WaterWorld Appreciation Thread.

There..., I wrote and started it.
There's gotta be someone else out there who Liked this Movie Besides me.
I just bought the Universal 100th Anniversary Copy on DVD for like 9 Bucks at Target.

I really liked it too. Never really understood the hate. I realize it was a box office bomb and went way over budget, but that is of no concern to me. I thought it was a really fun movie.

[Merlyn1976]

I've watched it hundreds of times...loved it!!!

"1/2 an hour, 1/2 an hour, 1/2 an hour"

I've never seen it. I don't tend to follow crowds on the popularity of hits, meaningless box office totals and such.

Hell, I loved John Carter.....

I have never seen WATERWORLD so I can't say anything about it, positive or negative. Someday, when I have absolutely NOTHING else to do, I might sit down and watch it to see if it's any good....

I've never been able to get thru it. Something about Costner as a post apocaliptic Road Warrior type just doesn't fly with me.

No "The Postman" either?

[Nostalgiabuff]

i liked it. liked the Postman too but thought the title was dumb
the one major issue i had with WW was that Dennis Hopper played it way to over the top. his character became cartoonish. otherwise I thought it was a great flick and I have never understood why the critics hate Costner so much

[toys2cool]

I liked as well

[bobws]

This thread wasn't a joke, wow. Actually i can watch this movie, but costners not a favorite of mine.

[mego ninja]

I think Water World and Postman were both great movies. Had the cost of WW not been stupid rediculous, it wouldnt be a laughing stock flop that it is...it would have just come and gone like every other terrible movie.

....but, I for one, liked it.

[ScottA]

I have to admit I've never seen the movie either.

[RickD]

Both are great films!

[thunderbolt]

No "The Postman" either?

well, then he was just a post apocaliptic Cliff Clavin.

[Hector]

Not crazy about Waterworld (although it's not a bad movie)...but I don't understand the hate for Kevin Costner. Besides Clint Eastwood...Costner is the other great modern Western top star...this is without a doubt. He knows how to make a great Western film.
