Honestly, I think his best performance was that Mr. Brooks deal. In my opinion, he was excellent in that role. He's an odd duck, though. Did I ever tell you guys about the absolute fiasco that was his first country/western singing performance at the Grand Ol' Opry? Jesus wept that day, I tell you. And so did his band members. FAX |

I thought Waterworld sucked pretty badly. I don't care if cost a dollar to make, I just didn't like it. I read The Postman and enjoyed the book well enough. I've been meaning to get around to watching the movie.

As i mentioned before, thats the best thing about it. They actually went out to Hawaii, built sets, and filmed on real water. It looks great.
If it were made today, the water and sets would be all CGI and Dennis Hopper would be Motion Captured. Last edited by Deberg_1990; 03-08-2012 at 08:17 AM.. |

If you liked Waterworld, you'll love The Notebook. Basically the same movie.

The other thing that plays into Waterworld's reputation besides the budget was Costner was supposedly Mr. Dances With Wolves Wunderkind at the time.

Tin Cup was a solid enough movie; I'll watch it if its on.
The little girl in Waterworld ended up being pretty cute in a Laura Linney sort of way; she fluctuates with her weight, though. She was the girl with the weird ponytail thing in Napoleon Dynamite. And yes, Jeanne Tripplehorn's ass was fantastic. Then again, I think the best scene in Basic Instinct is the one with her, and not any of the ones with Sharon Stone, so it could just be that I have a crush on Jeanne Tripplehorn... |

I enjoyed Waterworld also Hooper made it interesting with his character but it is what it is a ok movie I bet if a better cast & character development was better im sure it would've been more successful(maybe)..

Put me in the camp that loved Waterworld, but then again I also loved Mortal Kombat and Starship Troopers, they all came out when I was 11, 12 years old, the childhood sweetspot. |

Honestly I'm baffled by you guys. Waterworld insulted my intelligence when was 12 years old. |
