Comedy

Some moviegoers were disillusioned with the blatant product placement in the movie, combined with the almost comical portrayal of some characters and of science.

Forgive me, but isn't this movie a comedy? Removing. 24.177.49.54 21:36, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Plot summary

The plot summary was very large indeed, so I've replaced it with an adequate but much briefer version from an older revision [1]. --Tony Sidaway 19:13, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Needs revising...

The plot summary --I didn't read further-- is a train wreck with its misspellings and run-on sentences. --Joe Webster (talk) 19:24, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Andromeda Strain

Maybe some mention should be made of how this movie is essentially a comedic version of the Andromeda Strain, considering all the identical plot points. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.225.39.207 (talk) 19:23, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's a good point! 75.48.21.125 (talk)

Rotten Tomatoes

Too much attention is given to Rotten Tomatoes. It is the only review mentioned and, frankly, I doubt anyone takes the site very seriously or bothers what sort of reception a film gets from it. 75.48.21.125 (talk) 04:09, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I know this is old, but to be clear Rotten Tomatoes is a review aggregator, not a single random review site. 75.76.162.89 (talk) 10:00, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Star Wars 3

Please note that David Duchovny was purportedly offered a role in Star Wars episode 3. Unfortunately some editors have decided the source is wrong and that they know better and it must have been Star Wars episode 2. They have not provided other sources.

They are not only ignoring the source (ABC news, repeating a story originally from Empire magazine) they are also making assumptions and doing their own original research based on the timelines. Big films are planned years ahead of time and an actor could be required to commit well in advance of filming. Evolution just happened to be one of the things that was keeping Duchovny busy, and really Star Wars has nothing to do with this film.

We need to follow what the sources actually say or remove this from the article entirely. -- 109.76.203.32 (talk) 11:06, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Michael J Fox

The article included an unsourced claim that Ivan Reitman wanted to cast Michael J Fox. I was unable to find a source to support this claim. I did find a source that says Ivan Reitman had wanted to cast Fox in Space Jam.[2] I removed the claim, but editors can always add it back if they can find a reliable source. -- 109.76.203.32 (talk) 11:31, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
