ygmn Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 YUP! Kevin Costner.... I had to watch it...as it was $5 at wal mart...and well I have heard so much talk about how bad it was.... Well I watched it...and I liked it...entertaining, different, good characters....(loved Ford Lincoln Mercury kid) I just cannot see where peeps hated this movie...It is not like ISHTAR yet all you read about it is that it is crap... Well...I recommend this move...ecspecially since Wal Mart has it for less then $6 after tax! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 yeah, another Costner epic, good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Amy Posted January 3, 2005 Moderators Share Posted January 3, 2005 I thought it was ok. Just a little cheesey and melodramatic for my taste. The book was better. I'd put it in the same category as Mel Gibson's The Patriot. But a steal at $6!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damonrpayne Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 What's it about? Is it better or worse than Waterworld? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Amy Posted January 4, 2005 Moderators Share Posted January 4, 2005 Go to IMDB.com: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119925/?fr=c2l0ZT1kZnxteD0yMHxzZz0xfGxtPTIwMHx0dD1vbnxwbj0wfHE9dGhlIHBvc3RtYW58aHRtbD0xfG5tPW9u;fc=2;ft=21;fm=1 If I HAD to pick, I'd pick The Postman over Waterworld, but only because I like the subject matter better.

toddvj Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Waterworld was a great movie. The Postman was good, too, but not as good as Waterworld. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postman is about the near future after some sort of war...and AMERICA is in shambles and run by bands of thugs....no government etc etc... Really is worth a watch...good sights...

gcoker Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I thought Waterworld was a lot better then The Postman. Although Postman was not that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grateful11 Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Movie critics killed Waterworld long before it hit the big screen. I though it was a good movie, better than Postman. I still remember all the critics whining about how much money was spent making it and how it would never recoup the cost. Grateful11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dblue Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Guys, I'll have to be the first to disagree...the Postman was one of the worst movies I have ever sat thorough (and I only sat through about an hour before I had to stop). Sorry! But I will say that Waterworld wasn't that bad. Enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juba310 Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Why didnt you like The Postman? I thought it was allright, entertaining at the very least. I liked the concept of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblue Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I don't know...dialogue was worse than almost anything I've seen...the cinematography gave it an almost made-for-TV feel...acting and direction was amateurish. And yes, the concept is interesting, but has been done before a billion times, in good films like Mad Max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelman Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 I loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwinr Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 I liked both The Postman and Waterworld. In fact if there hadn't been so much bad pre release publicity, I would have enjoyed Waterworld even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
