2 | Someone said "So bad, its Bad" | The artwork on the DVD is way more satisfying than the film itself. I'm not picky when it comes to horror films, ill watch them from any sub genre to any kind of budget, but this was just bad. | [] | B00VET1GMW | B00VET1GMW | AE4QJ22CVFGIMAZWBW2W7WJEWGNQ | 1,453,148,860,000 | 1 | false |
5 | Horror & Humor In Holliston! | "Holliston" is a fearnet original series and hits quit close to home (literally). It surrounds four friends, two of which are aspiring Horror film directors and work at a local television station and have a low budget TV show. During there struggle to make a name in horror, they are faced with alot of life's obstacles and are caught in silly scenarios. Of course there is a love story thrown in for that 'soap opera' effect, which works very well.<br /><br />If you're expecting this show to be anything like Adam Green's films (Hatchet 1&2, Spiral, Frozen, etc.) then hold your horses. Although this show CLEARLY pays homage to all kinds of horror, it is a very silly sitcom. If you are a big horror fan like I am and can appreciate the comedic aspect of this show, then by all means take a look for yourself.<br />Another thing I love about this show is all of the "inside" jokes that some people may not understand unless you are from or are familiar with Holliston, for example the hilarious Market BASKET scene, I almost died laughing. But don't worry, there are PLENTY of laughs for everyone. If your the type that doesn't care for or laugh at 'stupid' humor, then you may not find this enjoyable. It is the type of show that does NOT take itself too seriously, it is intentionally silly and at points idiotic (dare I use that word?) LOL<br /><br />The Characters are fantastic! Let me go through them ;)<br /><br />Adam Green as Adam is hilarious, madly in love with horror cinema and his ex-girlfriend Corri. His character is very passionate about everything he does and reminds me of myself in some ways.<br /><br />Joe Lynch as Joe, much like Adam, hilarious. He is very devoted to his best buddy and is always by his side. He is also dating Laura (see below) and there relationship is hilariously adorable!<br /><br />Laura Ortiz as Laura is easily my favorite character. She's the 'lovey dovey' cute girl with a 'blonde' personality. Shes the goofy type but her heart is in the right place. One of those characters you can help but fall in love with.<br /><br />Corri English as Corri plays Adams love interest/ex-girlfriend. Shes the pretty girl next door type and her character almost seems out of place sometimes, BUT it works very well and I think that's what makes her character such a great addition.<br /><br />Dee Snider as Lance Rockett, I mean, c'mon. That is just a great character. He is still stuck in those 'hair metal' days and rocks those leather pant's like no tomorrow! Very delightful and takes over a scene when he enters a room!<br /><br />Oderus Urungus as Oderus plays Adams imaginary friend who live's in Adam's closet and gives advice to Adam when he is in a sticky situation. Although his advice isn't always perfect, at least he tries!<br /><br />And of course the show is sprinked with all types of awesome cameos, examples being Bill Mosely, Danielle Harris, Tony Todd, Seth Green, John Landis and MUCH more!<br /><br />Overall, I truly enjoy this show. The energetic cast and fun filled set's give you alot to look at and admire. If you're a horror fan with a loose sense of humor, I deffinately suggest it. Or if your just a fan of sitcoms in general then I would recommend it to you as well. You won't know until you try. | [] | B008MIYKN0 | B008MIYKN0 | AE4QJ22CVFGIMAZWBW2W7WJEWGNQ | 1,349,821,689,000 | 12 | false |

5 | The chemistry continues | I watched these movies for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. The on screen chemistry between these two is something that can not be matched.

5 | Thanks! My copy was the one in description | First off, if I'm purchasing a item that I never experienced I read the reviews. When I was shopping and saw the the DVDs on CBGB's, I read and decided I was gonna get the one shown above.The other is on the very beginning of the punk scene when dead boys, Ramones, Patti Smith group, Iggy, television......made their start in NYC thus Hilly adding the OMFUG to the name of the club he started. The second wave was the above shown (fit DVD descriptions on amazon). Well both were extremely familiar as I grew up there and was into the whole CBGB's early punk bands and the hardcore punk. I have seen so many bands there started at 16 still in HS. Kinda made feel old watching but only for a quick minute. I was looking for my friends and I saw lots of people I knew from the hardcore scene at CBs were in these videos. Anyway back to point, I only read one or two of the reviews because I was sure I was getting just because. Well before I opened it I was trying to decide if this would be a gift for hubby. I had already had it stashed so I looked on my order, than read all the reviews and some folks either got the wrong item. Or they misread or something so I was freaking out as these folks gave 1star and horrible review. Panic attack, so then had to open and the hubby and I watched it. And the one I received was the one on the description from amazon, so I was relieved. I realize now from the bad reviews that a bunch of folks gave that they must have thought they were getting the early CBGB's DVD. But ended up great for me. It was like I was there again This was a while back, I'm 51 now. We were kids and young adults in the NYC Hardcore bands and fans, some older people but I was one of the kids back then. We didn't have the money and fancy equipment that may have produced a high quality vhs tape. They weren't invented yet. So the things that made a bunch of purchasers of the same DVD hated it. I thought this product was better than I expected because I had watched the first one and it told a story, a true story and a great story. Everything the fellow reviewers that gave their descriptions of what made the movie so awful, but it was just that vintage vhs recordings of a bunch of good NY bands playing at CBs. I think its a classic. And awesome that those who made this tapes, still had them and were awesome enough to share this. It's a part of the history of this famous club. Recorded with people slamming and dancing, really into the bands. No one narrating, no partial song band clips and no fancy equipment. Recommended highly to any open minded person into music and the history of a lil club that made alot of punk bands known, some well-known and quote a few punk rock superstars. Worth way more than the price! | [] | B00008L3YR | B00008L3YR | AFNE36WXSOUO3JJNUKLL6WMU6NPQ | 1,449,634,087,000 | 1 | false |

2 | Felt homemade | It seemed like the actresses were quoting lines the entire time, rather than acting. Also (and this is shallow, but I was misled, and others may be as well), from the poster, I thought this would be two young actresses.

3 | Good - but not as wonderful as the book! | The movie takes great liberties with the book, but it does continue the theme of literacy and freedom. I would recommend it for the storyline, but do not expect it to follow the book at all (aside from main characters). My students greatly enjoyed it though. | [] | B0008FXT4Q | B0008FXT4Q | AEHNFQ2VWCV22QDSSGBUZPMCBZQA | 1,196,428,782,000 | 3 | false |

5 | Jewels of the Triple Crown | What an exciting video for horse racing fans and just those who love horses. It was fun to watch the actual footage of the great racehorses of the past.

Also, some of the best jockeys of the past are included too. | [] | 6303321038 | 6303321038 | AHEKUIECSJ7GCHG5OB4XL4FISJKA | 1,181,831,086,000 | 1 | true |
4 | Women in American Horse Racing | I really liked the idea of this video. Not enough has been done to celebrate women in horse racing. The content was good in it's honesty about women in racing. I would have enjoyed seeing the women in action and having a little more of a professional spin on the production of the video. I hope we see more books and DVDs about women in the horse industry. I think every woman in this video had more of a story to tell. | [] | B000P6RIZE | B000P6RIZE | AHEKUIECSJ7GCHG5OB4XL4FISJKA | 1,181,830,248,000 | 6 | true |
5 | The Little Horse That Could | I'm saving this DVD for my grandchild to view. It's an up beat story about a horse and the people who loved him, cared for him and competed him. There is no unhappiness or overwhelming odds the animal or people have to endure to reach their goals. Children will feel good and understand the importance of treating a horse to the best of their abilities. The jumping adds suspense and excitment to the story. | [] | B00009PSDX | B00009PSDX | AHEKUIECSJ7GCHG5OB4XL4FISJKA | 1,181,829,593,000 | 4 | false |

1 | Gravity Terrible & Boring | To whom it may concern,<br /><br />I have ordered the movie gravity and I am not please. For the fee of $14.99 you guys are asking to own this movie it did not meet my expectations. the movie was completely boring. I couldn't even watch the whole movie that's how boring it was. As Amazon customer I felt I have been robbed for my $14.99<br /><br />Hours before I order the Movie Gravity I buy the movie Thor The Dark world which was a very excellent movie and none the less I got my money worth<br /><br />But the movie gravity was terrible and boring I don't mind spending money amazon but this movie was just terrible and boring and was not worth $14.99<br /><br />Amazon truly need to have somebody scan these movies before they put sell these type of movies to the internet market to amazon customers to rent or buy to own. I personally don't know how the movie gravity got good ratings because the movie is so boring and dead I couldn't continue watching it. | [] | B00HJ92QTI | B00HJ92QTI | AGC6ELKSLYYA7TZ3IZSMVLCADRHA | 1,392,302,797,000 | 2 | true |

1 | A Wasted Opportunity | In time, someone may well make a good movie about the real America, as opposed to the fake America that Michael Moore promotes, but this movie is not it .<br /><br />I saw this movie at the Liberty Film Festival in LA, at the time, I was surprised at the positive reception the movie got. I think many of the crowd were gratified that someone was trying (however badly) to promote America, and disparage Moore . But there are plenty of websites that do that, and for a movie to reach the sort of people Moore reaches, it needs to have popular appeal. This movie doesn't.<br /><br /> Part of the reason for that is Wilson himself. Evidently a man of reasonable intellect, he spends the beginning of the movie trying to create an impression of a 'good ol' midwest' boy who can't figure out why Michael Moore is saying such bad things about America . In this sense, he deceives from the very beginning, just as Moore does.<br /><br /> Sadly, Moore is better at it, and Wilson's transparent trickery becomes clear very quickly. The rank hypocrisy of lambasting Moore for doing exactly what Wilson himself is doing seemed to elude everyone at the Liberty screening.<br /><br /> There follows a collection of ill-assembled interviews, with no connecting strand, lest you count their basic agreement that Moore can say whatever the hell he wants, but he should shut up if he has any sense/loves America/doesn't want the terrorists to win/etc.<br /><br /> This movie has some redeeming features. It is well-edited, fairly well-shot and Penn Jillette is a delight. But those redeeming features are not enough to obscure an amateurish film made by an untalented and grossly opportunistic young director who will doubtless genuinely become what he has contrived to appear - a nonentity. | [] | B0006PWM1O | B0006PWM1O | AHU5FKUS6JTHQLQVGIPWGZYZYAJA | 1,101,967,970,000 | 20 | false |

1 | Stupid, ridiculous. A new low for SCIFI | Very lame time travel, like they actually discovered negative energy to create a worm hole in folded space.., but having that advanced technology they can't figure out how to kill the aliens? Good luck with that. So, did they use lasers, acids, poison gas, nerve gas, robots, AI, bio-weapons, ,tactical nukes, drones or dozens of other existing technologies to defeat the aliens.... Nope. he human race is going to obliterated because they are using machine guns and regular guns and bullets.

5 | Better than a TV show, alternate views | I thought this was a pretty good play, which is a little different than lets a regular movie, there is no multi-million dollar effects here, just folks talking, it relies on acting and script , and script idea which incorporates available props. Probably give it 5 stars because I didn't know where they where going with it ,so it made it interesting. You could probably do a few more of these, someone goes to Peru to get more wine or something etc..,any sequels i couldn't imaged giving more than 3stars. | [] | B00J6GMGIS | B00J6GMGIS | AECUFBZPWM3VOZXMF35734YRJPLA | 1,488,389,341,000 | 1 | true |

It's great to know that when it comes to circumcision, you don't have to. | [] | B07DW9M34K | B07DW9M34K | AFGNH3KC424BKJICL6XK2HAXSRTA | 1,594,262,995,890 | 2 | false |
5 | Yes! Truth! You can reclaim control over your health and live a more fruitful life. | Don't outsource your health. You can be empowered once you see these obvious truths. Complicated information is presented in a very succinct and easily understandable way. Misconceptions and catastrophic mistakes in our medical paradigm are clearly revealed by thorough and responsible research and presentation in this documentary.<br />Thanks to the courage and compassion of the creators of this we can begin a path towards clearer understanding of the true nature of disease and how we can avoid it altogether. | [] | B0B8L66C4L | B0B8L66C4L | AFAMCL65ZFRBZV7ETYVAJINIXGXA | 1,671,073,913,215 | 7 | true |
5 | Everyone should at least try to watch this and introduce their friends as well | Clear concise well-produced thorough important information that needs to be distributed to the masses.

Very hard to watch because the truth is so shocking and people are so stupid you can't believe human beings would behave this way. Cognitive dissonance is real. I watched it in segments to process the information slowly. I have offered to purchase this for friends to see so that I don't feel so alone in my experience of the important history of my own life. | [] | B07FGDXWW4 | B07FGDXWW4 | AFAMCL65ZFRBZV7ETYVAJINIXGXA | 1,562,961,501,927 | 4 | true |
2 | one sided. | I don't believe circumcision is necessary at all, but it should still be explored as to how most circumcised men feel about the issue. I have spoken to many circumcised men and many of them don't care that they were circumcised and actually, many of them were happy. As terrible as it sounds, many men are facing a social stigma for having an uncircumcised penis. I have hear terrible stories of men being made fun of by women for being uncircumcised. I have actually spoken to women who said they don't like uncircumcised penises. The social stigma is still alive in North America and this issue should absolutely be explored. We should be speaking to men who have chosen to circumcise and men who were angry that their parents who didn't circumcise them when they were a baby. This issue is not black and white, it is still very grey and this documentary does not cover that at all. The movie makes it feel like it is 100% black and white. | [] | B07DXQ4QHM | B07DXQ4QHM | AGM7FHALT32Z7C2PK7DXYMIBR75A | 1,545,641,414,902 | 4 | false |

1 | No, no no! | Having taken lots of Pilates classes, I'm here to tell you this dvd isn't very good. Some of the exercise cycles are incomplete (Garcia does right leg series, but skips left, that sort of thing), preparatory instructions are sometimes unclear, and reminders as to inhalation and exhalation are scant. This might seem petty, but certain poses just fall into place when your breathing is right, and this dvd won't help with that. If you're new to Pilates, buy something else. If you're experienced, don't buy this unless you have a remote handy at all times to stop the dvd and complete a cycle of reps, or unless you're so experienced you don't need breathing reminders. | [] | B000085EFC | B07C46PCTB | AE2IE5VBEVBMWBFULXQSJKWOLZBA | 1,113,495,345,000 | 10 | true |

5 | Masterfully presented | Excellent. This documentary carries a message that redeems much of what global advertising fails to do, which is mainly to connect us with something artful and truthful, something that joins us in the journey as opposed to assaulting us along the way. The individuals interviewed were thoughtful and subtle in their explorations and it took the greater part of the film for them to reveal the beliefs that drive them and some few others in their profession to success. I feel their message applies to whatever path one walks through life: if you wish to live a meaningful life and do meaningful work, you have to retain the courage continually to reconnect your life and work with creative and truthful intent.

1 | Another slice of fantasy | Unfortunately, I don't share the enthusiasm for neither the books nor the movies many wish related more to each other.<br /><br />However I do agree with one reviewer that the subtle Christian film, or the universal message is more appealing than the subjective interpretations of an explicit thought conveyed by the main characters more involved in group think rather than truth. Because to inquire about the truth leads one to the pillar, and that bulwark is the Church, the visible Church. Thankfully for 2000 years we have stood on that rock of authority versus our own fallible interpretations of an end which has led us to skip our beginnings and stunted our growth.<br /><br />One does wonder however, how some can deny transubstantiation and then validate what occurs in this movie. Namely, that the Sacred Host was used to cure and all the while remained a 'symbol' of Christ's Body and Blood. Somehow, it must have been faith, and yet if faith was the only thing required, and the vessel of our Lord did not truly transform from a wafer, than the mere symbolic gesture is empty.<br /><br />Hopefully this film will be another reason for Protestants to come home to 2000 years of authority and abandon nonsensical, subjective and recent 'theologies' about the end times. | [] | B000ASDFHM | B000ASDFHM | AGVG3XGFR4SWJRKOSSI3MNEOHKVA | 1,132,958,632,000 | 7 | false |

4 | Prophetic!! | This is a film for the traditionalist Catholic. It was as if the writers of this film (I believe it was a play originally) had been reading the "Ottaviani Intervention" and the warnings of ArchBishop Lefebvre.<br /><br />Several coincidences between this film and our present state of decay in the Catholic Church.<br /><br />1. Transubstantiation is being denied by many Catholics.<br />2. Yoga and Eastern rituals have infiltrated the faith.<br />3. Social Revolution has been the perogative of Dioceses worldwide.<br />4. The priesthood is completely horizontal with the laity.<br />5. The priesthood no longer wears vestments worthy of their Office.<br />6. Ecumenism has taken priority over salvation of souls.<br />7. Faithlessness in Christ and the Church is rampant among the clergy, theologians and teachers, to the point where some speculate there is no hell, it might be empty and Christ might not have resurrected or even existed.<br />8. Obedience is insisted to the point of papalotry.<br />9. Heresy is non-existant as nonCatholics are merely imperfectly united with Catholics.<br />10. The only groups that don't deserve respect according to most conservative Catholics are Traditionalists!<br />11. As prophecised the Lord has been taken out of the Holy of Holies and one has to look and try to find him.<br />12. The Tridentine Mass is suppressed!!! Yes, it was at the Diocesan level for decades, until the Commission under Cardinal Stickler proved the Mass of Ages was not banned, only to be allowed under special permission from the local Bishop!!! This permission is still denied across Dioceses across the nation, and even when given, does not include all the Sacraments!<br /><br />This last is what this movie is about. It is a shock to the senses to watch this movie and contrast it with today.<br /><br />I give it 4 stars because of the technical flaws with the film, however it is so inexpensive, it is worth buying!! It is an eye opener. | [] | 1896306292 | 1896306292 | AGVG3XGFR4SWJRKOSSI3MNEOHKVA | 1,128,910,593,000 | 17 | true |
5 | A Tragedy | I echo the sentiments of the previous reviewer. Why this film has not been released on DVD is bizarre.<br /><br />However many titles have been ignored in the transfer.<br /><br />EL CID<br />Sodom and Gomorrah<br />Samson and Delilah<br />Keys of the Kingdom<br />Shoes of the Fisherman<br />A.D.<br /><br />Certainly some of these films are poor and others are outstanding, however for some odd reason, the studios have chosen to ignore these titles. My thought, at the time, was that like "The Cardinal", some of these films would have been remastered and released on the coattails of the magnificant "The Passion...". Unfortunately, this is not so.<br /><br />Quo Vadis may be a definitive chapter to any Catholics's collection of outstanding films in an age where orthodoxy is a no-no in the motion picture circuit.<br /><br />To ignore it is a disgrace. | [] | B000A1ENCU | B000A1ENCU | AGVG3XGFR4SWJRKOSSI3MNEOHKVA | 1,125,365,382,000 | 52 | false |
5 | Finally they get it | DC is doing it again. Let's face it, when one pictured the "Dark Knight" of Frank Miller, did they expect a Cesar Romero Joker in Burton's Batman? No. Did they expect pop music and "chick's dig the car"? No. And who didn't think of "Scooby Doo Meets Batman" when Clooney pulled out the Batman Credit Card?<br /><br />Honstly I was expecting Batman V to have Alfred serving bat cookies.<br /><br />Finally they get it right! Batman is above all a drama. It is about the humanity behind these characters, not the joke cracking Webhead.<br /><br />DC realises that Batman is an intelligent comic. While certainly some of the character over the years were over the top, my generation found a Batman and his archvillians who were DANGEROUS. They were characters who were three dimensional. They were flesh and blood and could be coming to a city near you.<br /><br />Who doesn't laugh with the line, "love that Joker"? This time, Batman's enemy Scarecrow was a freaky character with an actor who, no offense, looked like Joan Rivers in cosmetic surgery heaven. If that isn't scary, I don't know what is.<br /><br />Batman needed to be fleshed out and in this film he was. Yes, it was more about Bruce Wayne. And Smallville is about Clark Kent. But this is what makes Batman interesting, in that he is an alter-ego, not the person himself. By coming to gripes with people we reach an emotional attachment, an in depth analysis of how they tick. We care for them. And this is the purpose of drama, which Batman is.<br /><br />I honestly have no desire to contrast Keaton with Bale,because they are two different versions of Batman. Keaton was good at what he did. In fact, when comparing to Kilmer and Clooney, give me Keaton all day and all night. However, Bale's Batman is what we have all been dreaming about, namely a Batman that showed true purpose and that became real.<br /><br />My apologies because I think most here have been much more eloquent and detailed in their reviews.<br /><br />Looking forward to the next one. | [] | B000AU9UYM | B000AU9UYM | AGVG3XGFR4SWJRKOSSI3MNEOHKVA | 1,124,500,630,000 | 10 | false |
2 | What were they thinking? | The glory of Highlander I is its mythical storyline. Like Lord of the Rings, the beauty of magic in a rational world is appealing to fantasy enthusiasts all around the world. Sometimes the best mysteries are inexplicable and presume a higher being in control of the universe. So, as such Highlander appeals to those of a theist philosophy in its romantic style, eluding to the graces man receives in an ordinary world.<br />At times, history is the most appealing aspect of fantasy. Watching a young Connor battle with his clan against a foe from another land, to the commoner appears completely normal and possibly based on a historical war.<br />This movie has stripped the Highlander of those elements which appeal to fantasy and converted it to an unlyrical science fiction series. I have nothing against science fiction, but the original Highlander never hinted at extraterrestrails. I suppose the original was nothing more than a trick. Here you go, yes there is a higher power, but wait, before you think we are saying that, let me take the veil over your eyes and show you that science was truly behind it!<br />Does anyone truly wonder why the t.v. series reverted to the original premise of the story? Because it was a better plot!<br />Highlander II does have some moments that I would enjoy if in another movie series, but certainly not as a part in it. Why Lambert even agreed to do this, at the height of his career is beyond me. | [] | 0782008380 | 0782008380 | AGVG3XGFR4SWJRKOSSI3MNEOHKVA | 1,080,838,665,000 | 1 | false |

2 | Makes no sense as a sequel | I loved the original Highlander movie and even the series with Adrian Paul that spun off from it. This was an interesting movie (ozone factor probably the best part) but it made absolutely no sense in the Highlander whole saga.

5 | Citizen Connor | Actor's actor Christopher Lambert (Lam-BERR) returns to the screen, reprising his role as Connor MacLeod in this glorious sequel to 1986's abysmal failure, Highlander. This film exceeds its predecessor in every conceivable way and I, personally, don't believe a better movie to have been made since.<br /> Highlander 2 does so much to fill in the plotholes found within the original film, primarily with regards to Immortals. For example, the theatrical release of the film tells the audience early on of a revolution on Planet Zeist, a distant desert world peopled entirely by immortals. Said rebels are banished to Earth by the wicked (in every sense) General Katana, where they are forced to fight each other to the death with swords until only one remains. Finally, a plausible explanation! Who could ask for more?<br /> Apparently the director could, because he re-cut and re-released the film as the "Renegade Version," thus doing the impossible: making the movie EVEN BETTER! Say `so long' to Planet Zeist (though I was sad to see it go), because Immortals are really from "A Very Long Time Ago!" The war took place on Earth, and all the immortals involved were banished to The Future! One film; two genius storylines.<br /> But it's not just in the past that the film excels - much of it takes place in the future. The year is 2024, and the planet has spent the past 25 years under a giant orange and red (and beautifully CG'ed) shield, erected by none other than Connor MacLeod to defend against the effects of the failing o-zone layer. This can't help but remind viewers of Orwell's 1984: a very likely vision of the future with too liberal of a timeline. The film is truly visionary in this regard.<br /> Don't think that the film's critical acclaim and widespread fanbase exist solely because of the plot, however; the actors may have a hand in that as well. Like I've stated, Christopher Lambert (recently seen in the outstanding futuristic adaptation of Beowulf) returns as cinematic icon Connor MacLeod, where he gives the performance of his career, especially as an aged Connor at the film's start, where he gets to ride a hoverboard. Lambert doesn't carry the entire weight of this movie on his shoulders, however. He is rejoined by Juan Sanchez Vila Lobos Ramirez, once again played by Sean Connery. Ramirez' entrance into the film is nothing short of a marvel of both writing and effects, and Connery's portrayal of Ramirez as a "fish out of water," a man outside of his own time, was remarkably believable. Even the sub-mediocre Michael Ironside managed an excellent performance as the sickeningly great General Katana. When you kill an entire train full of people by doing nothing more than driving it really fast, acting skills don't matter.<br /> To say that this film is a masterpiece would be an understatement. It truly deserves a place among Hollywood's Finest. If it's true that "there can be only one," Highlander 2. is it. Come to think of it, only one thing could have possibly made it better: Mario Van Peebles. | [] | B00005O5CV | B00005O5CV | AFGRXNIKA7AOZOAM47Z35MJWM5KA | 1,070,644,395,000 | 12 | false |
1 | Don't go by the Amazon.com review... | Despite the removal of the Planet Zeist crap, this movie is still not as good as the original Highlander. The worst episode ("The Zone") of the Series starring Adrian Paul was 5 times better than this movie.<br />Two points on the Amazon.com review:<br />1. "Theatrically released in 1991 as Highlander II: The Quickening, this sequel was later reedited and gained a small but loyal following..." No way, Jose. I saw some of the TV series before I saw the movies, and sadly HL2 (original version) was the first one I saw. The original HL is MUCH better! The Highlander fandom got it's following from either the first movie or the TV series.<br />2. Apparently, the Amazon reviewer didn't pay close enough attention to Connery's role: "Sean Connery also reprises his role from Highlander as the Scottish Immortal named Ramirez". Ramirez was NOT Scottish, Connery himself IS; as Ramirez states in the original movie: "I'm not Spanish, I'm Egyptian!"<br />If you MUST watch this movie, skip the original version all together and stick with this one. Chances are you won't be as confused. | [] | B00005O5CV | B00005O5CV | AF6D5MOAJLTJXCS6MVA3LKCN2T5Q | 1,070,324,212,000 | 0 | false |

1 | Abysmal. | The worst film ever? Very possibly. That is should come from the same director as its predecessor, Highlander, is all the more astonishing, since it bears almost no resemblance to the first. In terms of continuity, pacing, narrative structure, acting, editing, score/soundtrack - all the basics really - it falls far short of the (not very high) standards established just a few years earlier. The dialogue is simply pitiful: "Will I ever see you again?", the lead character intones as another character cheesily meets his end. Or, how about a reprise of the Death Star scene from Star Wars, in which two security guards stand at post, looking at everything but the masked armed figures slipping in and out of the shadows behing them: "What was that, I thought I heard something?" "Nah, I didn't hear anything." Were you watching, Mr Lucas?<br />Visually, its an extremely long Duran Duran "Wild Boys" video, a pretender to Mad Max - lots of improbable costume, shabby sets, street-side fires in oil drums, gratuitous pyrotechnics and comic-book theatrics from both major and minor characters (see Michael Ironside's incessant grinning and camp, manic laughter). The DVD itself was reasonably well packaged with a long explanation on high-quality stock by the director of how, with this release, his vision was finally made reality. This will make you laugh even harder when you watch the film, because it comes across as so sincere. Sound and picture quality are average and the extra features are at best pedestrian.<br />My copy seems to have a major problem with the photo archive section: once it is selected, instead of allowing me to navigate back and forth between images, it plays all of the images in a continuous stream very quickly, with no apparent way of stopping it - hitting 'pause' only reveals a very blurred image of one frame blended with the next. I have not encountered this fault on any DVD previously and I've watched dozens on my Sony machine which has proved to be reliable.<br />I appeal to all rational movie-goers and DVD-purchasers alike when I warn, unless you're absolutely desperate for something to watch, steer well clear of this colossal cinematic mishap.

3 | Violent comic-adaptation, but trashy and behind expectations | If you cross "Wolverine" of the "X-Men" with the looks of "Spawn", add some strange humor and lots of gore: You have "Faust"!!!<br />It's a fun to watch movie which fallows the rules of comic adaptations, but the violence of the comic hasn't been restricted as much as in (for example) the more or less "harmless" Spawn-feature. Although the movie is very violent, it's very tamed down compared with the "Faust" comics (in terms of gore and sex).<br />The main character is a bit week, but the bad guy is great. The budget wasn't too high - you see that espacially during the showdown-F/X.<br />All in all Brian Yuzna has done better, but as a friend of comic adaptations I can recommend this flick as good (but brainless) entertainment.<br />The US-DVD is cut and rated "R" - I own the "unrated" version (a Spanish DVD), which is a few minutes longer, but still not nearly as sexy and violent as the comic ... my review is about the uncut version. | [] | B00005LMAK | B00005LMAK | AGWIC2JK7IW3UE6DBSPU27VCRBLA | 1,015,926,052,000 | 1 | false |
2 | Not as bad as it's reputation | Okay, it's probably the worst "Highlander"-movie, but the good news is that the "renegade"-version is better than the "normal" one...still: As a sequel to the classic "Highlander" this picture fails (which is why part 3 and 4 simply don't mention this one anymore).<br />If you go for the strange story and atomosphere (which isn't bad), you will probably have fun watching Sean Connery, as well as Michael Ironside as the bad guy and some great set-designs, but far too less action (=swordfighting).<br />All in all "there should have been only one"! | [] | 0782008380 | 0782008380 | AGWIC2JK7IW3UE6DBSPU27VCRBLA | 1,008,589,317,000 | 0 | false |
4 | Great fun, great cast, great trash! | This movie is pure fun!<br />The characters are overdone in a trashy way, but the director has concepted the whole movie along this path.<br />Matt Dillon, Paul Reiser, John Goodman and Andrew Dice Clay are really good, but the true stars of this flick are Liv Tyler (talented, beautiful, and after "Lord of the Rings" hopefully in the "superstar"-status she deserves) and Michael Douglas (a great (bad hair day) cameo, where he seems to have dressed up as his dad (Kirk Douglas) - watch for the simularities!).<br />I can't understand why this movie didn't do better at the boxoffice, but now it's up to VHS and DVD to give it the attention it deserves! | [] | B00005NGAU | B00005NGAU | AGWIC2JK7IW3UE6DBSPU27VCRBLA | 1,008,588,839,000 | 4 | false |
2 | It could have been a great action movie, but... | Has Director Albert Pyun ever made a really good movie? Certainly "Ticker" ist one of his best, but it's far from a good movie. Okay, it's fun to watch this flick, but with a higher budget and a more talented director you could have made much, much more of it...<br />Tom Sizemore is a great actor with an ongoing career (Bringing out the Dead, Pearl Harbor ...) - what the hell let him play in this B-movie?! Dennis Hopper has played many flicks of this kind, so I wasn't surprised, but Steven Seagal fallows his comeback ("Exit Wounds") with this disapointment...<br />The editing is terrible (you can tell that the explosions were edited in from other movies / the gunfighting during the showdown is edited so badly that you can't tell what's really going on). And I must say: I've never seen a bomb being defused so ... as at the end of "Ticker"... a terrible, disapointing showdown!<br />As I mentioned at the beginning: I had fun watching this brainless picture, but if you think about and look at the quality of it, you have to shake your head... | [] | B00005QAP6 | B00005QAP6 | AGWIC2JK7IW3UE6DBSPU27VCRBLA | 1,002,138,700,000 | 15 | false |
5 | Great Movie | Everybody has been putting down Highlander 2- The Quickening, but this is Renegade Version, you have to remember that after H:2 was filmed, the director and producers didn't get final cut, and so it ended up not making any sense. All mistakes are erased in this new version, it makes sense in the world of Highlander, it is funny, there is plenty of action, great directing, an awesome soundtrack, and is worth buying in my opinion. | [] | 0782008380 | 0782008380 | AESJ6M4ZYDUORUAWD5L2XVEOKGWQ | 991,532,084,000 | 2 | false |
3 | Whoops... | This was one of the worst movies that I have ever seen. The plot is bad, it's like they made it up as they filmed. The audio quality, unlike in the first movie, is okay, though. Video quality is above average. Despite this, if you are a rue "Highlander" fan, get this. If you can't wait for next year, you can get it now at "[...] It costs less there, plus there's a lot of other offical Highlander stuff. | [] | 0782008380 | 0782008380 | AHZ4Z3IAGHDUVBUWK355EMWHILWQ | 977,089,544,000 | 2 | false |
2 | Renegade Version or Special Edition? | I just bought a copy of the Renegade Version, having what I thought was the original cut of the movie in this Special Edition. I come to find, they're the exact same movies. At least, in the length of the movie. The only visual exceptions to either version is the coloration of special effects in the time travel sequences (the renegade version is purple; the special edition is blue) and the color of the Shield (red in the Renegade; blue in the Special). If anyone thought the Renegade version would give you a completely different story than the original (what I mean by original is a version in the last few years) they're probably the same thing and don't bother buying both. I've never seen the 1990 original and I hope I never do if it truely is worse. I was hoping this Director's Cut was going to save the Highlander sequel, but you're better off just skipping the movie entirely and continuing the Highlander saga with Highlander 3: The Final Dimension (the story line of which follows more closely to the original premise). | [] | B00005O5CV | B00005O5CV | AEX2QTKK7OG6MVL43OQLDKHUVHOA | 1,191,527,755,000 | 1 | false |
5 | You should read the book, too | As usual, HollyWood spiced it for the screen, but the original book, and others about collies by Albert Payson Terhune, need no spicing. Lassie is still classic, but Lad is beleivable and more straightforward. Read the books that started the legend of Lad and you will be even more impressed. The dog's reaction to his mistress's (the master's wife) illness is truly a wonder in dog behavior. Also, if you are a dog lover and lover of dog stories, Jim Kjelgaard's Big Red, plus other stories about Irish Setters (Irish Red, Outlaw Red) are on a level with Lad. Maybe better. Read a Book! Then watch the movies. | [] | 6303369081 | 6303369081 | AHC5XFOM2D4CCCEF2EUTYUFSQXPA | 1,127,740,123,000 | 6 | false |
5 | Stereotype, Yes. Real Culture feelings, YES! | I know over the years that reviewers always tend to mock this movie and stating that the best part of the movie is the soundtrack. They are correct about a great soundtrack. But the reviewers usually miss one important message this movie portrays. That is the feeling one gets when heading out on a long ride with somebody you want to share the experiences with. If you haven't been on a motorcycle or taken a ride longer than the local pub, you still can't understand what I'm talking about. Leaving all that you know as your daily routine, your family, friends and the daily expectations of others. Then hitting the road with a very distant point as the target. The freedom of the road with all of it's experiences, good or bad, will change your life. It can give it meaning in a form that you could never find taking that minute by minute planned vacation. Watch this movie with the attitude of going along with it, experiencing it all for the first time just like Captain America and Billy do. | [] | B0002O7XWC | B0002O7XWC | AFCT4BP2AADKJN7PHXPJHXKPRK3A | 1,140,802,774,000 | 3 | false |
1 | highander 2 -the quickening- wish i'd never seen it | The worst movie I've ever seen. I am a huge Highlander fan, both the movie and tv series, and this almost killed it for me. It didn't follow the story line, it tried to fill in the holes and failed miserably. This movie should be removed from the trilogy, renamed with no mention of the word Highlander, and they should repackage the series as a two movie set.<br />On the movies defense, it would make an ok movie by itself. If as I said renamed with no mention of the word Highlander, and released as a separate movie. But other than that it is not worth watching and if someone would like to get into the Highlander clan then that person should skip this movie because it will offer them no useful information and only confuse them. | [] | 0782008380 | 0782008380 | AH3OZHOEQ5FSZ4GD5N75RBWEFHJQ | 976,147,166,000 | 2 | false |
