This movie sucked, why the hell does it have 8 stars?


Seriously, I turned this crap off within 40 minutes. How the hell could anyone finish this movie?

I would suggest you were watching this for the first time some 40-odd years too late. In it's day it was amazingly violent and impressive - an exceptionally memorable film.

The OP is trolling. I should know. Anyway, I give it 9 stars. Then again, I saw it on opening day during the Summer of Love, when I was elebanon years old, so there is the nostalgic element there. It was the most wonderful, violent thing I had ever seen, next to the Roadrunner/Wile E. Coyote. I'd like to thank Mom for taking me.

If you put me on ignore, then how can I notify you when I win the lottery?

Different strokes for different folks. You ought'a watch some Bergman. This movie and Larry Flynt of Hustler fame helped drive a stake through the heart of the Hays Production Code that had to approve movie content. This office was later taken over by Joseph Breen, a wild-eyed Irish-Catholic fanatic for whom the Legion of Decency, a list of things Catholics were barred from watching or reading, was just a starting point to defining movie content. Then again, it's better than the Inquisition I 'spose. For the next 35 or so years, in American movies married couples couldn't be seen in bed together and if shown on a bed had to have one foot on the floor. That's why fighting men in military movies said things like "gee", "shucks", etc.

Let me guess, your idea of a really great movie would be either Rocky V or Halloween VIII?

Well I tend to agree with hundreds of movie critics and the millions of the public who have said it is a classic. Who am I to argue.
