There it is.

Because the story itself was great, but the movie couldve been much better.

Total Recall (1990) - nostalgia goggles? Perhaps. But 10/10

Damn a 10/10 for weird Austrian grunts, huge teeth and mispronounced English?
I'd give it an 8. It is a pretty good movie though.

But still 7,5/10 from me.
Great directing, great score and great effects... but still something is off. Not Arnold, no - he played well.
Had 'em too last month

Re: Rate The Last Movie You Watched.
I thought about going lower but I just didn't know why I would be doing so. Maybe the fact that I won't feel compelled to watch it again for another 6 months or so?
edit - OK, maybe as compared to my love for The Terminator and T2 it should be lower, 8 or 9.

^ If I watched there, its a 5 out of 10. The best moments are cut.

I watched the DVD actually. Then I listened to the commentary, recorded in 2001. Arnie was saying how well it held up despite being '10 years old'. 22 years old now.

Re: Rate The Last Movie You Watched.
I think the movie holds up fine. I'm not one of those people that call a movie dated because it's special effects are now old.
It's part of the charm.
Like in Frankenstein, not a huge fan of the flick, but I loved the last half of the movie where they're chasing him through the mountains with that crumbled sky background. You can clearly tell it's a set and backdrop...but that's a part of it's charm.
Not really responding to you, but to those that dismiss the movie now due to it's effects.

Re: Rate The Last Movie You Watched.
Indeed. In fact in some cases I prefer the old effects to the new. CGI becomes dated in its own ways that can be more jarring to me than the ways in which, say, the stop-motion ED-209 in Robocop has dated.
I don't think special effects are the only thing some people mean when they talk about a movie being dated though - it can be anything from the tone to political incorrectness and whatnot, cartoony or overly choreographed action or something. Having said that this sort of stuff can also be 'part of the charm' as you said.

Re: Rate The Last Movie You Watched.
Which begs the question: If you take away graphic violence, nudity and swearing.. how good ARE most films? Because I'm the same way. I might like a movie and give it a 10 (on my modified rating scale) but if I were rating the same movie based on the version seen on regular TV with all that stuff cut out ALL those ratings would drop. Some movies are completely unwatchable like that too.

Re: Rate The Last Movie You Watched.
Indeed. I know people might say "Well, then you didn't enjoy the movie!"
Not true. Goodfellas is a fantastic film. But watching it on TV kills almost all the impact it had.
Same with Pulp Fiction and other Tarantino flicks.
