| User ReviewStuart LGreat movie for all the wrong reasons. Why did he steal that truck? |
| User ReviewPrivate Uskeleton man is an enigma...a household name... |
| User ReviewDarwin UThis is the greatest movie in history! I can't believe why so many dislike this awesome film. I gave it a 10 on imdb! This is Sci-Fi's best original. |
| User ReviewIngvar Ottergren NA fantastic movie. A must see for all those looking for a good scary movie. The special effects were spectacular and the plot twists were great as well. |
| User ReviewLaura GOh man, this is the best first 10 minutes of a B horror movie ever. I mean, the first line is literally, "Professor, this is the last box from the Indian burial site." What more could you ask for? Oh wait, nm, [I]Killer Jellyfish[/I] is concurrently airing on Animal Planet. |
| User ReviewMatt MIt gets a three because it was so funny :-) |
| User ReviewBruce BWell a Good B Flix, Would be alright for Halloween watchers, maybe the opening movie, get things going. I would figure that after the first 10,000 rounds of bullets they might have figured that this guy is like Superman. Also typical stereo type movie as to how alot of people think our militray people act. get a grip movie makers. I picked it up in a pawn shop for $3.00, well worth that. |
| User ReviewGary SThe point ultimately... will you enjoy it? Probably not by yourself, but if you have a bag of grass to smoke and a decent group of friends, this may be the single most life-altering moment of your grindhouse fantasies. Props to director Johnny Martin for strategically finding the best possible method for the worst possible result in every single frame of this future cult hit. Michael Rooker owns the Razzie award on this, I don't care who actually won it that year. By the way Jeremy Wheeler, you did write Flixster's all-time best movie synopsis. |
| User ReviewBobby LCasper Van Dien is killed in this movie, about halfway through. My guess was that he woke up and realized how silly a movie he was in, and opted to leave. It's silly, the acting is ubercheesey, and horses can outrun missiles. With all that, the main baddie, with a skull face (that looked more convincing than Langella's as Skeletor) is pretty badass and there was barely any CG to be found, and the dialogue was epic and legendary in it's bad factor. |
| User ReviewChuck CCasper Van Dien strikes again! Since there's no synopsis I'll oblige! A Spec-Ops type military unit goes to a forest/jungle for some reason and is hunted down by a skeleton wearing a hood and riding a horse that goes from brown to black very often. For those who appreciate token stupid horror, this is a very good choice! I wasn't sure if movies were still made this incompetently in the 21st century but I'm glad to say that the spirit of Troll 2 is still alive and well! The only reason it doesn't get a perfect rating is because there's no unnecessary nudity and the acting is actually not terrible, both of which I'd expect from a film like this. Still there's plenty of great idiocy to be enjoyed here! A must buy for $3 at Wal-Mart! |
