Movie Reviews of Vanishing Point
Movie Review: I haven't even seen it and I hate it already!
Summary: 1 Stars
I just watched the original Vanishing Point again after having bought the DVD a few years ago. I remember this flick from the mid-to-late 70's when I was a kid and too young to really get it.
Now it makes a lot of sense, after having lived another 30 years myself. And then there's the downright unexplainable, but still cool... take the mystic link between Super Soul and Kowalski! Somehow he knows when Kowalski is listening. Something about his blindness gives him a kind of "second sight". Freaky, but it works somehow.
To think that they could completely jack with that original concept!! There will never be another time like the early 70's. That great classic should just be allowed to rest unmolested.
I like the chick below who rated it one star simply because they sent her the wrong format. She, too, hasn't seen it, but she realizes it deserves only one star! I wish I could give it zero stars! :-D
Movie Review: Another One
Summary: 1 Stars
Yeah, you guessed it... Another movie that makes you wonder if the writers in the movie industry have the worst case of writers block known to man. It seems that at least seven out of ten movies that have come out in the last ten years are poor remakes of classic movies that should have been left alone. It's bad enough that they can't write anything original, but then they go and massacre good movies someone else made... The only things this movie has in common with the original Vanishing Point are the desert, the Dodge, and the chase scenes. And that makes it a spinoff of the original, not a remake of it. Viggo Mortonsen is an excellent actor, but this is a C grade movie at best. The even ruined the scene with the lady biker...Movie Review: Aarrrrgghh! Vanished Point!

I saw this on TV when it came out. I'm sure it was a made-for-TV movie, and it should have stopped there. I remember looking forward to seeing it, then was totally bummed out. I wasn't expecting it to be as good as the original, but geeze, it shouldn't be allowed to have the same name or main character. Totally different plot, totally corny. Was this made to be a chick flick? Someone mentioned what's his names blue eye's, and the woman in peril. If I remember he has to drive through Utah to Idaho and plays chicken with the cops. No cop is going to play chicken! Why doesn't he buy a freakin' plane ticket? Instead he tries to kill himself so his wife has nobody. Arrggh!Movie Review: Bad Idea
Summary: 1 Stars
What made anyone think that remaking a film that made its name on style alone (given that the story kinda has holes big enough to drive the Dodge through) was a good idea?
The same thing that made filmmakers who watched the original "Halloween" think that "Friday the 13th" was a good idea, i guess -- lack of imagination and a touching belief that what was successful once will be successful again, even if the people doing the new version have no real talent and little or no understanding of what made the original a hit.
Movie Review: i have never seen source movies like the original"vanishing point" raped and spoiled this bad before
Summary: 1 Stars
how can you take the best drive-in movie ever made and turn out this WEAK AND POINTLESS remake that robs the story of all the best parts.maybe it was because they gave to much of his background or maybe it's because they give him a good reason for the chase(wife about to have a baby). in the original he starts the whole thing over a $10.00 bet and nothing more(that we know), so with some of the mystery gone most of the tension is gone also. really a miss step by all involved
