A simple "feel good" movie
26 August 2009
I'm going to keep this short. Watched it, loved it.

It's a simple, "feel good" movie with the greatest music of the 60's and 70's that will make you smile. Sure it's not realistic when it comes to peoples communications and reactions to certain incidents but thats the charm of it. It even has a little twist of drama but not enough to ruin the comedy.

It was amazing to me how the soundtrack just managed to get better and better, endless amount of rock/pop singles, thoughts like "aaaa i love that song" and " ohh man i had forgotten that one" often occurred to me.

I thought the characters and the actors were great although some of the characters we're a bit useless i liked them after i was about 20 min into the film.

I think we could use some pirate rock stations where i live, stations that will play and say what ever they please.

Final words. A movie witch is fun to watch.

!!A great movie!!...90% of these comments are useless
16 December 2008
Warning: Spoilers
After seeing The original movie i thought i would check out the new one because i found the message of the movie fascinating. So i checked on IMDb first to see the ratings and comments and after reading the comments i was doubtful of the movie but decided to go anyway and....THIS MOVIE IS GREAT. Now, i usually don't like Hollywood films with there shitty dramatic every thing ends well formula but this one was good. I think most of the people didn't get it, this movie shows and mocks the stupidity of the government and how it would probably react with there guns,tanks and missiles witch of course had no affect and we the humans think that we are all mighty and every one is scared of us and the movie shows it. Kathy Bates as Regina Jackson did an amazing job at pissing me off as the stupid idiot of America that in the end discovers the stupidity of her and whom she was representing(The president of USA).

Effects we're awesome, Keanu was made for the role of Klaatu, Gort was epic and transformed into these little bugs or flies that eat every thing man has made. Much better then if Gort in his original form would have destroyed the earth. and what i also liked was the way "they"(ailiens) collected most of earths creatures like Noah's ark(the story). The script got a little messy in the end with a little Hollywood drama but nothing that got out of hand(unlike the ending of war of the worlds). I also liked that the director kept some of the features from the original. However what i disliked the most was that damn Will smith kid(Jaden smith) damn he was annoying, not as an actor but the character of Jacob Benson.

In the end 8/10 go see it in the theater. worth it!

Dumb,silly,not funny....just another Brendan film
12 December 2008
Warning: Spoilers
First i'd like to ask why Brendan Fraser?? Why is he still "acting", Brendan is a movie Cancer he's always annoying, over acting, always silly and of course his horrible one-liners witch will make me eat my ears one day. Knowing this was yet another Brendan Fraser film my standards we're pretty low but decided to watch it anyway. So i put on my 3D glasses and yea takes a while to adjust....no wait, i never did adjust to it...those damn glasses bothered me the whole movie. I wish i'd seen this one in the theaters because i think and hope that the 3D thing works better there.

!!Spoiler alert!!

Now on to the film, The dialogue was awful and almost every single thing that was said in the movie made it feel stupid and unreal. I know this is an adventure film and is aimed towards kids and adults but none of it made sense. Just how they got there....they fell trough some muscovite and we're falling for some 3-4 min making jokes on the way down and then boom...safe because they landed on a water slide and just things like Brandon Fraser fighting off meat eating plants and fishes while he's One-lining, over acting and playing cool'n'funny...ughh and what the hell was a Tyrannosaurus rex doing in the center of the earth around nothing but rocks. Clearly i'm not a person who likes unrealistic adventure films but hey...a bad film is a bad film...and this clearly is one!
