For those taking user comments seriously
Said an imdb user about Nightmare on Elm Street:
A novel (original is far too good a word) idea that could have made a very good, spooky, mysterious film has instead made a very average, run of the mill horror. "A Nightmare on Elm Street" is a real been their before excursion from writer-director Wes Craven.
The cast including Heather Langenkamp and Robert Englund cannot help the cause. Truth be known, all the performances in this "Nightmare" are hopeless and Craven cannot even manage a single scare with this lame effort. The only horror achieved is horrific predictability. How on earth did this nonsense become a cult classic?
About the Lost Boys:
This movie has received praise and criticism over the years that is undeserving, in my opinion. It's just a bad movie. There is very little camp value, and it's a stain on Keifer Sutherland's career. The cinematography is dark, and this is probably how it's meant. But that doesn't justify not being able to see some scenes without adjusting the TV. It's not scary, the ending is anti-climactic (55 gallons of blood per minute doesn't justify it), and it's just lazy. Long story short, this is not great. It's gotten way too much attention for a sub-par vampire flick... then again, at least it's not "Queen of the Damned" (now THAT sucked).
About the Godfather:
When so many people say 'The Godfather is the greatest movie of all time' it's hard to not be expecting something fantastic. When i bought this movie, i was prepared for something special. To my utter dismay, I found 'The Godfather' to be quite boring, and extremely slow. Here i am, expecting a masterpiece, and I see something different to so many people.
So who cares? It's all just opinion(and as you can see from the "opinions" above, there are some very stupid people on imdb), and I think it's easy to see what is a personal crusade against the makers, and what is really honest opinion of the flick.
(And for the record I have not seen this one yet, but I enjoyed the first one)
