Free Willy (1993)
Should have been titled something different
I was in high school when this came out and remember the little bit of notoriety this got but didn't really care to see it. After seeing it 30 years later it was an ok movie but the free Willy part didn't come until there were only about 30 minutes left. This is an almost 2 hour movie. Considering most of the movie dealt with the relationship between the boy and whale a better title was warranted. I know I know, the "Free Willy" title is supposed to grab you and reel you in. That said the free Willy part of the movie was actually pretty good drama/action. This movie would win an Oscar now because of the title and ending.
Knight Rider 2000 (1991)
No car action and premise issues
While I didn't totally hate it having only about 5 minutes of K. I. T. T action makes the movie pointless. The series was all about the car and the "one man". The premise that this city banned guns is ridiculous. No explanation on how that came about. Even "a city of tomorrow" inside the USA would still be subject to the "the law of the land" and like it or not the 2nd Amendment would get in the way. So we are left to assume that the 2nd Amendment was repealed or this city unilaterally banned them and thus this movie shows (unintentionally I'm sure) that criminals will get them anyway. Also, apparently when you become employed with the city, or maybe it's just the police, you grant the city the right to make life and death decisions for you. What? In a dystopian movie that might make since. No part of the movie alludes to anything dystopian.
