What sets this movie apart from other, less funny, movies is a scene near the end. It's supposed to be World War 2. The Nazis are coming, but in old junk American cars from the 60s. They even have swastikas spray painted on the side of them. As far as great scenes in awful movies, it doesn't get any better than that!

The attention to detail in this movie is downright pathetic. The movie is supposed to be about kickboxing and a kickboxing school, but the big competition at the end is just karate. Granted it is in a boxing ring, but even I, with my knowledge of kickboxing gleaned from flipping through ESPN2 every so often, know that kickboxing is pretty much just boxing with kicks allowed. It is not karate in a boxing ring. If I were to make a movie about something I would at least have a clue as to what it is. The wooden acting and the stupid dialogue almost made this a so bad it's good movie, but not quite.

I can't understand how this movie is considered a classic. There is no plot and way too much time is spent with Hopper and Fonda just riding their bikes. This makes for a boring ride. Whenever the guys do stop somewhere exciting stuff rarely happens. The only redeeming parts of this movie were Nicholson and the soundtrack. I wish I had fast-forwarded to the ending, which was the best part of the movie.

This films gets worse every time I see it. The worst part of it is the fact that the scientists know so much about the dinos, even though they've been gone for so long. For example, how do the scientists know that if they don't move then the T-Rex can't see them? How could have they possibly figured that out by looking at bones? And they tell us that the raptors hunt together and use teamwork to sneak up on people. How can looking at fossils convey that sort of information?

This has got to be one of the most boring movies I have seen. While watching this movie, I expected for a plot to show up at some point. It never did. It was just a bunch of people taking drugs and talking. What a great idea for a film.

How do the scientists know that a T-Rex cannot see them unless they move? The worst part about this movie (aside from the many holes in the plot) is that the scientists know all of the behavior of dinosaurs that no one has ever seen alive. If this movie were a fish, I'd throw it back.

If you enjoyed Norm on Saturday Night Live and his brand of slow and deliberate humor, you will love this movie. The writing isn't great, but even during the stupidest scenes, I laughed just because of the comic timing. The overuse of the note-to-self gag that he did on the Weekend Update during this movie was reminiscent of David Letterman saying one joke over and over again on his show. One warning: If you object to hearing the word "whore", don't see this movie.

This movie is great and is almost the exact same as the book version. It has great action scenes, a fairy tale plot, and some great humor mixed in. It's one of a few movies that made me actually care what happens in the end. The characters are well thought out. Besides any movie that has Andre the Giant in it has to be good.
