Bravo!
This movie was amazing.. It had some weak points in the plot and maybe some scenes that could have been cut with no effect on the movie.. I recently purchased a DVD player/ this movie on DVD. Having seen it originally on VHS, I look forward to seeing it in the cleaner, sharper picture that DVD offers. The direction was excellent, and several of the scenes were (for a lack of a better term) really COOL. What most people don't realise is that you have to suspend belief somethimes to truely enjoy a movie. If you don't, you'll spend so much time nit picking through the movie, you'll never get to enjoy what you paid for. After all, how many of the "beloved classics" have scenes in them that seem a bit far fetched? (A being picked up by a tornado and dropped on a Wicked Witch in Munchin Land?) In cocnlusion- good movie. If you have a DVD player, buy it. If not, get the VHS cuz' it's worth it.
