sound effects was really good. Cohen can't compete with Bay when it comes to action. Seeing the planes in the first 10 minutes was cool. Then it gets really old and too predictable. I had the same feeling watching XXX, I just wanted the movie to end. At least with Bay, you can always count on something cool.

I saw this today. Surprisingly entertaining movie. Considering all the sh*t being said about it. Yes this movie is dumb but it is a fun dumb popcorn movie. The subplots at the end are stupid and the film should have kept with the original plot but still this movie was hell of a lot more entertaining then the second half of war of the worlds. Fun movie and chance to see some cool arial scenes but digresses at the end but is still entertaining. A lot better then what people have said. and this is coming from someone who finds comic jamie foxx extremely annoying. Jessica Biel is very hot but a little too muscular looking. Josh Lucas is pretty good. Top Gun meets the terminator meets about 10 other movies.

Looks like a typical Rob Cohen suckfest. Which actors are they bringing back for 2 Stealth 2 Furious?

Hey, if Uwe Boll wants to compare himself to Sergio Leone, then Cohen has every right to be so delusional to think he's Hitchcock. Hell, Michael Bay's girlfriend said he was the second coming of Spielberg.

What are you talking about? Asside from Jessica Simpson, Dukes Of Hazzard looks great.

That has been/can be debated.

In reply to the title of this thread:

No, this movie doesn't have a single thought in its extremely dumb head.

I might be wrong here, so don't pounce on me...but he might have been...eep....expressing his opinion? I hate to accuse him of such a thing, but I just had to do it.

And I happen to agree. Dukes of Hazard looks like a waste of celluloid, in my opinion. But that's for another thread, so...bye!

From the looks of the movie, it's quite possible you may have been asleep.

Guess that explains the Access Hollywood ass-kissing "the first half is better than the second half" comment on yesterday's show.

Hey, you make it seems as if I was calling him an idiot. I just think Dukes of Hazzard looks like fun (unlike the feeling I got from the ads for Stealth). Then again, I did like Super Troopers so take that with a grain of salt.

Well, I can usually enjoy a big dumb popcorn flick as much as the next guy, but this movie was awful. The F/X looked like Microsoft Flight Simulator, the use of music was just painful and the acting was wooden all around. That of course, is not even mentioning the script, which I am surprised attracted anyone to be a part of this movie. Easily one of the worst movies of the year and could easily be one of the worst movies I've ever seen (and I see A LOT of movies...as anyone can check out in the rank them as you see them thread).

"There are two of us. And that is a prime number. And prime numbers are lucky. So that makes us lucky." - The dumb pilot guy to Jessica Biel.

What the fuck does that even mean??

The movie blew. Jessica Biel provided a lot of masterbatory content though.

And I thought for sure at the beginning in small print under the word STEALTH it said brought to you by Incubus and the new Pontiac GTO.

And Stealth and The Island looked good too. Could Dukes be the
3rd Big Bomb of the Summer? One can only hope.

Considering the film costs less then half what those films did, and will probably open stronger then either Stealth or The Island no, I don't think that'll be the case. I think Hazards even has the potential to be a breakout hit and make close to 100 million. Who knows. But considering its much lower costs, it has basically no chance to be the mega turkeys those two films are.

"This movie hated me from the opening scene; two hours later, the feeling was more than mutual."
-- Scott Weinberg, EFILMCRITIC.COM

"When your movie is about a magical talking airplane, and yet the magical talking airplane is not the silliest thing about the movie, then you should not make any more movies."
-- Eric D. Snider, ERICDSNIDER.COM

"You know the old joke about military intelligence being an oxymoron? Stealth proves it."
-- Chris Hewitt (St. Paul), ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS

"Stealth is a dreadful, forgettable, abusive motion picture, and it makes the January stinker Alone in the Dark look Kubrickian in comparison."
-- Brian Orndorf, EFILMCRITIC.COM

"Stealth should live up to its name by flying into and out of theaters without anyone knowing it was even there."
-- Danny Minton, BEAUMONT JOURNAL

"After 110 minutes of this, atheists will storm monasteries and acrophobics will scale redwood trees, anything to find an oasis of calm."
-- Jan Stuart, NEWSDAY

"Stealth is so over-painted with CGI that it doesn't look as real as the sequence starring Shepard that inspired it in The Right Stuff, a movie made with model airplanes."
-- Kyle Smith, NEW YORK POST

"... Watching this movie becomes physically painful."
-- Greg Maki, STAR-DEMOCRAT (EASTON, MD)

"[Stealth] is the filmic embodiment of all that is indulgent, gratuitous and downright dumb in pop culture."
-- Tom Long, DETROIT NEWS

"Stealth succeeds in satisfying a dozen different pubescent fantasies while simultaneously violating every aspect of logic and good taste."
-- Peter Debruge, MIAMI HERALD

"I know I'm your agent, babe, but I gotta come clean with you — maybe picking Stealth as your first movie after Ray wasn't a very good idea."
-- Jeffrey Bruner, DES MOINES REGISTER

"A phallic masterpiece. My testosterone level went up 10%. "
-- Victoria Alexander, FILMSINREVIEW.COM

"Rob Cohen Has Officially Killed More Brain Cells Than Drugs & Alcohol"
-- Erik Childress, EFILMCRITIC.COM

"Stealth is nothing but a big, dumb summer action flick - with a strong emphasis on “dumb.”"
-- Kevin Carr, 7M PICTURES

"Almost apocalyptic in its stupidity"
-- Chris Barsanti, FILMCRITIC.COM

"Stealth is a offense against taste, intelligence and the noise pollution code -- a dumbed-down Top Gun crossed with the HAL 9000 plot from 2001."
-- Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

Uh, better check those DUKES numbers again.

They just added 17 mil to the budget recently to make sure they could even release the film.
