Mike Massie Gone With The Twins It's too limited in scope to be unforgettable, though its production design and set decorations are more than adequate. Rated: 6/10 Aug 31, 2020 Full Review Antonio Lara El Pais (Spain) Robert Clouse directs the story in a lineal way, paying too much attention to the action and mechanical aspects, and leaving the more abstract or humanist considerations to the side. [Full Review in Spanish] Jul 18, 2019 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Aug 11, 2005 Full Review Moriarty Ain't It Cool Movie Reviews Rated: 4/5 Jun 25, 2005 Full Review Robert Roten Laramie Movie Scope Rated: 1/5 Dec 29, 2002 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews This film should have been entertaining, but instead felt tiresome.

thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/10/25 Full Review NiB Y A personal favorite of mine. This is a Sci-Fi, dystopic movie which stars the magnificient Yul Brynner. My biggest hickup with this movie is that the pacing is definitly off and doens't give Yul much screentime; the ending also drags on for a bit too long. But everytime Yul appears on screen, is much cool and appreaciated, with solid and fine action. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/24/24 Full Review Audience Member Intriguing premise and two great leads hampered and hamstrung by production values only slightly better than the original Star Trek series. This should have been so much better than it is. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member If you like dystopian adventure flicks, this is certainly worth seeing. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review ashley h The Ultimate Warrior is a disappointing film. It is about the near future where the population of New York has been decimated by a terrible plague. Yul Brynner and Max von Sydow give terrible performances. The script is badly written. Robert Clouse did a horrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review delysid d i wouldnt say hes the ultimate warrior, but he was a good one Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/17/17 Full Review Read all reviews
