Quick impressions of The One and Monsters, Inc.

[Chockboard]

<div style='font: 10pt arial; text-align: left; '>The One: action scenes kick ass, easily the best climax fight of any of Jet Li's American movies. Loads of cool special effects like Jet Li beating the hell out of people as they hang frozen in mid-air. Plus it has that veteran clone guy from Space: Above and Beyond in it. On the downside, the plot is a little weak, which is fine for an action movie. But it had the potential to be so much more: all kinds of social/philosophical ramifications to explore with the concept of multiple universes. Before you bitch about it just being an action movie and to lighten up, remember that The Matrix was an action movie but had character development and a multi-layered plot. If they were going to go with a straight action movie I think I would've prefered to see Good Jet Li be a Multiverse Cop and hunt Bad Jet Li from the begining; if only for the fact that in AAmerican movies, the only person Jet Li can have a really good fight scene with is himself.

Monsters, Inc., was great. Fun and cute, great graphics, yatta yatta yatta. What did you expect from Disney and Pixar? Also leave it to Disney to take a thoroughly disturbing theme (monsters harness the screams of young children to power their cities) and gloss it over completely with fuzzy, loveable critters.

Oh yeah, Episode II trailer sucks ass, extended Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter trailers rock your world.</div>

(Leave it to Shrek to restart the commericialistic engine when it comes to video and force Wal-Mart employees to wear these stupid "ears".)</div>

[New and Improved Zeus]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>The One was easily one of the worst action films I've ever seen. All I wanted was some action and I got shiet. Man, that sucked donkey cock of unspeakable proportions. Almost up there in shitiness with Battlefield Earth</div>

[G-man Joe]

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS"; text-align: left; '>Monsters Inc was quite entertaining! Slap stick sit-com with some cliff hanger action.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Surrrrrrre it was Zeusy. ;p</div>

[New and Improved Zeus]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Did you see it? Man, it reeked big time</div>

[Lee]

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>The only "one" sucking donkey cock around here is Zeus. I thought Jet Li's film was fun to watch, and that's all I ever ask out of a martial arts movie.</div>

[New and Improved Zeus]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Man, even my friend who liked Battlefield Earth (you know, handidly the worst movie ever) didn't like it, and he likes ANYTHING. Even the action sequences were bad. I've seen second-rate martial arts fliks (like, say, American Kickboxer 186) that had better action sequences</div>

[Lee]

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Zeus, I'm going to watch American Kickboxer 186 the first chance I get, and if I find that it blows like a low-budget action series on UPN, I'm going to give you shit, like, FOREVER.</div>

[G-man Joe]

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS"; text-align: left; '>When it comes to movies, we always give Zeus shit! =8^) Yet, I agree with him most of the time. AGAIN - THE LONG KISS at the end of MATRIX was stoooopid! =8^D</div>

[Gentz]

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>What the hell are you talking about?</div>

[Gentz]

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>I think the plot of The One would have been a nightmare had they tried to expound on it further. I think it worked fine as a simplistic idea that makes you go "Hey, that's kinda neat - now let's see some more beatings." But that's it. But the "multiverse" idea is so utterly ridiculous from any sort of logical standpoint that going into it further would just make you want to puke (well, me at least).

That being said, the movie was badass.</div>

[New and Improved Zeus]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Sorry, imagery confused you, I guess. Basically, I thought the bowel movement I just had was more entertaining than The One (thanks, Kali :-)</div>

[SineSwiper]

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>The action scenes in the previews were easily more entertaining than most of the action movies out there.</div>

[SineSwiper]

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>I think we all agree on that end, but we differ on whether it ruined the entire movie or not.</div>

[New and Improved Zeus]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Again, never said it ruined the entire movie. Just took it down a notch, from "fucking incredible" to "very, very good"</div>
