Movie Review

Rollerball is another perfect example of a film that doesn't want to live up to expectations. Delayed for over a year, ranging in at $80 to $100 million in budget, Rollerball was destined to be a stinker long before it hit theaters in the February of 2002. As I popped this disc into my DVD player, I had a thought somewhere in the back of my mind that maybe Rollerball could at least serve up some mindless thrills, but, sadly, I was mistaken.

What a disappointment!This is a horrible Saturday morning cartoon KIDS movie.The original is the movie you REALLY want to see.It actually has realistic violence.In one part of the remake they show a guy get smashed in the face with what is supposed to be a steel ball,no blood!Not even a broken tooth.James Caan plays Jonthan E in the original surrounded by a tough looking group of MEN,the new movie features a bunch of Hollywood boys and girls.Totally horrible don't waste your time.Get the original.
