Average rating (122 reviews) By now you should know what you're getting, if you like 90 minutes of action and very little characterization then be my guest. With hardly any plot to speak of and good special effects, this film at least has some novelty in that the main character is not really a hero.
Then again, Hancock seems to have looked into that side of super powers in more depth - so all this has going for it is the fact there are some "jump" effects. In the film, Hayden Christensen, David Rice, finds he can teleport.

Average rating (6 reviews) John Milius has always fancied himself as a latter day Hemingway, a kind of warrior-poet accredited with Jaws, Dirty Harry, and Evel Knievel. This is another flick from when i was a kid that i almost forgot about and was glad that i didn't as it's still very entertaining! Can't get enough Futurama: Futurama News.

To make the due date, they abandon the usual shipping lanes and head for the Scum Cluster, a war zone of bandits and rogue asteroids.
But whatever perils lie in store in the depths of space, nothing can prepare them for the deadly cargo that lies in the hold of their ship! Average rating (2 reviews) Judge Dredd. Average rating (25 reviews) Recent years have seen a great deal of well-produced, successful adaptations of well-known comic book characters. Back in the mid-nineties when Judge Dredd was released things were oh so different. Not that Stallone was necessarily THE worst choice to play Dredd, just that with all his shouting 'I AM der law! ' and the unforgivable decision for him to remove his helmet you can't help feeling that there's a much, much better film in here somewhere.
Moderate effects fail to hide a film that totally fails to do justice to the classic 2000AD character. I had this movie on VHS and I loved it. This movie may not have been as violent as the comics but its still a very cool film, a Stallone classic! I have never read the comics so I couldn't judge this on how faithful it was to the original material but I have to admit I really enjoyed this. In 1995 the film had 2000AD fans attacking it like rabid dogs.
