Masters of the Universe woulda been better if it was all on eternia..the Earth plot smacked of "we got a low budget" mind you its golan and globus, but..what i find funny is that the Scorceress went on to play Monicas mum in friends, and Teela was nearly cast as janeway in Voyager which DID star Tom Paris (who plays Coxs boyfriens in the movie ) and Blade goes on to be the main Kazon bad guy in Voyager Canon spent so much time and energy on the "Masters of the Universe" movie, that they didn't have a whole lot of money or resources left when it came time to do "Superman IV: The Quest for Peace".  |

Batman is supposed to be dark, macabre, and sinister, though. Besides, Danny DeVito was awesome as the Penguin. True, but personally, Tim Burton took all of the elements that made the first movie work, and pushed it way over the edge. The first movie was better because Burton showed or had some restraint placed on him. compared to Batman Returns, the first movie was weak, and its even lamer now thanks to Heath Ledger's Joker |

I love that Monologue (Note to Fox - Dr Doom NEEDS to be like this in future movies) I agree 7000%!! In fact, I thought the movie had liberally borrowed from Marvel's Secret Wars Dr. Doom speaches for this stuff with Skeletor. While the movie was so-so, IMO, Skeletor was totally awesome. |

Would a tamer incarnation of the Penguin have bitten that guy's nose off? |

I liked the Spirit. Why do people keep bashing that movie? I have no problems with that movie. Now Napolean Dynamite. THATS a bad movie.

Batman Forever was worse than Batman and Robin in my opinion. In fact most of those flicks on the list, while not necessarily as horrible as they're made out to be, are generally justifiably derided for one reason or another.

I consider it the rebirth of old Batman. This one brought back the old, darker Batman. Heath Ledger was playing a more psychotic Joker whereas Jack Nicholson was going for the gangster type Joker which I kinda liked. If not for that movie I really don't think The Dark Knight is ever made and we get stuck with Adam West's Batman and Caesar Romero's Joker |

So, for sake of time, lets just focus on just one. Morgan Stern or whatever the hell her name was. She was hot, but her acting delivery makes doves cry. ND is awful to. |

I love that Monologue (Note to Fox - Dr Doom NEEDS to be like this in future movies) You know what would rule on so many levels? Frank Langella wins the oscar this year for Frost/Nixon and in his acceptance speech says "You know at the end of Masters of the Universe I said that I'd be back"..... "Well, I'm back!" |
