Rate the riff.


I give it 9 angry houseplants out of 10.



RVR II

I struggled to watch this .. this.. movie ???

The guys did well though. I gave it a 'hot dogs' 8

TheUnabeefer

**Marky Mark immitation**   Hey there Rifftrax.... so ya like to make fun of movies do ya?  I'll bust open your face.  Say hi to your mom for me.

This is one of the first trax in a while to get a 10/10 from me.
...and there he was, reigning supreme at number two.  The One... The Only... The Unabeefer.


Bossy Boots

This was one of those great rifftrax when the riffers were totally on and the movie was a special kind of bad. 9/10

Relaxing Dragon

Very good riff, had me laughing the whole way through (of course sometimes I was laughing at the movie itself as well). Still chuckling over all the hot dogs lines. I give it a 9/10.

Quicksilver

The Ood: The Beast and his armies will rise from the pit to make war against God.
Rose: I'm sorry?
The Ood: Apologies. I said: I hope you enjoy your meal.

This was the first 10 I've seen in awhile.  The entire thing really reminded me of a good MST3K episode, moreso than a lot have been.

Loved the Rifftrax but the film...what...when...how...WTF!? Shyamalan's being going downhill but this was Uwe Boll levels of tragic  :'(

Edward J Grug III

Really enjoyed it, even though I had to watch The Happening again. Blech!
FINE

MightyJack

Just watched it again, gave it a 9. This has been the best Trax since 6th Sense (which I'd give a 10) M. Knight is comedy gold baby! (and the acting in general made me laugh. What was with Walburgs delivery, I can't get it out of my head... "Have you heard about the bees?")

I think the only thing walburg is to blame for is signing the contract. You sign on to an M Knight movie and you gotta take it down a few hundred notches, do whippets, huff gasoline, whatever it takes to act as badly as the script calls for.

I actually like Ms early films and I think the acting in Unbreakable was great. So I'm not in the 'automatically bash Shymalan' group... but this, this was as horrid a mess as I've even seen. I mean, I was able to sit through Lady in the Water without gagging but the Happening??? Whatever artistic voice the director had, is completely gone.

Relaxing Dragon

I actually liked Lady in the Water (dammit it's a fine movie!), as did a M. Night fanboy friend of mine, and we both thought this was pretty spectacularly awful. Just sayin.

Also, is this the highest rated Rifftrax? Haven't seen any before where the lowest rating was a 7, it's pretty remarkable.
