| WATERWORLD is definitely a bad hair movie. Dennis Hopper has none,
Kevin Costner's is thinning, and Hopper's assistant thug looks as if

| There's a lot of hype about how expensive this movie was, but I don't see

| I enjoyed it. It's more than possible you will too! If you like action

| For its first half hour, WATERWORLD looked as if it might be a
decent movie. Huge sets and big action sequences offered some hope
that this film would not be the total disaster many had predicted.

| There has been so much bad press surrounding WATERWORLD, that it
seems to be one big scandal after another. But if you let this deter
you from seeing the film, feel ashamed--you're missing one hell of a

opening night. I too had read all the articles about this expensive
epic, about all Kevin Costner's problems with it. I was expecting one

covered by water, and everyone is left to fend for themselves as
