My favorite Leone film, and quite possibly the greatest gangster movie ever made.

These ratings are nonsense; an actor lights up a cigarette on screen and suddenly the movie gets an R rating.
Profanity, as well.
Nudity, also.

R - Restricted - One Under 17 Admitted with an adult over the age of 18.

NC-17 - No One Under 17 Admitted

I’d personally go with Paris Hilton.

Why is Seven considered overrated? Is it just that whole "I didn't care for it, but everyone else loved it, so the movie must be overrated" trope?

I forgot Find me guilty, but Diesel absolutely devoured that role; I was quite taken aback.

He’s just as impressive as Riddick.

Iron Man 2 is essentially just a trailer for Thor.

TROLL

Near Dark is excellent

A top-tier film. Someone put it perfectly—it’s basically the Taxi Driver of the nineties.
D-FENS !!

"Fantastic, another absolute idiot."

A top-tier film.

Robert De Niro appears in every film following Heat.

They’re definitely more mature, though maturity doesn't always equate to quality. The first film offered a gritty, grounded look at a tactical unit dismantling drug rings in the slums, whereas the sequel shifts to an office-bound struggle against the system. That whole "one man against the world" trope feels a bit tired and unoriginal to me. Honestly, I found the execution in *The Wire* much more compelling.
Solid enough. 7/10.

Must they look like they were plucked straight out of the 24th century?

Who on earth are those idiots in the background??

On what grounds would you even complain to anyone? Based on a mere subjective impression? Surely, someone out there finds that film excellent. It’s akin to visiting a museum to see Picasso's Guernica, deciding it isn't to your taste, and then demanding a refund for your admission fee. Film is art, and we know how that works—certain works are universally acclaimed, like Blade Runner, while others appeal to a more niche audience, such as Tron: Legacy.
Next time, perhaps avoid going in blindly and expecting a feature to mirror a two-minute trailer. Besides, you have Rotten Tomatoes at your disposal to check the critics' consensus.

I find it rather curious that no one has mentioned him yet :

Alien 3 would have been an absolute disaster if Fincher hadn't killed off Biehn and Herniksenni right at the start.

I don't think I've ever witnessed such a dense concentration of clichés in under sixty seconds.
