Rate Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow

I wasn't expecting anything

Uhh, what were you expecting, then?

Honestly nothing; standard Sci Fi movie, I suppose. I only seen the commercials. I went to the movie on a whim, since I was bored and my relatives wanted to go.

Hm. I've only seen a couple of commercials too (didn't get out to see the movie after all this weekend; I'll try today...) but based on them, I completely expect a 30's, pulp, serial-like Buster Crabbe Buck Rogers/Flash Gordon-esque movie. And, heck, didn't you see the title before you saw the movie?

finally found a movie worse than the D&D Movie.

man this is more hokie than the Hokies of VT.

Gave it a 9. I found it to be a freakin' awesome movie - never seen anything like it. Pulp adventure with 21st century special effects? Wow.

And heck

Spoiler

an all-female amphibious squadron? That's worth an 8 right there!

I really liked it. I have to agree with some comments I heard on the way out of the theatre that the promo material (posters, previews, etc.) didn't really do it justice.

Didn't the name of the movie give you a hint as to what type of movie it was going to be???? Come on. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow! should have rang a couple of bells.

So, you've never seen the Street Fighter movie, then?

 

[ssampier]

I claim ignorance.

I don't know who Flash Gordon is. Buck Rogers I only vaguely remember.

Well, I liked it. It hit a bunch of nostalgia buttons, plus I am running an OGL Steampunk game right now and I couldn't help but try to fit the characters to the classes and vocations in the game...)

The Auld Grump, not generally a giant robot fan...

I thought it was a good idea that badly needed a rewritten script. The whole AH pulp fiction '30's style was pretty neat... but the story was damn near incomprehensible. The ending was a letdown.... I was hoping for a big aerial battle between all those Brit hover carriers and some other mechanized foe.
