Re: Rank a Riff, you Spanish Peacock!

Quite good, but not great. I might have liked it more had I not just watched Birdemic and Karate Kid 3, both of which are instant classics (for me).

I give it a 7.

I apparently gave it a seven, though I don't actually remember doing so. If I were to re-rate it now, I'd give it an eight. I think it's worth noting that I thought the first third or so was kind of weak, but the remaining two thirds were a lot better.

I had one problem with this which was entirely the fault of the movie itself.  It had some passages that were very quiet, and other that were all explosions, thunder and yelling.  My apartment is slightly noisy, and if I turned it up enough to hear the really quiet parts, it was WAY too loud in the noisy parts.  I was constantly adjusting the volume just to stand the movie.  (this is not a problem with the riff track)

This was said about Inception too. I recommend listening to these on headphones. I find I have a better time hearing both the movie dialogue and and Rifftrax audio on headphones than on my stereo speakers, and there's much less need for volume adjusting. (though it's loud either way when Bill blows the whistle during The Dark Knight, haha)

You can change your vote. My original vote was an 8 then I switched to a 9.

Is it just me or does the riff really pick up whenever Connery or the Kurgan are on the screen? Or a Queen song's playing...

Actually I think the riff becomes really solid after the first beheading in the parking garage, once the movie starts spending more time in Scotland.  (And no, that's not worthy of a spoiler alert, the beheaded was an incidental & unimportant character who died early to introduce us to the concept of the quickening).

And what kind of pick up line is "Madison Square Garden?"

Just saw the movie AND the riff for the first time. Great way to do things, if you ask me.
