^I thought it was like a re-attempt at Mad Max only with Kevin Costner and a lot of water instead of dry land. Okay entertaining, but certainly didn't live up to all the extravaganza involved in making it.

Oh come on, I realize it's something you could watch on a Sunday afternoon with your grandparents, but it's nowhere near being in the same category as New World and there's absolutely nothing pretentious about it. On the contrary, it's got a great story which everyone can easily understand and/or relate to, great and convincing actors and one of the most memorable scores ever.

Plus, it's got loads of people speaking posh English, how can it possibly suck?

OT:

Standard kitchen-sink drama. Unremarkable.

No seriously, I just saw it for the first time a few months ago and absolutely hated it. And the score was good but completely inappropriate for the movie.

You must be one of the very few people on the planet that hated it. I don't feel that strongly about it to actually debate it, but yeah, you're weird...

I just watched Joe Kidd. Further proof that Clint Eastwood is the baddest mother fucker to ever walk the Earth. If you fuck with him he will, without a second thought, run a train through your store and shoot every mother fucker in the place. Bad. Ass.

Fear & Loathing In Las Vagas

First time I've seen this one after seeing many other Johnny Depp one's and loving them, dunno what to make of it, bit strange, good in parts, bit dull in others.

Maybe it's one I need to watch another couple of times to appreciate it.

7/10.

Maybe I would have liked this if I saw it when it was released. However, I saw it yesterday and found it pretty boring. I much preferred Alien. Not that Alien is that amazing either. Mediocre action, story and the SFX hurt it for me. I am spoiled, I just saw Avatar over the weekend. sorry for the stream of consciousness writing.

Count me in as another hater and you say Wish You Were Here is unremarkable? Chariots of Fire is ridiculously bland and so myopic in it's depiction of our nation it makes me weep.

I am almost insulted that Chariots Of Fire is held up by so many when it's a horrible piece of film that celebrates middle class values as the epitome of our nation. I would take WYWH a 1000 times over Chariots Of Fire.

I watched this for the first time in a few years tonight and still get a little choked by this scene, especially when he puts his face against the picture. I'm such an easily manipulated guy:
