, and with the ladies behaving, pardon the expression, like cows. No exceptions. Overall, an interesting cast that is killed by unnecessary chatter lacking depth or humor.

Sure it's bad, Stan Lee himself said this movie shouldn't have happened, but the worst part is, it didn't. It didn't have a proper premiere, even though it was filmed. Yet far worse films have been made that deserve actual damnation. For me, it's ultimately still the best adaptation of these comic book characters.

A classically bad American disaster film that also dabbles in sci-fi, which is too far-fetched, overly melodramatic, and taken too seriously, even though it would have been much better if treated as a classic B-movie, albeit with fairly good effects. The cast was good, and that's the only thing that deserves to be praised.

Well, I was flabbergasted. This isn't just any ordinary crime/thriller, this is a proper gritty film about two brothers who decide to take justice into their own hands as two saints who are chosen to rid the world of filth. There's also the great Willem Dafoe, who is breathtaking as the policeman. A big surprise!

Definitely the weakest Ernest film I've seen so far. It's all about the Jim Varney shenanigans now, which just isn't enough for a good story. There's an interesting contrast between the smart and dumb Ernest, but it ends precisely as Ernest becomes more and more stupid. This actually kills it and at times it hurts to watch the film.

While Bloodlock has some potential in terms of plot, any chance of scaring the viewer is killed by the almost amateurish execution that drags throughout the film. It's a shame because mysterious rooms and what's behind them is a subject I quite like. But there's nothing here that would upset you or make you tense. These creators simply couldn't have done more with it.

I was expecting this to be something really bad, but as it turned out, it wasn't nearly as bad as one would think. There are good elements of sci-fi, there's even some relationship drama, in this case between a father and daughter, which is a bit cliché but alright, it's tolerable, and then there's also the special effects aspect, which pleasantly surprises.

A film that suited me both in terms of its humor and its plot. It's a reference to the old crime shows that were far-fetched. It is a parody of them, but a celebration of them as well. It's got the right retro style to it, which I like, and it's really very silly in places, which I like even more. It just took me a few minutes to get into the humor. But then it was great.
