| The Beast finds that the the beautiful Belle is starting to soften to his charms, in Disney's "Beauty and the Beast". |
MY RATING:
67/100
WOULD IT BE IN MY TOP 250?
No.
WHY IS IT IN THE IMDB'S TOP 250?
The film was certainly an important milestone in American action cinema. It continued the Raiders of the Lost Ark tradition of an indestructible male action hero, and refined the use of irony and jokiness to alleviate the violence portrayed in the film. As far as the Schwarzenegger-Stallone-Willis action extravaganzas go, it's probably one of the better-executed, and Alan Rickman certainly made for a memorable villain. Willis also brought an Everyman quality to the role of McClane.
As for why people seem to view the movie as an action classic while it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, I guess most viewers just aren't as bothered by the movie's callous dismissal of secondary characters, pandering audience-pleasing moments and underlying reactionary conservatism as I am.
