Movie Reviews of The Postman

Movie Review: It is entartaining...
Summary: 2 Stars

This movie isn't that bad at the beginning. I am a big fan of the post-apocalyptic genre. I liked the beginning of the movie because it kind of resembled the way in which the road warrior was portrayed. The protagonist was a lone wanderer in the desert, and he did not depend on anybody to survive in the wasteland. The movie changes completely when the protagonists becomes the postman. It seems that the movie changes from the nuclear wasteland theme to a western theme. The movie becomes very cheese when the postman arrives at the town. At times, the movie becomes a kind of western soap opera. In conclusion, the description of the movie is very misleading. This movie is a very cheesy western. I liked some parts of the movie though, especially the beginning, and that is why i am giving it an extra star. I guess that if you like westerns you can like this movie more than i did. However, this movie is a very mediocre "western". What i can assure you is that you will laugh at how ridicule the plot is.

Summary of The Postman

The year is 2013. War has crippled the earth. The united states is no more. Hope is forgotten until a drifter whose fabricated tale of a restored united states of america gives survivors the will to fight for the freedom they lost. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 02/08/2005 Starring: Kevin Costner Will Patton Run time: 178 minutes Rating: R Director: Kevin Costner

Falling from the Oscar-winning glory of Dances with Wolves to the opposite end of the critical and box-office scale, Kevin Costner must have been deeply humbled when this three-hour postapocalyptic tale--his sophomore effort as a director--was greeted with a critical thrashing and tepid audience response. One of the most conspicuous flops of its decade, the 1997 release must have seemed like a sure thing on paper: a kind of futurist Western starring Costner as a charismatic drifter-turned-hero who leads the resistance against a military tyrant (Will Patton) by reviving the long-dormant postal system to reunite isolated communities in their fight for freedom. The movie bombed, but, like many audacious failures, it's got qualities that make it at least partially endearing, and its earnestness (although bordering on corny) keeps it from being entirely silly. Faint praise, perhaps, but Costner's ode to patriotism is occasionally stirring and visually impressive. The dual-layered, widescreen DVD includes a documentary segment about the creation of the film's special effects sequences, featuring a running commentary by the special effects creators. --Jeff Shannon
