I really enjoyed this movie. The casting, the direction, as well as the story were absolutely perfect. This movie is already one of my favourites. I can't wait for the DVD to be released to buy it. Besides Drew Barrymore is my favourite actress (ever) and Cameron Diaz is one of my favourites too. Luci Liu is quite new to me cut she wasn't bad at all. Never mind...this movie is really good because not only is it a great adventure but is also a colourful movie full of humour. I'm excited I learned that there is going to be a sequel. Is it going to be a trilogy, who knows? (it might be tetralogy, pentalogy or dekalogy as 007 movies...I hope so)...10/10

Well, the fact is that when the tanks went to set Italy free most of them were Russians, but unfortunately Russia do not give any awards... This movie is great, I'm not sarcastic in this part, it is really touchy and full of (Roberto's special) humour. It's pity that the history is a bit changed but... that's the way it is...9/10

This movie is really bad. It shouldn't have been released ever! Avoid this movie. Make sure you don't waste your time and your money. I was so disappointed by the casting cause they are popular and I think that they are good in acting too. Especially Geoffrey Rush! I was astonished! How did he accept to take part in this??? 2/10 *I didn't put 1 because of the acting...but NEVER watch this movie!!!!!

PS I don't know how it lasts cause I couldn't watch the whole movie, I was SO bored!

PS2 The scene after the opening scene in the Horror Fun Fair is kind of funny but what has this scene to do with the whole movie anyway?

It is, definitely, better than the first one as well as more interesting. The story is original and has an ideal sequence, honestly, never met before. It has absolutely nothing to do with the first one. It has a new whole plot which would be even better if it was "PART 1". See it in a good cinema. This movie is awesome. 9/10

That was a very good movie. It was exciting and colourful too. That's a must for sci-fi fans. It's not just a silly script made for children, it's more than this. I compare it to Matrix (even though you won't be able to find many common parts, but both are sci-fi and good ones too). So, if you are a sci-fi fan. If you used to like the X-Men comics or animated series, if you liked Star Wars, if you liked Alien series, this movie will be your next favourite sci-fi movie. 8/10 (-2 because of the genre-not a sci-fi movie is worth for over than 8-there are few exceptions as Alien-, so take this as a 10)

That's a very silly comedy. I didn't laugh at once cause the only funny scenes were the trailer' s scenes and the rest was full of American jokes that would never make me laugh. The story sucks -even though there is no a story- and I think that that's a movie for persons with no intelligence or that's what the director had in mind while making it. If you want to see a really smart comedy check "Shooting fish" and omit such movies. And for those who might think that I didn't understand the movie cause I hadn't seen the movies it was running down-you're wrong I have seen all the movies it was running down except "Usual Suspects". Besides Scream, I know and the Sixth sense are three of my favourite movies. My advice: If you like American humour this movie will be your favourite but if you don't then you'll be completely disappointed. 2/10

When I went to watch this movie I wasn't expecting a lot of things.I've heard that it was nothing worth it. The main idea was very good even though it wasn't a very original one. The first part was expectable and the second part (the final fight) was too common. As I said before the main idea was good but Paul Verhoeven should grab the chance and make an original movie as he used to. It wasn't a very violent a movie (that's original for the director) and seemed like he stopped running down the American culture. There are also these *American jokes* included. If I wouldn't know who directed it I'd never find out. I don't really care about his new attitude cause he never was one of my favourites. The casting was good enough and that's what saves the whole movie. It's a good way to spend 2 hours if you haven't something else in mind.-7/10

I had heard bad comments about this movie but I changed my mind when I saw it. It wasn't bad at all. I thought it would be boring and that there wouldn't be any action till the last 20-30 minutes, but I was wrong. The real action starts about an hour before the movie ends. Acting was good. Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio was really good. Anyway, it was a good movie and kind of original. 8/10

I really like this movie. It is a very clever movie and has a great sense of humour. I can't compare it to any American comedy. This kind of humour is completely different. This movie is for those who want to use their brain while watching and not only laugh. I really like European cinema and this movie as well as Run Lola Run prove that European cinema can go on. 10/10

There are three stories, the first one is the best for me. A young woman goes to work to a gas station and it is her first day at work. In that area some murders had happened and the serial killer is about to kill her. You are supposed to try to find out who the killer is. It wasn't the scariest of the three stories but the climate was absolutely scary. You can also see Wes Craven as a customer (I was surprised). The second story is silly. Acting is good but the story sucks. Aliens enter a man's body after he tried a therapy to have hair. I would recommend you Fast Forward this part. The third part is the goriest and the scariest but it is not as good as the first one. I'd say it was even scarier than "Nightmare on Elm street" as well as gorier but it wasn't "dark" as the first one. The parts with the mad doctor suck but they're no longer than 10 minutes. John Carpender has done a good job (except the second part). 7/10

I chose to watch this one by chance cause I wanted to watch a horror movie. When I saw that Steve Miner had directed it I thought it would be a great movie cause I had seen Friday the 13th part 2 and Halloween H20 and I liked them a lot. This movie was a disappointment. Very few scary scenes, very few funny scenes, very few gory scenes, many silly scenes and lots of boring scenes (especially Vietnam scenes). The 20 first minutes are very boring and the last scene sucks. It finishes as it was a drama or something. The acting saves it a little but not that much! If you want to watch a really scary movie check Nightmare on Elm street (it's a little bit similar to this one). This is not a good movie. 3/10

I compare it to Scream, it was actually even better. The plot is completely different. It's not about a serial killer the killer is supposed to be death. That sounds a little bit silly but it's not. The whole story is about accidents, an accident in which some persons had to die and they didn't. But "you can't cheat death"!. The first scene is completely exciting and the last is surprising (as in every new horror movie). There were plenty of laughs and chills. I don't want to describe any of the scenes, just go on and watch this movie, It is action, it is thriller, and most of all, it is horror. It rocks! 10/10

I went to the video store today and I was about to rent Universal soldier 2 on DVD but it was already rented by someone else (there was only one copy) so I couldn't leave without renting something. The first movie I saw in front of me was this one and I decided to watch it. Before I watch it I saw some comments and the rating and I was disappointed. The movie started as silly as all the other sequels of the series but not as bad as part 5 for example. But when they got to Manhattan the movie became pretty cool and it was a surprise to me cause I didn't expect it. The scenes underground and at the subway were scary and original in some way. Well, there were some bad things about it too: the nightmares (or whatever it was) the heroine had about Jason when he was a kid and the scene in which Jason becomes child again. Jason' s face also sucks and the special effects are not good. It wasn't too gory (as the other parts) but some gore does exist of course. After all it wasn't a very bad movie, characters were interesting and deaths weren't disgusting and silly as they used to be. I can't compare it to Halloween or Scream of course but I don't think that this movie sucks. 6/10

I laughed a lot with this movie from the very first scene till the end. That was the only reason I watched it all (and the money I should pay for it). I can't believe there are persons who liked this awful movie. I watched it when I was 13 and I found it silly. I don't want to know what my opinion would be if I'd watch it now. This movie sucks! It is not scary (at all!) the direction is completely awful and the casting is even worse. Every time I'm on a bad mood I think of this movie and I start laughing.

Here's the main plot: An elevator has problems with its microchips and starts killing people. A man will try to find out what causes this problem and we are supposed to get scared. 1/10.

Before I watch it I was listening to the comments of this movie: Very scary, very original, surprising ending etc. This movie is absolutely perfect. It was gory in some parts (when the kid with the gun turns over and we see his skinless head with blood) but this movie manages to scare you because of its plot. I thought that this movie would just be another common thriller but I was wrong. It was "horror" and it was brilliant. It was a non Scream-type horror movie (fortunately)and a very interesting one. The best ending I've ever seen! 10/10

This is not a movie for Julia Roberts. She is one of my favorite actresses and she shines always (wherever she's in). I, just, think she should play in better roles. This movie doesn't suck but it is nothing special (at all). This one and "Runaway Bride" are the worst movies of her. As I said before they're not awful but Julia Roberts deserves more than this. The best movies of her are: "Pretty woman" (of course), "Nothing Hill" and "Erin Brockovich". I'm looking forward for more of her brilliant movies. 4/10

This was not a very bad movie. It would be an original idea if it wouldn't try to copy "Scream" and "I know what you did last summer". It took the main idea (urban legends-the man with the hook) from "I Know" and the direction and the script reminded us of Scream. Not very scary neither gory but mysterious. You will never find out who the killer is till the end. You will get surprised but it won't be a "good" surprise. Silly end (the director wanted us to understand that is going to be a sequel, but as I see the sequel has nothing to do with this movie, actually that's good because we will see a new idea based on urban legends. After all it might be as the movie I had thought of before I watch it. I got bored of Scream-type horror movies. I want something new and original with teens) 6/10

This is a perfect movie made from my favorite director - James Cameron. I think this movie is even better than T2. It is scary, it is adventurous, very well done and original. OK, T2 had more and better special effects but it was only action, not so scary. In this movie I think the best scene is the final scene when they get in this factory (or whatever it is) and Terminator's after them. If you haven't watched it, do it immediately. Every movie made by James Cameron is top. 10/10

When I watched this film I knew almost nothing about the original Alien series. I just had heard about them and, so I thought this would be the original' s movie sequel. The Greek title confused me a little bit ("A monster on earth"). When I found out that this was not the movie I expected to be I became furious. You can understand only from the last scene how silly this movie was (I decided to watch it all because I should pay for it). The heroine found out that she was alone in the city and then a title came out saying: YOU COULD BE THE NEXT!(No other comments for that) I can't advice you to watch it because I'm not sure if your local video store would have it (it is a very popular movie, you see) but I would recommend this movie to anyone loves gore (Too gory with very silly special effects)

Here's the main plot: The heroine (I can't remember her name) discovers caves and has terrible headaches because of the alien's arrival on earth. Anyway, they (there were some others too) decide to go to a cave to find out that they were carrying an alien rock with them witch turns them to disgusting monsters/aliens which are after the rest of them (or something like that). Funny for children but too gory. 2/10

This movie is perfect. It is mysterious, dark, scary and most of all enjoyable. The script is very original. The direction and the acting are good enough. Perfect special effects for 1979. The worst thing the sequels made was that they made us know who the survivor would be, otherwise you wouldn't be able to imagine it. Another reason that makes this movie perfect is the fact that it reminds me of the place and of the period I first watched it. I was 13 then and I was in Lesvos (a Greek island). Since then, every time I go there I watch all of the Alien series. Madness! :-)

It's been a long time since I watched this movie and I can't remember many details about it but I can remember the main plot. It is not very scary, at least not as the first one and there are no interesting characters. It is based on the original story but it doesn't manage to reach it. I got a little bit bored till the end but -never mind- it wasn't as bad as part 2. Of course, I won't watch it again. Watch it only for two reasons: 1) If you have decided to watch all of the series and 2) If you are a huge fan of Robert Englund (as Freddy) (I, personally, am not) 4/10

P.S. Some special effects were completely awful and silly.

When I first saw this movie I didn't like it. I thought it was boring and didn't like the effects too. I had already seen Alien Resurrection and Alien but I hadn't seen Aliens so I didn't understand it well. When I first saw Aliens I was excited. But, then, I was three years younger. A week ago I watched four of them, again, and I found Alien 3 interesting. It was dark and mysterious. I changed my mind for Aliens. It wasn't mysterious at all, I didn't scare, it was actually like an action movie. It reminded me of Terminator. Everybody had a gun and was killing aliens. Anyway, Alien 3 reminded me of Alien. First of all, because there was only one and they couldn't kill it. I can't say I didn't like the end I just think it could be better. 8/10.

Ten reasons that make this movie the worst movie ever made. EVER!:

1) It is supposed to be a horror movie but you don't scare AT ALL

2) It changes badly the original story

3) It shows much gore without any reason

4) Freddy Krueger doesn't have a glove / blades (the blades come out -automatically- of his fingers) , neither a hat

5) The story has almost nothing to do with nightmares

6) The end of this sequel is much sillier than the ending of the first movie

7) The direction is REALLY bad

8) The characters aren't the original ones

9) Why does Freddy want to kill those children? (No reason)

10) When I watched it with my brother we hoped that it would give us some answers about the end of the 1st "Nightmare". It actually created more questions.

(I could continue giving much more reasons)

I put 1/10 My advice: DON'T WATCH IT!!!

The sequel of the legendary Tomb Raider has much more to offer than its ancestor. Lets begin with Lara Croft - our heroine. She has a better body and face, smoother movement and more moves. Her little bag now contains more and better weapons such as grenade launcher and the ultimate Uzi's and M16. But it doesn't stop here. The enemies have a better IQ which can cause you really many troubles. The graphics are corrected but they still have some minor problems. Now the script...the whole case is to find a stiletto with magic powers that was once in a dragons body. Trying to find it you will travel to the Great Wall, to Venice and other great places. If you haven't played it yet, the first video-game you should buy is Tomb Raider 2!I put 8 out of 10.

I've just watched this movie and I found it very good. I decided to watch it because of Drew Barrymore - she is my favorite - but even though she didn't have a very big part I enjoyed this movie a lot. This movie is about a woman who wants the boyfriend of her "friend" and she does everything to take him from her. It is separated in three parts. In the first part it shows the whole story briefly. It stops in the most agonized scene. In the second part the story starts again, almost, from the beginning and shows more information about how and why and stops in the same scene and in the third and final part - which is colorless - it finishes and you finally understand what' s all this about... I put 9 out of 10
