Michael Bay's The Island movie review Pt.1 by Scene-Stealers

Eric and J.D., two unorthodox film critics at Scene-Stealers.com (and contestants on VH1's 2007 World Series of Pop Culture as Westerburg High), review Michael Bay's action thriller "The Island," starring Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson. J.D. forgoes traditional rock fist fare and creates a new rating! (in Part 2 only)

Does Star Wars qualify as sci-fi? It's basically a big action movie series with fantasy elements.

[SceneStealers]

or.. a western in space!

"It didn't have any mythology"

That's such a problem in modern movies! I'm glad you guys tell it like it is.

[SceneStealers]

thanks-it might have been better if it had a mythology, but Bay was too worried about fitting his action scenes in there (which were fanastic, btw, just not at the expense of character)!

guy on left contradicts himself again and again. first its not sci fi and its a chase movie... then he moans about it only havin a 10 min chase scene from a 2 hr movie

dude stick to watchin and reviewing little miss sunshine.

In my opinion. this movie is 2 movies. the first half is most definatley a sci fi film and it is very enjoyable. Unfortunatley bay had to include unnecessary action in the second half. over all though it is a solid movie in my opinion

@EverythingSurvivor22 this was Michael Bay's, one and only, best movie.. The Rock is reasonable, and the rest are just horrible..

Michael Bay and sci-fi? When I think of Michael Bay, I think of action and big BOOM!

[JetBeetle]

Man, do they have a farm somewhere that breeds these movie review morons - they all look the same - Dumpy, uneducated and a beer within reach.

@MuDvAyNeXI I found my copy at Barnes & Noble but you cand find it on HotMovie Sale.com for cheap.

I loved this film.Yeah Micheal bay isn't the best at making a good story, but he can make some BAD ASS action scenes and I'm all for that.To me this movie is one of his best films.Surprised that it didn't do so well at the box office (32.5 million I think).It could have used some more action in my opinion.Overall great film.

@MuDvAyNeXI Amazon perhaps?
