A comedy and Will Ferrell, I thought would ruin the movie for sure! I see almost all reviews are bad. However, I was pleasently surprised. I really enjoyed the movie! Not only did LOTL stay true to the series and the characters in the series, but it added bits of adult humor that made it enjoyable for adult audiences also!

It is a bad idea just like Speed Racer, The Honeymooners, Lost In Space was a bad idea. Reason: Most movie-goer's don't really care about 20+ year old series that were easily forgrotten 5 years after they stopped airing. It should be more than obvious to anybody with gray matter that taking a 34 year old children's series that has a meger handful of fans and twisting it around to where it's not for kids anymore is doomed to failure. Oh and next time you respond to me, at least have the courtesy to not put words in my mouth, i never said: "Land of the Lost remake is automatically destined to be garbage" I said that taking a series that few remember and changing it into something else sucks, and evidence suggests that this is true. Wrong.

If we ignore these kinds of movies do you think they will go away and stop getting made? This classic Saturday morning show deserved better. Will Ferrell would be better suited playing the voice of Grape Ape in a CGI adaptation of Grape Ape and not the father / role model of persons (Marshall family) trapped in another time / world. It just goes to show you how far we have actually gotten away from family values or basically values of any kind. Back then you had caring, concerning and thoughtful shows that actually try to teach us something to the crude, unfunny garbage most Ferrell movies represent today.

This isn't an intrinsically bad idea, they just happened to make a horrible movie. To state that a Land of the Lost remake is automatically destined to be garbage is silly. Wrong.

I guess nobody posting here remembers "The Honeymooners" remake... Oh and John, just because somebody called you out doesn't mean you need to act like a twat, even if he was wrong. So A+ on seeing a movie that anybody with a brain knew was going to suck and a huge F- for lack of maturity and tact.

It did feel long, but that was only after the credits started to roll and I checked the time. I give it a 6, if you have nothing better to do and can get to it before noon, handle it. just saw it yesterday, it had its moments, lots of good one liners and definitly worth every penny of the six bucks I paid to see it.

Also, I second the request from Slumdog on Wolverine, T4, and Angels & Demons. I was going to point out what McBain said, but he did that already.

Good thing the second movie was worth putting up with Will Ferrell, who has got to be one of the most annoying try to be funny comics out there and this film just added to his resume of crappy movies. Wouldn't even recommend waiting for this one to come out on DVD, save your money. This Movie Really S**ks!!!
