I used to use IGN to get my movie reviews. If anyone else does that, then heed this advice: Don't trust a single Todd Gilchrist review. He is a total ---smurfing--- idiot, and gives glowing reviews to suckfests. Why he is employed there still, I don't know.
Once upon a time, I read a review there for Jeepers Creepers. He convinced me to go see it with his glowing review as to how it was the best horror movie to come out in years. That movie was a piece of ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- as you all know.

Uh, genius, I did...and it received a "B" on Fandango from the users and many "A" grades from reviewers....movies.com gave it an "A" with a critics average of "C+" and readers average of "B".
:dizzy:

Did you see the trailers before you went to see it? Even those looked bad... like a cross between Mad Max and Escape from New York (and I liked both those movies).
:laugh2:

Ah yes, movies.com. That site gave Dragon Wars a 'B' (fans' and critics' grades were both lower, btw). Here's what you thought about Dragon Wars:

To movies.com's credit, they did give The Hottie and The Nottie an 'F' (granted, I have not seen that movie but, as with Doomsday, I trusted my instinct and stayed away). However, given the fact that you have a history of being diametrically opposed to their opinions, you might want to check it out.

Saw the trailer...looked like exactly what you said...a cross between Max Max and Escape from NY... and I too liked both of those. I guess the movie wasn't TERRIBLE...but it certainly would be a far stretch to call it "good". It didn't quite reach "entertaining".
