A.I. are the awesome-looking robots and an incredibly lame, drawn-out ending, I’d say a shitty movie.
Iron Man
Most Notable Addition: The wicked medieval version of the Iron Man suit Stark builds in the terrorist encampment.
What The Movie Would Have Been Like Without Him: Still awesome, but with far less potential for action figure branding and live action role-play.
John Carpenter’s The Thing
Most Notable Addition: Mutating human flesh at his own hideous whim, distorting the form of man to a degree never before witnessed on film and rarely matched since, and causing me to actually poop in my pants a little bit.
What The Movie Would Have Been Like Without Him: It would have just been called
John Carpetner’s The.
Batman Returns
Most Notable Addition: Making Danny DeVito look markedly more hideous than usual.
What The Movie Would Have Been Like Without Him: Batman and Robin. Or, alternately, the “classic” Batman, when the penguin looked like an oil baron and sported a monocle and purple cummerbund. I can’t decide which is worse. No, wait, I can:
Batman and Robin.
Galaxy Quest
Most Notable Addition: The decision to make Alan Rickman look like an alien by giving him a prosthetic forehead. As all
Star Trek fans know, this is the only true indicator of an alien species.
What The Movie Would Have Been Like Without Him: They might have given him antennae or claws or some shit, and that just don’t fly.
Jurassic Park
Most Notable Addition: That T-Rex that chases them in the jeep? Not CG. Winston actually built a remote controlled, two-story animatronic T-Rex. Which we can only hope he then used to terrorize everyone on set.
