Movie Reviews of 1941 (Collector's Edition)
Movie Review: Bad movie, even worse DVD
Summary: 1 Stars
It's pretty much agreed that "1941" is Steven Spielberg's career low. He himself called this movie his failed attempt to make a National Lampoon flick. This film is full of gags and would be jokes that bomb (pun intended). As a matter of fact the only funny scene in this movie is the introduction which is a clever parody of Spielberg's own "Jaws". It's a shame really, considering this movie starred such big names of the day such as John Belushi, John Candy, Dan Ackroyd, Tim Matheson, and others.
But enough of bashing a movie that's already been bashed to death.
If there is anyone who wants to see this movie out of sheer curiosity, they might as well skip this disc. The DVD is presented not in anamorphic widescreen but in letter box, which means if you have a high definition television the black bars at the top at bottom will take up about half the screen leaving a squat, yet wide picture. Also, the picture sound quality are dismal and flat screen TV's will pick up all the flaws, making this movie look like a VHS movie recorded off a TV station on the EP mode. This is a bad movie on even a work disc.
The only redeeming feature on this DVD is the "making of" documentary which goes into details of how the movie was a failure. The doc is actually more interesting than the movie itself which should never be the case. This is one to avoid.
Movie Review: Great Steven Spielberg Film!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie changed my life entirely. When I first heard of it, I thought, "since it's a Steven Spielberg film I thought it was going to be a movie really about world war II, but it actually was a parody of world war II films. Even at tHe begining of this movie, I laughed my bottom off! It also has a magnificent cast including John Belushi and Dan Akroyd. (a.k.a. The Blues Brothers) Although a very long movie, you will definitly enjoy it. I would even pay you to see it. But i'm not aloud to, i am only 11 years old. Please type your comments. And one thing SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Movie Review: A little slow in delivery

This item was mailed to a friend direct..according to speed of another item I had ordered the same day, this item did not reach the same destination until 7 days later than the first and they were both ordered same day and 5 minutes apart. Movie Review: What a disappointment!
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a bad re-mix of a great movie. First, they got the screen aspect wrong. Second, the restored footage is of very poor quality. It's easy to see what new scenes have been added... just look for the blurry parts!
I loved this movie at the theatre and on VHS. Too bad that when I wanted to purchase it on DVD there's now only this garbage version available.
Not worth a nickel in my opinion.
Movie Review: Tore it! Tore it! Tore it!
Summary: 1 Stars
A boring comedy with no sense of timing, made even worse in its "extended version". It's like a long joke badly told; you cringe all the way through it. Rule of thumb: avoid any movie referred to as "wild", "zany", "wacky", "crazy", "insane", "hysterical" or "screwball", unless you have a taste for forced humor, overkilled comedians, worn slapstick, or excruciating experiences in general. If so, man, is this the movie for you: a dummy gets the best laugh!
