Review of Waterworld (1995) by Brendan D — 15 Jun 2011
Dennis Hopper, FUCK YEAH! He truly makes this movie EPIC. Kevin Costner, not so much. There's no believability in that man! That's the one problem I've always had with him. It always feels like he's acting.
He's like, "Hi! I'm KEVIN COSTNER in WATERWORLD," not "I'm a fucking mutant fish who sails around the world and fucks bad guys up." He needs to become that mutant fish, or at least I need to believe he is, which I don't.
It's just Kevin Costner in a really expensive movie. Which I totally don't mind, by the way. The man is pure cheese! I love it. He always makes me laugh. I know it's not intentional, he probably feels like a real hardass for doing shit like this, but that's what makes it so perfect.
I am laughing at him, not with him. Even during those lame jokes they write in for him, I'm still laughing at him. Kevin Costner is probably my favourite actor in that respect. He's just damn entertaining! But yeah, Waterworld.
......basically The Road Warrior on jet skies. It's actually pretty neat, I'm not gonna lie. The concept of the whole world being covered by water is interesting enough for a solid foundation of the film, oh, and did I mention Dennis Hopper? BADASS.
