Re: Deep Impact, I agree with m_k's comment. The film should have been a serialised TV movie, or gone straight to video. I don't think its producers realised that Armaggeddon was being released at the same time, so an already bad film was made to look even worse, and so became a 'slight dent' at the box office.
Tag line from Deep Impact:
It's closer than you think.
Quote from Armageddon:
Charles "Chick" Chapple: I've never told anyone this before, but I'm afraid of flying. So it would be very embarrasing to die now.
Rockhound: You think that's bad? I owe 100 grand to a fat-ass loan shark which I spent on a stripper named Molly Mounds.
Charles "Chick" Chapple: Boy, that's bad.
The difference in class is easily apparent. Wonder when the game will come out?

Personally I think you should change the name of the DVD Movies forum.
I never feel like I should post in there, as I've never watched a DVD in my life.
I love watching movies though, and discussing them.
So do the right thing and rename it the 'Movies Forum'.

It was good at the end, but they cramed too much into just that amount of time!
On that subject, character buildup, I think that Deep Impact is one of the worst films that I have seen for completely lacking it!
It looked like thay film could have been a hour or so longer, but the director just cut it to shreds, getting rid of any chance we had of getting to know the characters, so it was just a buch of stuff that happened to a bunch of people I didn't care about.

"as they had barely any character build up in the film"
That is very true, and one of my pet hates in films. Look at Star Wars, all of the characters were very strong. Unlike Episode One.

I love the bit at the end where he has like total power over everyone and he stops the bullets. That is so cool.
Also the bit where the guy who made the lady in red gets killed and all the blood comes out his mouth.
It took me about 4 times to understand the whole film. That shows how good it is.

I agree the love story was crap!

Yes I liked the fight sequences, but it was the baddies that I had a problem with. They just weren't bad enough.
They looked like middle aged men, desperately trying to cope with a mid-life crisis.
Whatever you may believe it is not, has not, will never be cool to wear sunglasses indoors.
Also some of the other characters living in the real world were so obviously cannon fodder, as they had barely any character build up in the film, so they were only there to die, so it didn't have the effect it could have done when they were betrayed.
And another thing, the love story between Neo and Trinity was dire, but I blame that on Keanu Reeves acting.
Other than that it was alright!
