“Feral Alcohol”…oh yeah—commas and their significance, that’s right…

I didn’t care about the call backs, just the bad dialogue in general. I found the action scenes far better written and directed than the rest of the film. In particular, I found the last five or ten minutes painful.

I shall ponder the rating system. I have a feeling I can get pretty weird with that one.

The dialogue…it didn’t offend me in any way, though I wouldn’t recommend the movie based on anything anyone actually SAID. Though I will admit I’m a sucker for call-back lines like “What day is this? What year?” and what-have-you.

It’s less annoying than when the call-backs popping up in six Star Wars movies, two cartoon series, countless comics, etc. But if people are still repeating themselves in Terminator 5, I reserve the right to take that back.

Also, will you be devising a TQP movie ranking system? I know you guys tossed around the “apples vs. oranges” topic the other day, so I’m not suggesting you compare something like “Blow-Up” to “The Little Mermaid II”—although, that sort of review would make for good reading. Maybe an action film hierarchy, I don’t know…

At first, I’d thought you typed “…FERAL alcohol cases…” in which case, it would seem they behaved rather well…for drunken packs of children who were raised by woodland creatures. That might’ve actually been the case, afterall. You shouldn’t cast judgement.

Loved the robots; hated the dialogue. Overall, I’d say you were more impressed than I was, but I must admit I had a good enough time.
