On my "10,000 Best Films" list it occupies the number 25,001 spot.
My opinion? Worthless piece of Hollywood trash. So bad I never watched it in one piece... which is a very significant statement. So it took four or five sessions to cover about 85% of that "film", at which point I gave up.

Don't hold back Victor, tell us what you really thing.
I look at things like Thelma & Louise in this way...it's directed by Ridley Scott who used to be a good director but in a different time. However, they bring him in to elevate Hollywood films above the "trash" category and into the "non-offensive waste" category. For the complete "trash" category they tend to like to hire Michael Bay.

  Riddley Scott a "good director"? Alien? Blade Runner? The Gladiator, for Pete's sake? Mama mia... Perhaps that silly idiotic super-cliche "Someone to watch over me"?
  OK, I'll give him a barely-passing grade for "The Duelists", but I think that is as high as he ever had risen, and even there, if not for Harvey Keitel with his silly attitude - it would be just another crappy piece too.
  Michael Bay? What, you mean you didn't like the "Armageddon" (he-he-he...)?
  But I would not put "The Rock" below that Thelma shit... At least in "The Rock" you get what you pay for...
  OK, OK, so I am still holding back...

    I do give Scott the big thumbs up for both Alien and Blade Runner! He created a vision with both those films that still holds up well today.

Four or five sessions? Paul D 14:27:44 06/01/01 (1)
Impressive attention span.

  ***Impressive attention span.
  Pretty good, huh?
  Well, you know how it goes... you have an idle evening... serf the channels... see it, watch it for awhile... lose interest... switch to something else... few days later - same thing... watch it from a different spot for few more minutes... lose interest...
  For comparisson, I watched "Dumb and Dumber" in one session... that one had *something* to hang my hat on.
