Wing Commander (1999)
Disappointing and disturbing
There are several things that disturb me about Wing Commander. First of all, the movie has very cheap, made-for- TV style filming, which makes you think you are watching this at home. Second, while the special effects are fairly decent, they look like they belong in a video game instead, thus removing a real cinematic experience. Third, all of the spaceships shoot torpedoes and MACHINE GUNS. It's the 24th century in this film, and they're shooting machine guns. C'mon, now. Fourth, the bad guys, the Kilrathi, are barely ever shown and when they are they look ridiculously silly. Fifth and last, none of the original cast from the WC video games are in the movie. I played the first game and personally, I like it much better than this low-budget, sorry excuse for a sci-fi flick.
Finish Line (1989)
A recycled message
This movie serves one purpose and one purpose only, and that is to teach people that steroids are bad for you. This has been tried so many times before, the whole message begins to lose its meaning. So the writers decided to make it more appealing by adding in a bus-load of profanity and an occasional sexual remark ("some guys would give their left nut to be where you are"). However, none of this helps. How many times do you have to tell us that steroids can kill you? Sure, there's still some idiots who see this and continue taking them, but to the rest of us it's just a recycled message.
Godzilla (1998)
Better than the originals
Everybody is saying this movie is total crap and that it's no match for the original G-movies.I've seen most of the original films and almost all of them stunk.Then I saw this brand new,computer-generated Godzilla waltzing around New York City creating mass destruction and I'm saying to myself "How could this possibly be worse than the originals?"Sure,this movie doesn't have the best acting,but what Godzilla movie ever did?Also,people say this movie's plot is stupid but near as I can recall the original films had even wackier plots.This movie has been totally underrated but I enjoyed it.
