OK, so not too many movies deserve a 1 rating, and neither does this one. But I have to do something to keep this from staying in the top 250. Judging by how high up it is already, I'm fighting a losing battle. But still, if anyone watched the same movie as me and is over the age of 12 this movie would not be close to the ranking it holds. Here's why: Weak plot-How many times do we have to see the "noble" average man try to do something meaningful with his life and wind up falling in love with nature? *Yawn* The whole thing is beyond cliché and too predictable to even hope that something will surprise you. The main bad guy is a jacked up cartoon villain while while the others are just plain looking soldiers. You knew what he was going to do the second he walked on the screen. *Yawn* You've also got floating mountains, a fake mineral called ubotonium or something like that, and giant blue cats who worship (ready?) A tree that omits floating white jellyfish. Whoa...

Bad writing-The writing was almost as bad as the GI Joe movie. I felt like I was watching the Power Rangers. Whether the acting was decent or not is lost because of the weak dialog. Nobody really had anything to work with, but what can you expect from a blockbuster action flick? I'm no fool. I know James Cameron saw an opportunity to make some easy money and he took it. And it worked. Records are being broke as I type. But he cashed in on technology that he knew people would gobble up. He sloppily threw together multiple cliché elements of other similar movies, made them fluorescent and 3D, and stretched it to 2 1/2 hours to make it seem epic. If this was M. Night whatshisface I wouldn't care as much. But James Cameron c'mon. Take this movie out of 3D (why people care about that I still have no idea, the 3D shades make the movie too dark) and you've got fantasy dribble that holds no water, makes no logical sense, and can't hold a candle to the Lord of The Rings series.

People must be crazy to say this wasn't a good movie. Sure there's plenty of goofy stuff going on, but it's supposed to be funny. But what I really like about it is the fact that the action is very over the top and still watchable. The movie makers got to have a ton of fun by setting the movie in an imaginary world. And it's just as fun to watch. Arnold is hilarious as always, how can you not love watching him? I also love the scenes when our hero enters the real world. It immediately becomes grim and gloomy. Plus its a cool plot, and the villains are pretty interesting too.

People who bash this movie simply don't know how to take it. Is it action? Is it comedy? Is it supposed to be comedy? Yes to all. Great concept, tons of action, and lots of laughs. Get off your high horses and just enjoy this classic.

OK, so I had a lot of beef with this new Halloween. I'm not going to whine about it, I'll just start listing the cons of this film. -Why does the story take place in Illinois but everyone in the movie is a redneck with a pickup truck and a dog in the back? -The originals took place in the suburbs, not in hicksville where the houses are miles away from each other (Michael hikes it through miles of farmland) -Dr. Loomis is a huuuge dick until the last 2 minutes of the movie. He's supposed to be the hero! We root for him. Without him there's no one else to like except maybe the sheriff. -Michael Myers has to kill everything he comes in contact with. This isn't necessarily wrong but he does everything with way too much passion, like he planned it all out. It was over violent as far as Michael Myers movies go. He even makes noise while hacking people apart. He never even talked before but now they show him talking as a kid like he was perfectly normal. -Rob Zombie copied off of the Friday the 13th movies with the visions of the mother. Not to mention Psycho. Big ripoff. -Everyone feels the need to antagonize the 7 foot guy walking through the streets with his hood up. Need I say more?

Rob Zombie put no original thought into this movie. It's totally clichéd and butchered the Michael Myers story to pieces. On top of all that, I can't stand the redneck theme that Zombie has added to the whole story. The movie moved along OK, but didn't get interesting until the last twenty minutes or so. No need to waste your time, unless B movie horror is what you're in the mood for.

You know what, I have to agree with the comment preceding my own for the most part. Very dull movie, slow-paced, bad acting, unbelievable characters. And I didn't really understand the prank in the bedroom. What did they do to that condom? But I digress.

For some reason I still see hints of potential gleaming through this dark cloud of a film. For example, the scene towards the end when the sun is rising and the music is playing and we see all the characters waking up. I found that to be a beautiful scene. Great song choice and just a nice scene all around. And when the jock comes back to the house in the morning dressed as a clown. I chuckled.

What I guess I'm trying to say is that I've seen worse, but not too much worse. Films would benefit much more if the writers did not force so much, and just let the essence of the film speak for itself.

I just saw the movie today so I wanted to do this while it was fresh in my mind.

I was never a GI Joe fan, but of course when a big summer blockbuster like this comes along, any guy is gonna go see it. (Even if the only other summer blockbuster I enjoyed this year was Star Trek.) GI Joe, though entertaining and containing some warm and fuzzy moments, was another let down for me. I won't drag this out, since it doesn't take much explaining.

The acting was sub par at best. Tatum, not a bad actor, but not badass enough to carry this. There were moments where I was all the way behind him, and other moments where I wondered how he got casted.

Gordon-Levitt. Been around a while, always been decent. But he turns into this evil villain and hams it up so bad, you want to die every time he's on the screen. Reminded me of a power ranger villain. There was literally a part when he "Muahahahaha"'d in there. Horrible.

That leads me to the writing. There was some laughably bad dialogue that makes you wonder who they thought would be watching this movie. And it bothers me even more that decent enough actors were forcing out these cheesy lines. The guy who played in Traitor and Vantage Point is usually good as well. But he plays the nerdy computer hacker guy, he's so wimpy and corny I can't stand him. Oh and by the way, somehow we can pinpoint someone's location by seeing where their shadow was 50 hours ago. Wtf?? Oh well. Throw in Marlon Wayans for a couple cheap chuckles and it's OK.

The special effects weren't even good enough to make up for the bad acting. But it did have decent action scenes, and they were also nice and long. Good rental, good time killer, but not a classic at all.

I've seen plenty of ppl go over why this movie wasn't good, but I'm just so bothered by all the ppl who loved it that I had to add my opinion in.

I'd like to start by saying that this movie is nothing like the classic Superbad. Only thing in common is the Greg Motolla the director, Bill Hader, and Jesse Eisenberg acting just like Michael Cera. Almost too much like him. I can't figure out how he was getting that much action. Weird.

The movie is not funny. No laughs, just one or two chuckles. Very misleading. Just like Nick and Norah. Boring. An hour and a half that felt like three hours. No suspense or wondering because you can see exactly what is about to happen. Dumb cop-out ending. And they were at an amusement park. That seemed like a cool concept, but nothing was really done with it. Ryan Reynolds I think was also a little out of place. Not bad acting, just not him maybe. There were even scenes when peoples hair was different between shots. This is a B movie at best. Which is not a bad thing, but it doesn't live up to the hype behind Superbad or any other teen film we've seen lately. Don't bother with it. Wait for Funny People with Sandler and Rogen to come out, or go see I Love You Man.

By the way, why the hell do ppl think that Superbad takes place in the 80s???? Did they have Nextel phones or porn sites back then?? Plz pay attention when you watch a movie you guys.

The only reason I'm commenting on this title is because it's one of the worst things I've seen in a while. A buddy of ours showed it to me at church and me and my other friend couldn't stop making fun of it. The acting is atrocious. I kept telling myself that someone cool or funny will pop up. But it never happens. Every actor is the same one dimensional boring thing. Special effects (if you can call them that)will make you laugh out loud, I promise. This went on for what felt like three hours. So stupid. I understand this movie was made with a low budget but come on. Make your actors act a little bit. And add in some dialogue that a human being might actually use. If you want decent Christian movies, check out the Left Behind series. This movie is pure garbage.

I would like to start out by saying that I love first LB movie. I own it, it's one of my favs. I saw the new one and of course it's not the original, nothing is. But it was cool to see Feldman reprise his role and even make it better by making Edgar older and bitter. I love Feldman no matter what. But there are things that people seemed to miss about this one. Like the main character's last name being Emerson. That was Haim's last name in the original but for some reason they never touch on that in the movie. I wish they explained that. The other thing that people seem to forget is that LB is a deep movie. Seeing the way the vampires live, and seeing things from their perspective. You see them as characters instead of just monsters. This one did a good job of that. The action was OK, the gore and blood were great with the new technology but the way some of the vamps died was cheesy. A holy water balloon? I expected some more hardcore vampire kills than that. Overall, cool little flick, worth watching it, and definitely keep watching after the credits. I won't spoil it, but I loved what I saw.

This isn't a movie that got a whole lot of hype but it's actually one of the best animated films I've seen, and also a good movie overall, animated or not. The characters were original, and believe it or not, the acting (or voices) was good. It was very clever, and the jokes were quick and almost non stop. You do not have to be kid at all to enjoy this one. Kevin James and Nick Cannon come through big playing the two police officers. They add comic relief to an already funny movie. Great original story, lots of laughs, great action, great characters, and a very visually pleasing movie. Go grab this one, trust me you won't regret it.

Let me start this off by saying that I love Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen. Big fan of their movies. But this one is highly overrated.

I expected to be rolling on the floor laughing the whole time and it really wasn't very funny. A couple scenes were trying to earn shock laughs but if you've ever seen a real porno, it's just kiddie stuff. It's only surprising if you're 10. The movie moved slow and there weren't many laughs. Basically just a romantic comedy with a twist to it that makes you wonder what it could be about.

I think Seth Rogen was just in over his head with this one, but not every movie can be Superbad you know? Rent it, see how you like, but don't believe the hype.

HORRIBLE!! If you are a fan of the Halloween series and are going through watching them all (like I was) skip this one. Where do they get off calling a movie Halloween and not featuring the star of the movie. Can you picture the writers around a table coming up with this???

"Yeah so the first 2 films have done great. Let's come up with something different to keep them guessing." "Hey, why don't we just get rid of the Michael Myers guy?" "Yeah, it's old."

How dumb can it be? The movie is about masks that kill kids on Halloween. The main characters are complete nobodies with no emotion and we don't care about them at all. They go to the mask factory to stop them from being made. And of course they eventually succeed. Sorry for the spoiler but I do not want anyone to go through what I went through. Waiting and waiting for Michael Myers to show up. TERRIBLE movie. Please, do not ignore this warning. There is a reason why all the movies after it were about Michael Myers. DUH!!!!!

I turned this movie on randomly one night flicking through the channels and turned out really liking it. I liked the performances from Peebles and Brolin.

The twists in the plot were good too, especially the main twist that I must say caught me off guard. I liked this movie, but one thing almost made me want to turn it off: the lead actress. Where did they find her??? Possibly one of the worst I've ever seen. No emotion, and her voice sounded like it was dubbed or something. And with that said, there's no way I believed her as a tough FBI agent.

Other than her, this is a good movie. Not very well known but definitely worth checking out.

OK, so I always like to read the negative comments because it makes you think more about the movie. But it seemed like people were taking positive things about the movie and saying that's what made it bad.

To me, it was amazing how the terminator and John Connor created a bond. It added a buddy action feel to it and you also felt for them when he was destroyed at the end. How could this make it bad? There was a plot hole here and there maybe, but time travel is pretty tricky. I always asked myself how John Connor is suddenly a teenager only six years after his mother became pregnant with him. And robots having Austrian accents? Funniest thing ever, but who else could ever play that part??? The special effects were superior to anything else at the time. People make comments about the first one but c'mon, did you see the same clay-animated robot as I did at the end?? Not to say I didn't like the first one but no movie is perfect. Robert Patrick also made a cool evil villain.

So I guess what I'm saying is that I'm a huge fan of T2, just like anybody else who grew up in the nineties. I mean, I was raised on it, and still like it today. Just wanted to address some of the things I read on here. Still one of my favs.

Seth Rogen and friends have made some good movies but I think they really outdid themselves with this one. I don't see them ever making a movie this funny and this enjoyable again. Maybe close, but not like this one. I feel like it really speaks for our generation way better than movies of the 90s did. The characters are lovable and we can easily relate to them. They actually seem like kids instead of adults playing kids. We see them learn about themselves and grow on screen. They also all have their own humor. I think Jonah Hill is very genuine in this movie and I can't get enough of him. Michael Cera is just so awkward you can't help but both laugh and cringe as you watch him, it's great. There are some other hilarious performances. Actually, just about everyone who we see on the screen adds to the essence of this movie. One of the best teen movies/comedies ever. I suggest that everyone give it a chance and enjoy it as much as me and my friends do.

This is a movie I have loved since I was a kid when it was still pretty new. I must have watched it a million times. I watched it again recently and of course noticed the special effects were that of the 80's but it doesn't matter. This is one of the better fantasy movies there is. Original ideas, and very interesting and vivid landscapes and characters. I would love to see it remade with today's technology, but I'm afraid that someone would mess it up somehow. This movie is magical and I consider it a classic. Of course, I was raised watching it. It's not very well-known but I recommend it for anyone, as long as you have an open mind. Hopefully you enjoy it like I always have.
