Maximum Overdrive

Pros: Actors, different type of movie.

Cons: None really

The Bottom Line: Just a good movie that is a bit different from the others.

Review: Let me say that my movie reviews are my opinion only. I tell you what I liked and disliked about
the movie, but in the process of that, I do not give away the entire movie.

Movie : Maximum Overdrive, Who Made Who?

Film by :...

Pros: Unique theme, entertaining, well put together.

Cons: Some unreal events.

Review: When I was little, I remember being closely attached to this movie. I think the reason might have been because I liked trucks in general. I liked their "superiority" over any other vehicle and have just been interested in them. It used to be...

Pros: Fun horror flick with a realistic cast

Cons: At times you root for the trucks, gory at times.

The Bottom Line: It has a campy storyline that gives you a laugh now and then. But tends to keep you sitting on the edge of your seat.

Review: Before I tell you about this movie, I've got to tell you about where I live. I live in a truckstop town. Not one truckstop, but six truckstops all within a mile radius of each other. The Census Bureau counted 157 residents. But on any given day, in my...

Pros: Classic sci-fi format. Thumping soundtrack. Appalling acting.

Cons: You need a few beers to reall appreciate this one.

The Bottom Line: Get a few beers in on a Friday night, curl up on the sofa and watch. You won't be disappointed.

Review: I really can't explain why I like this movie but every time I see it on late night TV, I have to watch. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't buy it. However, it has a real fascination. From the moment the thumping AC/DC soundtrack starts, you can't look away....

Pros: Woman gets killed M60, AC/DC song's, some funny deaths, and the green goblin truck!

Cons: No chase scences, could have 1 more AC/DC song, and the woman!

Review: The Stephen King film is a big flop not only to critics but to audience and the box-office! But for this movie, King made a horror comedy! At first when I heard about it I thought it was gonna be 'Fast and Furious' meets 'Christine' movie. But it was ...

Pros: Some pretty funny, darkly macabre bits.

Cons: The story is a dumb as a sack of hammers.

The Bottom Line: Perhaps King's work is just not destined to work on the big screen, if even the author fails at it. But then, perhaps he's just not a good director.

Review: Man, you have to feel bad for Stephen King. For years other directors have been ravaging his works in sub-par efforts that frankly blow (save for the very few rare exceptions). Sick and tired of getting mangled, King decides "Fine, I'll show you all and ...

Pros: The beginning is horrifyingly funny.

Cons: It's a bad movie. I know it.

The Bottom Line: A Golden Raspberry award winning performance from Estevez in this epic story of man going against machines and losing terribly.

Review: My husband normally doesn’t share my fascination with the horror genre so I was surprised this evening when he selected a film from Fearnet On Demand menu called Maximum Overdrive. I happily sat down beside him and began watching this eighties ...

Pros: Interesting and inventful storyline.

Cons: Too bloody!! I prefer this on TV, not DVD.

The Bottom Line: Get out the cheese, it is time to watch a Stephen King story-made-movie. Every adult should see this one once.

Review: Yep, King has done it again. Another good story made into a floppy cheesy C-rated movie. Okay, I have to say, outside of the disgusting amount of blood, this was not too bad. I am a little shocked that Emilio of all people would partake in this one, ...

Pros: A fair movie

Cons: None

Review: Maximum Overdrive is directed by one of my favoritewriters, Stephen King.Now while I did not feel thiswas a great movie when we first rented, and watchedit, I felt it was mildly entertaining and did enjoythe movie.The idea of machines, cars, trucks...

Pros: story line

Cons: time and theory

Review: i have to admit it was a little boring throughout the show. it did , in my opinion , have a good idea to propell the story line. i think it could have been done better than it was. it could have been longer perhapse... . this would open the story up...
