Linkshoch Wonderful Movie

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

gilligan1965 I watched this show a few times when it first came out and found it quite entertaining. Now, it's on NetFlix and I began watching it again."Mystery Science Theater 3000" is truly creative, and, very funny. Although "Beavis and Butthead" were doing this same thing a few years earlier by mocking music videos, MST3K has taken this sort of thing to a new level...mocking and tearing-up old and cheesy movies.Someone wrote a comment here about how stupid and 'infantile' it is to make fun of low-budget movies; and, how he'd respect MST3K if they made fun of high-budget movies!?!? That's just it...low-budget movies are made fun of, because...they're low-budget movies! They're cheaply made with silly scripts, poor acting, and, stupid dialog that's easily scorned and worthy of ridicule. Who'd watch a show like this that pokes fun at, and, insults movies like, "The Godfather," "Doctor Zhivago," and, "The Wizard of Oz?" No one! These are movies people want to see without interruptions. Then, again, someone who writes a comment that preposterous is someone who'd turn around and write a comment about how MST3K has a nerve to ridicule high-budget movies - he can't be pleased either way!?!?Another thing about those who dislike MST3K is, I believe, they just don't have the background and/or the mentality to understand the jokes that are being made towards these movies. If you don't understand where the jokes and comments originated, you won't understand how they're being applied here. It's the same as the review I wrote on IMDb about the original "Rocky and His Friends"(1959). In order to understand that show, especially "Grimm Fairy Tales" and "Fractured Fairy Tales," you first need to know about those original stories. For example - if you don't have a simple background in, or, knowledge of, "Rapunzel" or "Goldilocks," you won't understand the jokes related to these. The three main characters in MST3K make many references to people and events from long ago. Most people nowadays don't know who Rose Marie(Hollywood Squares), Doris Day. or, Foghorn Leghorn is/was, so, they don't understand the references.Granted...some of the movies being made fun of on MST3K probably shouldn't have even been here at all. One in particular is the Russo-Finnish movie "Morozko"(1964) (aka "Frosty")...on MST3K as "Jack Frost." This movie, and, fairy tale, is a classic in Russia, and, in most of Europe. It's well-made and well-acted. Even one of the cast of MST3K states that Natalya Sedykh makes Olivia Hussey("Romeo and Juliet" 1968) look like Thelma Ritter, and...that's saying a lot seeing that Olivia Hussey was beautiful in that movie.Either way, and, regardless of what inept tards may think, or, not think at all, I love this show! It's people who criticize and knock down creative shows like this who lead to diagnostic terms such as 'sociopath' and 'imbecile.'

sunnysurfer101 My top 3 favorite shows are: 3:Phineas and Ferb 2:My little pony: Friendship is Magic 1:This one. Well, take a bad movie; give it some movie references; funny ones to be exact, yeah this show is the best out there. For me? NO FLAW WHATSOEVER. With jokes that make sense, characters that are LOVABLE, (not as much as Friendship is Magic) and a whole bunch of other things. If you want an excuse to see a bad movie? Watch this, it definitely will satisfy. And I have nothing else to say. So......*whistles Friendship is Magic theme* Um, hey! Do you like to waste your time reading the rest of this review? Well good for you! Because, I have a life! A life of watching Ponies, and people who make fun of movies, And, oh I ran out of space......kay.

cobra_freak_006 well there isn't really much of a plot to this show. its about Mike Nelson trapped on a space ship with his robot friends and a evil scientist sends him and his robots old cheesy movies usually ranging from the 60's and 70's and throughout the movies the robots and Mike comment on it.i never watched this show when it was on TV during the 80's and 90's. i never really heard of it until i was dating a girl that sat me down and we watched it and i couldn't stop laughing even at the cheesy jokes during the movie. since i got netflix its made it easier for me to watch other episodes of it and some late nights i do.if you are in the mood for a cheesy movie and cheesy robots giving funny commentary then check it out. its worth it.

Erich Bennett I do not see why people are claiming that this show is great. When I was told about this show, I thought it would be the funniest show ever, because the idea of it is so appealing to me and I love shows where they make fun of things, like the soup, and tosh.o and other stuff like that. But honestly its not funny. One thing that this show flaws in is that its rated PG. Most shows where they fun of something is usually rated PG-13 or TV-14. It's really hard to make a successful show where they fun of something and its rated PG. Second of all, the movies they chose were just not the right type of movies to make fun of. They should have did movies that were more recent like movies from the 80's or 90's. I mean they should of done movies that came out immediately on VHS. But it might just be me and not my kind of comedy. I mean its late 80's and throughout 90's comedy that even though its only 10-20 years away from 2010, comedy back then could have changed.Third and probably the biggest flaw is that the comments themselves. They commented every five seconds, and a lot of them didn't make sense and it wasn't even that funny. And also I'm not sure why but I think it would have been funnier if they were facing you (away from the screen) instead of towards the screen and you see their backs/shadows. What they also should of done is not show them at all when the movie played and every minute or so and not every ten seconds, they pop up and comment. Also they could of done is when they're going to comment is pause the movie and make that noise when you stop and put your hand on a record player and comment. I love this idea. I think they should make a modernized version of this because there are so many screw up movies and bad movies today such as almost every movie on the syfy channel. And if they were to do that, I really, really think they should make it PG-13 or TV-14. And use the concept and techniques they use on the soup because I think it would be a great hit.
