The Dukes of Hazzard (2005)
The differences in opinion are understood, but not to the degree to rate this movie higher than a 5.
I honestly thought that this movie was awful. The only thing that may have swayed my opinion in the least was Daisy. I Think that is why the ratings of people in the younger age group rated it higher than the older groups.
This in my opinion was not a movie that I would want my kids to see. I would not be hurt if they did see it, but it is not by any means a "family" movie. Their was no reason for this movie to be made other than to stuff the budget and the pocketbooks of the film industry. It appears to be a low budget movie, with actors that are known to have lame parts, or have not been in better movies.
For the people who enjoyed the stupidity of the jacka@@ movie might enjoy the mentality of this movie. I have to say that you could tell that Johnny Knoxville appeared to do his own stunts though.
Anyone wanting to see this movie because they loved or even liked the television series will hate this movie. It is not at all like the series. This movie portrays Bo and Luke as a couple of idiots that have no clue what is really going on in life. Bo is a "womanizer" and Luke is infatuated with his car. I enjoyed seeing Willie Nelson as Uncle Jessie, but as you know Willie is not renowned for his acting.
I wanted my money back after seeing this movie, and would even have been upset to have spent the money to rent it. I think anyone would only be pleased about getting it when they can find it as a bargain rental for 1 dollar.
Fantastic Four (2005)
Not what I expected
The movie had great special effects, and some very talented actors, but the plot was lacking. Whith characters with this many powers, they took too long for them to figure out that they had them, and then acted like they did not know how to use them in the least. There were so many things that they could have done to make this a great film, but they just did not do it. I am not sure if they just tried too hard to show the history, or to give some background for the plot. I was just let down.
The Villain was not anywhere near as strong as he was in the comic books. (For those who care about the comic books)He was tough, but no where near the magnitude of what his strengths could have been.
If I had the choice of waiting for the video, or paying 7 bucks to see it again, I know that I would wait. The hype was better than the movie was.
Signs (2002)
I did not know how to take the movie
I somewhat enjoyed the movie, and the little actress that played his daughter was excelent. I just felt that the movie left me hanging as to what happened.
I also felt that the aliens were weaker than someone with their knowledge should have been. Why were these creatures even on the ground instead of just "sucking people up"?
