Rating: Summary: Fun fun fun Review: I also HAVE to give credit to the wonderfull little killer truck. Ain't it just amaising how that little two pounds, ehm... or maybe one and a halv pounds truck just cracks the guys scalp open? Well... I'll surtainly look out the next time I vissit a toy store. Who knoes... In the next trucks movie, maybe we'll see a kinderegg car run over the white house. Ps: If you can't cope with annoying ends, don't watch this movie.
Rating: Summary: Like Maximum Overdrive, toned down. Review: I don't agree with most people about this movie. I think that it was a toned down version of Maximum Overdrive, but still worth watching. If a person is completely into possessed inanimate objects, this is definitely a movie worth watching.
Rating: Summary: Lukewarm Review Review: I guess I didn't think this movie was as terrible as everyone else did. The blood and gore reminded me of strawberry pie, and the part with the mail carrier was incongruous, but it kept me interested. I think the movie should have tightened in on the cafe and dropped the other scenes, except for the junkyard scene. The acting wasn't bad; the young boy was actually pretty believable. The special effects stunk, but I didn't hate it. It's not a movie I will watch often, but it was okay.To tell the truth, the three stars were for the ending. (No spoilers, don't worry!) Suffice it to say it wasn't one of your Hollywood "and they lived happily ever after" endings. I liked that.
Rating: Summary: The second horrible remake of this great Stephen King story Review: I know: "what?", right? It's a straight to video flick I don't want you guys to accidentally pick up on a boring night. The story is about trucks that, for whatever reason, come to life and trap a bunch of rural folks in a diner. It's based on a rather excellent Stephen King short story, and is the second film version of this tale, he first having been the horrific "Maximum Overdrive", which King actually directed, as I recall. Anyhow, this version [is] even worse than the original and its mindboggling what can get made into a film these days. Yeah, I know it's straight to video (...). I think I lost some IQ points when the chemical spill truck turned on its generator for the spill suits, pumped it full of air and had the disembodied suit then axe - AXE - the driver of said vehicle. It's not even one of those movies that you watch to see how bad it's going to get (like "Leprechaun in the Hood"). You can actually feel the seconds of your life wasting away into nothing.

Rating: Summary: I loved it but wished there was more to it. Review: I thought these two films were great, I would love for my car to come alive, but not to kill. I mean these two movies took me away from reality, I love scifi. I am a big fan of machines doing things on there own because it's impossible. My favorite scenes are, the trucker who got trapped by his own rig and it drove off, the scene where the guy fixed a truck and then it killed him, and my all time fave was the scene with the chemical guys and when they get killed by there own chemical suit filled with air, then the truck drives off with the guy dead in the driver's seat. The air filled suit coming to life to kill was AWSOME!!!!!! I like these because there are diffrent, you don't see things like this everyday, and I SO HOPE THEY MAKE ANOTHER ONE!!! MY ONLY WISH IS THAT THEY PUT CARS IN IT ALSO, NOT JUST TRUCKS, AND MORE DIFFRENT SCENES OF MURDER BY MACHINES PLEASE. Thank you
Rating: Summary: HORRORIBLE Review: If you are looking for comedy, this horror movie is the place to find it. This movie is based on the unbelievable premise that trucks and ultimately all machinery are out to destroy the world that the humans have neglected. This movies bad writing is only out done by its bad acting and lack of imagination. Even with such an elaborate, shock laden script this movie follows the formulaic horror movie motif and direction. It is an absolutely incredible movie if one is in the mood to decompress and laugh about the zanier side of the film world. As a horror movie this picture lacks luster and just about everything else needed for it to succeed. It is, however, a scream to watch, only not the scream that was intended by all involved in the project.
Rating: Summary: On the highway to hokey-ville! Review: Make no mistake, "Trucks" is pure bad horror movie. It's so awful, and so stupid, it's a pure delight! Timothy Busfield ("thirtysomething," "The West Wing") is the only big name in the movie, as a gas pumper who's moved to a small town with his son. Busfield's Ray and a host of local yokels (a nose-pierced teenage girl, the old war veteran and diner cook, a coupla hick truck drivers, a mystical ex-hippie, the strong female presence, a bickering married couple and an Army guy who served in Area 51) are trapped in a diner as a bunch of trucks without drivers storm the place. It's best to watch this movie with a sense of humor, and surrounding yourself with a bunch of sarcastic friends will help even more. It's pure hoke, and it isn't hard to imagine Stephen King groaning in his seat-- or maybe even guffawing as "Trucks" takes cinema corn to an all new low. It's breathtaking in its sheer awfulness. Thing to watch for: The little toy truck with big plans for an innocent mailman. Only problem with the movie is that this truck shows up only once, but maybe that's just leaving room for the sequel. We can only hope.
