Mr. Stitch

I enjoyed this one, it was a take off of the Frankenstien theme, but this time, an androginous being is assembled, and educated by a caring mentor. It was well filmed, without the violence associated with the genre. The creature asks for two books to read, the bible, and Frankenstien. The effects were modest but effective, the story was intelligent, a decidedly off the beaten track tale, that rewards the viewer who comes to it with diminished expectations. If you like Science fiction, give this one a try.

I kept it on for as long as I could, but after awhile this movie really began to bother me, so finally I turned it off. NOT one of Rutger Hauer's best films, or probably anybody involved best films by a long shot.

It's not like I was expecting a great movie. I admit, it was only the presence of Rutger Hauer and my knowlege of some bad blood on the set that made me want to watch this in the first place. The story, which is somewhat like Frankenstein, is about a young man (Wil Wheaton) who is patched together from various cadevers by an odd reclusive type (Hauer). The young man is horrifying in appearance, but brilliant in knowlege. The old man also possesses a great amount of knowledge, so he knows enough to keep his creation secluded into an odd building where everything is white. I think the white somehow represented a sign of religion, which was pointlessly made to look all bad, and like science was the key. That, along with the fact that Hauer "suddenly having to go away" (and never coming back) quite quickly played major factors in my turning it. I don't care for Wil Wheaton nearly enough to watch him by himself, and what was he supposed to DO for the rest of the movie without Hauer? I did not feel like finding out.

Note: Hauer "suddenly had to go away" because director Roger Avery asked him to leave the set...permanently. It seems that he and much of the cast were at odds with the rest of the crew. (maybe he didn't like the ridiculous view the film took on religion). Editing problems were also supposed to be a problem for this film. Those could be two reasons as to why it turned out so...oddly.

How they were able to attain funding to produce this..uh..movie, has to be more of a feat than the production itself.

I'm so glad to see Wil Wheaton didn't leave Star Trek: The Next Generation without such promising projects awaiting him.

Wheaton plays an androgenous, Palamino-skinned Frankenstein's Monster with amnesia, who after reading one of several books, the Bible, names himself Lazarus.

With huge vacant lab rooms, filmed using more lens gauze than Penthouse, an eventual laboratory breakout, and a crazy road trip(by the way, when did he take the 'Mad Max' driving course), 'Stitch' can only leave you asking one question? Ron Perlman had plenty of time post-"Beauty and the Beast", but what was Taylor Negron thinking?

This is without doubt one of the worst films I have ever seen. I saw it at a friend's birthday party where someone had recommended it as being a good film.

Mr Stitch was so boring that I even found the opening credits boring! The rest of the film was no better. The first two thirds of it took place in this enormous white room without walls. The story seemed to drag on an awful lot and took forever to get to the point of the story which it didn't really appear to have much of.

The bizarre looking Frankenstein like creation continued to have memories which were left in the body parts that had come from the people who were dug up in order to build this prototype super soldier for the military. It was difficult trying to find a reason to stay awake, but the person who recommended it kept saying "a good bit was coming up soon". It never did.

I have heard that this film won a Golden Turkey award for the most boring film of all time. An award which is most deserving. The only notable parts of the movie with any entertainment value at all are the observation eyeball and the smoke cloud in the shape of a skull.

Watch it if you suffer from insomnia.

I think the movie was excellent, it was not violent for starters compared to other recent movies.

Wheaton plays the part of a man who has been 'stitched' together like humpty dumpty, well from the remains of many dead persons. The problem starts when he starts remembering how they died and lots of other memories they had. Nia Peeples is great in the movie, as is Wheaton.

The movie reminds us, not to play with nature, not to "play God" with life. What God creates we shouldn't manipulate for our own egoistical interest such as creating super-soldiers which was what the movie was about.

Great sci-fi movie, unfortunately it was shown at 1.30am last night on tv!
