John Travolta looks like Stone Cold Steve Austin in that movie. LOL!

Today is a horrible day in the history of cinema. Today is the U.S. debut of From Paris With Love. It features a fat, foul mouthed, potato headed, hoop earring wearing, and goateed John Travolta running around with an uzi in each hand pretending that he's an action hero. Well, I guess it's better than him pretending that he's an actor. A bunch of explosions look to hide the fact that he hasn't appeared in anything worth mentioning since Pulp Fiction.

The worst thing of all about this movie though is that it rips off one of the greatest titles of all time. That title is From Russia, With Love. For those of you who don't know; From Russia, With Love is the name of the fantastic Ian Fleming novel featuring James Bond and also happens to be the name of one of the top Bond movies ever made. Mr. Fleming must be rolling in his grave.

I repeat- John Travolta is not James Bond!!!

Completely agree.

Disagree:
Travolta is not only a great actor (at least, if he wants - he seems lazy to me), he also was in 4 very good post-Pulp Fiction movies imo:
Get Shorty
Face/Off
The Thin Red Line
Primary Colors
(plus maybe Mad City, which was not nearly as good as I had expected though)

I've never heard about From Paris With Love before. A quick research revealed that it was written/produced by Luc Besson. In my opinion Besson wrote/directed one great. one very good and two good movies in the 80s and 90s, but I didn't like any of his post-1997 works I watched.

You're missing Battlefield Earth from your list of great post Pulp Fiction movies featuring John Travolta.

He has said on several occasions that this is his finest movie.

Hey, John Travolta appeared in Operation: Broken Arrow, one of my favorite movies of all time and that one was from 1996, I think. So you are wrong, amp316.

I forgot about this movie.

Travolta and Christian Slater starring opposite one another. Two acting titans in one masterpiece. It would be like Brando and Olivier together in one film. I knew that I was in for something special when I witnessed the opening scene with that ferocious boxing match.

John Travolta is terrible. He has been terrible in everything he's ever done. This is not news.

I agree. The ripoff title and average looking story/acting/action makes me not want to watch it.

And Semi-Off Topic: I don't consider the Daniel Craig "Bond" movies to be real James Bond movies. Where is the class? Where is Q? Where are the gadgets (kind of the same as where is Q)? Where are the great car chases? All we have is a disgruntled, angry, ugly white guy pretending to be Bond.

Casino Royale had a cool car chase and Quantum opened with one.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA yeah great car chase in Casino Royale. He drives for about 10 seconds and then flips his car. Real exciting. I'll admit Quantam had a decent car chase; but nothing like the great Pierce Brosnan chases like Tomorrow Never Dies where he drives his car from his cell phone in that parking garage or Goldeneye's tank scene, etc.

I don't consider 2 hours of poker, and 20 minutes of action a great bond film.

How does he manage to flip it anyway? My works van has better handling than that car.

His girl friend was tied int he middle of the road.

I know why, I just can't work out how.
