First off, this is a movie you might want to avoid if you have a weak stomach. I felt sick watching it and i've seen some sick movies over the years.

Some things that the movie delivers is quick scares, gore, some realistic effects of the snake bites (based on my little knowledge), the massive killings of the passengers, invasion of private parts, some of the movements of the snakes, and corn factor.

Some of the not-so-great parts are the effects of the snakes. It looks like sci-fi original movie effects at times.

The action you really see is different ways the snakes attack the passengers, which at some points are bizarre attacks in private areas which will make you cringe.

Some people might be disappointed about the small use of sam jackson's character. But he does deliver the great line at the end of the movie which makes his whole whole participation in the movie worth the money.

I expected nothing but corny fights and screams but the movie managed to convince that these actors are actually being attacked by snakes.

The movie delivers cliché characters which makes the movie more fun because the audience can try to guess which character will die and how. For example: A rude, rich businessman. Will he die a horrible death? Maybe.

The movie delivers over the top scares and gore. The effects have a good idea of how snakes move but some of the effects look a bit cheap.

If you can handle the exorcist then you might be able to handle this movie. That's the only way I can prepare you for this.

Overall, it was a disturbing and corny picture which it has been promising for the last six months, but it's still "snakes on a plane".

It is pathetic that I watched the whole movie knowing that it was going to be bad. I didn't know if it was going to be this bad. I was trapped at a friend's apartment so I had to watch. It was either watch the movie or walk three miles home in the cold. Now I wish I would have walked home. Not even the nudity made up for this excuse for a film.

Band Camp defies the definition of "milking" the franchise. There is not much more milking you can do now. Hopefully this franchise doesn't turn into a series.

The main character is annoying as hell which is not entirely his fault since he's trying to act like big brother stifler. It's a stupid concept to have a younger brother act almost exactly the same as the older brother. I guess it's easier to find an actor to look like older stifler who can react the same way instead of taking the time to indulge on the new character's personality.

The acting was terrible. There was no chemistry between anybody. The nemesis was a joke. Every time he showed up on screen I thought I was watching a scene from a soft core gay porn movie (not that I've ever watched one).

The movie tries to shock the audience with ridiculous situations or nudity to veil the crappiness of the plot and the dialogue.

I'll make sure next time that I drive to people's houses so I can drive back home when the group wants to watch movies like this.

This was a solid remake of the 1933 original. I was never a big fan of Kong but I'm a big fan of Jackson. This movie looked great. Most of the special effects looked real, especially Kong. The fight scenes were huge and entertaining.

The thing I liked the most about this movie is how Jackson created Kong as the star of the movie by giving him a variety of emotions and actions to convince the audience that this creature could exist and in this way. Jackson has a talent to create creatures that play a believable role in his movies. Kong was likable and I actually started to care about what would happen to him. Gollum showed a realistic flawed character who we cared about from when he appeared in The Two Towers.

Since Kong and Gollum both played by Andy Serkis you could give him a lot of the credit for the convincing performances of these characters. Gollum was the scene stealer in The Two Towers. Most of the CG characters in other movies really don't play an important drama character to their story, but Andy Serkis and Peter Jackson have really showed off how it's done.

That is one of Jackson's strengths: He can make you believe that these characters could or have existed like he showed in the Lord of the Rings.

His production team have created the best looking costumes and sets for Kong and Rings. The Special Effects team is probably the best in the business. They really know how to create believable effects.

The sets looked great and there were some good performances.

I didn't like the 3-hour length of the movie or some of the lines that were spoken. This is not a movie that I would want to sit in a theater to watch again but I enjoyed it. It made me wish that I had not seen the original since the movie's plot was very similar which meant no real surprise from beginning to end.

This is definitely a great movie to see in theaters for its large scale battles.

This was a funny film. Steve Carrell definitely has a future as an offbeat lead in future movies. Since Jim Carrey's comedy is getting stale, Steve Carrell is there to replace him as the new comedy movie star. This is pathetic but so are most of the current movies that have come out in the last couple of years.

This comedy works as a random sort of comedy with some touchy parts and awkward moments. This is a movie you definitely don't want to watch with your older kids or with your parents because of a lot of the sex talk and nudity in the film (unless this is your way of providing an explanation of the birds and the bees speech). The movie could have been a lot shorter.

This is definitely a good film to watch with friends who you talk to about sick sex stories that you've heard or done.

This is definitely the best movie out of the series. This installment has more emotions and a good story. I'm not sure that the future movies can live up to this installment.

Another great detail about the movies is the casting. The cast are mostly British or European. I look at the cast and I see Ralph Fiennes, Brendan Gleeson, Alan Rickman, and Gary Oldman for starters. I'm not trying to put down American actors because there are some great ones.

The performances were good, and the direction was well done. I found myself bored with the first two movies and partially with the third one but this one kept my attention throughout the whole screening.

The only problem I can see is that it could of been a bit more scary, but that's just me.

Personally, unless you are over 16, or unless you are a huge Damon or Ledger fan, then this movie is not for you.

Some of you might be saying 'Well, I'm a Terry Gilliam fan'. So am I, and I was disappointed. This movie is only mildly entertaining. Think of it as the bad version of Sleepy Hollow.

The story starts out with an introduction of the two main characters as children in the late 18th century, which was introduced very briefly, and then we see them as adults 15 years later in 1812 in French occupied Germany. The two brothers (Damon & Ledger) start off by visiting a town which are in need of some ghost busting. The town supposedly has a witch and the famous brothers Grimm are their only hope for destroying her. It turns out that this witch is part of the scheme set up by the Grimm brothers and a couple of their scam partners so that they can make some kind of living.

Jacob (Ledger) is more of a nerdy/naive character that is obsessed with fantasy and mythological explanations. Wil (Damon) is more of a scam artist that is in it for the money and is quite the ladies man. Wil is the leader of the group while Jacob only cares about the stories so that he can write the info in his book.

They are eventually caught by a French soldier played by Stormare(Fargo) and brought the the French authorities to explain their many scams. The French soldiers are in need of men to go into the forest and retrieve children that have been missing.

This is when the story falters and becomes increasingly boring. The Grimm stories that we know today are thrown into a blender and poured into this poorly written plot. Krueger tries too hard to try to fit in a lot of the Grimm stories into this thin story. The characters spend most of their time fumbling around the woods and back into town, then back into the woods while a few trees move around, and a wolf-man (which looks like its from the poor cgi from Van Helsing) lurks its prey. We are introduced to a semi-dead queen's background (Belluci) that wants everlasting life by using a spell (Heard of this plot before?) The Grimm brothers are led by a woman that knows the woods very well and they try to figure out where the children what the old queen has to do with these children.

Damon and Ledger do a descent job of creating interesting characters but it's not enough to get past the poor writing. They play well of each other bu that's it.

Gilliam is one of my favorite directors and I was hoping he would be able to lead an interesting big-budget movie unlike a lot of other directors who are able to get $150 million budget who have no vision. Gilliam and the actors try to create interesting characters from the story but they fall short. The sets look good and so do the costumes.

If you're a Terry Gilliam fan then you will be disappointed. I believe that young teenagers will like this movie but there is a few very violent scenes.

This is one of those movies that if you're 16 or older you will be entertained slightly by some of the character's odd behaviors.

Hopefully next summer will be better.

Blade was one of the better comic book movies ever made. Blade II was fun to see gruesome images and some OK fights. Blade III just flat out failed miserably. It wasn't even entertaining. There was nothing scary about the movie. The main bad guy couldn't act. Van Wilder was magically placed in this movie with some muscles to give a joke every time he opened his mouth.

I got a sense that kristopherson and Snipes really wanted to be rid of this mess of a franchise. I would think there would be this big finale, but i was wrong. I guess a big finale wasn't on their minds. The fights were lame and the story was a mess.

It seems like Blade is in a different movie that went straight to video. Jessica Biel's character was pointless and poorly done (producers trying to get the males since there is a lack of good action scenes). And a bow and arrow? give me a break. Let's hope that this is the last installment.

I had big expectations for this film. I liked 'Gladiator' and most of Ridley Scott's movies, but I couldn't have been more disappointed.

The stories of the crusades are so interesting. There were interesting characters and horrific events that took place. This period of history was so interesting because all of these battles that took place were religious battles (or greed). Ridley Scott rarely uses religion as a main motivator for the purpose of the story and instead uses greed and humanity as a main motivator to most of the situations.

I was confused the entire time that i was watching the movie. I was not sure what was happening and where and the motivation behind most of the actions of the story.

Orlando Bloom was the wrong choice for the film, and i don't care how much meat he puts on himself. It's hard for me to believe that he be a leading hero that is able to lead an army or defend a city (especially when he started out as a blacksmith in the story and now he is a great swordsman that is able to lead a large group of people into battle?).

Edward Norton (as the king) was the only redeeming character in the film (granted that he hides behind the mask). The rest of the characters seem like leftovers from 'Troy'.

Some of the battle scenes are entertaining to watch but when i don't care for the characters or if i can't follow what is going on, then these scenes lose its momentum. I thought this movie would be better than 'Troy' but i was wrong. With all of Troy's flaws at least it was entertaining with a few interesting characters.

This movie does not really appeal to anybody. There is not enough action to become entertaining and the drama is confusing to understand. There were mostly guys in the theater and after the movie ended them seemed upset about sitting through this 2 hour snorefest.

The lesson here is that don't make a movie about the crusades if you're going to try to fit every aspect of it into one 2 hour film. It just becomes a huge mess.

This movie wasn't good but I was able to sit through it. The jokes are random at times but most of the time they are mostly childish. Most of the random jokes came for Steve Carell with his 'I like lamps' phrases. Steve Carells' character even outshines Farrell whose character becomes annoying real fast (like most of the 'Frat pack' characters). The characters can be funny for five minutes. This movie seems more like a SNL skit which expands for 2 hours (which a lot of other critics have said). I think the only reason i saw this movie was so I could see what steve carroll's character would do next (hold a grenade and start screaming while everybody else is fighting).

This movie is not quite a guilty pleasure but it's a descent movie to watch when there is nothing better to do, or if you and your friends have a few drinks and you want to find something to laugh at when all the bars and clubs are closed.

I didn't expect much from this movie but I was surprised how interested I was in the plot. The reason I didn't want to see this movie was because of Will Smith the 'King of Box Office'. He deserves that name because anybody that stars in a movie such as 'Wild Wild West'(ugh!) and it still helps it make more than 100 million dollars deserves some recognition. He wasn't that bad in this movie. I would have rather have a different lead actor and a darker look to the movie (without the slow motion sequences) but that would mean less box office. I'm surprised that this movie is not darker figuring that the director made such movies as 'the crow' and 'dark city' but it was still darker than i expected.

The story was interesting and the robots looked good. The movie kept me guessing of what was going on which kept me interested in the story. The visuals were great to look at and the freeway chase scene was interesting.

This is a good guilty pleasure movie that will entertain you. This is also a good movie for people that enjoy sci-fi action movies that keep you guessing. This movie kind of reminds me of 'Minority Report' which i liked. This is a definitely rentable.

This is one of the better if the not the funniest of the 'frat pack' movies. I love 'animal house', and this movie basically pays tribute to it. It's probably the closest thing to a sequel to 'animal house that we're ever going to get.

It's definitely a great movie to watch with your college friends even if you hate fraternities. The movie starts out funny but it loses steam. Most of the characters are funny, and Will Farrell is probably the funniest of the cast. Cuthbert is smoking hot with her cameo which is alright by me.

The director has some funny jokes but it's not enough to reach a full potential (like 'road trip'). If he took more time with the jokes and the plot then this movie could of been a classic 'frat pack' movie.

This is definitely a guilty pleasure with some laugh out loud jokes and funny situations. The movie loses steam when the plot balances itself between being serious and being funny.

There was the 'Rat Pack', the 'brat pack'. Now there is the 'Frat pack'(made it up on the spot). The 'Frat Pack' consist of Ben Stiller, Will Farrell, Luke Wilson, Owen Wilson, Vince Vaugn, and some of their friends. These actors have their hold on Hollywood and they basically can do most comedy movies they want because they have can make a good amount of money doing these movies. Other Frat Pack movies include 'Anchor Man', 'Starsky and Hutch', and Old School'. I'm not saying these movies are terrible or i don't like the actors. It annoys me seeing the same actors playing the same comedic parts and the studio expects that just their presence should make us laugh.

I'm not trying to insult fraternities. I call them the frat pack because they appeal more to those guys.

I always enjoy a good comedy, but if the next 10 years is going to be comedy movies like this then i might just watch reruns of 'The Simpsons' or 'Family Guy' for comedy.

The game of dodgeball is humorous but it doesn't mean you should make a movie out of it. If anything, you should only use this story within an episode of a t.v. show (ex: South Park) instead of dragging two hours of this nonsense.

We are supposed to laugh whenever we see Ben Stiller while he plays one of his 'crazy' characters. He looks funny but his character gets real annoying real fast. I liked Stiller at one point but after 'Zoolander' and this movie, I'm starting to worry about his future (granted he's making more money now compared to when he was funny). We're also supposed to like Vince Vaugn but he plays the same 'takes no gruff' character. The pirate character was the most annoying of the cast. 'HA, HA, a man dressed up as a pirate in a gym. Excuse me while I change my pants'.

This story plays out the same comedic formula as most mindless comedies. I guess when you do a movie about dodgeball then you can't really do too much with it.

A lot of people apparently have seen this movie and liked it. So if you like pointless comedy that has no intelligence behind it then you will enjoy this movie. If you like a plot and some intelligence in a comedy movie then stay away from this one.

I'll probably skip the possible sequel 'Kickball', but from how much money they made from this one, I'm sure they're planning the sequel right now.

This is probably my favorite movie of all time (toss up with The Godfather). I know that these movie get a lot of hype but they deserve it.

To start off, I was a huge star wars fan. I saw the Hobbit when I was in 4th grade and I didn't like it. My friends offered to let me read the Lord of the Rings books when I was in middle school but I declined. 2001 came along and i saw some trailers for the movie and it looked interesting. I was blown away. It offered everything: fantasy, action, adventure, horror, romance, good acting, great looking designs on everything. I never knew I liked fantasy until I saw this movie. I was hooked for life.

Everything was great about this movie. I'm not sure if I can point out anything bad. The three hours seemed like 2 and I didn't want it to stop when 'Fellowship' ended.

One of the big reasons I liked this movie is that they used great actors over 'movie stars' (there is liv tyler but she is hot). There are a few movies that can balance great special effects and great acting in one movie.

Peter Jackson should of received best director for this movie (sorry Ron), but that's Hollywood politics. (Note: Coppolla didn't get best director for Godfather which is a bigger crime).

I started reading the books after watching Two Towers (I couldn't wait another 12 months). The book 'Lord of the Rings' is a brilliant piece of work itself. There is so much imagination in that book. A lot of die hard book fans hate the movies but I wish they would admire the brilliant filmaking in this movie. This movie would be very boring if it came from directly off the book.

I hope one day that more fantasy movies will look like this movie.

I remember going to see the 1989 batman movie when I was 6 in the theater. I never saw a commercial for it. The only thing i knew about batman was there was a live t.v. version that i enjoyed watching. That's it. i didn't know 'dark knight', killing of parents, Jack Nicholson, nada. I stood in line while the man in front of me tried to convince my mom not to take me and my sister to see this movie. We saw it and I was blown away.

To answer any questions: this movie does not top the original, granted it is a very good film. It might be more of a personal reason than a quality point of view.

I can't believe the all-star cast they managed to fit in. Cillian Murphy did a great job as Scarecrow while Christian Bale was a great choice as batman (i could have done with him yelling as batman). I wish there was more emphasis on the enemies. I like the explanations of how every piece of equipment is used and why but there needs to be more of a mystery to batman. I liked how they explained why he is batman (the spiritual and emotional reasons). The psychology of the purpose of batman impressed me the most in this movie. It gives batman more of a human quality to him.

Some of the lines i could of done without: "I got to get me one of those" which made me cringe because Gary Oldman is one of my favorite actors.

The look of the film is great. I enjoyed the realism of the movie but comic book movies need that touch of fantasy to make the film more entertaining. I guess its better than having an addition to batman 4.

There is room for improvement for the next installment. Spider-man 2 is a good example.

Hopefully the same all-star cast and director will be on board for the possible sequel.

This movie is on my top 5 list of all time. This is one of the few movies that I can sit there and get more enjoyment when i see it over and over again (which is rare in my case).

I didn't want to see this movie after i saw bubble boy. I was surprised by the performances. Even Patrick Swayze and Drew Barrymore did a great job. Every movie I've seen them in is usually Hollywood garbage (Charlie's Angels, Black Dog, etc.). Granted, they probably didn't get paid that much doing this movie.

This movie is great because you can come to your own conclusions about the story. After the movie you can talk to your friends about what you believed just happened and what was hard to understand about the movie. You don't get these conversations after seeing 'Van Helsing' ("I wonder why this movie was ever made").

A lot of people will not like this movie because it requires you to think, which is fine by me. This movie has a huge cult following as it is and doesn't need everybody to enjoy it.

The look of the film is amazing. The film represents the weird emotions of high school and youth, mixed with science fiction. You're on the edge of your seat to see what will happen at the end of the film. You get all the clues of why events are happening and you still don't understand at the end of the film, but you take these theories for the next time you watch the film.

I hope more movies like this come out with a similar look and imagination. There's only so much pointless Hollywood action movies i can take (just seeing the endless commercials on TV is enough).

I highly recommend this movie to people with an open mind who are not afraid to think for themselves.

This is one of those movies that people absolutely hate or absolutely love. I am one of those people that really enjoys this movie, but i understand how people could hate this movie.

This movie is most likely going to appeal to an audience that like comedy with random jokes and characters. It will also appeal to people that have been or live in a small town that is behind by 15 years in fashion (ex: Wisconsin), granted thats not so bad compare with the fashion sense we have in Atlanta right now.

The characters are laughable and the situations in the story are bizarre, but at least this comedy is different from the well known Hollywood comedy formulas.

I would only recommend this movie for people that are comedically open minded, not for people that enjoy 'Barbershop' or 'Bringing Down the House'.

First off, this was a solid movie. I'm a fan of Spielberg, but a few of his current movies are below par. I did enjoy Minority Report which was really entertaining (ending could of been better). I really didn't want to see it because of Tom Cruise's behavior but whenever Spielberg is directing you will most likely be entertained.

There are a lot of questions that might go through your mind which I'm sure every critic is talking about right now. I agree of what my friends say: "You can use your imagination to intepret these answers for yourself". I guess that's OK but some of the questionable plot holes become annoying (especially for sci-fi fans and people that want explanations for everything).

The characters were likable. The acting was good. The special effects were very entertaining. Spielberg did a great job portraying the human emotion of this event.

I wish the ID4 team could of teamed with with Spilberg's team (with Spielberg directing) and could of made a great sci-fi alien takeover movie with a lot of believable emotion (which ID4 lacked).

This is a good movie to see in theatres with all the special effects. This is a definite guilty pleasure (7 stars).

I'm not a fan of the Fantastic Four going into this movie. I never really like the characters. I'm more of a Spider-man/Batman fan. I went into this movie with a 2 star expectation (The same grade I gave to the 1993 version). I was surprised. I was able to sit through the movie and I was somewhat entertained.

My favorite aspect of this movie was Chiklis (The Thing) was entertaining to watch, especially compared to the other cast. Alba could have done a better job acting.

The main problem I have with this movie is with Doom. We have to sit through this movie and see his progression into evil, and then we experience the disappointing villain and ending which is essential in every comic book movie.

I'm sure the pre-teens will love this movie. There is some funny moments and there is some annoying moments with Johnny Storm (unless you're 8 years old).

If you're a comic-book fan then this is a rental that will keep you entertained. It's not quite a guilty pleasure (7 stars) but I was able to sit through this one without having to check my watch every five minutes.

I could not even finish this movie. I watched it on t.v. and I could not believe somebody thought that this piece of junk could make money. The acting was bad, the plot was predictable, and the characters were stupid. If you are over 10 years old do not see this movie. I wont bore you with the plot outlines cause there isn't one. I think the film makers were improvising the entire shoot. The only way I can recommend this movie is if one of your friends lost a bet, then you should make him watch this movie. I can defend some dumb movies of being entertaining but this movie is just flat out annoying. If you want to waste 90 minutes, just play Nintendo instead. I feel bad for anybody that paid money to see this.
