Wishmaster is not a great movie by far. Theres worse ways to spend a coupla hours I guess. It just felt poorly put togather to me for some reason. Nothing really........redeeming about it imo.

Wishmaster definitely blows. Wes Craven should have never put his name on this waste of film. It was to cheesy to muster up one scare.

Nice.

Keep going!!:D

[newb]

I kinda........liked it.





ok....it did seem somewhat cheesy and I can't believe they made .....what ....two sequels....but overall...not a terrible movie.


some nice cameos and Andrew Divoff made a somewhat engaging villian.



I guess I'm just not good at the bashing

What did everyone think of "Jaws: The Revenge"?

[Staplez]

I saw it when I was still a wee tike and loved it. Looking back now I dont know what the hell I was thinking. It was horrible, not the good horrible, the bad horrible.

They were grasping at straws with the plot and the acting sucked.

I agree. Some bad movies are fun to watch, but this one is downright painful. I don't expect every movie I watch to be scientifically accurate. This one didn't even try. I know that white sharks are not as agressive as they are in "Jaws", but "The Revenge" pushed it over the limit. Sharks, especially bulky great whites, cannot swim from Long Island to Hawaii in just 3 days. Please. ALL fish, including sharks, obviously lack the intelligence to come up with the ability to enact the "family vendetta", seen in this movie. Few fish are able to make sounds underwater, and white sharks are certainly not one of those few (yeah, the fish is roaring in fury at the end of the movie). Whites are known to hop out of the water, but not so high as to grab someone from the mast of a boat. On that note, the guy who got grabbed off the mast seemed to survive...ummm how?

The shark effects look like shit. Somehow, this film turned back time so that fake sharks made in the 70's manage to look better than those made in the late 80's. There is some nice underwater footage, but this is not enough to redeem this film. I can get plenty of that from the Discovery channel. Most of the special effects look like the producer bought a plastic shark from Wal*Mart and filmed the shark sequences of the film in his kid's swimming pool. They are that bad.

Even if you ignore the obvious violations to common sense and bad effects in this film, it is still an obvious, boring attempt cash in on the then aging Jaws franchise. What really pisses me off is that franchises like Jaws, which began as an excellent book turned groundbreaking film, end only when the worst sequel fails to make any money. And sometimes, franchises don't even end after that. I bet off the top of your head, you can name 3.

CUBE is a pile of shit that has a uncanny resemblance to George W. Bush and Dick Cheaney ass fucking each other.
let me dissect All of the characters are cliches (bad ass black guy, know it all guy that gets killed real quick(the french escape artist), dumb ass with glasses then has glasses broken who the fuck gets glass lenses? plastic fucking lenses asshole director) I started a thread about this some time ago. The story isn't bad but the movie is.

Jaws i like, Scream was good in the theater, Friday the 13th i like.

Jeepers Creepers Was shit too that guys skin is too small for the monster and how much would be lost in the pealing of the boy. Then if he wanted to hide the stiches like on clothing he would need more skin like a fat guys skinG John Goodmen fat.

How about ... CREEP didn't like it.

So no one else saw CREEP
