Bruce Willis action film. The Hokey aliens and some bad acting put this movie in the shits for me. Kids might like it or some of ya'll. Give it a shout if you have seen it.
3.5/10
Have really hit the skids on some moive chooses here lately.

One of my favorite movies. First DVD I ever bought.

We green?

Supergreen.

Also a favorite. Campy/schlocky but with good music & special effects. And a girl that has a hard time keeping her clothes on.

I particularly like the "nice hat" bit followed by the nervous junky dance.

I love this movie. Your critique of the movie couldn't be farther off. You're starting to sound like those crappy critics that MSM papers and what-not hire. The movie was wonderful for what it was. A semi-hokey, futuristic, semi-nude romp through a futureistic world.

And Leelu is sooooo hot.
Zorg is a great bad-guy.
And Willis does..well...what Willis does.

I hate to overuse this word... but it was very stylistic.

Oh yeah, I even have a cat named Korben Dallas.

even I liked this one, and I'm generally not gung-ho for Bruce Willis.

Priest: "Uh, hello Mr. Willis"
Korben Dallas: "Dallas."
Priest: "Dallas."

Well, really it sounds like he said "Mr. Wallace," but my way is funnier.

Awesome movie. I used to watch it every time it was on TV.
I have the DVD, but only pop that in about once per year.

It's a movie that doesn't take itself too seriously. It could have ver easily been terrible, but the style and humor made it work.

Oh... and Leeloo wants me. Ba-da-boom!

My biggest hangup with the film is when she learns about war, so she gets depressed and gives up.

Yeah, the end's a bit mushy-lovey crap, but until then, it's excellent.

They end up doing it in the cloning chamber. Bravo.

The more I watch this film, the more I don't wanna see it again.

I liked it, but didnt love it.

Add me to the list of people who loved this film.

I heard if it had done better in the theaters, sequels would have been made. I'm thinking that they may want to revisit that idea considering its popularity has grown by leaps and bounds since it has left the theaters.

It could be the movie version of a comeback ala Family Guy.

Hell, the Evil Dead series was never a blockbuster and not only were there three of them, but they're working on more.

I'm glad everyone liked it. And everyone reading this will know so. But I would stick a pitch fork in my eye rather than watch it again.

Ramdom LiveJournal page that caught my eye.
When Malcolm rules the world, I hope he lets Milla be one of my wives.
