Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about Hollywood clichés. Were there moments in the film you've seen before, such as the Schwarzenegger-style catch phrase uttered before blasting an enemy? How many other movies can you name that use the same conventions? What's the appeal of using clichés rather than inventing new ideas for action movies? Is it just laziness? Or do audiences respond positively to the same familiar themes?

    I rate this title off for age 16 and give it 1.0
    My concerns are:
    • Excessive violence
    • Inappropriate sexual content
    • Inappropriate language
    • Negative message

    Another inappropriate movie.

    PG-13, huh? Believe me when I say, this movie is not for kid's. A women tries to undress herself in front of the main? Disgusting. The villain is extremely androgynous, and he and the people surrounding him wear reveling outfits when they are first debuted. This film is not for kids.

    Grate Movie!!!

    I love this movie, but the TV show, StarGate SG:1, is better, because it's lounger.
