What a stupid, pointless movie.  As dull and incomprehensible as anything from the MST3K days.
Mike and Kevin did a great job.
The revolution will not be riffed!!

I gotta say when I saw Reign of Fire in the theaters, I thought maybe me and my dad were going deaf, cause for inexlipicable reasons the dialoge was soft, while the music and sound effects were so loud they would drown it out at times.

Nope, not the case, just retarded acting from the likes of Mc-Chau-nah-hey and Christian Bale. You see, this was their excuse to create dramatic tension, by speaking so soft the viewer is forced to listen. Which made Mike's line "Why are we whispering?" and all the other lines delivered during these "tense" moments so damn hillarious.

This was a funny rifftrax. Not quite as funny as Firewall but funny nonetheless.
Aaahh! This movie just throws you violently into the next scene!

Ugh.  Can we bring back the movies that are so bad they're unintentionally funny?  I'd rather watch Crossroads six more times than see this again even once.  At least Britney Spears didn't continuously defy the laws of physics.  And dull?  Even my husband, who happily sat through four viewings of Watchers 3, was starting to get bored about halfway through.

Having said that, they did a nice job with the Rifftrax.

But I'm really, really, really missing Bill Corbett.

This was the first time ive watched this movie. The movie itself i found entertaining enough, Strange but entertaining. But Rifftrax was better tho.. There was more singing from kevin then anyother one ive seen. Which is always cool and the McConaughey jokes where all good. I notice they werent that hard on bale. Which is good because i think hes a good actor. Anyways i guess thats all i have to say about it.

I loved this one.  While I'll never place myself in the "hated the movie" camp, I was unquestionably disappointed, as this was a story idea that I felt had a lot of potential (in spite of its overall incredulity).  "Reign of Fire" played out more like selected scenes of a television show than an actual film, and while there was a lot of stuff to enjoy on the whole I'd felt let down.

And then came the Riffers.  Mike and Kevin's treatment of the overall bleak feel of the film, the gaping gaps in logic and plot, and the generally unlikable nature of Matthew McConaughey were all brilliant, and the interaction and dialogue between the Riffers was better here than in any other Riff I'd seen to date.  In fact, I think this might have been my favorite to date (I've also viewed "Star Trek VI", "The Matrix" and "The Phantom Menace"), simply because the Riff was so consistently funny and entertaining.

Favorite lines/moments after a first viewing:
Kevin's "dying dragon" dialogue ("Tell Pete I love him", "Give my children to Hagrid", etc.)
"He has the strength of 10 scrawny British actors!"
"Tomorrow we'll re-enact a scene from Short Circuit 2."
"I am Oz!"
The recurring bad puns joke ("Every time I make a bad pun you flick me in the ear...I'm starting to see a correlation here...")
All of the songs!  :)
