This isn't a review of the whole show, though it's clear they didn't put a lot of effort into it.

One thing that really bugs me about this right away is that in the credits, Carolyn Jones is called the "special guest star."

She was Morticia. She's not a special guest star. She's a member of the cast. I haven't checked any of the Gilligan's Island made for TV movies lately, but if I saw the woman who played Mrs. Howell listed as a "special guest star" it would bug me.

Or Samantha's mother on Bewitched. I thought she was great. But not enough that you'd put her on her own level above the rest of the actors from the show.

Just my two cents.

People either already know that the ratings on pages like this are bullcrap, or they are unwilling to know it.

The person who wrote the review about how giving virtually ANY movie a 10 star review is disingenuous was spot-on.

I tried to watch this movie, and failed. I have seen a LOT of movies in my time. I've sat through a lot of bad movies. I'm a big fan of Rifftrax / MST3K.

This movie is nowhere nearly as good as the "bad on purpose" movies you find these days.

The idea that a single person would be able to give this movie a 10 star review after seeing it is insane.

It's not a parody so much as a violent middle finger to horror movies. It is to parody movies what OJ Simpson is to football.

And, out of all the other terrible things about it, the ending doesn't even parody Friday the 13th. It parodies Seven. Which is somehow, even worse. It couldn't even stay loyal to its terrible concept.

Like if The Joker went on a violent killing spree, and at the end, when confronting Batman for what may be the last time, he decides to fight him with riddles and a coin toss. I mean, dude.

If you haven't seen this movie, which is pretty likely, don't. Be thankful that you don't live in one of the two dimensions this movie was presented in.

And stop giving movies 1 and 10 star reviews on a whim. That last animated Batman movie had a TON of 10 star reviews even before it leaked to the pirates, so I KNOW those people didn't see it. One review, the guy even said he hated the movie (this is the one where he went back in time to feudal Japan, it was terrible) but he gave it like a 7 or 8 JUST because Batman was in it.

They should make it cost you like a quarter do put in a review. I feel like a quarter is enough money that the trolls wouldn't bother.

Make it a dollar, and donate the money to helping freedom of speech cases. Be pretty hard to complain about that.

My two cents.

Okay, I just now finished watching the "Black Bart" pilot for the first time, from the "Blazing Saddles" DVD, and came online to see if IMDb had anything interesting to say about it. I was shocked and amazed to find such a mean comment about the pilot, but I certainly think everyone is entitled to their own opinions. I just hope that people will give this a proper viewing, because I quite enjoyed it. The humor's there, even if it's not in the same style as the movie. The reason for this is most likely because Mel Brooks didn't have anything to do with it. I still enjoyed it quite a bit, and am now all psyched to watch "Blazing Saddles", which I haven't seen in awhile. I think the reason this didn't get a season-full of episodes is that it's mighty risqué for 1970's TV. I mean, they use the "N-word" frequently, and make constant sexual references concerning the saloon-hostess. It would probably do a lot better now, in a world full of viewers sick with reality TV... Just another opinion...
