In Reply to: Oddly enough, I think AI was a much better film. My impressions of Minority Report: posted by Audiophilander on June 26, 2002 at 10:23:26:

Hi your Auphulness,

Yes- the eyeball security is lax, but that wasn't the worst flaw (BTW, what was with that disgusting doctor- where was the revenge he was going to take out on Cruise ?).

The worst part was the K- Tel Slip 'O 'the Tongue- a- matic used to write the script:

Any person:

"Hello, I'm going to make a simple comment, which you will inadvertently respond to with a particular detail which only the real killer could possibly have known, so here goes- How's the weather ?"

Bad Guy:

"It's a bit chilly, but not as cold as that day I murdered that person in the icy waters of Lake Implausible while wearing a clown suit and using a Don Rickles mask- Doh ! I mean Oops ! Damn it- you'd think with me being such an intelligent statesman- like gentleman, who concocted this whole conoluted scheme under the noses of everyone, that I could keep my mouth shut for the duration of this boring scene. And don't ask me why I just didn't kidnap that person and kill her far enough away from the Precogs, my Lexus was in the shop"

And the happy ending ? Puke.

And the question of the Minority Reports themselves ? The implication for all those convicted ?

And the question of slavery in this "humane" society ?

And the title "Minority Report" has nothing to do with the plot - butI suppose the title Dumb and Dumber had already been used.
