6.5? Wow, americans are really stupid....


This australian movie is better than all americans adventure comedies combined together. I guess the majority who have given this movie such a low score, are religious, brainwashed americans who can't appreciate Movies from another country.

I haven't watched many adventure comedies but so what if it's better? Doesn't mean this one is great. I'm not religious, brainwashed, and I love movies from other countries but I still think Dundee was a very forgettable movie. The character wasn't that great and could have been played by most anyone with an Australian accent. Hogan gave the character no more charm than anyone else could have.

Seriously, what's so good about this movie? I can understand someone being nostalgic about it but aside from that there's not much that sticks out in this movie. Saying this is a good movie is like me saying Beethoven is a good movie. They may be worth a watch but in NO way worthy of good scores.

So instead of irrationally bashing people who don't like this movie give us some reasons why it's worthy of a higher score.

It is still the most financially successful independent film ever.Hogan must have done something right.

Perhaps it was just not your kind of film.

reply

It deserves at least 7.0

reply

Well, first off, this isnt technically an independent film. ($8.8 million budget raised by shareholders, and then distributed by Paramount and 20th Century Fox)

Second, even if it was, it wouldn't be the most successful "ever". It wouldn't even make the top 50.

It IS, more specifically, the most successful "Australian feature" off all time. Just to clear things up.

reply

The highest score is from 45+ years at 6.8. You have to be over 40 to have seen it in theatres.

I suspect it is leftists voting low, look what they think of Duck Dynasty (which is more authentic). Marxists can't appreciate reality where blacks and whites get along. Why would anyone call it racist?

reply

Wow! What does religion have to do with liking or disliking this movie? Absolutely nothing. I'm an American and I'm Christian and I really like this movie (and the second film). You come across as an ignorant and immature person looking for any reason to bash religion.

yup we do have a lot of idiots in this country I grant you that,, my rating is round and 8 or so.. I loved the movie.
are you going to bark all day little doggie,, or are you going to bite

To sum up : "I like this movie, therefore anyone who doesn't like it is stupid, religious and brainwashed. . . Oh, and they're American too."

I like your logic.

But seriously - Crocodile Dundee is no Citizen Kane, it's an OK, fairly funny movie that plays on a central "fish out of water" theme. The characters in it are all stereotypes, the dialogue is pretty simple and the plot is unlikely to say the least. I've seen it maybe a dozen times (my wife loves it) but I'd be hard pushed to give it more than a 6 or 7, evidently, judging by its score, I'm not the only person that thinks this.

Or maybe you're a troll.

"I guess"

There's your problem.

reply

I agree, this should be at least an 8/10. I gave it a 10 just to do my bit for this injustice!

reply

So, because 70,000 people collectively gave it a 6.whatever rating, that automatically makes a nation of a few hundred million people "stupid'? And since when did opinions make someone stupid?

Guess we all know who the stupid bigot here is. I suggest learning common sense and educating yourself before you come to the internet, unless you want people knowing how low in the gene pool you stand.
