I don't think it has yet but yeah, Neflix shipped mine today so I'll check it out tomorrow 8)

Artie

Gave it a 6.  This one fell flat for me.  Maybe it was the movie itself or fact that they were obligated to do this movie but they the guys didn't seem very interested in this movie.  There were way too many call backs - bonesaw, hawk/hawks, etc and an overuse on the gay and trans jokes (seriously give it a rest with those - they're not funny just filler)

I agree, a lot of the jokes were stale. Come on guys, i know you can be more original than that.

And the gay/trans jokes were really not cool. It's like how they kept ripping on Sister Beech in The Wicker Man, basically calling her a man because she was a woman not of conventionally attractive appearance.

I'm afraid I have to concur with Artie and Moca Java, though I'm somewhat more generous. I gave it a 7. Way too many stock jokes and just pointing out the obvious. Very little of it seemed particularly clever. It felt very much like they were only doing it because they felt obligated to. As a result, they just weren't really into it. Not quite as good as Clash of the Titans and nowhere near as good as High School Musical, Boy in the Plastic Bubble or Goblet of Fire. For a movie so widely panned, I expected better.

Speaking of which, the movie itself was nowhere near as bad as its detractors made it out to be.

I give a 7..
As stated above :-\

Man... these reviews aren't giving me hope.  It wasn't a Paranormal Activity/Phantom Menace "this movie sucks"-fest, was it?

They just really didn't seem to be trying on this one. They used so many old jokes and to me it didn't fit well at all. They just seem bored with the whole thing.

Rococo

I give it a five. A friendly five: I don't regret my purchase and got a lot of good laughs, but judged against the guys' stellar work as of late, it fell way short.

I watched the movie unriffed first and that probably got my expectations a bit too high. It seemed pretty much tailor-made for riffing, with all the awkward pauses and ambiguous line reads. And certain scenes are just transcendentally awful ("Earthbenders! Why are you acting this way?"). Listening to the riff, though, I was really disappointed by how many lines were wasted to callbacks and generic filler jokes, especially when the awfulness of what was happening on screen was actually funnier.

Prince of Space 5049

I dunno, I had my expectaions lowered by the bad reviews, but wound up really enjoying it.  These things are so subjective.  I can't tell you how many times I've watched a Riff, hated it, only to watch it several months later and love it! (the other way around too).  It seems to have a lot to do with my mood at the time.   :-\

I don't know... I gave it a six. I had a few chuckles here and there but it didn't really grab me.

While I got a lot of laughs out of this, I did think there were a lot of missed opportunity and this riff could have been a ton better. In fact, I am actually inspired to team up with a few friends of mine and make my own iRiff for this.

Such as the "...............................YES!" line.

Also, those people who think this film is not crap...stay away. In fact, I think the reason for the boredom on the riffter's part is due to the fact that this  movie is just mind numbingly generic and boring on top of bad. Like a modern day Waterworld.

I enjoyed this one.  Maybe not as a good as Clash of the Titans but still a mighty good riff.

Haven't watched this riffed yet (hoping for tomorrow night!  ;D).  I quite enjoyed the sample.  Got me to laugh, snicker, pass gas a bit and nod knowingly with a crooked smile.  For those that have seen it, how does the sample stack up to the whole? 

Main reason I'm asking is cuz I don't know if I wanna spend my $ on this or High School Musical instead (I found the sample surprisingly "meh" and feel painfully indifferent about the whole HSM thing).
