As someone who's worked on boats, all that "stuff" is pretty awesome engineering. I knew at least one captain who, when watching this film, basically expresses "I wish I had my boat rigged that well."
That opening with the Universal logo is actually pretty cool
This was before it became common to studios to tinker with their logos for certain films
The fact that it's common doesn't mean it's not good.
He didn't say it's not good. He pointed out how it was ahead of it's time.
McSquirly Oh.OK.o.o It sounded like:"This was before it became mainstream."..you know,as if it was a bad thing...;-P
They're called "smokers" because they use engines that produce smoke. Everybody else uses sails because fuel is too hard to come by. It actually makes sense.
And because "smokin's baaad, m'kay."
But actually yes, that does make sense.
Too bad they decided to bury any sense of subtlety to the name by having them smoke cigarettes constantly >_
Oh shit, you mean a character that was created for the purpose of being funny does stuff just for laughs... I am outraged. I will boycott him as well, how dare he?
They also smoke cigarettes
@@skunkman9815 but,,,they smoke cigs BECAUSE they're called smokers. It's a juvenile way of doing things.
A gang called the choppers because they ride chopppers...would also probably carry some for of machete or hunting axes just to compliment the name
Not gonna lie...I want this movie to be remade.
I want this movie to be like Fury Road, with it dealing with the psychology of a desperate and lonely man that can only push others away to protect them, shunned by society in a world where monsters constantly lurk just below the surface of the water and pirates hunt down those that aren't able to protect themselves.
Doesn't that sound like a kickass movie?
ImJTHM yes it does. We should band together and remake it! Lol
Why do you want it to be remade? So they turn it into another CGI-fest? The one great thing this movie has going for it is that all the effects were achieved with sets and physical props.
It would be a kickass movie... But they'll shoot it entirely on green screen, so then it will not.
ImJTHM MAD MAX: OCEAN COMMOTION!!!
jldgoods good idea, but if we do, let's use practical effects, and no shitty-ass CGI. And make the "STUFF!" better,
"one of the most non caring kisses ever given to a woman"
Only topped by:
"I love you wife."
The Mariner should have made love to Helen
Lmao
@@Charlie94781 It was implied...but a more explicit scene would go in the remake. Agreed. Instead of Enola and Helen watching the Mariner leave from the Mountaintop, It's the mariner taking Helen up there instead.
Interesting fact: The little girl that played Enola grew up to be Deb in Napoleon Dynamite. Fuckin weird...
What's so interesting about it? You did not know that she played in both movies (as well as many other movies) ? What a surprise!
@@witekm2152 no need to rain on the dudes parade lol
@@witekm2152 you seem fun.
@@witekm2152 You the smug fat little Simp at party's that think making bland Matter-of-Fact comments makes you seem cool to the chicks and intimidating to the guys?
No, you just come off as a jackass that can't socialize and just go with the flow.
Am I seriously the only one impressed by the practical effects?!
not at all. Doug even said that was one of the things he liked about it.
Theheroneeded Willette
The effects are fine. The only problem is...
Everything else.
Pacing and shots re wrong
You mean the stuff?
I guess not. The only problem is that effects can't replace storytelling.
The people who worked on Fury Road should be hired to make a remake of Waterworld.
DarknessIsTheTruth water world is mad max on water
Yeah, but they should do a remake of Waterworld. To make it... you know... GOOD.
You know the director of fury road is the same as the other mad max movies
Yes!
but keep this theme song.
Funny he can filter piss but not seawater
Well dumbass it depends on what kind of filter he was using
kk
solar stills are really easy to make too.
Especially since about 40% of the sea water is fresh water now, seeing as how the ice caps melted
Well, you are out in the wild, you gotta drink your own piss.
This isn't a "bad" movie, in my opinion. It was basically just an interesting and creative concept that was poorly executed. If they swapped a couple of pointless scenes in place with actual development and replaced Costner, it could have actually been cool.
Not just bad execution, there was also the constant reporting of the movie's budget and Costner's ego running wild
Tim Mackie Wait, the set actually gave in to Costner's demands, in exchange for his terrible acting? SERIOUSLY? I would just kick him out of filming if he asked for anything at all, because it should be a gift that he was allowed such a role.
This is basically an ok Mad Max movie with water
I was thinking something similar. with the style of the movie its basically Mad Max on opposite day.
Well costner himself was a producer on the film
"One of the most expensive movies of all time and it's just okay".. so it's Avatar without the box office.
Andrew Cuthbertson no Titanic.
Pretty much
Andrew W.C. Actually, yes. But it’s not okay. It’s complete crap.
@@ZemeckisTEN
Avatar or Waterworld? Because I can see why you would say that about both films
EdgyZiggy9538 Both.
That scene with the flare drop had me dying. "Oh thank god" said before he is blown to bits. I couldn't help but laugh
Def a genuinely funny scene (which was a nice surprise), his delivery was perfect too.
In fairness, a little kid acting as spokesperson for Samuel L. Jackson would have to be *the* most badass little kid ever.
He said that "HIS NAME IS THE LORD!"
Believe it or not, Samuel L Jackson was offered the role of Denis Hoppers character in this film but turned it down so that he could be in Die Hard with a Vengeance.
STUFF!!!!!!!
I can't wait for more NC he's so funny
Is made of other stuff.
Jetski Postman Stuff
Oh:(, it was my line!
one of my favourite reviews, one of those that REALLY drugged me into NC ^_^
STOOOFFFF
Don't care what people think about the film. It resulted in the best thing at Universal Studios. The Waterworld show is great fun.
And the Waterworld show is now really, really dated.
It's a classic and I daresay the greatest show on earth
Tell me a live show at a theme park that's better than Waterworld. I'll wait.@@iamciril
"Maybe if we had some FOOD!!" Can confirm, most girlfriends get like that if you don't regularly feed them.
Women want to be Fed well and Fucked well. That’s about it. Other than those 2 things they just like to spend$$.
Waterworld could have been a mad max movie but with water. It needs to be remade imo
No, remember when Mad Max got recast? Fans got so pissed off that some boycotted the movie
Yup, I actually enjoyed it back in the day. And The Postman as well sad to say.
Waterworld IS Mad Max in the water.
+Stoneysilence the postman was surprisingly good
Mad Max: Likeable hero, entertaining supporting cast, well crafted story
This movie just feels like a water based Mad Max
+Socrates of Athens Fair point, father of philosophy
Yeah, but done fucking wrong.
History Wonk pretty much
History Wonk i never saw madmax but if you liked mad max you should like this
History Wonk omg your right
This Aquaman movie looks weird.
BC Aquaman? I thought it was Namor. (Marvels' Aquaman)
Namor, a.k.a. the Sub-Mariner
thanks for the correction
Aquaman should be rated-R. But at the bottom of the sea where all the demonic killer fish are.
Namor came out before Aquaman, so Aquaman is DC's Namor ;)
You know, this movie could have been really good if they had written the characters better. The relationship between the male lead and the kid could've made this movie.
StormBerryMC Like a sort of ocean Mad Max!
That would be fuckin' awesome.
Yeah, that's what this movie could have been but we ended up with this shit instead.
Rampant Toydarian Mad Max: Ocean Commotion!
I loved everything in this movie, except the Smokers.
This needs a reboot. With better everything.
ya just replace all the practical effects with CGI. plus we can have a TV spot for Papa John's
Instead of a lackluster reboot of a classic we might actually get a good reboot of a bad film, that'll be a first.
ChaosSandwhich
funny thing was technically 1984 Ghost Busters was a "reboot" of the 1970's "The Ghost Busters"
MR.Chickennuget 360 I was more thinking of Total Recall and Robocop but fair enough
+MR.Chickennuget 360 The old Ghost Busters was a nearly completely different property than the 1980's movie.
I'm watching this while I am sick. I have a STUFF-y nose.
Booo
Yaay
Bu(Sorry for my bad English)
Oh brother. This guy stinks!!!
Jeff Doyen IKR, too bad he can't smell how bad he stinks.
Bungee Jumping became a bit of a fad in the mid-90's and every action movie had to have a scene of someone doing it. Note how GoldenEye came out the same year.
And bio-dome..
Maybe they're called smokers because they use engines that smoke
Don’t be ridiculous
Clearly this movie would of done better if only it had more FOOD!!!!!
Would have*
And I can't stand grammar Nazis who can't take a joke without having to personally grade and correct it to satisfy their need to prove to others their "superiority" when it comes to the English language.
But hey ho.
Judson Joist
Not trying to be mean or throw shade at anyone. But it only takes a few seconds to change something like that.
Judson Joist
No. What's it about?
The film's origins began in the 1980's as a Mad Max-inspired script by Peter Rader, which was rewritten several times and floated around Hollywood for years until gaining the notice of Kevin Costner. Costner was on the Hollywood A-list after a string of successes such as The Bodyguard, The Untouchables and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, but it was his success with Dances with Wolves where Costner directed, produced and starred that got Universal Studios to back Waterworld with a budget of $100 million, with Costner both starring and co-producing.
Troubles began when Costner took a heavy handed role in pre-production. He insisted on hiring Kevin Reynolds as director (who had previously directed Costner in Prince Of Thieves) and building a massive filmset off the coast of Hawaii (against the advice of Steven Spielberg, who previously dealt with troubles filming in open waters in Jaws). Even before filming began, the construction of the set and related costs was already threatening to drive the film over its budget. Joss Whedon, who was an uncredited script doctor on the film, described his experience as "seven weeks of hell" that amounted to taking notes from Costner without any creative input.
With filming underway, Costner went into full Wag the Director mode, constantly arguing with Reynolds over creative decisions. Costner also rejected Mark Isham's music as being "too ethnic" and hired James Newton Howard as composer. Jeanne Tripplehorn also got into arguments over the producers insisting she do a nude scene, though both parties compromised with a body double. Tensions between Costner and Reynolds came to a head around the midway point of filming where Reynolds quit the production under hazy circumstances; Whedon would later claim that Reynolds was actually fired by Costner for pushing back against his demands. Costner would take the reins to finish filming, though Reynolds would be given a full director credit for the final film.
Cost overruns caused the budget to spiral out of control, largely due to a hurricane demolishing the Atoll set, which required it to be rebuilt at the cost of $60 million dollars. As a media circus formed around the film, near-fatal mishaps on the set also drew attention; Jeanne Tripplehorn and Tina Majorino nearly drowned on their first day of filming when the trimaran they were on sank, Costner nearly died when he got caught in a squall while tied to the mast of his trimaran, and Stunt Coordinator Norman Howell got hit with compression sickness during filming of an underwater scene and was rushed to a hospital in Honolulu via helicopter. The press gleefully covered the chaos, referring to the film with mocking names such as Kevin's Gate and Fishtar, films similarly notorious for their messy productions. The film's final production cost was a staggering $175 million (and estimated at $235 million with marketing costs factored in), a record amount at the time, with Costner having put $22 million of his own money into the film.
The toxic press coverage arguably colored reviews of the final product, which was mixed to negative. While the film opened at #1 at the box office, it only grossed $88 million in the US and was widely declared a Box Office Bomb, though the film performed significantly better internationally, making $176 million for a combined $264 million in total. Waterworld, along with Wyatt Earp and The Postman, sent Kevin Costner's career into a severe downturn, though he would recover in the years ahead in smaller productions such as The Guardian, and even worked with Kevin Reynolds again for the miniseries Hatfields & McCoys. Universal theme parks would launch a wildly successful stunt show attraction based on the film, and the film itself later became a Cult Classic thanks to television reruns and a Director's Cut home video release.
I always liked this movie. And I liked the fact that the main character was an asshole, reminded me of myself. I think we've all met an incredibly annoying kid we wished we could throw in the ocean. I'm also a fan of all the "stuff" as you put it. I don't know why, I'm just into that sort of thing. Like, if I'm watching a movie with a giant robot some of my favorite scenes are all the scenes with the pieces attaching together and gears shifting into place and whatnot as the robot comes together.
So, in the future, Dr. Evil finally flooded the earth
I am sure it was Professor Chaos
With his "laser beam"
Killing himself in the process
Show some respect, it was clearly Professor Calamitous.
More specifically, King Triton's hatred toward humans was satisfied with the world being flooded.
This concept could be cool for a TV series (hopefully HBO) or a movie reboot directed by the same guy who directed Mad Max: Fury Road
I was thinking the same thing, actually. Ditch the "every movie in the 90s" story, give it to a modern action writer, and there's an incredible potential.
The whole thing would need to be rebooted starting with the "smokers." Their vehicles wouldn't run on gasoline that old. And their cigarettes would be too old and stale (if not turned to dust from natural decomposition) to inhale after all the millenniums it would take for evolution to allow the mariner to be born with the gill mutation. Not to mention the weird thing in the beginning establishing paper to be highly valuable, and then showing smokers smoking the cigarettes made of... wait for it... paper! Why aren't they using their nice, pure white, brand new _paper_ cigs to get what they want instead of terrorizing everyone? Is it because smokers love water sports? We also know plant material has a value too, so why are they burning up all this tobacco? And rowing an oil tanker with wooden oars... just LOL! Those wooden oars would be dust too.
Where does their clothing come from? How about the metals? What materials are they using if so much time has passed that people are beginning to evolve with mutations?
Hey, that's a pretty good idea
This concept is an anime.
I remember seeing an anime like this, where the earth was kinda just water and they lived on these big ships! It's on Netflix!
George Miller, and maybe. Don't forget Mad Max doesn't have sailing in it.
wait... people disliked this movie???
obviously
I never minded it
I saw it not long after the review came out, it's one of my favourite films!!
I loved it when it came out >_>
Yeah, it sucks.
20:23
They finally reach dry land and the first thing they do is play with water..... jezuz
Kekel Man it’s not like fresh water is hard to come by necessity.
It's not like they had fresh water all the time on the ocean, it's not like the most important thing all the time was dirt right?
They also had run out of drinking water on the trip,and now had acess to LIMITLESS drinking water
Wow 😂😂😂
Stockholm
I agree if u live in waterworld u should learn how to swim
exactly, I would think that would take priority over learning how to use the bathroom lol.
Well.... at least re-learning how to use the filter for bodily functions.
Though it could've worked if there was a valid reason she can't swim (like a disability or something)
And if you live in a glass house you should change in the basement.
Considering how Kevin Costner in one scene fights a giant sea monster for food, I can see how people would have a real fear of the open ocean and swimming. If enough time has passed for humans to evolve gills, I'd imagine all sorts of evolution would have happened in the oceans, especially once they had 99.9% of the entire world's surface available to them. I can see how sharks could grow back to the sizes of megalodons, and how saltwater crocodiles could evolve into large aquatic reptiles similar to plesiosaurs. At the very least I can see parents being afraid of their children swimming and the skill is only taught to people who reach an age of maturity.
i could see a good game coming from this.
mad max in the water
they couldn't even make a good mad max game.
Red Hood i think the thing that killed mad max game is it doesn't even have 10th of the action in the movie.
Wrong, Mad Max was an awesome game. The only reason I could see anyone disliking the game is if they only played it for a little bit at a friends house or they just don't like open world games at all because to actually play the game building up your Magnum Opus and respect in the wild lands is immersive and exciting.
Jake Jutras
fuck our opinions right?
Jake Jutras it's generic as heck,the combat is stripped right out of the arkham games (and been downgraded),and their's mostly nothing in it that hasn't been done before.
I remember as a kid, commenting on that scene where they say the girl can't swim... even as a kid I was like ... its waterworld man !
For all the flaws this movie has, I still quote one scene to this very day. When he drops the flair down the ship and the old oil guy sees it, and just says "Ohh thank god" as he blows up, its just perfect.
I love this movie. It's such a guilty pleasure, along with Costner's Robin Hood film which is ironically the same director as this film.
This,Robin hood,and The Postman, all good as far as i'm concerned, actually met Will Patton(General Bethlehem) when he had the misfortune of eating where i work, Nice guy,terrible taste in restaurants
When I first saw this movie I thought it was amazing that was maybe 4 years ago maybe.
Just so you know, that isn't ironic.
At least Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves had the advantage of both Alan Rickman and Morgan Freeman doing some very enjoyable turns to make it worth watching. Waterworld, sadly, doesn't have anything of the sort.
@@furioussherman7265
Yeah. It’s a pity that Freeman and Rickman didn’t get a scene together, in that or in any other film.
Really? You really never understood why they are called smokers? While most people are using sailboats, they drive gas powered jet skies that belch out... smoke. Not that hard to piece together.
But the fact they smoke cigarettes is the main point: smoking was just becoming unfashionable/socially unacceptable around the time the movie was made, so smokers=bad guys. It's a childish, crap joke, but Doug acting like it's a complete mystery where the name comes from is even crapper.
+Jakk Bomb because Doug is an idiot a lot of the times. like thinking describing an entire movies plot is reviewing it
+Graeme Evans if you dont like it, dont watch it. thats the way they internet works buddy, if he wants to use clips and run through the movies plot to show criticism of specific points instead of describing, he can. you dont have to view it.
Ronan D i never said i didn't like it, just sometimes h'e s an idiot and his reviews are more overview than review.
also, specific points that would be a review. but describing the whole plot and then say criticizing a little thing or making a joke about something, barely counts as a review. his videos are 90% describing, 5% jokes and 5% critique. if you don't like it then don't read my comment about it, thats the way the internet works buddy.
He also missed the fact that the girl can't swim is evidence of her origin of being born on dry land.
Nostalgic Critic can we go out for coffee some time, maybe catch a flick?
Did u just ask critic out on a date in the comments
What can Joshua Osborne say? He thinks the critic has an interesting pair of boots.
+Bit I wonder if they're going to get some FOOD!!!
hes not as cool/funny off the cuff. Hes a nice guy, but hes kinda annoying and talks way too much. He's also way too positive about stuff he likes. That doesnt sound like a problem i know, but he embodies those qualities to such an extreme that its annoying lol
RapunxelDelano Well, it may be a drive home.
We'll stop for a cup coffee, see where the night takes us.
dot dot dot.
"An Inconvenient Truth 2! Someone listen to me!"
This line is even funnier now that An Inconvenient Truth 2 IS an actual movie now.
But did you believe?
~I think not!~
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
*faints in horror*
I thought that name belonged to a movie about a veteran from Iraq that got shell shock and suffered from the consequences given a lot of veterans from that war are ignored except for those that are perfectly fine
Nobody got cereal
MANBEARPIG IS REAL!!!!!
You all should watch the diretors cut of Waterworld. It’s an hour longer and it fills many plot holes from the theatrical release.
Arrow release?
Review Rocky Horror Picture Show already!!! It's a majestic cult classic that needs reviewing!!!
Why it's good?
+The Gift Of Jericho I simply want to hear his real thoughts on it since I sometimes see him referencing the film.
These aren't his real thoughts. He has a show called Real Thoughts for that.
yeah
wonderful idea
Man, this was the very first NC episode I watched. You can say I feel... nostalgic, hehehe.
First one I saw was Quest for Camelot. Stumbled across it when I was looking for a clip from the film.
Same :P
BOO! * throws tomatoes *
Mine was Foodfight
Not a very good start....
Yugoslav throws grenade at yuor house for bad joke.
Waterworld deserves to be remade. My casting choices would be:
Main character: Jason Momoa.
Main bad guy: Michael Rooker.
Little girl: Regan Revord (from Young Sheldon).
Woman: Ashley Johnson.
"He comes across Hulk Hogans barber here," I didn't know Brutus Beefcake was in this movie
I'm looking at Wikipedia and apparently it cost 175 mil to make and made back 260 mil???
According to IMDB it only grossed 88 million. Less than half the budget.
Correction. That was domestic gross, not worldwide. 260 mil is correct. How is that a flop? Cuz it sucked?
+The XIIIth Scorch a "bomb" is one that loses a ton of money.
Idk what critic is talking about at all
Maybe they meant it in a domestic sense? Plus, it may have bombed in theaters and then made the money back on dvd and rentals?
+The XIIIth Scorch because a movies budget often doesn't include the marketing cost. which can be another hundred million. but also because the bix office take is split between the stuo and the distribution. so a box office take of even double the budget won't make the movie a profit for the studio and so its a flop
Doug, I think you missed the plot point that ppl don't know the world was covered with water. They think it was created that way. He's the only one who knows about the under water city's.
Seriously? Their is so much wrong with this I don't know where to begin.
+Red Hood Well, it could be taking place hundreds of years after the flood, and Costner's character could've been raised by some of last people who new about dry cities.
+Red Hood
Well I'm more than happy to discuss this with you and what you think is wrong with that premise. It would be known as a belief system and there's more than enough beliefs still held today that clearly show cultures and societies will hold on to a belief once it's been created, no matter how impractical or naively stupid it is..
most likely the movie is taking place some thousands of years later, as it would take a long time to melt the ice caps
1. It took long enough for humans to EVOLVE/MUTATE,forget what the ground/dry land is and yet it's not long enough for the smokers to run out of gas?
2. If they forgot what land is,how do they know where the resources they uses to built the ships they use came from,how do they know THE WORD dry in the first place,how do they know plants?
3. There NEEDS to be ground/mountains for the planet to mantain it's gravity(or so I've heard).
In 2017, there was another movie about a mutant saving an awkward girl, going on a journey, and eventually growing to care for the girl. This movie was called Logan (2017) and it was AWESOME!!!
Nice 👍🏻😂
I remember seeing the live Water world show at Universal studios as a child. The story was much better. It had Tiger Woods as the main villain who wanted to create a golf course.
Well. now we know that Costner is literally taking the piss.
Everyone says this movie needs a reboot, but i could have sworn it already did. They even renamed it One Piece.
Points out Costner is a bad person for tossing a kid in the ocean ( In a world where everyone can presumably swim.) Proceeds to take pleasure in watching same child be beaten repeatedly. Yup. (Still, I did like the review. )
There are deadly animals in the water. Slapping a child isn't as bad as endangering her.
I know this is the unpopular opinion, but I really liked WaterWorld
I also do! It´s a great Experience through a possible Future that really can happen, it has a great Atmosphere, good Action, a great Story and also awesome Costumes and Locations. As a Fan of postapocalyptic Films like Mad Max I really still enjoy this Movie :)
Madison Pollard lay off the grass
Dave Richards
Lay off the bandwagon.
@@EscalationTV Yeah it seems "cool" and unjustified to hate on this movie so much. I've seen way, waaaaaay worse B movies than this. Really?! It has it's cheesy moments and dialog, I'll give you that, but it's not as bad as everyone says.
Madison Pollard I did too, I personally saw Costner’s unexpressive acting as just part of the Mariner’s character so I didn’t really get bothered by it and I liked all the cool stuff that happened and the action.
Universal studios actually did do a Waterworld show. The only difference is that instead of whatever this thing's plot was, the plot was about Tiger Woods wanting to find dry land so he can create a personal golf course. That already sounds worlds better.
Maybe people hate mutants because they're all like him lol
I never get tired of the Goofy Holler.
18:16 " Oh thank God.'
Enough time has passed for people to forget what happened to the old world, mutants to evolve, and people to forget about dry land. But not enough time for the smokers to run out of gas, cigarettes, or oil. And no one questions where the airplanes, jetskis, and steel came from. That about sums up this piece of garbage.
I love these old Nostalgia Critic reviews...before he added cast members and skits. Straight to the reviews!
Pretty sure those "convenient" holes on the smoker ship were intended to be convenient , as in the smokers had already been shown to have cut holes in the side for entry/exit of smaller craft,like the hole costner drives the jet ski through. Adding a "ladder" of holes for reaching the main deck from the water seems pretty logical actually
The mariner isn’t bored, he’s just used to it. Hardened by the kill be killed life of this world.
Then why aren't his emotional outbursts better acted?
I loved this this movie as a kid, can't help but continue to love it
I loved "stuff" as a kid, so I guess i'd have loved it too if I had seen it back then.
Me too, loved the film since I was a kid
Same. It’s a guilty pleasure to me.
Nothing wrong with that. It's not a terrible movie.
I never had any interest in at as a kid, but that's because I've always found most water-based things boring.
5:48 -_-
Well technically (puts on nitpicking glasses) the Waterworld stunt show is at Universal Studios Hollywood, not Florida. The only water themed stunt show in the Orlando park was the Lagoon Live Action Stunt Spectacular which ran from 1990 to 2002 and since has been replaced with the Universal Movie Montage attraction. Waterworld still runs in Hollywood since 1995 after replacing the Miami Vice stunt show. Waterworld is also showing at Universal Studios Singapore as part of the Lost World themed area of the park where it shares space with Jurassic Park.
No matter what people say, this is one of my favorites movies ever
Absolutely agree!
20:30-20:35 Alright. Let's hope that island doesn't have any of John Hammond's dinosaurs. I mean to be honest, both film are universal, you never know if both film are in the same universe.
Scenario plays out like this.
Our heroes made it to dry land but see dinosaurs there. And they see the Jurassic Park gate. It would be called Water Park. Wait no that's a terrible title. Jurassic World. Wait that's even worst. Water Jurassic. Yeah that works.
I love the subtlety of that "Deliverance" reference.
I always wondered where they found fuel for the airplane let alone the motorboats.
Cessna's don't run on crude oil.
Also... Oil tankers don't have refineries on them, so how do they turn the oil into gasoline let alone airplane fuel?
Correction: normal tankers don't have refineries on them. We're talking about a world where people can modify their rafts to be heavy combat boats with a few level pulls. Also a world where piss-to-water machines can be made with total scrap parts by regular people.
Maybe the ship didnt transport crude oil, but diesel oil.
Michelle Lehto That may be HOWEVER... They never *show* the oil being refined into gasoline.
kommo1 Then how do the sea doo's run?
They won't run on diesel.
Well I think its easier to modify a jet boat engine to run on diesel, then on crude or heavy oil. The plane as well.
There was some modifiing. We only have to agree on which.
It's pretty strange how one of the biggest Universal duds was ironically the bases for Universal Studios most popular show attraction.
EDIT: 5:49 Ironically, it is a water show at Universal Studios!
I actually saw that. It was actually pretty fun and this is coming from a guy who never heard about it until then.
Well technically (puts on nitpicking glasses) the Waterworld stunt show is at Universal Studios Hollywood, not Florida. Waterworld replaced the Miami Vice stunt show in 1995. The only water based stunt show at Universal Studios Florida was The Lagoon Live Action Stunt Spectacular based on Miami Vice from 1990 to 2002 which was later replaced with the current projection show tributing tothe history of Universal movies.
Ironically, the word "ironically" doesn't mean anything anymore. Your lack of thought is why we toaster zero black niece.
George Miller needs to make a remake of this movie, imagine how kickass that would be!!
12:43 That's a actually a pretty impressive high note for a man. Can't believe I haven't seen this before, I was pretty sure that I've watched all of his old reviews by now....
I liked Waterworld

Mormont girl from GoT wants to say hello
i know it was a joke but still :P
The Stormfather She was just trying to trash talk Dennis the Smoker into fearing his nemesis enough to keep herself alive. Most kids panic & she was really annoying- but it worked since he believed he needed her as collateral & so she didn't end up permanently damaged or worse.
She ded now
4:35 To be fair, even if they decided to put his mutation to public use, they'd probably treat him more like a butler and he'd still have a lousy life.
I liked Waterworld. A lot. I appreciate all the "stuff" just like I appreciate the Millenium Falcon. Costner's emotionless acting fits the hardass outcast character. And I love large bodies of water and the idea of low tech civilization. Why the movie wasn't a cinema success is quite clear - not enough sexyness.
What "sexiness" did the two biggest blockbusters of the time, "Jurassic Park" and "Terminator 2" have?
xamanto it wasn’t just the lack of sexiness, it was b/c the main character was an inexpressive psychopath (not that I’d complain), the disappointing rivalry between him and Goldilocks, the uncomfortable stuff like selling women’s bodies and pedophilia, and other stuff that kept the film down in the end
I love this film too. But it sucks. That’s the end of it. There’s so many problems with this movie.
@@-.-.11it was very entertaining though
10:30, nope that's just Tig being Tig from Sons Of Anarchy.
"paper mache toilet seat" 😂
Ironic that the sequel to Inconvenient truth comes out 2017. You called it.
godzillavkk I pity you
Hurrah! Haroo! Love Blackadder references.
And the porpoise?
Hasn't arrived yet. We shall have to make do without him.
The Cinematic Mind Yes your highness your highness
you should compare teen titans (the good one) to teen titans go (the AWFUL ONE!)
it's time to stop
Ghost Tactician #ItsAFreeWorld
Some people also like the star wars prequels, and there are also one or two people who liked Batman and Robin, but that doesn't mean they're good. I do see the problems with them, but still like them. Everything has at least one problem.
Hes not a fan of teen titans
***** he doesn't just review things he's a fan of. What about the wiz? Or jem and the holograms? Or spy kids 3D?
100's of views later, and that Flipper noise when he jumps out of the water still makes me laugh my ass off. Every time.
On a related note, the Universal Studios attraction based on this ride is so awesome it routinely draws packed crowds despite being based on a 90's film with no sequels.😊
It's funny that the Critic mocks the movie for being a water show, considering that apparently the Waterworld show is the most popular attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood...
I've been to Universal Studios in Florida and yeah it is an amazing show to watch :)
True.
I liked the show too.
+Jake Jutras I thought the effects and stunts were good, but everything else sucked imo
Indi-Go! True enough... but that's the point of a live show like that is it not? It isn't a stage play it's a pyrotechnics show so if you expected a decent story that's your bad not the shows. It never set out to have a good story, just jaw dropping effects and stunts.
6:12 Yeah, that old man never thought of building a safety lock into his balloon machine
Hey, it's the only movie with a Virtual Boy game. Give it some respect
AForgottenEvent wow
True!
I remember playing a game on the Atari called water world but it was just like a package game with 2 others in the box for it called fire world and air world.
@@bromast50 So the Swordquest games.
@@ginnrollins211 yeah
So an ultra macho-man dictator chases a loner type in an armada of gas guzzling vehicles because the man is helping a young lady who he thinks is his property, and this entire chase is set in a barren post-apocalyptic landscape? Fury Road ripped this movie off
This movie was billed as Mad Max with boats originally...
@@mr.raslyon6626 it's like poetry it rhymes
Universal pictures presents: Stuff! The Movie!
Cringe
This might be an unpopular opinion, but I really liked this movie.
I kinda liked it too. It's a lot better with some friends and some snacks, tho
HellChuggapri1 Very few movies are not improved by friends.
Shane Hudson
True, but the level of improvement is quite marked for Waterworld.
This is my first time seeing this movie
it looks like a good film it actually kinda looks like the new Jumanji but it's on water
I like stuff, too.
Could never figure out where all the hate against this movie comes from. I mean, it's Mad Max on water. What's _not_ to like?
You'd think, if you had a map to dry land, in Waterworld, you'd attach to it one of those floaty things they put on boat keys. Or, in this case, TEACH IT TO SWIM.
Jurasic Park theme at the sight of dry land.
1:34 are you sure he didn’t take lessons from Drax?
You know if you look at it, it's like Mad Max but on the sea. This may sound crazy, but Universal can this be one that gets re-made or even a sequel? Give it the Mad Max:Fury Road treatment.
When a critic is confronted with his own unfathomably obnoxious voice, he is briefly stunned, and thus momentarily is vulnerable. 10:18 You see, they are totally unaware of how they sound, because denial of their own impossible levels of obnoxiousness is the only way they can find any level of respect for their work or, indeed, their self.
Their called smokers because their boats release smoke whereas another boats use oars and sails
03:30 gotta love that banjo playing 🤣🤣
The actor who plays pedo guy, Kim Coates, was in both this AND Battlefield Earth. Poor guy.
Lisa Z but at least he was in Sons of Anarchy
1:17 I'm Bear Grylls, and I drink my...maybe not a great metaphor.
2:08
WHOA TECHNOLOGY!
I've always loved the Nostalgia Critic. But I love him even more for fitting in Blackadder clips. That show is timeless and consistently funny!
In the original screenplay Enola wasnt an orphan, she was just being babysat while her mom goes to college..
You know I do like Nostalgia Critic but this review wasn’t well thought out...
Hey, at least he _explains_ his negative opinions.
