I'm afraid I need convincing to pick this one up, so what did you guys think?
FINE

Good, not great. Probably a 7.5 or 8 for me.

I have the finished reauthored DVD waiting at home, but I think it'll be a few days before I can bring myself to watch it.  It's a shame my compulsive nature forces me to purchase and watch all Rifftrax offerings.  I just hope to God they never do The Godfather or Goodfellas.

ScottotD

huh? why?

What tone does the riff take?

I haven't watched the riff yet, just the movie.

What did you like/not like about it?

Can you compare it to another Rifftrax release?

It had plenty of good jokes, few laugh out loud ones. I don't know, it just seemed to have a little less energy than some of the other riffs. I'll have to watch it again sometime later and see if it improves with more viewings. I was surprised there was no riffs on her being sent directly to Hell, do not pass God, do not collect 200 dollars, type of thing. So her going to Hell is completely bypassing God's judgment?

I am a lifelong horror fan and I know Raimi's earlier works so I wasn't disturbed by the goo and ooze aspects of the movie.

I know I'm in the minority thus far on this thread, but I really enjoyed this rifftrax, it wasn't perfect but it was pretty good to me.  A solid 9, I was entertained (both by the silly movie and the laughs Bill and Mike were providing!)  I found myself to be giggling and laughing thru this entire movie.

Not a classic Rifftrax but it made a very silly movie very fun.  They gave me laughs and that's all I ask!



PS: It was great to have Bill and Mike work exclusively together for a change.   :highfive:  (not saying I think less of Kevin, it's just a nice change of pace)

Maverick Joe Six-Pack

I gave it a 9.  It's not the greatest but a lot of the riffs hit me just right.

right in the middle with a 5

It felt rather lack luster. Not a lot of zip and zing and zowie!  :) A few chuckles here and there. It did pick up near the end, at about the time they had the sceance. Movie was asinine though. All that spewing of various fluids in a womans mouth and face... It's like Sam Raimi's version of porn.

Thrifty

They made a fair number of The Happening jokes, and some Wiseau gags.  There was a great part during Justin Long's speakerphone conversation with his mother.  "Turn up the speaker phone a little louder.  I'm pretty sure she's long gone!"

Darth Geek

I didn't understand the Justin Long hate. I sit because he's on those stupid "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" commercials?


JimJ

About an 8 and half for me, but voted 9.  I thought it was pretty good throughout.  Definitely not their best work by a long shot but I enjoyed it.

TheUnabeefer

I gave it a 7.  I thought it was really good and funny, and I laughed a lot...  I just can't get myself to give it more than 7.  Maybe after a few more views, I'll go up to an 8.
...and there he was, reigning supreme at number two.  The One... The Only... The Unabeefer.

I gave it an 8/10

Easily, my favorite Mike & Bill track. This is actually surprisingly good. However, the movie. Dear God the movie....

I'm with Thrifty on this. I HATE horror movies. Almost entirely due to the fact that they tend to fixate on young girls being hurt. And thet PISSES ME OFF :grr: Seriously, the idea of females being hurt, let alone tortured for all eternity, infuriates me. And it doesn't help that Alison Lohman looks a LOT like my sister.

Still, I'm glad I gave this one multilpe tries before rating it, because I hated it at first. However, it does grow on you.
