Review:
I don't understand why people are so critical of this movie. Maybe because they don't understand the "Law of Fiction." That all Fiction novels have the same mold.

I thought it was extremely entertaining. The end fighting scene didn't last for an hour. It was slightly corny and cheesy (with all of the "Laws" it has to follow), but I liked it and I recommend it!

Review:
I had high expections for this movie and I really wanted to see it.
In the end I was very disappointed.

I enjoyed the plot, the characters, and the actors did a great job.
I thought it started going downhill after the Mexican hospital.

And I definitely did not like the ending. The whole dream thing.
Maybe I am being a bit harsh, but I thought it could have been better.

Review:
NOT that bad of a movie!! I've seen much, much worse.

A silly plot, but the acting really isn't that bad, and the dialog is enjoyable. It starts out really cheesy, but it gets better. :) And considering how old it is, the special effects are really, really good!
