You''re funny cause you''re different....

Thanks for the late warning there Fel. My fiance just had to go see it, so I like a dumb smuck I took her. WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP!!! That movie bit so hard. I actually considered drowning myself with the popcorn-butter machine. At least the stomach ache would have been a bonus.

Now a stupid man-animal for having seen it,

What did you expect from our buddy L. Ron and his scientologist mookies? Badly formatted propagana! Wouldn''t be suprised if it had subliminal messaging, niether.

-Too scared to put username, fear the scientologists.

LOL! I laugh because it is ALL TRUE! Normally I''d think you''re weird to write such a long post just about a bad movie, but after watching Battlefield Earth, I too felt like going out and warning the world. In fact we couldn''t help but dedicate a few minutes of our lives to spread the word around the lobby that Battlefield Earth will kill brain cells. By a longshot, the worst movie I''ve ever seen (mostly because I don''t watch that many movies). My friends and I were going to go see Gladiator, but it was sold out, so some of us saw Battlefield Earth, while my friend and his girlfriend watched Center Stage. Geez, we should have just left then and there because Battlefield Earth sucked, of course, and Center Stage was, according to my friend, really gay (he spent the time studying the ceiling fan). Strangely, his girlfriend liked it...

There were SO many things wrong with this movie, Battlefield Earth... first, the hero reminded me of Bill from Bill and Ted''s Excellent Adventure, which is not to say that I don''t like Bill and Ted, but I kept expecting his next line to be, "...and I am Bill S. Preston, Esquire! and We are the WILD STALLIONS!" And does it bother anyone else that the only attack the evil alien race does is grab humans by the necks and pick them up off the ground? Also, why don''t I know any of the character''s names? (except Greener, and what kind of STUPID name is that?) Possibly the dumbest part of the movie is when Travolta lets Greener use the learning machine. WHY DO THIS? There is no reason at all to do this, other than to facilitate hostile takeover by cavemen. It seems like they just plugged this into the script because the writers figured out after getting halfway through it that the hero wouldn''t be able to defeat the bad guys with rocks and sticks. The whole movie was like that... anyway, do NOT see battlefield earth.

Yeah luckly i talked my girlfriend out of going to that and got her to go to Gladiator instead...by far the best movie i have gone to and watched in a LONG time...i NEVER go back to watch a movie twice at the theater(Its damn expensive these days!) but i am definitaly thinkin about it

OME

Hey nes8bit,
I wasn''t trying to make violent movies sound bad.
A lot of my favorite movies are very violent (The Crow, Braveheart, Platoon, Saving Private Ryan, Evil Dead, Conan the Barbarian to name a few.)

The reason I stated it was awfully damned violent was two fold. One as a warning to some intended viewers, (don''t bring young kids or you''re date if she''s sensitive.)

Second, it was kind of my take on the fact that some very violent movies don''t do as well at the box office, even though they should. Imagine if Star Wars showed tons of blood & guts. It could never have achieved the mass appeal that it did.(exp. in some countries.)
But a movie like Gladiator needs the extreme gore to drive home the violence involved from the era.

BTW, I''m counting down the days for Star Wars part II, the next Indiana Jones adventure, and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Finally Hollywood is cranking out some more good high adventure movies! No more cheeseball crap like Battlefield Earth.

"Normally I''d think you''re weird to write such a long post..." --- you can talk mister ChaoYun, that post was pretty big, too

Never heard of that film, but thanks for the warning anyhow, even though I didn''t bother to read it all.

i only gonna see that movies when it stop to be apresented here... well that way life is... well i gonna have more time to play soccer!!!

-go! go! go! power rangers!!!

I knew the movie was going to suck once I saw the previews and the Psychlos (or did they not actually call them that in the movie?) were (a) just big human-Klingon half-breeds; and (b) had clothespins on their noses... And after seeing what Hollywood did to the Heinlein classic "Starship Troopers", I was even more afraid...

It''s too bad, really. "Battlefield Earth" is actually really good...I remember reading it back in about 1980-81 when it first came out, and I''ve read it once or twice since then (yes, I''m old, go away). Admittedly, there are a few "hard science" foibles, but the story is great.

Don''t let the movie be the last word on this story. Read the book. It''s worth it.

I was gunna see it, felis, but now its riuned. Even if you say it sucks, everyone always has the opposite opinion of what i think. I like sci-fi, wheter it sucks or not.

Explosions: if it has these, its good.

Weapons & War: OH YEAH!

Blood & Gore: DEFINETELY!!!

Story has no effect on me
