Lol, might watch it sometime. God movies are bad these days. Avatar was absolutely horrible. The Phantom Menace in 3D, for little girls. Cameron is really ****ed up now as a movie maker. I liked him much better when he made movies for boys with powerful women thrown in so the gf would go and see the movie with them, instead of movies for little girls with some stuff thrown in to lure the boys in as well. Roger Rabbit was a better cartoon, better story, better chick (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wxy8bLzsCfM). Oh, sorry Ripster, wrong link.

I was wondering when an alien would show up and make the movie really interesting. lol

I can predict his next movie.  Aliens vs predators vs blue elves. roflol

i think jurassic park is kind of a B movie to start with.  a big budget and awesome B movie.  i love it.  but i dont think the actors are out of place.

i was actually going to watch it tonight, really, by coincidence... but cant stop repetitive routine stops on the internet.

HELLEAU, JOHN

Avatar is OK. I think it is a milestone in cinema. I enjoyed it a lot.

C'mon, Jurassicpark isn't that bad! At least it has some atmosphere, proper story construction/buildup, it draws a moral (the dangers of tinkering with DNA and that its bad trying to play god) ...and, it has Jeff. The new Starwars movies lack all of this! :/

Still, Yoda the muppet looks more realistic than the blue CGIs.

This. The original three Star Wars movies had much better special effects, IMO, than the newer ones. While CGI is more flexible, it doesn't have that realistic feel. CGI just puts me off of a lot of movies. It feels like a hack job from someone's home PC.  That is, unless the entire movie is animated like Toy Story, for example.

for macy, i always think of fargo (like you guys) and boogie nights ("that's my ****ing wife!")

i still dont get why you lump jurassic park into your crappy effect-laden movies (the rest of which are well deserved)... i mean, most of it was animatronics anyway

And it has two cute cuddly kids to make it a family movie. *facepalm*

True, the kids were lame...
They should have added a dumb disinterested chubby boy (like in Two and a Half Men) for the lulz.
Still, I prefer 2 lame kids over something annoying, disgusting and *add swear word here* as Jarjar Binks!

Haha, just like the good Star Wars movies, ends on a group scene with everyone smiling like crazy.

I just watched the review, and I have to say... he's right. The review was more entertaining than the film. Really deserves to be shown on TV. Preferably right before showing the movie. What station would be brave enough though?

The real tragedy is that The Phantom Menace made complete sense before they took out the sex scenes. Turns out that Darth wasn't Luke's father after all.

Come on, golden rings are sexier than tight white leotard over a skinny body.
BTW, paedophilia is illegal right?

I have no collection of seeing Leia in that bikini the first time I saw the film. Surprising, as I was a hormone-charged teenager when it came out.

When I saw it again years later, I nearly splurted my drink over the screen, and was thinking WHAT ... THE ... ????

I think the first time I saw the film it had been censored. What a crime against humanity.
