Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

mm-39 I can not watch a whole show. Fear factor is comparable to the old circus tent with people eating glass or swallowing swords. I can watch for 10 minutes then I say let's go to the roller-coaster. After years of watching big time movie stunts, fear factor is pretty tame. The show also tryies to sell sex with the deal, but like with stunts the public is over exposed with Virtora Secrits fashion shows and other low budget programing one is harding and the shock/sex factor is nil. The shows producers must save money on sets writers, and directors with Fear Factor. Little depth with the show, makes one wonder about the dumbing down of society. Where is the depth with people. Between the PCers and the Shock type shows there leave little room for any real art anymore. I notice a lot of the people on reality TV seem to be big ego attention starved individuals. I say do something better with one's time.

nouseforaname No one's called this show a masterpiece(or at the very least they shouldn't) but you're really shooting yourself in the foot when you're trying to criticize a show like this and in the same breath, trying to reinstate your heterosexuality with a bit of oh so manly "hey, don't get me wrong, I'm all for the swimsuit models and cheerleaders in skimpy outfits running in slow motion and what have not, I dig da ladies!"... bravo, just bravo...what was it about the "lonely guy in his 23rd story apartment building hoping to scope out some booty"?I thought so.

witch-6 I'm a 40-something mom of 3 kids and my husband and I love this show. I will admit to turning away during the gross food challenges, last year when I was pregnant with the twins I actually lost my dinner more than once just hearing about it. But the rest of the show rocks. A previous reviewer called it one of the worst shows on television but for those of us who think Masterpiece Theater is a good excuse to take a nap, Fear Factor is fantastic.Plus Joe Rogan is very easy on the eyes.

Countess_Olaf Okay. Back when I saw this show, probably about a year or two ago, it did seem pretty cool to me (around 13 years old, at the time). People getting put up against each other, and put up against some common fears that people generally have. Now it seems.. trashier. The tasks are becoming stupider, and less based upon fear than they are on strength and the willingness to degrade oneself. Things are beginning to get too repetitive (many of the tasks seem to involve dropping from the air and hitting a target on water, or eating various disgusting animal parts.) The tests are degrading, and at least twice in the last month (December 2002 through January 2003) I can recall people becoming physically ill and vomiting during the second stunt, as the sounds are played so everyone can hear and the host laughs at them. The concept of the show had been okay, but it is getting out of hand lately, and not to mention old. I think it is due time that NBC yanks this from its already declining-quality lineup.
