One of the worst films ever!

Not a fan of either movie myself, but I can understand why someone would not like the first movie compared to the remake. Not that either had a character you really cared about I think it was simply that the original was made in a different time when the typical movie wasn't shot like a music video, where scenes were longer and people hadn't been programmed to watch movies like an ADHA kid on speed.
I grew up on older movies, and I have to say that after years of watching the quicker paced movies of today many of the old ones seem slower and that can cause people to be bored if they aren't in the mood and being in the mood for a movie will dictate if you enjoy it or not to some large degree. -

Ha ha ha. Yes indeed! I was trying to think of a response to probably THE most ridiculous posting I've ever read on IMDB, (maybe even the internet!) Then I read yours! Which is perfect!
One of the main themes of the film is being 'on the ride' WITH the 'monster'! That and the horrific, 'of the time' back drop. And this clown missed them both!!!!!
Best stick to Disney.. or Shaft! ROTFL!!! -

Agreed!!! I was just thinking about what a brilliant and badass film this is. Carter does nothing but kick ass, beep, and drink in Newcastle all the while investigating his brothers un natural death. Great ultraviolent film from the same period of time as Dirty Harry and Death Wish. I can empathize. I like his style. "Worst movie ever" ??? Do me a favor

Naturally most of us have a slew of oldies we've yet to see, and having them spoiled does not do any good. The fact it is being discussed here tells you that it is still relevant. It's easier to follow a rule not to spoil ANY movie than to declare spoilers fair game for old movies. There are so many movies much older even than this one that I intend to see. Warning people of spoilers is the decent thing to do regardless. There's even a Spoiler markup button, so it couldn't get much fricken easier.

GET CARTER WITH MICHAEL CAINE AND TERENCE RIGBY IS ONE OF MY 10 FINEST EVER.STALLONE'S WAS WEAK AND SHAFT OR WHATEVER THEY CALL IT IS RUBBISH.SAMUEL JACKSON IS A FARCE.
YOUNG AMERICANS,HARVEY KEITEL,THE LATE TERENCE RIGBY AND A FINE CAST IS EXCELLENT. -

Waitaminute. I thought all the other films on IMDB were the worst films ever made. I mean, they all say so somewhere in their message boards.
How about taking a hike until your hat floats?
What I had in mind was boxing the compass. -

You're so right. Every great film ever made, there will be someone in the message boards saying it's one of the worst, or at least that it sucks and doesn't know what the fuss is about. Never fails. I even look for those posts now!
naturally !
