We all know it was better than The Lost World...because that movie had a dinosaur break out of a cargo hold on a tanker, shred everybody on board, and then lock itself BACK in the cargo hold, awaiting the heroes to find it.
Minority Report is also better than Screamers because Tom Cruise has never played Robocop, like Peter Weller.
Was it better than, say: Mission Impossible 2? Yeah. MI2, the only movie to ever get Metallica to contribute a song for the soundtrack, was also one of the most incoherent Hollywood movies in recent memory. During the mess of Napster, that was exactly what we all needed.
It wasn't as good as Roger Corman's Death Race 2000, though.
So. Where do we stand, then?

Mission: Impossible - 2: Unknowable Hypenation - Colonization at least had the whole "dove" thing. John Woo is perhaps the single greatest action director of our time.

Of course, I didn't actually mean that John Woo is the single greatest action director of our time.

and i didn't mean that John Woo was not as good of an action director as Edward Gein. as far as i know, Edward Gein directed no movies, action or otherwise.

John Woo would've been the greatest, if he hadn't made Hard Target. You can't be the greatest with Jean Claude in one of your movies, no matter what.

well, you also can't be the greatest if you ever SAW Jean Claude, as the sight of him soils you. i guess there can't be a greatest, since everybody who see movies has seen Jean Claude at least once, and nobody who doesn't watch movies is going to make action movies. sad, sad world.

Minority Report was also better than Cutthroat Island. This, I have decided.
The chunky AOLish 3-D effects for the videos swayed me on that.
ET was better than Minority Report. So Was Jaws.
I could rank it against Speilberg's other movies. Or Cruise's...but it's unfair to rank it thusly. How could Minority Report POSSIBLY compare with Days of Thunder? Cruise has just made SO MANY GOOD MOVIES!!!!!!!!!

Jean Claude doesn't soil you. Steven Seagal soils you. Each movie has become even worse than the one before. And they still hire him?
At least Van Damme made Time Cop. Which was decent, if only for the future of pornography.

hey, Steven SeaGull has a pony tail, so back off. jackass . nah, you're right. Seagal hasn't made a good movie since Under Seige, despite having made a lot of movies since then.
