A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I catch this show on TV every other week or so, I have been into car's and bikes since I was a kid, so this show fit's my taste of viewing to a T! Most episodes are great, with only the odd episode being forgetful, but by far my favourite episode is the one with the Little People building a mini truck, great bunch of characters, specially the little rocker dude.I give the show an 8 out of 10, but could have had a higher rating but Jesse is just a dork!And here is some more text so my review will be added to the great IMDbAnd here is some more text so my review will be added to the great IMDbAnd here is some more text so my review will be added to the great IMDb

I stumbled across this show about a week or so ago. I am really interested in watching shows where people use their minds and hands to create really cool things. I like all sorts of shows like this because I am a creative person and watching other people create, motivates me. I was someone who used to watch "American Choppers" because it was so cool to see Paulie make these "masterpiece" fabricated bikes. Then I saw "Monster Garage" on a day where they were running a marathon. This show rocks and Jesse James brings an explosive edge to it. He just has a cool presence. You watch to see what he will do or say, like you watched Paul Sr. on "American Choppers". I personally like "Monster Garage" better than "American Choppers" because it brings creativity to a higher level. You can also see different workers each time. This is a very cool show with allot of creative minds coming together and making one vehicle into another creation.If you have a chance, check out this show that is broadcasted on the Discovery Channel.Enjoy!

This is a very fun and also a very informative show. It's fascinating to observe the building process, which is the bulk of the show and often the most dramatic as the build team is different every week and usually has a nutjob or total dimwit mixed in with the techies and wrench-heads.For new viewers who are waiting with bated breath for the DVDs or for classic episodes to re-air...SPOILERS lie ahead.My only disappointment is with the so-called challenges, which are obviously fixed and dramatized. The fact that Richard Petty beat Jessie James in the Mini Cooper/snowmobile race is more a show of respect for Mr. Petty than a testament to his snowmobile skills.To clarify: Petty would have won anyway.The only requirements for successfully meeting a Monster Garage challenge is that the modified vehicles appear stock (a rule almost always stretched nearly to the breaking point) and that they be functional both as vehicles and as whatever random device they've been modified to emulate. They don't necessarially have to perform the second function WELL, as in the sinking (but not sunk) New Beetle/airboat or the 5.0 Mustang/lawnmower that was clearly more show than mow.The silliness of the challenges never detracts from the fun of watching them being built, however, and even the most preposterous scenarios can be fun in themselves...as in the school bus/pontoon boat race, won by the Monster team by forfeit when the crew of the real pontoon boat abandoned ship to join the party on the Monster boat.But too often the footage of Jesse's performance will be sped up to make him appear to be leaving his opponent in the dust, which is really just insulting to the viewer. When the Monster machine is obviously no match for it's real-life purpose-built counterpart, I think it would be more fun to watch the vehicles be put through their paces in more task-based challenges. Or just downplay the importance of the challenge altogether. What would be more fun: watching the Monster Garage's Ford pickup-based tree-shaking nut harvester go head-to-head with a common tree-shaker? Or watching as the crew took their shaker out into the streets of Long Beach under cover of darkness, prowling for innocent parking meters and mailboxes to victimize?I suppose that might not be the wisest thing to record and broadcast on television...but you get my point: if they showed as much creativity in the presentation of the Monster vehicles as they do in designing and building them, this show would be truly unstoppable.

Red Green gone right, I mean that in a good way. We've all seen Red come up different ideas that make a certain amount of sense, but only to blow up in his face. Like when Red takes an old Pontiac, and makes a fire engine out of it, only have the thing burn up. Here, they take a Lincoln Town Car stretch limo and make a fire engine out of it, and IT WORKS! NO KIDDING! (If you haven't seen it!)Here, a group of guys take cars, and trucks and make them into something else, and it's fully functional. Look what the did with one of Kyle Petty's race cars, that was really cool. (I won't tell you. You gotta see it for yourself!)You have to be impressed with the talent, and imagination these people have. As one reviewer put it, it is the best reality show on t.v., and I'm getting pretty sick of those!But for anybody who likes cars, or just loves to tinker with things, this show should really grab you!
