Premutos (Olef Ittenbach)
As the Russian Ark my mate took round froze 30 minutes in and wouldnt work on other machine, had to resort to this.

can i just say, where have you been all my life Olef??
The worst dubbing outside japan, the shockingly amateur "acting", the incomprehensible "plot" (with obligatory "shocking" anti xtian digs) and the fountains of goregoregore.

SOLD!!!!!

Garden of Love and the charming sounding Family Saga are on my list.

:laugh::laugh::happy:

I didn't watch it out of boredom as it's one of those films which was critically slated but, like The Shawshank Redemption, really found a market on home video and it's such a quirky oddity that I could watch it more times than you could imagine!

Fine. Each to there own. I just happen to be a fan of the rather kinetic comic's and the movie just came off as being a bit linear and one tone.
That's not to say it's the worst comic book movie ever, oh hell no.
Batman and Robin (Shudder), Steel (it's Shaq), and Catwoman (not even Halle Berry in bondage costumes could save this movie!) are all, far, far worse.

God yeah, Steel is such an abysmal movie. I still can't believe I actually sat through it

Batman & Robin is a highly entertaining movie! George, Arnie, and Uma are so much fun! :nod:

Greetings!

Depends on where you stand as a fan. Of the comics or not.
I personaly found it to lack the chilling, early Miller feel of the Burten movies, and the campie fun of the TV series, 1969 movie, and Batman Forever.
Arnie's role as Mr Freeze was what killed the movie for me, he lacked the sadness that that excelent villain needed to be complete.
Uma was meh as Poison Ive, Bane was hardly used.
Don't get me ****ing started on Bats...........oh you can **** Robin to.
Over all it just sucked, really hard.
Thank god the Justice League TV series fixed Batmans stature as the kick ass hero he is.

The Shawshank Redemption, never before used in a sentence praising Howard the Duck. :lol:

I admit it's an unlikely comparison, but both were films which (relatively) failed at the box office but found massive success on the home video market, partly due to word-of-mouth.

I'm not comparing them in terms of quality!
