Opinions

[edit]

"The film itself is something else: a tightly knit action packed and extremely well acted summer blockbuster."

This just isn't true, the movie gets a 5.3 rating on imdb http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120004/?fr=c2l0ZT1kZnx0dD0xfGZiPXV8cG49MHxrdz0xfHE9cmVsaWN8ZnQ9MXxteD0yMHxsbT01MDB8Y289MXxodG1sPTF8bm09MQ__;fc=4;ft=22;fm=1

It isn't a very good movie. The article reads as a commercial.

I liked it. --Dangerous-Boy 09:45, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Wether you people like or dislike the movie is not relevant. this is not a forum. -- Imladros (talk) 16:59, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Relic ver1.jpg

[edit]

Image:Relic ver1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Timeline

[edit]

The lead contains the following: This Peter Hyams-directed feature is based on the best selling novel of the same name and Reliquary which was released in 1998, by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. If the film is from 1997, how is it based on a book that wasn't published until 1998? The claim has been in the article a long time. Is it vandalism or just poorly worded? Not having read the books, I don't know what to make of the seeming contradiction. -Phoenixrod (talk) 13:34, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've changed the claim to 1997, per Reliquary (novel). -Phoenixrod (talk) 17:45, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Rilquary was the sequel to Relic which the movie is based. Relic (the book) was published in 1995 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.1.196.199 (talk) 23:10, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

The image Image:The Relic cover.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
  • That this article is linked to from the image description page.

Reference (?)

[edit]

Considering this is a rather old-fashioned monster movie, could the Blaisdales' name be a reference to 1950s monster effects creator Paul Blaisdell? -- Imladros (talk) 16:59, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
