You can say what you want about Dolph Lundgren - yes, he's made some HORRIBLE movies and at times can make Keanu Reeves look talented - but I Come in Peace is a sizeable cut above the rest of his body of work. The plot is OK, has a few interesting touches but just as many derivative ones, but that's not what makes this film so good. It is the entertaining interaction of Lundgren and Brian Benben - their constantly ripping each other and acting macho, it's hilarious. And the other supporting characters are fun to watch, too, from Matthias Hues as the one note alien heavy, to Jay Bilas as the alien good guy, to the hilarious Mark Lowenthal as Bruce, the paranoid scientist genius. Even Lundgren gets into the act with some awesome one-liners that even Ah-nuld would be proud to have uttered. A 5-star B-movie classic!

i was supposed to see a sneak of Nutty Professor II, but too many people showed up and i got turned away. luckily, i noticed there was another screening taking place - i managed to sneak my way in, and it turned out to be The Replacements. now, i am in NO way a Keanu Reeves fan, but despite his presence and some suspect plotting, this is a pretty fun film. there are some good laughs, and i think Rhys Ifans is hilarious, so the humor was a pleasant surprise. i'm not much into American football, but the action on the field was fine, they attempted some different things which is always good, and they managed to avoid a few of the standard cliches, if not all of them. on the whole, i enjoyed it more than it bothered me, which for me to say about a Keanu film is something indeed. check it out, but turn off the movie-plot-deficiency-detector part of your brain beforehand, your enjoyment of the picture will be much the better for it.
