An average movie

To be honest, it has been years since I have seen this movie and maybe I should probably give it a 2^nd chance at some point, especially since it actually has a really solid reputation. Indeed, even though it was a box-office flop when it was released, it quickly became a cult-classic. Well, to be honest, from all the classics directed by John Carpenter, it is the only one for which I really didn’t care much. Basically, it is a really silly movie and, if you love its silliness then you will have a blast watching the damned thing but, in my case, I thought it was usually more cringe-inducing than actually entertaining. I don’t know, the fans might argue that it was incredibly fun and entertaining but I was rather bored by this feature and it felt rather like watching a cheap rip-off of ‘Indiana Jones’. Still, as I mentioned before, I saw it a while back so I should probably re-watch it at some point but I have my doubts (the fact that Roger Ebert didn’t like it at all when it was released makes me think I was probably right the first time around). Anyway, to conclude, even though it seemed to a decent flick, I didn’t like it much and I don’t think it is really worth, except if you really love the genre.
