That he got to nail Diane Lane for so many years is just beyond unfair.
I agree almost completely. The movie of his that I enjoyed was Greystoke.

The first third of Greystoke is decent, and all the stuff back in the U.K. is bullox.

I always though Christopher Lambert was kind of awkward and creepy but it kind of worked for him in the Highlander series.

But as an action star, he don't rate at all.
Not trying to do anything here but point out something to you...You replied to another thread titled "movies that keeps you in ur seat" and stated that you never left a movie no matter how bad it is. Yet here you cant sit through certain ones? Funny as it seems I am with you on the never walking out on a movie, no matter how bad it is including the Mummy films. Wondering where you really "sit" on this topic?

Dont get me wrong, I really dont mind Lambert. Highlander was a great movie, Mortal Kombat 1 was great. Mortal Kombat Annihilation was an abomination, I fear MK: Domination will be equally as good.

Goodness, I didn't see those stupid Mummy flicks in the theater. What kind of a sucker do you think I am? I've never walked out of a movie theatrically, no matter how awful. But *****, I'll change the television channel easy.

Glad I could clear up such a complicated and controversial topic.

Lambert wasn't in Annihiliation, if you didnt meant that i apologize in advance.
I have high hopes for Domination, hopefully they'll learn from the second one and make it more like the first. And yes I like Paul Anderson for directing MK. And no I haven't seen Soldier.

Toshiro Mifune was the first person who came to mind when i saw this but I felt reluctant to call him an action star by today's standards. Eh what the hell, he is one of the greatest actors period.

he wasn't even the guy in the second Mortal Combat thought was he??? It didn't sound or really look like him at all? Does anyone know, cuz I think it was a different actor than Lambert in the second MK movie??

I was wondering why no mentioned Stratham. He is just so calm and collected while kicking in people's faces. I haven't seen Crank yet, does anyone have a review?
