The Time Machine (2002)
Better than expected
I went in this movie with really low expectations, the reviews were terrible, and the full trailer made the special effects look really terrible, but when i saw the movie i found it really good, the special effects are top notch, probably the best i've seen in a while, the acting was solid, although i have complains, there is not enough screen time for Jeremy Irons, and also they could have done so much with this movie, but i won't go into detail to that because i might spill out spoilers. But this movie is definately worth that money, check it out. 7/10.
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
Overrated
This film was overrated the day it became no.1 on the top250 IMDB list. I guess out of the thousands of people registered here 96% were insame LOTR fans you probably without watching gave it a 10 just to see it get good ratings. As for others who say it's an ok movie, i praise you ,because there is nothing ground-breaking about this movie, some 1 dimensional characters, not an engaging plot, some special effects are flat-out cheese, some direction realllly realllly bad, and this get no.1 on this list?, i thought the best movie of all-time is supposed to be flawless with no and i mean no bad review on the site, LOTR has some, The Godfather has none. I think i am going way off-topic here but anyways LOTR gets 7/10 here, someone ought to lower it's rank here or people will seriously boycott this site, and i am not joking i have lost sooooooooooooo much respect for this top250 list i am about to throw up.
Jurassic Park III (2001)
Dinos look amazing, but too much of a been there done that feeling.
I admit that the dinosaurs looked cool. But does the dino franchise have to do the same thing over and over. Bunch of people came to rescue someone, instead they get stranded on the island. But i gladly say this was better than the second one. The Spinosaurus vs T-Rex fight is alone to pay for the movie. Lots of thrills, but the raptors looks horrible, make them look a bit realistic, where are these feathers coming from?. But this is better than some of the other summer offerings. There is no character development, but who cares, it's supposed to be a popcorn movie, if you decide to make a 4th one, make it something new, dinos try and invade Earth or something, don't create another island. The acting department is saved by Sam Neil and William H. Macy, although i think they both were wasted in this movie and Tea Leoni is horribly annoying, you find yourself rooting for the dinos to eat her. But if you just want to go see an action packed movie, filled with amazing dinosaurs check this one out. I give this movie 7/10.
Pearl Harbor (2001)
The Hype was it's Enemy. **may have some spoilers**
Pearl Harbor was superbly marketed, almost everyone knew about this movie, i went in the theatre, i was really excited, but when the movie started, 20 minutes into it i got bored, the romance should have been atleast serious, no spark between Kate Beckinsale and Ben Affleck, this looked like a slap-stick comedy. Cuba Gooding Jr. didn't even have a major role, i have no idea what he was doing there. The romance failed to topple over Enemy of the Gates romance, the battles failed to top over Saving Private Ryan. Micheal Bay is too paranoid, and during some romance scenes he just cuts into a war build-up. Acting is horrible. Could be the worst movie of the year. Doesn't even deserve a rating. But i don't know why i gave it 1/10. Recommended: Hell No.
Along Came a Spider (2001)
Not just another serial killer movie.
When i read reviews about this movie, i thought it would be horrible. This movie was surprisingly good. I would have liked it even better if the bad reviews weren't stuck in my head. This movie had everything a good movie should have. Morgan Freeman with his consistantly good acting, Monica Potter is a good actress but is highly forgettable, she needs to do some chick flicks before she comes out in serial killer movies. This movie had twists, YES and they are shocking!. Some plot holes are there but the suspense and hype the movie builds up is alone enough to pay for the movie. One of the finest movies of the year. 8/10.
Toy Story 2 (1999)
Overrated
When i saw this movie i was bored as hell, partly because i was forced to watch it. This movie is highly overrated. It's like a spoof to star wars but then spaceballs was better. The jokes are not that funny, and the story line is not that good either, even my 9 year old brother was bored, i am usually a fan of serious movies, but i often like movies like Chicken Run, now thats a movie. This movie was nothing much than a bunch of stolen ideas, with stupid unfunny characters which ruined it for me. Trust me this one is not worth it. 6/10 just because of Tom Hanks.
15 Minutes (2001)
Would be excellent if released at the right time
I heard this movie's script was written a long time ago, like in the 70's or 80s, but it wasn't produced. If it was produced back then, it would be relavent and excellent. But this doesn't mean you dont' watch the movie, this is the one for Deniro fans. Some parts from Taxi Driver when Deniro talks in the mirror are in this movie but this time he is practicing a proposal which shows his soft side which was good to watch for a change. Solid performances be everyone, stand-out performances, Deniro (do'h) and Kelsey Grammer as the sleazy tabloid tv show host. The bad guys did a pretty good job playing a psycho. Movie also has a surprising twist, which left me shocked. Good action scenes and overall a good movie. 8/10.
Goodfellas (1990)
Truly one of the best gangster films
This is a true masterpiece, storyline if brilliant and so is the acting, kickass story build-up and an amazing ending which will shock you, should have been called bad guys instead but what you gonna do , goodfellas sounds pretty cool too, de niro as usual a brilliant performance, and joe pesci is so funny, gets a bit annoying but that is just my opinion, if someone sees this movie and doesn't like it, there is something really wrong with you.
The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000)
3 words: Deniro was Drunk!!!
First of all, this movie was a complete waste of time. The cast acting was horrible, i only saw this movie because of Deniro and he let me down bad. After analyze this what was he thinking oh well. Meet the Parents covered it up for me. I give this movie about 5 stars just because of Deniro. Without him, 1 star and a complete waste of 75 million for a movie which is not even aimed for kids.
Snatch (2000)
One of the most unique movies of the year.
There should be more movies like these. When i saw this movie, i was forced to watch it again, not only because it was smart, funny in a dark way, but the acting by the cast was truly amazing. Boris the Blade is my favorite character in that movie, i saw him in MI:2, i didn't know he could act that well, he is a great actor, and his Alan Ford (Brick Top), he is one of the meanest SOB's i ever saw, his acting is oscar worthy, especially his face expressions.As for Brad Pitt, i didn't know he could work as a pikey, but he did a pretty good job, and Benicio Del Toro, i don't know why people said he was so good, i don't see anything special in his acting. Whoever chose this cast was indeed a genius. Guy Ritchie should be given a lot of credit for this movie, most people say it's like LS&2SB, trust me this is way better. Those of you people who haven't seen this movie, you don't now what you are missing.

Jaws (1975)
One of Spielberg's best
like i said, spielberg's best, amazing story line! cool acting, better then all those other jaws which ruined the impression, this shark is an absolute killing machine, it's HUGE, speilberg creating a feeling in our minds that it is there in the ocean watching you is fantastic, music is absoltely awesome, certainly one of the best parts of the movie giving it an oscar. This is a must-see movie , way better then those stupid knock offs like deep blue see and all those other jaws.
Half-Life (1998)
Game of Millennium
they should make a movie about this game and spend some money on the special affects..amazing story line, amazing weapons to use, and if u use the exact same maps as halflife game i bet all the people who like the game and also who like action movies will go watch it.
Armageddon (1998)
A cool movie, fun for everyone.
bruce willis as usual another big hit, good acting amazing special effects but some things in it are just not right, a space ship blowing up in space, give me a break..but who cares its a John bruckheimer movie. All his movies have amazing special effects with good plots. I don't like the actress in this one, should have been someone better, she doesn't know how to act. Overall best movie of 98.
Gladiator (2000)
Gladiator Rules!!!!!!!!
All hail the emperor it's the return of the roman epic..the scenes have tremendous action making it one of the best war epics of all time moving up with braveheart. This movie is a must see for people who don't like epics..they are sure to change your mind..russel crowe is cool in this movie and the fighting scenes are accelerated by camera giving them brilliant effects. This movie better win the Oscars!!.
Taxi Driver (1976)
one of De Niro's best
well this movie is no.1 on my top 10 movies of all time list, and no doubt anyone who has seen this movie never and i mean NEVER said that it was bad, i would say fight club is a remake of this movie, except in this the guy is in the cab, just because of this movie robert de niro is on my list at no.1 with all his other cool gangster type movies.
Meet the Parents (2000)
A delightful movie filled with killer jokes that will leave you with giggles after the movie.
robert de niro and ben stiller are cool in this movie, the jokes really work and the movie was funny throughout. This movie makes it to my top 10 comedy list at no. 5, i mainly liked it because of robert de niro.
Jurassic Park (1993)
it's a classic, you can't make better masterpieces then this.
seriously this is a spielberg masterpiece no doubt, with brilliant special effects that will blow your mind, excellent thrilling scenes will keep you talking hours after the movie, this is gonna be one of the best movies of all time for generations to come.
Fight Club (1999)
I dont' care what u say this is the best movie of all time!!!!
this is a movie for people who love fighting and gangster type movies...it is such a good movie that i can't even explain it in words! brad pit and ed norton are cool in it...and it has some twisted parts, and the ending is awesome, in the beginning 10 or 20 minutes u will think that it is a boring movie...believe me u'll love it in the end.
