wonderful
2 July 2003
I've seen Matrix, X-men, the Hulk, and even Finding Nemo. I loved all these movies, but I think that T3 is the best movie of the summer. It had a better story than the Hulk, more action packed than X2 and more consistent(computer graphic wise) than Matrix.

It was exciting from the very begin. The first car chase seen was jaw dropping. I swear my mouth was opened the whole time from amazement. I was at the edge of my seat the whole time. Most of the computer graphics actually looked real. There are very few movies that have looked as good.

There are problems though. It is not as good as the first two. Allow there are better action scenes, the character development is lacking. In T2, you can sense a closeness between Arnold and John, but it just wasn't there in T3. Also there was little chemistry with John and lover interest Claire Danes. Danes is also suppose a close relationship with her father in the movie, but they don't develop it enough for you to care.

Despite that it is a well made movie. My advice, if you want a story as good as the first two, don't go. This movie is not going to win any oscars. If you love a good action movie, this is a must see.

Dune (2000)
7/10
Boring is a way to describe it
7 June 2003
After I saw the Dune miniseries, I could think of only one word. BORINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. I've never read the book and with a bunch of people saying how it did a good job with adaptation, I have no interest. If the book is as boring the miniseries, I never read it. Everyone in this movie was flat. I sensed no emotion from anyone. Yea, the baron is okay and the end of the movie mention important points that the 1980s version didn't. That cannot overshadow the bad acting, the stupid costumes, and the bad sets. It is was obvious that they weren't in the desert. It looks like it was done in a studio. And the costumes. I don't know who's idea it was to dress the Emperor, but I hope they got reamed for that one.

Now I don't say this because I saw the 80s version first and thought the new one didn't live up to it. I actually saw the miniseries first. My friend had to convince my to watch the 80s version, which I did like. It actually looked semi-real.

So for those who haven't seen either one, just save yourself time and energy and watch the 80s version.

Hudson Hawk (1991)
7/10
What was this movie?
27 May 2003
I think sometimes people make movies just because their fun and decide not to take themselves seriously. The same is for viewers. You can watch your Citizen Kane and Annie Hall. Their should be some movies that are just suppose to be taken seriously. Hudson Hawk is one. It is one of the silliest movies that I can't help but love. I'm saying it is as good and Airplane! or Naked Gun. I sort of fits in its own little category.

Its one of the few times that Bruce Willis is funny and I love Sandra Burnheart(which is big considering I don't care much for her.) Its also weird how funny David Caruso as Kit Kat, colorful mime.

If you want to sit down and watch a movie you don't take seriously(I mean it, do not try to think at all)then Hudson Hawk is perfect for you to watch.

Hope better than empire and Jedi?
24 April 2003
No way is a new hope better than Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. The first Star Wars has great special effects, but Empire has much better. The scenes with the millenium falcon are brilliant and better than any scene in Hope. Someone wrote how Hope has the best drama. You gotta be kidding me?

The acting is really flat in Hope and Empire is much darker. It's the darkest one. In my opinion it is Empire is the best one and Jedi is right behind it. Jedi also has better effects and a better Death Star battle.

Let's just end any debate that Hope is better than Empire or Jedi.

Get Over It (2001)
7/10
A better version than "Better of dead"
23 April 2003
If you have seen Better of Dead, it's very similar. Guy gets dumb by girlfriend for a cooler guy. He has to get her back and another girl helps him. Through all this, this crazy stuff happens to him. The only difference is that Get Over It has better jokes.

I love this movie. It follows the same plot and a usual teen movie, but the jokes in this movie actually work. Most teenie boppers are flat and boring. Martin Short and Shane West's horrible British accent steal the movie. This best a teen movie and I have no complaints. I first saw it two years ago and I still quote it.

better than menace
23 April 2003
I really like this movie. It still does not hold a candle to the "Holy Trilogy", it's good enough to be mention in the same breath. It starts out with amazing chase scene in corizont. Hayden Christiansen is not a horrible Anakin. Everyone thinks the love story stinks, but it works for me(Natalie Portman is too hot for me care).

The end battle scene is amazing and you can't hate Christopher Lee and Count Dooku.

I definitely think it is one of the best movies 2002. I just can't wait for Episode III.

Who cares whatever one else thinks.
22 April 2003
I like this movie. I came out of the theater four years ago and thought the movie was great. I've seen it a bunch since then and I still think it is a good movie. People's expectations are too high. "It's not as good as the original trilogy," they say. Well of course not. Not many movies are. You have to take it for it is. The acting is not great, dialogue could be better, but it is still a good movie. It has the best lightsaber battle than all five movies, and the pod racing scene is amazing.

Everyone hates this movie,yet it is the fourth highest grossing movie of all time(If not for the re-release of E.T. it would be third) Stop being so picky people and just enjoy the good moments. It's easy to make fun of the bad parts and curse this movie. I could think a thousand movies that are worse.(Especially some that are over-hyped.)

Bring It On (2000)
What I want.
24 January 2003
This was a wonderful creative, hip movie. Not wait I was thinking about something else.

On a scale of one to ten, it sucked.

The dialogue was cheesy. I didn't find anything funny. It's just the same stupid teen junk. This suppose to be a movie that promotes cheerleaders, yet I had a lower opinion of cheerleaders after I saw this movie.

I felt sick after this movie. I've never felt sick after movie before or since I saw Bring it On.

If you read this you might think that I'm overbearing male who doesn't like teen movies, you'd be wrong though. I find some of them enjoyable, this is not one of them.

If not for Battlefield Earth and Dungeons and Dragons, this would be the worst movie of 2000
