I first saw this movie at a midnight screening, opening day. Initially, I thought it was pretty awesome. It effects blew me away, but upon further viewings the effects fade and you start the hear the terrible dialogue. My least favourite character, Dusty.

The original that kicked off the series that will be going to least 6. For me, it’s a toss up between this one and the second film for my least favourite in the series. It’s not to say I don’t like it, just not as much as the later ones. The action is top-notch, but the …

Easily in my Top 5 action films of all time. This was early in Michael Bay’s career and this is where he peaked.

Bloodsport as a fantasy, it’s better than you’d think.
Classic Sayles script, Chris Cooper is sublime.
