Overrated and overhyped

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

A different way of telling a story

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

In the climactic fight scene, the escapee seems to be hurt and Sister Anne kneels down and holds him the the classic "Pieta" position. I am so surprised that Mike and the 'bots did not pick up on this (as they did for other religious references) and I don't see any other posters who noticed it either. This is such a sorry excuse for a movie! And,as others have said before me, maybe the saddest of all is the cardboard box camera. Also, the dinosaurs sometimes seems like giants and sometimes like small critters and this is not just the false perspective. It's part of the movie that their sizes seem to change. Still, with Mike and the 'bots, it's a fun way to waste a couple of hours!

'Suck' is not normally a word that features in my vocabulary as a pejorative. There are thousands of words that can be used to describe crappy, cheap, incoherent, stupid, lousy abysmally awful movies like this one, but for some reason I have forgotten them all after this onslaught of tackily made crud. There is no other way of putting it. It sucks. It sucks big time. It is sucky. Sucky sucky sucky. Ultra sucky.The whole movie looks like it was done in single takes - with whoever was free on Thursday nights - how else can you explain the inclusion of the line delivered by the cop who arrives at the scene of a crime."What do we've got?" What?"What do we've got?" There can have been no other take and nothing to cut away to. No other explanation. Inept and amateur, the movie takes place in sets that consisted mostly of empty cardboard boxes; either stacked up so people can fight with them or after they were flattened out, taped together and quickly painted grey to make the shoddiest church and cop station ever filmed.It lurches from set piece to set piece with no coherent plot. Characters appear and disappear from the story almost at random and there is next to no attempt at any characterisation, character development, or even any kind of acting beyond the Joey Tribbiani soap opera level. Actually, "set pieces" is a vast overstatement. There isn't a set piece in the whole movie - they are so all loose and flabby they'd make a half-set jelly look like a building brick.All of this was grist to the mill of MST3K and provided the basis for one of their funniest shows.

How can you not love a movie that starts out with the line, "...I would meet a man that would change my life forever. I would also meet a pack of dinosaur-like creatures in all shapes, forms, and sizes."?Dinosaurs explode in this movie. There is no way a movie containing exploding dinosaurs does not reign supreme over most movies out there.Sure, the acting is terrible. But it's also just right. You can tell the actors are honestly trying to enact their roles, although their abilities aren't expansive.This movie transcends bad. 'White Chicks' is a bad film. This film is infinitely worse. Yet, somehow, it manages to also be a great deal more entertaining. The cheesy special effects, the epic battles, I was never bored. Basically, if you can find a way to rent this or buy it at the dollar store, do so. It's totally worth it.

I have seen the worst of the worst of all movies in my time, i love the old fashioned 80s/90s low budget martial arts movies, and I've heard of more dodgy martial artist/actors ( i use the term actor loosely ). Now that i have got that straight i can now say in all honesty watching this film was physically painful and every second my eyes pleaded to be ripped out from their sockets and stuffed into my ears.Luckily like many i saw this on MST3K so occasionally it would break up the movie and help with a little bit of the pain i was experiencing through out my viewing.I have at least now suffered the fate of seeing the worst film ever made and now i know that any film i see from this point on will be an improvement on this sack of crap.
