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.Doug Schneider
