yes .. its shlocky in parts and pretentious and shlocky some more.. but it still works for the most part. kevin was pretty full of himself true.. but so what .. if this was a true story then i'd be upset but its just ppl making a movie thats long .. involved with sprinkles of all that hollywood has to offer.. enjoy it for its faults .. then the good parts will shine even better... 6.5/10 .. as for the comments from all you 'guyz' .. i give an 8.5/10.. you guys make me laff.. wtg
@tHeWasTeDYouTh And people like you would be the reason that it never becomes a good world a gain, and don't you hink that maby, just maby, that you goi ng from town to toiwn, there wont be someone out there with a gun, or better yet about ten people with guns? You're not as badass as to think when everyone is against you.
Worst movie of all time? No, weird and confusing? Yes. Why was Tom Petty in this, especially if they weren't even going to role the credits to one of his songs?
@saintlibra12 So let us get this straight.... according to Hollywood, we will have some global-scale disasters in 2012 that causes the world government to collapse in 2013...? Damn, and now we're in 2011....
i dont know why postman and waterworld were considered"bad movie" sorry but i was highly entertained by them...i watch this any time over stuff like "captain america" or "green lantern"
I don't see why it's so under rated. This movie was just incredible! The director should have a oscar for it. Nowadays there are too many directors that just use the same shit over and over again, and they can't even catch the magic of the 1st one. The director did a great job, making a postman as important as this is just incredible, I just can't find the right words to describe this fantastic movie!
Thank you, Gubbmint, for giving us everything we have, for handing out benefits like . . . candy out of your pockets . . . candy you stole from the people to begin with, and gave to your cronies.
i saw this movie when i was flicking the channels on tv and i really enjoyed it ps. don't you just love it when u discover a movie you have never even heard of before and it turns out to be really good
The story of the film is among the most fascinating Ive seen. But this is kind of underrated movie, because there were many characters I liked. I enjoyed alot this movie, but what really screwed up the movie was the ending. Costner could have done a better ending than the predictable one. If not for the ending, this would probably be one of the most exciting movies ever done.
This movie did deserve to get better reviews and become bigger and even better than either "Titanic" or "The Lost World" OR "MIB (Men in Black)". ...If it was done with a better director like Steven Spielberg and still starred Kevin Costner and instead of having Will Patton as the villian, but have either Billy Bob Thornton or someone in that nature do Patton's part. That's MY P.O.V. (Point of View). What do any of you guys think?
this movie made me cry at the ending when i was 13 years old seing it when i came home and my my mom told me to sitt my ass down. i watched the movie and it is still a 6 star movie
mercury and the postman are on the same levelnumber 1 and 2 postmen.. they are both heros. and he didnt get a statue at the end lol. mercury deserved one before the postman at statue at least holding an american flag.
i just barely saw this movie at 22 and my cousin told me about it when i was 16 and i just barely saw it and i just sent him a thanks for it sooo late.
the black kid mercury actually brought back the postal service and the post man was a fake but kept on doing it because he saw how it spread and most of them where kids and end up getting shot. this is the first movie ive ever seen to have a kid shot in the head and the back and 4 other kids shot and left hanging by i rope by there feet.
the black kid mercury was the kid that actually saved the world if you think about it. postman was trying but to have like 200 other postmen when the postman got near that town. he thought it was a fake rumor . but to see how mercury spread the postal service so much the real postman had to step in and take up after that one town when he lied to mercury about being an actual postman and gave him a fake job as being a post man. and mercury actually brought back the postal service lol.
he day this came out, titanic was playing, which was pretty predictable and i fell asleep in, left and caught the postman. Olivia Williams, friend of a friend is in it, and then saw it several times later, 9 in all, and yes, read the book, but interesting to figure out how the world fucked up, and see how it got back and became better. still love to watch it, hate titanic by the way, what a piece of shite!
@ShareoutUSA2008 The only thing that I liked about Titanic (when I was 10 and my mother dragged me to see it), was that chic's tits! 15 years later, the only thing I like about that movie is that chic's tits!
This movie was crap... but the book it (supposedly) was adapted from was a GREAT read!! So much was left out of the movie that explained things which would have been incomprehensible unless you read the book first.
Costner is a bit of a lightweight, directing a movie with a heavyweight subject line. He really hasn't made anything decent since No Way Out, Field of Dreams and Dances with Wolves.
I don't like how the Holonists are portrayed as "Nazis" hating ppl of different 'races'...the fact that the villain in this movie was a painter, just like Hitler was, makes the message in this movie: America vs Nazism..
and deathwarrant, the Holnists are not Nazis, but their so called "philosophy" is that there are strong people and weak people, and that the strong are held down by the propaganda of the weak. And if you read the book, there's a LOT they left out. Like Cyclops, or the whole war with the so called "Slavic Mystics" which is half the reason the country is in such a state. They switched other things around, and made the Squire of Sugarloaf Mountain into a much smaller character.
well of course they aren't Nazis, but their ideology looks much like Fascism. You're probably right that the book is better than the film, in most cases that is true. But the way Costner made this movie, the Holnists reminds me too much of Nazis...too many paralell lines
This movie definitely deserved better! How This trailor didn't get people to wanna see the movie I dunno! Even with the bad reviews you would have figured that this movie would have made more money than it did!
