Title: The Ice Pirates
Post by: Andrew on May 17, 2005, 04:38:55 PM
Well, I finally ran the full run of my sadist streak.  Nearly two years in the making (and there are still more reader reviews I need to post that have been waiting longer), here is Ashthecat's take on "The Ice Pirates."

I love this movie!!!!

It was recently released on DVD and I went to every video store store in town asking for it.  Almost every employee looked at me like I was crazy and claimed to have never heard of it  But one glorious (and independently owned video store) said "Ohhhh with Robert Urich, wow I wish we had that one"

I eventually tracked it down at Best Buy and bought it.  Damn what a movie.  It may not be as funny to me now that I am almost 30, but it is still quite entertaining.

I remember seeing the previews and was so exxcited i made my mother take me to see it. In retrospect she probably thought i was a pretty scary kid, while other little girls wanted to go see Annie and Benji i wanted to see Krull and Ice Pirates

"while other little girls wanted to go see Annie and Benji i wanted to see Krull and Ice Pirates"
Sounds like you were my kind of girl.

Wasn't this released in 3D? I have recollections of seeing it at the theatre in 3D.

Sweet Jesus!?!?  Krull?  A coworker and I were talking about that film yesterday.  I used to loathe it as a kid yet he owns a few different copies of it.

WOW!

Thanks Andrew!  Finally after 2 years it's on the home page.
I never thought that review was the greatest...it had a ton of flaws until I edited the hell out of it.
I think I sent like 2 or 3 drafts of it to Andrew before I was satisfied with it.

So does this mean if I send you another movie review, it'll be up in 2007?
Just kidding!

Again....thanks for finally posting my review!

Finally got a chance to see this one last night.  It was pretty fun.  I think it could've been a lot better but some of the jokes either felt forced or the timing was off or something.  The jokes were not as funny as I think they could've been.

Ya know, now that I read over my review a 2nd time, it really isn't that bad at all.

I was meaning to ask you guys, "What do you think of my review?"
Did you enjoy it?
Title: Re: The Ice Pirates
Post by: raj on June 03, 2005, 06:17:07 PM
I did (and I'm not saying that just because I got a mention.  It was the $20.)

The movie is not really bad...I mean for mid 80s sci-fi comedy, it can certainly be enjoyed if you like that kinda stuff (and I do).  It's definitely a "B" movie, but not an unenjoyable one.  For some reason though I felt like a lot of the jokes could've been staged or timed better to be funnier.
