Reign of Fire - minor spoilers

[gariig]

Where is B.A.D.D. at??? This movie hella sucked unless you think a Dragon is a mindless lizard that doesn't remember anything past it's line of vision. I agree with Eric Noah, two hours of my life I will never get back(not to mention I could have bough a good D&D book and had smart dragons run around).

I thought it was fantastic, and that this movie will make Christian Bale's career.

 

[Corinth]

At least it had nothing to do with Courteny Soloman's abomination of a film.

 

[Hand of Evil]

I was so-so on the film, some parts were very good, others could have been. Should have spent more time showing combat with the dragons.

 

[CrazyMage]

Aww, don't listen to Eric. He's just bitter he lost time from making the "Library of Death" with its Stacks o' Doom and Book Golems ("he hits for 27 points of paper cut damage!")

Reign of Fire is not a great classic movie, but had enough entertaining bits. Don't tick off a dragon unless you mean it!

However, having just seen Road to Perdition, if your money can only go to one of those two movies, see Road to Perdition. Best directing I have seen in a loooong time. I am betting you will see this movie win a few oscars.

ehhh.. I just got home from RoF

ehhh..

The dragons looked cool.

Dragons eating ash was very very cool.

I was surprised Matty-boy could pull off an action role.

It was cool to see Bashir from DS9.

The flame special effects were amazing.

It is a shame the movie was.. stupid.

Why have the tank in the movie.. if you don't intend to use it? Especially when a dragon is charging right at it?

Countries were willing to use nukes. It was clear that the dragons' origin was London. It seems London remained a nest. Why not nuke London?

The male was hybornating all that time.. ok, I will suspend for that. Where did the eggs come from that it fertilized? Maybe he pulled a Jurasic Park. Stopped by Italy to get cloned?

Is it ever wise to get two actors that look a like to play characters that are on the screen together a lot? Creed and Quinn could have been twins, heh.

A machine gun to the head of a dragon does not hurt it? Ok...

*shrug* Maybe I should have seen Eight Legged Freaks.

I'd put this one about in the same company as A Knight's Tale, which I liked. It's definitely not going to win any awards, but it was an enjoyable, brainless flick. It could have been taken a little farther on several levels. It would probably make a better television series than movie.

But it had what is absolutely one of my favorite scenes ever in the little play that Quinn and his second-in-command put on for the kids. It reminded me of how I felt when I first saw the movie it was based on. The scene was priceless.

Damn, I wish I could've seen Road to Perdition too though.

Two Thumbs WAAAAY Down.

This plot had more holes than Gary Gygax's underpants!

Baby Spoilers, I guess. Scroll down.

Why are starving people keeping a horse?

If London is so bad, why are they LIVING SO CLOSE to it?

How did they happen to get all those nifty toys? Tanks? Chopper? Flares? The special arrows at the end?

Who the heck is gonna sign up for the job of the Archangels?

Why was Van Zan so upset all the time when his men died? He doesn't realize his line of work is a bit dangerous? Puh-leeze.

Why is it that the dragons will notice people going out to pick vegetables, but this chopper wheels around the skies without anyone noticing it at all?

One bull? Come on.

Sigh.

If someone would have held me down and mugged me and taken the $6.00 that it cost to get into the movie, it probably would have been better spent.

Err.. he wasn't "so" upset. He was upset that he had lead soldiers into an ambush and got them all killed.

Then he got over it and went on with the plan.
