A scathing review with a "C" grade, which makes no sense at all

My memory, from reading the comics in the 80's, was that he could rearrange matter into whatever he wanted, so he could make stuff out of thin air, Green Lantern-like. His Wikipedia article seems to confirm this, but I don't know if the TV show will use it.

True. The little bastard did leap onto my face at full speed, claws out, while I was lying in bed last night. One thing I'll never understand about cats: no matter how fat, slow, and old they get, they are capable of accelerating to "cat speed" at will, a speed entirely too fast for a beast with such short legs.

From seeing the commercials, it seemed like the boy was the main character, not the dinosaur. The little green guy just seems like set dressing in the ads, even though he is obviously the title character.

As with most super-hero team-ups, this one seems to suffer from the "power imbalance" problem.

Exactly. There is just no good reason for copyrights to extend as long as they now do. I am 100% in favor of an artist earning every penny they can form their own work. If you write a best-seller & die six months later, I firmly believe your spouse/kids/whatever should be able to be supported from the proceeds. A…

Yeah, I was about six years old when it came out, and of course obsessed with dinosaurs. I seem to remember it giving me bad dreams after I watched it.

Rocky V is so insultingly bad it is great. The best part about it is if you pay attention, you will notice that the entire film takes place over about 3 months. Early on, Rocky's son is starting a new school year & a bully beats him up & takes his jacket. Near the end, li'l Rocky gets his revenge (and his jacket back)…

I don't understand. How is this related to Star Wars?

Yes, I grew up in a family of all boys, & I am amazed my mother didn't just smother a couple of us in our sleep, just to have a little peace.

Hey, THEY WERE REAL TO ME! THEY WERE REAL TO ME!

So is this going to be "Italian Memento", in the spirit of "Italian Spiderman"?

You know, I'm gonna have to defend Billy on this one. Yes, his shtick is tired, but it really works well in that scene. He and Kane have terrific chemistry, and he reminds me of my wife's late grandfather in his old age, with the combination of old-man crankiness & infantile acting out. Yeah, this means that Miracle…

Untouchables was bending history; Inglorious Basterds was poking fun at the tendency of WWII action films (and others set in the recent past) to avoid excess interaction with famous historical figures. Action Hero Guy can go on some insane mission behind enemy lines in WWII, wipe out multiple military bases, stop ze…

Better a sequel than a remake, IMO. I don't have a problem with making another film in the Blade Runner "universe", per se; There is no reason such a movie can't be good, and it would generate new interest in a classic, which is always a good thing. If it stinks, that is unfortunate, but it's not like it damages the…

Wow. I hate to say it, but I was certain Walsh was dead. Glad to hear the old cuss is still working.

If this is a sequel I would hate to see Ford returning as Deckard. Deckard was a replicant. Replicants have short life spans. Deckard is dead. I mean, the entire frigging gol-danged point of the various director's cuts is that life is precious and we should enjoy it while we can. It's not a tragedy that he died young,…

Michael B Jordan was born in 1987. Rocky IV came out in 1985.

Yep. Dooku works much better as an honest but misguided warrior than as a stooge.

Almost as bad as the prequels
