The technical quality [of the effects] has improved, but the inherent cheesiness of the saucer-eyed Sleestak remains intact.

I thought the scene where Will Ferrell and Danny McBride sing that famous Cher song while touching the vibrating crystal pylon was hilarious.

Probably the only one who thinks this movie was funny. This new version of Land of The Lost never takes it self seriously, unlike the original which was unintentionally funny, yet it had serious family drama themes. This new LOTL is better with Ferrell and McBride than it would have been as a family adventure with Bruce Willis playing scientist dad, Zack Ephron playing near adult son and Abigail Breslin playing the young daughter(would have been a money maker, though).

I think its better than the unnecessary remake of The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3.

I agree with this review but would have given it fewer stars. I made the mistake of taking my child thinking, since it was based on a CARTOON from my childhood, it would be safe. With Will Ferrell, I figured there would be a little bathroom humor but was completely unprepared for the depth of the raunchiness for a movie previewed for kids. This could have been fun and campy but it was HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE. Ferrell was wooden and the guy he plays of of (I guess the guy from Step Bros was unavailable and would have been equally unappealing) was WORSE! The fact that it came in THIRD in the summer on opening weekend against says a LOT! This is 2 hours and $20 of my life I want back. I was sad that Nimoy lent so much as his voice to his. Tragic!

Actually,

I really enjoyed “LOTL John. Not bad… could’ve
been a little better but the audience and I were
laughing quite a lot so, not a disaster in my
opinion. Overall, a nice time at the movies.
Also, I have to say… the FX were really AWESOME!

Not once did they take me out of the movie
experience. The only distraction (in a good way)
in the movie and making me wander about in my
mind was that Babe of an Actress… Anna Friel!!!
Smoking Hot in my opinion…!!!!

Man, that chic had my mind wandering a lot of
times… ha ha ha Beautiful woman…!!! Anyway,
had a good time and looking forward to Will’s
next movie.

Overall… I give it a 6 out of 10.

Have a great evening,

I agree, i wasn’t that impressed. I went to see it because i thought it would be good since it had Will Ferrell in it. But it just goes to show you the writing is key to a movie and the actor can’t do it alone. Movies like this turn me off from “blockbuster type movies.” I’d rather rent an indie film or go to the LA film festival. At least there, you get to watch a good quality movie for like 12 bucks or free.

Besides Up and Star Trek, yeah, not many films this summer aren’t too good. I liked Terminator 4, but everything else that sucked…well, sucked.
