Movies I Have Seen That Once Is Enough

I have never been able to accept John Wayne turning his back on someone and getting shot in the back.

Clint Eastwood says this is one of his favorite moves so I guess it was a personal project. I got hooked into watching is as did a lot of viewers because it was sold as a Clint Eastwood western and it was not. I did not care for the ending.

I am aware of the story behind shooting African Queen. I just felt for my own opinion that Clint Eastwood was not the right person to play the John Huston role.

It says comedy and fantasy but when I saw it in the base theater when I was in the Navy, I'm glad I only spent 25 cents to see it. I am and was a resident of Houston and I missed it the thirty years I was away until I returned so I wanted a chance to see some of my home town. As I said, I did not see much funny about it and I did not get the fantasy part of it. I did not get it the first time and have no intention of seeing it again to understand it better.

I like realism in a western and really enjoyed Hell On Wheels. I think they went overboard with a lot of the elements in Deadwood. The old west was a pretty rough place to be and I think a better job was done with Hell On Wheels. HOW was also a western that broke new ground for the western.

I watched the original TV series and thoroughly enjoyed it and still remember some of the episodes. I got this thinking it would be like the series and it wasn't even close. It was an exercise in endurance and richly deserves it place in lists noting the worst movies ever made. I hope it did not hurt the careers of the actors who were in this exercise in futility.

This movie was a piece of garbage that was not even funny. Clearly it was a movie for those who enjoy movies with endless sexual joked and imagery. I can appreciate the somewhat risque but at least that has the chance to be funny. There was nothing funny about this.

I will probably hurt some people's feelings but after even watching it twice, I just did not get it. I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer but watching this was like watching paint dry in a lot of places. The only thing I got out of it was that two astronauts were going to another planet and HAL the computer took over the ship and they had to fight for their lives against HAL.

I only saw this movie once because my then wife wanted to see it. It was made on the cheap and it showed. One of the reasons I did not like it was the ending and I am not going any further with that. It could have been better with improvement in the writing, directing, and production values. Jay North was panned in this performance but i think he thought this would help him break into parts of having grown up. It looks like he did the best he could with what he had. He did not look comfortable with the part. Unfortunately, this did not help him achieve that goal. Anthony James is one of those actors who can really play the psycho successfully. I am sure the involvement of Angel Tompkins and Jay North was to help attract financial backing of which more of the same was needed.

I have no complaints about this movie and it is one that everyone should see. Kirk Douglas is what we call a JAG officer who is ordered to provide a defense for four men picked at random to be executed because the entire unit refused to make another charge into the machine gun fire during trench warfare in World War 1. The command corp was still fighting the Franco Prussian war aided by modern technology thus turning the front into a meat grinder. As Colonel Dax (Douglas) works his way up the chain of command he is shocked at the callous disregard that the command has for the soldiers. To them, the soldiers are pieces on a chess board and there is no concern of the many that are dying daily. The command is having banquets and luncheons everyday in their spit and polish uniforms and do not go to the front anymore than they have to. As I said, it is an excellent must see movie but once is enough for me, thank you.

I did not mind the movie and it kept me and my then girlfriend glued to our seats all the way to the end. I guess I am old school to like happy endings and I did not like the ending of this one at all. I watched the sequel and was not impressed by it either.

My then wife and I saw this when it was in the theater and I was impressed about the process that they went through. We are still hearing about this 40 years later and living through Watergate once is enough.

i have already established the I enjoy westerns with a element of the supernatural, thriller, horror, scifi, et cetera. I got this with that of mind and it delivered on the thriller element. However, the plot was hard to follow, it was tedious with a hard to follow plot and a very negative ending.

There are movies that I watch just because of who is in them and this is one of them. Being R rated, I certainly did not expect Star Wars or something like that but this is what I call a hard R movie. There were about four or five people in it that I wanted to watch and as actors they did what their parts required. The story line matched the condition of the rating. To end this, the actors were good but this is definitely on that I do not plan to watch again.

I am afraid even a negative review will help this movie. I can attest that the sound was the worst I have seen in a movie. I watched it sometime in the 70's or 80's on late night TV. I kept checking my TV to see if there was a problem with the TV. I guess this would be called a fan movie today or a college project but it does not even rise to that. I hope the "actors" had successful lives in a different direction because this lost cause certainly killed any chance they had in the movies.

A good movie by Robert Redford and although it was based on a true story, I did not like the ending.

I do not have to say much about this hard R movie. The one redeeming factor was the presence of Johnny Crawford of Rifleman fame and even he did not look comfortable in this piece of garbage. Just read the reviews or watch the trailers and you will get the gist of this. I am glad this did not finish the career of Mr. Crawford although I am pretty sure that was a period in his career when he was trying to get as far away from the character of Mark McCain as possible which he had a difficult time doing.
