X-Men: The Last Stand is the third installment in the popular superhero franchise, and it's an exciting one with a splash of fresh new characters. When a scientist named Warren Worthington II announces a "cure" for mutant powers, it raises an interesting philosophical question: is mutant power a disease that needs a cure, or is it a benefit that homo superior enjoys over "normal" human beings? No surprise that Magneto (Ian McKellen) and his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants resist the idea that they need to be cured, and declare war on the human race. But it's a little tougher for the X-Men, led by Professor X (Patrick Stewart), Cyclops (James Marsden), and Storm (Halle Berry). If you're Rogue (Anna Paquin), for example, your power means you can't even touch your boyfriend, Iceman (Shawn Ashmore). To compound matters, someone previously thought dead has returned, and might be either friend or foe.
With director Bryan Singer having moved on to Superman Returns, the franchise passes to the hands of Brett Ratner (Rush Hour), whose best work is done in the big action sequences such as a showdown between mutant armies. But it's difficult to manage the sheer volume of characters when adding longtime comic-book stalwarts such as Beast (Kelsey Grammer) and Angel (Ben Foster), and one character in particular deserved better than an off-screen dismissal. And fans of the original Dark Phoenix comic book story might be underwhelmed by the movie's resolution. X-Men: The Last Stand is presumably the last film in the series, but the ambiguous ending leaves possibilities open. Look for the two writers most responsible for making the X-Men who they were, Stan Lee and Chris Claremont, in early cameos. --David Horiuchi

Customer Reviews:
Good special effects, terrible script.......2007-07-06
The government develops a cure for the mutant gene, which divides the mutant community with Professor X (Patrick Stewart) on one side and Magneto (Ian McKellan) on the other, each backed by their respective armies. What's good about it? There are tons of mutants expertly realized through spectacular special effects. It's great fun to see Beast (Kelsey Grammer), Colossus (Daniel Cudmore), Juggernaut (Vinnie Jones), and others in action. What's bad about it? There are tons of mutants, which means that none of the characters are well-developed. The script is a complete mess, killing off important, classic, well-established characters in off-handed ways as if they were red-shirted security men on "Star Trek." So it's fun to watch, but a deeply disappointing finale to an otherwise good series.
I want more Xmen!!.......2007-07-04
Great movie I hope they make more Xmen movies was a tease at the end you need to make sure to see.
X Men The Last Stand.......2007-06-27
This copy did not have all the extras associated with a DVD. The movie was good but I missed all the extra screens and stuff.
Whose fault is it anyway?.......2007-06-18
I've watched this movie a couple of times now, and I still can't decide if I like it or not. Some complain about Halle Berry's increased role in the film. I don't understand how she couldn't have a bigger part, since Cyclops and Professor X die and Jean is a zombie most of the time. That only leaves Wolverine and Storm as the remaining members of the team!
My question has to do with the script. Which came first, the poor script or folks jumping ship, or did a bad script get even worse when key players bolted?
Marsden and Singer ran off to do Superman. Superman was good, but it wasn't great. Since the story is about Dark Phoenix, it would seem that Marsden would have had a bigger role as Cyclops in X-Men than as Lois Lane's fiance. And Singer had done the two previous very successful X-Men movies. Why would he think doing Superman would be better than XMIII? It sounds like both men knew a bad thing when they saw it and ran away as fast as they could.
And what about Patrick Stewart? Did the original story called for Xavier's death, or did Mr. Stewart want to be written out of the story? His death seemed to serve no purpose in the storyline - other than it was easier to show her evil side by killing him off as opposed to having DP destroy star systems as she did in the comic.
Of course the other possibility is that they were setting up the Wolverine movie by doing away with the X-Men......
The Best movie in the X-Men trilogy!.......2007-06-16
This is the Best movie in the X-Men trilogy! I enjoyed this movie a-lot! It's more entertaining than Bryan Singer's X-Men movies. Brett Ratner and Hugh Jackman did a great job with this movie! X-Men the Last Stand is great film! Bryan Singer is a poor director! Bryan Singer's work on Superman Returns proves that he could not direct a superhero film. X-Men :The Last Stand is a must see movie! A

The world domination of Pokémon begets their first theatrical movie. This adventure is a little more complex and dark than the popular TV series, but kids who live for the show will gobble up this film and ask for seconds. Those baffled by the show's popularity, however, will see nothing better here. Mewtwo, a new type of Pokémon designed by scientists to be the ultimate fighter, decides he wants to rule the world and challenges all the great Pokémasters to battle. Of course, our intrepid heroes Ash, Misty, and Brock are there to tangle with Mewtwo and spoil his devilish schemes. The film is a tad more emotional than the show (that is, there is some emotion), with Ash sacrificing himself to defend his beloved Pikachu (but don't you worry, Ash will be just fine).
Would you really expect the makers of this worldwide phenomenon to radically change its winning formula? The feature is only 55 minutes long, but there's also a 20-minute short, "Pikachu's Vacation." For the Pokémon novice, this escapade will truly baffle: the narrated tale has virtually no dialogue except Pokémon speaking their names (Bulbasaur, for instance, will only express emotion by using variations of his name: "Bulba, Bulba-SAUR!"). It's a real curio. --Doug Thomas
Description
The adventure explodes into action with the debut of Mewtwo, a bio-engineered Pokemon created from the DNA of Mew, the rarest of all Pokemon. Determined to prove its superiority, Mewtwo lures Ash, Pikachu and others into a Pokemon match like none before. Mewtwo vs. Mew. Super-clones vs. Pokemon. It's the ultimate showdown ... with the very future of the world at stake! Also, includes the mini-movie Pikachu's Vacation and never-before-seen bonus footage!

Customer Reviews:
Life lessons through cartoons.......2007-07-05
Good movie, great for the new into Pokemon fans. Also and emotional ending to help children learn about not being biased or unkind to those that are different.
I like the beginning of the movies' most, the battle scenes and seeing them besides on the games. I still get teary eyed at the end of this movie.
Pokemon the First Movie.......2007-07-03
I love these movie and it is the best of all the pokemon movies.It has some wonderful lessons.My favorite being why do we fight.We all share the same earth and the same sky.Just because we aren't the same doesn't mean we can't get along.Seeing Mewtwo's anger and then understanding is one of the best parts of the movie.Of course no pokemon movie would be without are favorite villians Team Rocket.So sit down,get some popcorn and watch Pokemon the first movie.
Pokemon the First Movie.......2007-06-27
Great movie for children of all ages. I watched it with my 7 year old grandson, and I enjoyed it as much as he did. When Mew appeared we all started to mimic the mew sound. My grandson paid me a compliment and said, Gramma, you do that good. I told him I had a lot of practice since I owned cats all my life. Another thing I would like to mention is how amazed I am that my grandson can name each and every one of the Pokemon characters. Well worth buying.
Sooooo Bad!.......2007-05-30
I went to sleep during the 55 minute "regular" movie, then woke up for the even worse 20 minute short vacation film with no dialogue. I often tell friends it is the worst movie (at least the most boring) that I have ever seen.
My son loves this movie.......2007-04-05
I don't "get" Pokemon; in fact, I think it's pretty dumb. However, my son LOVES Pokemon. He has video games and books; I can credit the books and the role playing games on the Gameboy with helping him along with his reading. As a present, I bought him this movie, and he has watched it many, many times and loves it. If you have a child that likes Pokemon, then this is a good gift.

Customer Reviews:
A GREAT START!.......2007-06-28
I hope to see more Marvel movies like this of all the charactors. This was a good intro to "IronMan" for those who know very little about him or his origin. For those who are VERY familiar with the comic and story it was a little skinny. But all in all it was fun and a good start. Hopefully it is the beginning of many more to come.
Broken Promise.......2007-06-05
Long on story short on action. The other two Avengers movies were put together so well, that it makes for this movie to be a let down.
abysmal........2007-06-05
alot of valid points here already, but, in a nutshell....it's abysmal.
it works, neither as a childs, nor adults, movie.
if you were in any doubt up to this point, rest assured, use your time & money elsewhere.
im a reasonably well read comic book / graphic novel fan & have enjoyed SOME movies in the genre...this being somewhere right down near the bottom.
i lasted 41 minutes. enough said.
Wasn't that good.......2007-05-30
I was disappointed by this film. It starts out great but devolves into a robot bash rock-em/sock-em. The story line is both confusing and not memorable. I watched the movie and cannot remember nothing about it at all. It's really not that good of a film. It could've been much better.
I would not recommend it to anyone but hardcore Ironman fans
Outstanding script.......2007-05-20
I published a little book about Iron Man twelve years ago -- "Exactly 12 cents and Other Convictions" (long past its prime at Amazon, though still listed) -- and have thought quite a bit about the mythos of this character since buying Tales of Suspense 39 new in the drug store forty-four years ago. Notwithstanding the broad range of opinions expressed here by other reviewers, for me the script for this new animated Iron Man feature was unexpectedly superb. Exactly 12 and Other Convictions: Four Imaginary Letters from Paul Davies

Brigitte Nielsen, as Conan creator Robert E. Howard's female warrior Red Sonja, gets an assist from Arnold Schwarzenegger in this enjoyably campy, Italian-lensed sword & sorcery adventure. Nielsen's thespian skills may be a bit stiff, but she certainly fills out the physical demands of the role, which asks her to look impressive with a sword as she avenges the death of her priestess sister and the theft of a sacred orb by an evil queen (Sandahl Bergman, also from the '82 theatrical Conan and a match for Nielsen's acting ability). Schwarzenegger (not playing Howard's barbarian king) lends some star power in a supporting role as a warrior assisting Sonja, and if the film stumbles in the acting, scripting, and special-effects departments, Richard Fleischer's direction and cinematography Giuseppe Rotunno are appropriately action-heavy and comic-book colorful (Fleischer also directed Conan the Destroyer and The Vikings); Ennio Morricone's bombastic score is another plus. --Paul Gaita
Description
After her family is murdered, a young woman becomes a master of the sword and seeks revenge on the evil queen responsible for the mayhem that has befallen her.

Fast delivery, perfect condition .......2007-03-20
It arrived in a timely manner, before I was expecting it even. And, there wasn't even a dent in the box, still mint condition.
When I was a kid!.......2007-02-06
When i was a kid I had two main heroes, He-man and Conan well and maybe JOhn Wayne and Vincent Price!! I am now 24, I always loved the Conan films they are in my top five fantasy films, always enjoyable to watch, The first Conan is great, the 2nd was good more kid friendly and then theres Red Sonja, It's more liek Conan the destroyer, its pretty good but not as good. I still enjoy it, it is what it is! Its a film you either like ot dont like. As a kid my dad had to rent it over and over,The last time I had seen it I was maybe 8 years old. I just recently puchased it two days ago, and I have to admit those old kid feelings came back, and if a film can do that it's gets a good grade in my book.
Red Sonja is very, very good!.......2007-01-09
In the typical barbarian blood & guts fashion "Red Sonja" is a movie well worth purchasing and adding to your collection.
the cover suggests its better than it realy is........2006-10-02
i would have liked a more real story in this dvd
When Brigitte Nielsen looked like a woman.......2006-06-30

Astronomer and all-around scientific hero Jeff Morrow (he of the stone face, Cro-Magnon brow, and heavy voice of dire intonation) discovers a new celestial body that suddenly changes course and slams into the Pacific Ocean off the Mexican coast. Meanwhile a mysterious white light takes over the body of lab director John Emery, who becomes the eyes and ears of the UFO when it emerges days later as a skyscraper-sized robot. Morrow and his crew--including his beauty-with-brains girlfriend, Barbara Lawrence; wisecracking sidekick, George O'Hanlan; and computer, SUSIE, which whirs and blinks but offers little real help--leap to the rescue, but not before the Mexican air force takes on the giant in a scene reminiscent of King Kong. Director Kurt Neumann, best known for the original The Fly, gives this low-budget sci-fi thriller an impressive scope, sending the striking, austerely designed giant robot (a walking battery with piledriver legs) marching across a B&W widescreen frame like a relentless tank and punctuating the drama with an impressively chilling A-bomb blast. Though hardly a classic, this is one of the more interesting alien invasion movies of the paranoid 1950s. --Sean Axmaker
Description
Scientists at a "Top Secret" atomic research laboratory are taken over by strange fantastic control devices launched from an orbiting space ship inhabited by a hostile super-intelligence from beyond the stars. Simultaneously, a gigantic flying saucer crashes in the Gulf of Mexico and Kronos, a giant metallic monolith monster, emerges. Unstoppable, it slashes across the countryside, draining the earth of all it's electrical energy and beaming it into space. Kronos, a weapon so perfect in design it absorbs a direct hit by a Hydrogen bomb and becomes that much more powerful! Atomic age excitement! Atomic age thrills! All in out-of-this-world "Regalscope" format for the first time on DVD.
Customer Reviews:
GREAT FUN!.......2007-06-05
I loved this movie as a kid when I saw it at the old Viers Mill theater in Rockville, Maryland. (the theater is not a porno house).
Wildly inventive, unique B movie that successfully exploits atomic age paranoia. The robot, Kronos, is fantastic in its menacing simplicity and beautiful art deco design. I can't to this day understand why it was never made into a toy.
Other that the robot iself, the unintentional humor is reason enough to buy this flick. Kronos has it all! Dreadful acting, spice rack and wagon wheel "computers" that are not even lit (!), hatchet cinematography, leather jackets that say "lab center" on the back like a bowling club, cockpits that don't match the airplanes, perfectly cheesy animation, I could go on and on. I was particularly struck by the "evacuation" of L.A. (?): on a highway leading out of the city, the traffic is more or less equal on both sides of the road!!
A delicious treat of a movie that has the power to make you wet your pants if you don't take it seriously.
great flick.......2007-04-24
I remember seeing this movie as a kid in a kiddie matinee, crowded with kids at the long gone Fruitvale Theatre in Oakland. Great Flick!!! At that time, it was state of the art, and a thrilling plot. Bought this DVD and after not seeing it in over 30 years, it actually is a well made film!!!! The thought of a black box that grows peg legs, walking around depleting the earth of its electrical supply and destroying everything in sight is pure camp and fun!!! It is good to see this movie out again!
Blast from the Past.......2007-02-18
Made in 1957...I was five years old. I guess it made it to tv's Saturday
morning Science Fiction Theater within two years.
Kronos is a big robot in a job that does not have very many robots--fewer still look like robots. I just remember a few parts of it from my childhood...all the rest I got last night when I watched it again.
I'm not going into detail here, I'm sure others have or will. I will say
why not watch it? It was a neat idea, pass the pop corn!
Kronos - the ravager of worlds.......2007-02-12
A lonely traveler is out in the dessert (looks like the same place that many great sci-fi movies were made) in his 50's pickup when he spots a strange light. Meanwhile back at the laboratory an unusual meteor is being tracked on its way to earth. What do they have in common?
The Dr. Leslie Gaskell (Jeff Morrow) suspects that there is some nefarious plot from outer space. They could be right. But can he prove it?
This movie is missing the front-end dialog familiar with the classics of the era. They just used the word Kronos because they must have thought it sounded nifty like the giant, this of course is misleading as it makes you think it has something to do with time. There is a love interest between Gaskell (Jeff Morrow) and Vera Hunter (Barbara Lawrence). A fun side interest was looking at al the fancy scientific equipment circa 50's concept. The menacing device is hockey may have had too small of a budget.
Electrifying.......2007-01-11
For the day, this was an interesting and well filmed production. The DVD quality allows for a great deal of detail not seen in the televised versions, even if the televised ones were uncut.
The science is 1950's.
Look for George O'Hanlon (voice of George Jetson) as the computer specialist. (How fitting.)
The beach scene is interesting, but I can't believe Barbara Lawrence changed into a bathing suit 3 feet from Jeff Morrow and he never NOTICED!

The Richard Donner cut of Superman II is an infamous legend come to life. Director Donner shot most of the sequel at the same time as his first blockbuster film, but somewhere along the line, the producers and studio lost confidence and brought in Richard Lester (The Three Musketeers) to rework the film, and receive sole credit. For years fans speculated on how different the final film was from Donner's original until an underground copy appeared showing a fully formed feature. In an unprecedented move, Warner Brothers officially embraces this alternate version. For those who have not been part of the rumor mill, know that Donner shot all the footage with Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman). You can find blow-by-blow descriptions of what is new/changed elsewhere, but most of the changes deal with Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder as the comic-book couple. Donner's cut provides alternate scenes for how Lois tests her hunch that Clark is Superman, the moment he reveals his identity, and how Lois unlearns that truth. Thing is, Lester's reshots are stronger, adding weight to the romance between the two, lifting the picture's stature. Lester also added the dandy Eiffel Tower opening. Donner's chief additions are in the Fortress of Solitude, where Marlon Brando returns to teach (Susannah York, as Superman's mom, appears in the Lester cut). The producers cut Brando's footage so they wouldn't have to pay him millions. The Brando/Reeve scenes continue the father/son dynamic of the first film. There is a great lesson in editing--Lester's less is better than Donner's more--when you compare how Kent turns back into Superman after losing his powers. The Donner cut is completely formed but does use some rehearsal footage, new effects, and some pieces shot by Lester. The history of cinema has many of these stories of movies reshot, hijacked, and changed from the original version, but here the underdog wins and Donner gets his chance to change history, even adding a note in the end credits about the use of fur and smoking as regrettable choices of the time.
Director Donner and creative consultant Tom Mankiewicz have a jolly good time revisiting their past on the commentary track. You get a clearer picture of who shot what, but the two have nothing good to say about Lester's edition. Donner doesn't go much into why he was dropped, just a difference of opinion and the need not to pay Brando. He also explains why the déjà vu ending of this edition was used in the first movie and a new ending would have been thought up for part 2. A quick featurette looks at how Michael Thau and a small crew reconstructed the film and compares several scenes from both versions. Also added are additional scenes shot by Donner but not used, most with Hackman. --Doug Thomas
Description
In the year of Superman Returns, Superman II starring Christopher Reeve also returns - with a totally different beginning and resolution. With Jor-El (Marlon Brando in recently discovered footage) in key scenes that amplify Superman lore and deepen the profound relationship between father and son. With different Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) schemes to unmask Clark Kent as Superman. With...well, with so many changes, large and small, that this Superman II is an eye-opening alternate experience. Director Richard Donner began shooting his vision of Superman II while concurrently filming Superman The Movie. Now, for the first time, his never-before-seen vision is here. And it's a must for every Superman fan, an important addition to the legend of the Man of Steel.
Customer Reviews:
Super Twist.......2007-07-06
If you love the Superman movies, you will discover a new twist to the storyline in this Director's cut edition. Richard Donner had a much different idea of the train of events that were to occur in the second movie, prior to his falling out with the producers. It is a "must see". Great extras, as well. I was impressed.
Pleased with gift.......2007-07-04
This was a gift to my son on his birthday, and he is very happy with it.
Thank you.
Definitely, one for fans and collectors........2007-06-27
I've looked forward to this release of Superman II for a while. Although I think Richard Donner's cut tells a more compelling story of the Man of Steel, I can see why the changes that were made for Lester's theatrical version. Also, one particular scene where they decided to take footage from the screen test (since the scene was never originally shot), looks out of place and breaks the flow of the movie. I understand Richard's intent, and it was a valiant attempt to show the scene as he envisioned it, but I'm not sure it was necessary. Anyway, the DVD is worth adding to your collection, especially if you're a fan of the first two Superman movies.
The Best Superman Film Ever!!!.......2007-06-16
This is the best Superman film ever.I love Donners version of the film more than Lesters.Lesters version is still good but they're missing Jor-El and other things I like about this one.In this one Jor-El is back instead of being replaced by Lara.In this one Lex visits the Fortress(like in lesters)but in this one Marlon Brando actually talks to him.I love it when Lois finds out Clark is Superman because it is funny.Lesters version was not funny but this one is. I also love the deleted scenes and commentary.The deleted scenes tell you what happened to Zod,NON,and Ursla and the commentary is great because director Richard Donner and Tom Mankiewciz talk about the film.I think any true Superman fan should buy this Donner version of Superman 2.
A definitive Superman II!.......2007-06-13
Superman: The Movie was a great film, but to me, the sequel (most of which was shot concurrently with the first film), was great at some points and not so great at others. Then I later discovered that the reason was due to there being two directors and a lot of the scenes I had a beef with were shot by Richard Lester not Richard Donner, who was fired after the first film's premier. Most painful to watch was the Clark Kent tripping scene and the Lois Lane Niagra Falls jump scene.
And then there's the stunning lack of Marlon Brando as Jor-El. A decision that was made to save money. Thankfully, that has been rectified.
Amazingly, Dick Donner and Michael Thau were able to recut the film using footage that was thought to be lost and did a whale of a job.
And fittingly, Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut, is dedicated to Christopher Reeve.

The girl with the striped moonboots and royal-blue epaulets is back from the 1980s to save the world for a new generation of young viewers. This time the gal, her rainbow-tailed horse Starlite, and her sidekick sprite Twink must face down a selfish princess who has stolen the biggest diamond in the universe, preventing light from reaching the world, and sending earth into a neverending winter. (Don't try to justify the plot from a scientific standpoint.) The rerelease of this 1985 production marks the relaunching of the Rainbow Brite franchise, following the successful returns of other '80s era cartoon characters like Care Bears and My Little Pony. Nostalgic young parents will revel in the big hair and big shoulders, and little ones will just enjoy the pretty horses and the colors. This 85-minute movie may also have some appeal to young males as the secondary hero is a boy with a robotic horse. (Ages 3 and older) --Kimberly Heinrichs
Customer Reviews:
I'm a guy and I liked her, does this make me a freak?.......2006-08-30
I can't say honestly how I came to know of Rainbow Brite because I just don't remember. All I remember is they were showing this movie on the disney channel once and that was it for me, I had the biggest crush on her as a kid so i'd watch this movie every chance I got. I'm 24 years old now and my crush/love/infatuation with her was restarted this past January, and when I heard that this movie was released on DVD I was stoked, I'd definitely reccomend it for the little ones though.
AMAZON DISSAPPOINTS AGAIN.......2006-08-07
This was the first movie I ever went to, at the age of 5. I used to have colouring books, and really love the whole concept of Rainbow brite's quest of bringing beauty and happiness to the world.
I ordered this in May and am still waiting for it. I am really disappointed with the delivery and site on this one. The site has stated it has 6 copies of this but am still wondering if they have any at all....I wouldn't bother with ordering this one and would definitely be looking at other websites after this.
FALSE ADVERTISING.......2006-07-18
i loved this movie as a child, but ever since i ordered it in decemeber, i am still waiting for and keep approving delays in my order - almost 8 months later. i'm getting pretty upset with amazon for advertising something on their website, that they cannot provide. don't bother ordering this dvd from amazon unless you like approving delays on your order.
****UPDATE****
i finally ordered one off ebay, and it arrived four days later. thanks ebay!
Love the Movie - Don't Love Waiting For It.......2006-07-07
I am in the same boat as everyone else: I love this movie and was ESTATIC to see it was available on DVD. I am just still waiting for it through amazon. I ordered the movie on May 16, 2006 and it is now July 6, 2006 and still no movie. I am NOT happy. I am disappointed in Amazon for advertising a 1 to 3 week delivery period. That is a complete lie and would recommend to anyone purchasing this movie to click on the the "new & used" link, or to use eBay if they can.
Aside from the ordering conflict- the movie itself is wonderful and I am so HAPPY to read that I am NOT the only adult (23 years old) who is in search of a classic! YOU GO RAINBOW BRITE!!
A rainbow trip for 80s fans........2006-06-26
As the only Rainbow Brite title available on DVD, I'll take what I can get. Rainbow is surprising adventurous and fearless -- and much less cloyingly sweet than I remember. Think of her as "Baby She-Ra"!
This movie feels like it was supposed to attract boys to the franchise as well. It introduces a new male lead, Krys and his Knight Rider-esque horse, On-X. This movie also has more robots, monsters, and scary lizard people than you would expect from a movie aimed at young girls. And thankfully, there is only one musical number at the beginning of the movie.
The animation is crisp and clean. The transfer is surprisingly vivid for a 20 year old movie. This may have been many viewer's first exposure to anime, as this beat Transformers: The Movie to the theaters by a year. And Akira wasn't released until 1988. The high detail/low frame rate is a signature of Japanese animation. And this has the same production values of mid-80s anime.
Like many 80s children cartoons, character motivation and plot aren't always coherant. It's never explained why the Princess wants all these jewels. (where are her parents, anyway?) There are some funny scenes involving her and her pet gemstone she drags around everywhere. Might be a little scary for very young children. But I think it's a fun movie for nostalgia-hungry Gen Xer's as well as young children of today.

Following the exciting, 2003 animated spectacle Bionicle: Mask of Light, Bionicle 2: Legends of Metru Nui extends Lego's movie franchise based on its Bionicle line of robotic warriors. Legends is actually a prequel to Mask of Light, which focused on the Toa, six guardians of the Matoran tribe on the island of Mata Nui, and the imminent arrival of a seventh member to their ranks. Legends tells the story of how the Toa came to be, chosen from the pool of Matoran youth in the great city of Metru Nui and, though physically transformed, hardly prepared for increased size and superheroic powers. In short order, the Toa--who babble and bicker like agitated adolescents--have to master their new gifts, impress their leader, and prepare to protect their home. Sprawling adventure, nonstop action, and real emotional complexity make this computer-generated universe a continually viable source for endless story possibilities. --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews:
Good story with good values........2006-02-01
I really enjoyed this movie, even moreso than the first. This story has great rolemodels for kids and shows the importance of believing in oneself and standing up against evil. Vakama, the main character, is especially interesting because he's just this normal Matoran thrown into a position in which he has to save his homeland. One of the morals of this movie is that there is a hero in all of us. This movie is about doing what's right, even when everyone doesn't support you or think it's possible.
I also admire the fantasy world that the creators created. There are six different villages (one Toa or hero is from each one), and each have their own culture. Another topic that the film touches on is that of racial prejudice and how in spite of each group's differences, they can still form friendships and overcome problems together. There is some interesting interplay between the three Toa that are in prison and a wise elder tells them, "Your duty is to ALL Matoran, regardless of village."
The movie is actually kind of deep after you watch it a few times and get the characters and plot straightened out. The movie is also funny. Matau is probably the funniest character in the film.
I highly recommend this movie.
Better Than the first.......2005-08-06
It makes me wonder why they didn't make this the first movie instade of the second. But I should I care it was still Great graphics were better this time. great action in this movie . If you're a Bionicle fan get this DVD. Hopefully the Third movie has a great story line has the First two did.
Good Fun for a Father and Son.......2005-07-27
My son and I both enjoyed this tape and can't wait to see the next in the series.
Bionicle 2=Star Wars Episode two.......2005-06-25
This movie is great! It's just as good as SW Episode 2!Some parts were downright hilarious, now thats true.This is a good movie to watch, I should say. I rate this......5 stars!
I don't follow.......2005-04-29
Our boys enjoy bionicles more than you think a 4 & 5 year old could, so they loved this movie and asked to see it over and over again. Any kid who loves bionicles will love this movie.
That said, this movie is almost impossible to follow. You find yourself asking, "Who is that?" and "What just happened?" While we watched it, the adults turned to each other and asked "Did I miss something?"
This movie was obviously edited to keep it short (for one reason or another), and almost all explanatory scenes have been cut out. Only when we read the book with our boys did we understand what was actually going on in the movie. Watching the movie, all you could understand was that Makuta is evil, and the Toa must save the Matorans.
The animation is nothing to "wow" over, but gets the job done.

But Lerigot flees to earth, seeking the only people who can stand against Divatox and her plan the Power Rangers. Along with the new Blue Ranger, their turbo powered Zords, and the unexpected help of the original Power Rangers set out on their most thrilling and dangerous adventure yet!

good.......2007-01-04
i have enjoyed this movie since i was a child and its a great movie.
Seriously Lacking..........2005-12-29
I was extremely disappointed with this movie. This movie really sucks compared to the first one. First a kid named Justin becomes a Power Ranger after another one is injured and the character and the acting just doesn't cut it. What also sucks is that Kimberly and Jason from the original Mighty Morphin PRs are there and it is clear that Tommy still have feelings for Kimberly and as a fan of the Tommy/Kimberly romance Kat being there just ruins everything. Divatox is cool as a villian but doesn't compare to Rita and Ivan Ooze as she is too conceited and superficial which gets annoying after a while. Overall, at this point the series Power Rangers has changed so much that what made the Power Rangers popular is completely GONE. I can't even identify with the characters anymore. EVERYTHING has changed. The only thing I did like was the technological advances in their Zords and their gadgets. Thats it.
NOT for young children.......2005-12-19
My 3 year old son got so bored watching this movie, although he is a big fan of power rangers (he has to see every dvd he owns every day at least once) his complain was that the power rangers only wear their costumes in 2 or 3 scenes.
Power Rangers DVD.......2005-08-27
For the product being used, it was in perfect condition. Very pleased with my purchase!
Turbo Power Baby!!!.......2005-06-03
ok at first I didn't think this movie would be any good, I wasn't a big fan of katherine and don't even remember tanya but forgetting that It actually turned out to be a really good movie especially seeing as how not only was there there the now infamous
"Shift Into Turbo" line but more importantly fans of the kim/tommy relationship will be very happy seeing as how there was the definate look of love when he find out what happened to her not to mention the times he's calling out to her and desperatly tryin to find her [don't want to give away those scenes]. Also, with a great plot that was a little better than the first movie and an awesome soundtrack there was just a hint of a little somthing going on with kimberly and jason so hopfully fans of the show will find somthing to talk about and find scenes in there that their gonna end up loving for a long time...my only problem was the end because they spent a fair amout of time on buildup with k/t -{{ remember the end credits anyone? he so wanted to hug her amoung other things}}- and to bring in the kat thing was a bad move, it lacked any feeling what so ever and was just fake in having it in there buy in spite of that I loved it alot.
PS- take not as i'm sure one of the only reasons why it ended that way was because with the series 1-3 and this alpha's magical christmas thing that i've just heard about and the stupid "letter" that i won't bring up i'm sure that they had it in there because ppl were asking about a possible reunite and it wasn't going to happen whick s#cks! I could go on but it's suppsed to be a review so i won't. But it was cool to see ernie in the end fight scene.

The Tommyknockers is a TV miniseries based on Stephen King's 1987 novel. An alien spacecraft has been buried beneath the Burning Woods near the small rural New England community of Haven for millions of years, but has now by chance been unearthed by Bobbi (Marg Helgenberger) while digging around in the woods behind her house. The structure in the woods begins to exert a glowing-green influence on the town, causing the people to invent Rube Goldberg-like gizmos, develop the gift of telepathy, lose their teeth, and form a hive-mind mentality bent on digging up the ship and revivifying the desiccated aliens within. Luckily, Bobbi's significant other is an alcoholic poet (Jimmy Smits) who needs to learn to face his fears. He also has a metal plate in his head that prevents the hive-minders from reading his thoughts and makes him immune to the neon-green influence of the aliens. Ultimately, it's up to him to save the day. Although the acting is topnotch, especially from Smits and Helgenberger, and there are plenty of gooseflesh moments, there are also enough plot holes here to fuel a very long and enjoyable evening's conversation. Why do the aliens start in at this time, when they've been causing legends in the woods for ages? Where does an alien ship buried for ages get all that dry ice? How does the Smits character make a living as a poet? One suspects that King's fine sense of New England characterizations is given short shrift here, and that the woods in his mind teem with more alien thoughts than the TV miniseries form could embody. Welcome appearances by congenial actors abound, notably Joanna Cassidy, E.G. Marshall and Robert Carradine. And there's a slutty postal letter-carrier played authentically by Traci Lords. --Jim Gay
Customer Reviews:
Did you read the book?.......2007-03-12
Not really worth watching if you read the book. Do yourself a favor and read the book.
Poor Quality.......2006-10-14
I'm not going to waste a bunch of my time or yours giving a personally oppinionated review of the movie plot. It's redundant and unnecessary, and whether someone likes the story or not is irrelavent. Only you can form an opinion of whether you like it or not by watching it yourself. Double that with the fact that most movies hardly ever line up with the book that's based on and well...
My gripe is the transition from putting the movie in it's original format onto DVD was bad. The soundtrack is about 1/2 to 1 second off from the video part of film, therefore the voices don't sync up with the lip movement.
will this horror ever end?.......2006-10-13
Is it generally a rule that miniseries based off books have to suck so badly? I've seen a million TV miniseries based off novels that have sucked so horrendously, but NONE like this. Get this straight before I continue: I LOVE the book version of The Tommyknockers; it's my alltime favorite Stephen King novel (second-favorite: The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon... review to come later) and I liked how it took the time to reveal key things about the plot: how Haven got started (and the "sowing and reaping" the itinerant preacher got on with the virgins in the cornfield), how Gard and Bobbi originally got to be such good friends (more than that actually; they dated for some time), and what actually went on in the woods that unleashed the evil. Here... bulls**t. Utter bulls**t. Here is why I think the movie sucked:
- The series is only 2 hours long... what the f**k? A novel the size of The Tommyknockers can't possibly be fit into a 2-hour long series. What about the minor stuff that, although minor, can't be taken out without a serious loss in credibility? Like Hilly. There wasn't much of him or his disappearing act with his little brother David, and there certainly wasn't enough of his tenure at Altair-4 or their frantic search for his body. And what about Gard and how he opened up the hole to suck in his conniving ex-poker buddy after getting cheated on a poker game? That scene would have been amazing in the movie. But no. None of it.
-The changes the authors made in the plotline. Seriously. Get some things at least partially right, then change what you have to in order to fulfill whatever sick and twisted purpose you had in mind when changing the original. But they take it too far. Example: in the novel, Gard and Bobbi's teeth originally fell out because of their "becoming"; now, nothing. And, the aliens themselves have a full set of teeth (that part in the novel)... so why the (insert obscenity here) did they change it?!?!
The only reason I gave this particular hellfest two stars is cause the original was made by Stephen King. No other reason. If you are looking for a good time, buy the damn book. It's the real thing- unlike this piece of s**t.
Overall: 2 stars
Why: for failure to be entertaining
This is really stupid!.......2006-06-12
This has to be Stephen King's worst work adapted. This adaptation is even worse than Needful Things. Children Of The Corn (I am talking about the original and not the crappy sequels) was miles abouve better than this garbage. Just a stupid movie adapted from a lame book. Just plain trash.
did they read the book??.......2006-06-05
while not one of his best novels, tommyknockers was much better than this waste of time! jimmy smits does his best,but the underwritten screenplay does him and this movie about dead aliens and the thought control they have over a small new england town is just not worth the trouble!! SKIP IT!!!!!
