This was a great movie, a classic from the 80s! This film should be placed on the shelf next to films like The Lost Boys. (You can take that silly kids movie Twilight, and place it with the Disney movies.) Near Dark is appreciated by REAL horror and vampire movie lovers. This is a must own! (By the way, I have the copy with the original cover, not that wanna-be Twilight cover. That's an insult to the film.) Also, the lady that wrote the book Twilight, her plot is very similar to this. (I'm just sayin'.)
What's great about it: The movie!
What's not so great: The new cover looks like Twilight?!
I'll be honest, I'm a biker. This movie ticked me off! This movie is a blatant slap in the face to bikers. Not only that, it's not even funny. The movie is filled with great actors (except Tim Allen), but they all play stupid roles. This was a terrible movie! I'd give my copy away, but I don't know anyone who did like it! (Maybe I'll use it for target practice.) By the way, I can't stand Tim Allen!
What's great about it: Has a lot of good actors, (except Tim Allen.)
This movie should've been called The Scarecrow, not Messengers 2! Aside, from the same piece of land this doesn't in any way tie in with the first one. Oh, sorry, there were some crows. This was a poor attempt at a sequel. Skip it!
What's great about it: Good cinamatography and decent special effects, not a 'B' movie.
What's not so great: Doesn't make since or have anything to do with the first one.
This was a great movie, much better than I expected. The acting was very good, considering there were no big name stars in this film. The director does a good job of getting you in touch with each character. There's lots of action, great special effects and imagery. This was a very impressive film! I would have to put this somewhere between Sin City and The Dark Knight. Fantastic movie, highly recommended!
What's great about it: Very entertaining!
What's not so great: Shows a little more of Dr. Manhattan than necessary.
This is the best Batman movie by far! No offense to Jack Nicholson, but Heath Ledger's got you beat. He gave hie life for this role and will always be remembered for that. Christian Bale is the best Batman, and best actor! If you haven't seen it yet, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! Don't rent it, BUY IT!!! You'll want to see it over and over and over and over... And if you haven't seen Batman Begins, you're missing out!
Finally, someone got it right! This is the way Batman was supposed to be. Scratch the past versions of Batman, and everything you think you know. This is a great way to start it all over, the way it was intended! No more silly goofy Batman roles. This is the real Batman!!! Christian Bale should get best actor! Also, check out Dark Knight!
This was an OK movie. The fact that it's based on a true story and Kate Beckinsale really sell it. Other than Kate, this movie had a terrible cast! (That's why I gave the acting 2 stars, one for Kate, and one for everyone else.) I think this movie would've been better without some of these horrible actors; Matt Dillon, Angela Bassett, David Schwimmer, Alan Alda!? I mean come on! I didn't even know Alan Alda was still alive! Only people over 50 that watched M.A.S.H. know or care who Alan Alda is! And David Scwimmer, his career bombed after Friends. Oh wait, that's right, he never had a career! Like I said, this movie would've been great, had there been a different cast. Aside from that, and the weak ending they built you up for, I'd recommend it. But, wait for it to drop in price or just rent it. It's not worth watching a second time.
What's great about it: Based on a true story and Kate Beckinsale.
This was a great horror movie! I love Stephen King! Plus, I'm a huge fan of John Cusack and Samuel Jackson. I've seen the theatrical cut and the extended cut with alternate ending. I have to say, I liked the alternate ending much better. That's why I recommend this special edition, it has both versions, the endings are completely different. Also, as a huge Stephen King fan, I'm still waiting for someone to make the Dark Tower series into films, (not a mini series, but an actual 7 part movie experience.)
What's great about it: Liked the extended cut and alternate ending better than the theatrical cut.
