Yes that is watchable. He hasn't done many bad films really. Kindergarten Cop is a bit poor but has its moments. Even Jingle All The Way is palatable. Actually I think the only film of his I can't be doing with is Terminator 2. Saw that at the flicks and I would have walked out about halfway through if I hadn't been with friends. Trite and predictable. Oh and True Lies is a bit shit too.
Lol... Bloody hell, sorry, I couldn't disagree more. T2 is one of my fav films! For me, it's up there with the original Robocop. The action sequences are superb, and for me that's what those films are all about. And I also rather enjoyed True Lies.Quote:

Yeah I know I'm in a minority on that one. I hate films where what I think is going to happen, happens. Like 'Gladiator'; there was a point where I thought ''Oh no, this isn't going to end with him having a fist-fight with the Emperor in the middle of the arena is it? Please don't let it be that shit.''Quote:

Lol - I getcha. That would kind of spoil it. However, for me when I'm so engrossed in the action sequences (and if they're done well and hold my attention enough), I tend not to think too far ahead about anything else!:)
Marco.
Yes, I'd agree with ALL of that!:DQuote:
