Waterworld is a decent film. Lets get that out of the way. It's well acted, good design, reasonable script and even Dennis Hopper delivers in scene chewing ridiculousness.

For once, Kevin Costner's distance performance suits the piece as a "not quite human" protagonist.

In fact, the whole movie plays out really well and it's a good romp, if not always that fun.

Oddly, critics slated this film when it came out, and it had the reputation as a massive box office flop. Reality is, it did very well at the box office. So ignore the critics and take a dive (see, I knew I could get a pun in there somehow)

AWESOME!

This film was one of the only films i can remember watching as a young child of around 10, and remember every part from. it has just the right mix of ambient calm music and settings to it, blended with fast and furious action that is believeable. the setting is charming to look at, as was the main female character! the main antagonist of the film is cheesy but not so that it makes the film bad; there was no bad acting in this except for possibly the old gimmer who drives the airship, as he become comical too much and detracts from what is mainly an engrossing film that puts you in it. overall i marked it 5/5 top marks, and i regularly watch it. should have been at least as big as madmax was, fact.

I was wondering when they will do an official soundtrack from the movie to buy on Itunes?

its getting on a bit as movies go but its a classic lol i loved it, just a strange action out of the way kinda film, ruthless fighting ;)
