What is everyone's opinion on this new Rifftrax release?

It's decent. Not as good as I Believe in Santa Claus though IMO.

I'd give it a B-. maybe.  The movie isn't *quite* terrible enough to "warrant" a ripping, so it's one of those kinds of riffs.  But there's still some good jokes in it and for the movie itself. Bruce Campbell need I say more?

Fine, Stacey Keach.

It's one of those Rifftrax where I stopped paying close attention to the riffs and more attention to the plot midway through. It doesn't mean the riffs were bad, just that the movie was a bit too interesting.

I had that issue, too. I will need to rewatch to catch all the riffs.

I don't think the movie was *that* interesting. I mean... the action in it was so tepid Sean Astin's character stopped to nosh part-way through it.

Hey, the "Beck" park ranger character and his brand of comic relief sort-of reminded me of Johnny Knoxville's character in "The Last Stand."

See, I was all excited for Bruce, because...what movie has Bruce not "mostly unsucked" by the time he's through with it?  Well...I'll have to add Icebreaker to the list.  Now...what I'm saying is that I was hoping Bruce could make this watchable without the riffs, but he doesn't.  The good part is it's still decent as long as it's riffed.  I'd agree with the B- assessment.

I have that problem when I try to watch the Iron Man Rifftrax.
I survived the San Diego Comic Con 2010 Hall H stabbing.

It was only interesting in the sense that a train wreck is interesting.

I agree. I mean it was a shameless Die Hard ripoff. But Bruce Campbell is worth watching in anything he does.

All in all, I'm entertained.

I've never gotten the love for Bruce Campbell.

I'd give this an 8 out of 10.

It has Bruce Campbell in it so the movie is already an 8 out of 10, I liked the riff a lot.

Johnny Unusual

I mostly liked this one.  Sometimes, they do overlong riffs I don't care for ("At least this is better than Bond" is both a tired bit and one that goes on WAY too long) but it is still largely solid.  I wouldn't say that I was caught up in it like some people did, but I really did think that Stacy Keech and Bruce Campbell were doing what they could with the material (I have nothing against Sean Astin but he was pretty damned bland in this one).
