I stand behind my assessment. It is not hard to decide whether a comedy is good or not all that matters is how much I laugh and if the laughs were of quality. I watched the film and laughed only a few times and even then they were minor. I had huge expectations but the film is so poorly written and dumb, I mean "build a replica town for them to terrorize" even for a parody this is shoddy work. Especially if you compare it to something like Monty Python and the Holy Grail which is a similar parody but made on a smaller budget, that movie was funny and brilliant.

Keep up the nitpicking, movie watching is no fun if everyone has the same opinion.

Dude, that's Mel Brooks that you're bad mouthing.  He's much better than any of the VGChartz writers.  :p

Whoa...  I just noticed that you also rated the Karate Kid remake as a good movie.  For the love of God, what are you thinking?


The Karate Kid remake is in no way a bad movie. Aside from the rather brutal fighting scenes against 11 year olds. I like Young Frankenstein as far as Mel Brooks goes but Blazing Saddles just does not do it for me.

I actually like the Last Action Hero when I was a kid considering that I pretty much ate up all Arnold's movies then. My taste have probably changed but I still would give it 3/5 (Netflix rating) just because of Arnold.

Also, you have Gladiator as a meh movie...  Not sure why the hell that is.  It is at least a 3-4/5 movie.

Blazzing Saddles is at least a 3/5 also.  If you don't think Mel Brooks did a very good job on that movie then you should try Robin Hood: Men in Tights.  If you don't like that movie then I am not sure what to say to you.

Seriously? I just saw it last week and thought it was very meh. The effects were really, REALLY awesome, but the story, characters and acting were all pretty average and predictably cliche.

Yeah I agree.It sucked as a movie.But as a superhero movie,it was pretty damn awesome compared to the other shit we get nowadays.

As a matter of fact I don't think Mel Gibson did a very good job on that movie because he was not involved in any way shape or form. :p

i agree in that good/bad tatse is meaningless

The shining is a scary movies for me,its one of the few films if i watch alone in the house,i start to think what was that noise or something like that,a good psycho chiller

do you like ice cream doc and you are the caretaker sir,haha gotta love movie quotes

i'm pretty easily pleased when it comes to movies and you should watch movies more than once on most occasions which most of us do over time no doubt as expectations and mood can often affect the way you feel about it

i give Gladiator as an example the first time i saw it i think i must have been in elitist mode becasue i didn't think much of it but really it is quite an impressive movie a modern type epic which we really don't get much of these days and phoniex,crowe and nielsen are pretty good in gladiator,i'd say its a pretty enjoyable ride and has oliver reed too

mel brooks is a legend doesn't mean you have to like his films though and harvy korman and madeline kahn are awsome comic actors and usually cast in his films

i like high anxiety,young frankenstein,history of the world,the producers not sure most people would say they are good films though

The Karate Kid remake is a bad movie in many ways.  Take off your jacket...  Put on your jacket...  My favorite thing about the movie is how it takes place in China, and the fighting style that Jackie Chan is teaching mini-Fresh Prince is called Kung Fu (he evens says that he's teaching him Kung Fu).  There is no karate in the movie...  I hope that Jackie got a nice paycheck to be involved in this embarrassment.  I'm going to assume that you have seen the original Karate KId and would like to ask you in what way do you think that the new one is superior?  Besides for the fact that Jackie Chan could kick Pat Morita's butt I have nothing.

At least we agree on Young Frankenstein.

You did say to nitpick.  :p

Book - Malazan Book of the Fallen series 

Game - Metro Last Light

TV - Deadwood

Music - Forest Swords 

I don't get all the love for HP:DHPII. Sure it was an ok film and better than quite a few of the films in the franchise (especially the early ones with some of the worst acting I've ever seen) but it wasn't great. And the epilogue was actually done worse than in the book (where it was done terribly). They didn't look middle aged, Ron had put on some weight, Harry hadn't shaved in a couple of days and Hermione had her hair up - otherwise they looked identical to their ~18 year old selves.

Oops I meant Mel Brooks...  I apparently got the two Mels mixed up.
