The Emperor's New Clothes

Rating: 1/10 (29 January 2017)

Remember the story of the king who got ripped off by the tailor who said he had "An expensive, exquisite material" that ONLY INTELLIGENT people could see? The king, not wanting to appear stupid, paid dearly for his new robes. The story spread through the town, and when the townspeople saw their king marching naked, THEY did not want to appear stupid, and all admired him. Until a little child pointed at the king and cried"He's NAKED!" The child's honesty made everyone, including the king, realize they'd been tricked by their own EGOS. The people who are writing these GLORIOUS reviews-what are YOU on? I'd like some. if you're a parent and your teenager or a little older says they liked this, you failed in film education. I know today's kids don't like black and white films(that breaks my heart) but if YOURS do, start with "The Day The Earth Stood Still"-the original, not the Keanu Reeves yawnfest. Believe it or not Charlie Sheen made a great movie called "The Arrival" and it was a great movie-we thought this boring, pretentious bore was a remake. Sadly, no. Close Encounters of The Third Kind is still the gold standard."Fire In The Sky", a supposedly true story(they convinced ME, scary stuff!) E..T.,for gods sake, had heart, humor, tears, and believability. Show THESE to your kids, or better yet, watch WITH them, and remember what Hollywood COULD do. A lot of people talk about "Independence Day", but it was SO disappointing, one minute serious, the next minute, childish humor. And the original "War of the Worlds" - the Tom Cruise remake was pretty frightening too, but a little too much of the screaming little girl and disgruntled son. This movie was SO BAD, I had to take an ADDERAL to stay awake, and I NEVER fall asleep at the movies. There's NOTHING HERE, folks, no matter WHAT the king says he's wearing. I read 13 pages of the reviews here, and the ones who gave it a good rating were AS BORING AS THIS MOVIE. "Look how intelligent I am, I really understood what the message was. I could be the next Elbert!" Uh, no, no, and DEFINITELY NO. I sure do wish Roger were here, he would have warned me. If you really feel you must see it, WAIT UNTIL ITS ON T.V. AND SAVE YOUR MONEY.(And time, because you'll turn it off, pretty darn quick.) I wish I could have. Linda😀💩💩💩👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
