You've got to be kidding

Rating: Null/10 (27 December 2000)

This movie was pretty awful. The robots with the tiny duck heads were pretty amusing, but beyond that, there was little to recommend this. Appalling overacting, a really hackneyed plot, and a very obvious ending. There are some superficial resemblances to the excellent "Blade Runner", but the only real connection is Brion James, who was excellent in the earlier film and terrible here. The film is more like a Saturday morning cartoon than a comic book. I got really sick of the endless gunfights in which Bruce Willis hits the mark with every bullet, but the bulldog/pig-headed aliens can't hit anything. And the motivations are inexplicable. Why would anyone take a payoff to help someone who is trying to destroy the universe? Where does Zorg think he's going to spend that money? And when we finally get to the climactic moment, and Bruce Willis says, "I love you", my reaction was, "Why? You've only spent about three minutes with her over the course of the film, she's only uttered about a half-dozen words that you were able to understand, and the one time you showed affection toward her, she pulled a gun on you."
At least I saw this on DVD for free.
