Pretty good movie, but was a little too much all over the place at times. But my biggest complaint BY FAR was casting Jessie Eisenberg as Lex Luthor. REALLY?!? That would be like Marvel casting Pee Wee Herman as Thanos. Even after they shaved his hair, which was not how it happened in the comics, he was still about as intimidating as Howie Mandel. And his portrayal as Lex was too Joker-like. His psychotic ramblings whether genius or not was odd and irritating. Luthor, in the comics at least, is not only a genius inventor and businessman, but he is also somewhat intellectual and extremely confident. DCU could have cast the equally nuts Jim Carrey in this and it MIGHT have been better.

I may quit watching this show even though it has been one of my favorite CW superhero shows. I was already getting sick of the flashbacks even though I know they serve more of a purpose by filling in holes to certain stories. But now they are doing flash-FORWARDS which serve no purpose other than to confuse viewers who are not GLUED to the screen every second. The only other possible purpose is to start promoting a NEW series based on one of the flashforward characters, which I don't think they are doing. Flashforwards are a gimmick that writers do when they start running out of ideas or they start getting lazy. So Arrow may be on my quit list soon.

For the professional critics or rank amateurs who want to criticize this movie for its harshness on race or whatever, let me share a word with you...CONTEXT. Things were different in that time period and if it "offends" you now according to your modern perspective... GET OVER IT! This is a classic western about a time period that WAS harsh and the harsh words and actions were INTENTIONAL to show realism. If that bothers you then don't watch it. Turn to the Teletubbies or whatever makes you feel good about your shallow existence and lack of perspective and context. It's a tough gritty movie about a tough gritty period of time in this country. Many of the things that happened back then are things about our country that we should NOT be proud of. But they happened. GET OVER IT! It's a great and classic western by one of the best actors of that time and for that genre and had one of the best producers of that time for that genre. Is it the best movie of all time? Probably not. It IS one of the best westerns of all time though and your backward criticisms of it won't change that.

Very hard movie to watch ( since it was based on real events ) knowing that my fellow man was and to some extent still is that full of hatred and ignorance.

There are many wonderful things about this movie, but the only thing I really hated was the writing that made it look like so many of the characters were untouchable or not susceptible to harm. I know it's a piece of fiction, but in practical, realistic terms, no one on the ship Adventure should have survived. Between the minor shipwreck to the several jungle treks, I was surprised when that evil POS Carl Denham said that only 17 men died from their "adventure". The most ridiculous and unrealistic scene ( Yeah, I know. "Suspend reality" and all that. ) was the stampede/chase scene where over a dozen men were running down a narrow corridor full of OVER a dozen Brontosaurus type creatures who were also running from half a dozen velociraptor type predators and SOMEHOW very few of them seemed to get trampled or eaten. But before that, there were several scenes of Kong running with Ann and SHOULD HAVE been crushed in his hand SEVERAL times. I could go on and on about the number of times and the numbers of creatures that should have killed the entire ships crew and passengers, but I won't. Overkill on the special effects, the number of death-defying creatures and small death toll. Incredibly UNREALISTIC if you believe in stupid little things like odds and science. The only other thing I hated in this movie was the Carl Denham character. He was pure evil and got all of those men killed including his own crew members and "friends" and even more in NYC. If I were NYC Police Commissioner, Denham would be in jail and on death row.

Why do the talking heads on this show think that THINKING people would rather listen to their biased views and NOT listen to a Black Democrat praise President Trump during the GOP convention? Did you interrupt important speeches by Democrats during their convention? What are you AFRAID OF PBS? I used to think that PBS was one of the more "fair and balanced" networks of the MSM, but after watching them CUT IN and CENSOR a Black Democrat speaking on BEHALF of President Trump, no more. Thanks for showing your true colors PBS.

This was not what many may refer to as a "chick flick", though there are many key roles played by women and girls. It is really more of a HUMAN flick that has many touching, funny and sad moments. It helps that I'm a big Eddie Murphy fan, but now I'm also a big fan of Britt Robertson. There will be moments that you may sob your eyes out if you are an empathy sponge like me. But you will be left feeling good about people, about humanity, about the importance of friendships and family relationships and good parenting. And you may even develop a love (or in my case a greater love) for jazz in the wonderful movie about the multi-talented and loving Mr. Church.

OBVIOUSLY, this B movie monster was a VERY close knock-off of the higher budgeted, the better acted, the better scripted, better everything Alien and Aliens that came out BEFORE this movie. But there's a little more T&A, and overall it's not too bad if you can stand the over-acting and the lame dialogue for 2 hours.

This is more a review of the pictures you have listed as the cast members of this movie. You have one of the actors listed as George Douglas but there is a picture of the MUCH YOUNGER Michael Douglas, son of Kirk Douglas and the husband of actress Katherine Zet-Jones. If you don't have a picture of GEORGE Douglas, that's fine. But don't lie to people with the photo of a totally different actor.

My review is NOT about Cool McCool, but WHY does this post credit SIMON COWELL as one of the "co-creators" of Cool McCool??? I believe he was WAY too young to be a producer of anything but parental angst.
