Visual. Bloody. Okay. (VBO)
Final Verdict: There is an equal amount of good qualities in this movie as there are bad. If you really like zombie or vampire films though, there's a lot you'll enjoy about this one.
Spoiler(s): No nudity-- what a letdown.
Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 50%
Weird. Interesting. Real. (WIR)
Final Verdict: I thought this movie was gonna be two hours of some lumberjack fightin' bears and choppin' down trees...but alas, I was wrong. The story was interesting and the bears were awesome, but the grizzly man is really f***ing creepy. I would pass this one up.
Spoiler(s): The actual "grizzly man" is a little psychotic.
Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 93%
Visual. Intelligent. Philosophical. (VIP)
Final Verdict: You're either going to love this film for it's bold style and deep meaning or loathe it for it's long segments and slow pace. If you ask me however, I think it's pure genius and clearly ahead of it's time (especially the visuals). Please check this one out-- it's a vital piece of movie history.
Spoiler(s): There's a ten minute scene during the last thirty minutes of the film that's nothing more than an extended lazer light show. So in other words, people "trip" to this movie.
Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 96%
The Perfect Film. (TPF)
Final Verdict: If you look up the word "flawless" in the dictionary, you'll see a picture from this movie. It is the hallmark of all modern movie-making, and a prime example of how to combine action, adventure, comedy, and romance into one perfect film. It can, and should, be enjoyed by everyone.
Spoiler(s): A lot of nazis get killed in this movie, so if you're a nazi-- you my get offended.

Hilarious. Fun. Marshmallowy. (HFM)
Final Verdict: This movie isn’t just funny-- it’s classic funny. I was surprised at the amount of times I actually laughed out loud. This is Bill Murray at his finest.
Spoiler(s): Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.
Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 93%
Simple. Human. Moral. (SHM)
Final Verdict: While it’s message about war and conflict clearly stands the test of time, the rest of the movie falls short. It’s a great film, don’t get me wrong, but by today’s standards it’s very simple and formulaic.
Spoiler(s): The alien’s name is Klaatu and his robot’s name is Gort. Those will be the names of my first two children.
Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 93%
Ridiculous. Action. Homage. (RAH)
Final Verdict: At times it's a little over the top, but there's enough excitement and action throughout to keep any warm-blooded American entertained. Go see it if you have any balls.
Spoiler(s): There's a scene where John McClane is a ejected from a grounded, exploding airplane...what more can I say?
