Movie Reviews of The Million Dollar Hotel
Movie Review: One Of The Worst EVER!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I rented this movie because a friend of mine made the statement, "Mel Gibson has never been a BAD film". Boy was he wrong. Mel must have owed somebody a HUGE favor for him to take the role of Agent Skinner (X-Files anyone?). This film had NO basis in reality. The story was weak, boring, and had NO point whatsoever. The Acting was HORRIBLE. I have NEVER seen a group of actors looking like they COULDN'T WAIT for the filming to end. Mel Gibson was absolutely TERRIBLE. I was truly AMAZED that there were actual Human Beings that ENJOYED this film. I read the previously printed reviews and was in utter unbelief. I mean I've enjoyed my share of BAD movies (like HOUSE and HOUSE 2), but at least those Movies had a little fun on their way to the Movie Trash Bin. I really don't understand WHY this film was made OR how it even survived the DVD Transfer (it should've melted as it recorded). I have to say this is probably THE worst Movie I have EVER seen in my life. I thought it was a Movie called SPIDERS (you can read my Review of that one right here at Amazon.com), but, to my disbelief (and dismay) Hollywood has actually produced another Raspberry Award Nominee. My only regret about this review is that I HAD to give it at least ONE STAR. Please forgive me; it deserves ZERO!!!Movie Review: Million dollar hotel

Keep away. Absolute self indulgent garbage. Pretentious tosh. The main character mumbles throught the film. "nutters" are all portrayed as people scratching their heads whilst staring at the floor with a pained expression all their other attributes are copied off crazys portrayed in other films (Brad Pitt-12 monkeys for example). It tries SO hard to be original and clever and fails on both counts. There are a couple of humorous lines in it but thats it. The DVD commentary is equally dull. Highlights include Bono pointing HIMSELF out when the credits roll. The interviews seem like an extension of the film. The cast, director and co writer (Bono) are SOO intense. They take the film SOO seriously. Mel Gibson says of his character, a cop "hes investigating a case and he doesnt ask any questions" this sentence is followed by an embarrased confused look. Probably thinking to himself "so why the hell did I agree to do the film?" Completely dreadful!!Movie Review: Unbelievably disappointing

I expected a great deal from this movie. I was overwhelmingly disappointed. It gets one star because I HAVE to give it at least one star, there's no option for '0 star'.I am a huge U2 fan, but the music was downright dull. It all sounded like the same song over and over again, and as the person I was watching the movie with stated, it was filled with Bono's masturbatory musical moments (ie. unnecessary musical vignettes during a scene, lyrics that were dour, dull and pretty much unrelated to the action, etc.)
I am a HUGE Mel Gibson fan, and love Jimmy Smits, but both of their performances were mediocre, at best. It surely had more to do with an uninspired (and uninspiring) script than any shortcomings of theirs.
I won't give away the big mystery behind Mel's neck brace, but it was the most ridiculous plot twist (if you could call it that?!?) I've ever been subjected to.
What a waste of time and money this was. It's a stinker.
Movie Review: not up to standards
Summary: 1 Stars
This book is a low-grade rewrite of dream team, which is a copy of one flew over the cuckoos nest, witch if a rip off of Don Quixote. So we see that everything is a copy of some classic, and as time progresses, the copies get worse, like running Shakespeare through a Xerox machine so the copies get more and more degraded each time.The music isn't even up to par with u2's standasrds. I think that 'passengers' is a better soundtrack like miss Sarajevo which is really a monotonous song, but bono and the lads breath live and power into what would normally be a sub-B side song. But satellite of love isn't up to snuff there are better versions of this song.
An odd film to be sure but are crazy people really that virtupus, and do they really see things saner than we do? We should get real with thementally ill abnd increase funding and nor glamorizeing a disease.
Movie Review: don't see this movie
Summary: 1 Stars
this movie is possibly the worst movie i have ever seen. It would have probly been better if you could hear the words the people were saying half of the time. And don't use any of that i am shallow i don't get it ... because i get alot of things and i find depressing movies with hard to follow storylines easy to understand. but this is awful. it has no point and if you buy it you would surely be wasting your money. the music is awuful and the plot is teriible. i can understand why some people gave it bad raitings but not why some gave it good ones. do not buy this movie or watse you money on renting it. I am saving you from a huge dissapointment. I wish i could have gieven it zero stars.
