Summary: I LOVE this movie!
Review: When I was about five years old I saw this movie for the first time and I thought it was the scariest movie ever. I know now it's not, and it's not really that high quality, but I still love this movie. I love the Semi from Happy toys. Even now a days when I see a semi coming at me when I drive down the road, I can't help but look and make sure someone is in the driver's seat. Wierd, I know. Some like this movie and some don't, that's okay because not everyone has to like everything. Just don't make fun of those who like it. Some of us think it's a cool movie.

Summary: Worst movie ever made.
Review: Terrible movie. I've never seen anything worse. Even my 14 year old son, the most vilolence obsessed person on Earth, hated it. If it was an option, I would give it negative 6 stars. If you want a good action, get The Road Warrior. If you want a good car horror movie, stick with Cristine at least. But all can say is, it's a waste of time, money, and space on your movie shelf.

Summary: No where NEAR as bad as people think...
Review: There is hardly any quality whatsoever in this film, but that's exactly what King wanted. A junk movie. This one will shock you, it will gross you out, it will make you laugh, it will even scare you if you let it. This movie is fun!! The film is partly based on King's short story "Trucks"...a few years ago, another movie was made partially based on the same story...the movie even holds the title: Trucks. But if you thought Maximum Overdrive was terrible (why you'd think such negative things, i don't know why) Then definately stay away from the movie 'Trucks'...one of the worst movies i seen! This is King's only directing job, and I gotta take my hat off to his work. Direction and composition, etc. are great! Looks very much like the style of John Carpenter. My only beef is that King declined to do a commentary for this DVD. He already recorded one for the Laserdisc release...I guess Anchor Bay couldn't get the rights to use that one...King is a master of his craft and is a genius...His commentary and insight would have made this DVD worth buying.

Summary: If only all Stephen King based movies turned out this well
Review: This movie rocks so hard. Emilio Estevez is just a bad @$$, plain and simple. He's the hero that knows exactly what to do at any given time. This movie has the greatest story. The title cards at the beginning and the end of the movie are key. The ending summing up everything is perfect. The head truck, aka the Green Goblin, is menacing and is the greatest bad guy. The explosions are just plain awesome. Of course this movie could have ended as soon as they find the weapons if they just blew up the Green Goblin, but hey not every movie is perfect. My only question is where is the director's commentary on this DVD? I want to know all the juicy details of this fine, fine film. "WE MADE YOU! WWWWEEEE MAAAADDDDEEEE YYYOOOOOUUUU!"

Summary: MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE KICKS @$$!
Review: This movie rules. I dont know why some people hate it Stephen King rules and I wish he would make MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE 2000 Just to clear this up. Its not a comet, It was a UFO hideing behind the comet. So insted of the aliens coming on earth to wipe us out they turn our man made devices on us. Any thing with power. Over all its a great thrill ride. With plenty of action. Its not a movie to be looked at to seriously like small solders. Its a great movie but its not possible. So when you watch it dont think of how much it cant happen just let your mind go and enjoy the ride. Stephen King is the man! the only problem I have with the DVD is that its not the fully uncut virson :-( and they need other stuff like behind the scenes and stuff. Rent MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE and see for yourself dont go by these reviews!

Summary: Maximum Overdrive
Review: Leonard Maltin has it right, Maximum Overdrive is stupid and boring, at least. But I would go further, it is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Teenagers may enjoy it though!

Summary: maximum goodness
Review: Well, I have to say after all these years this movie is still as cheesy good horror fun as I remember when it came out in 86, or was it 87? Whatever. This looks fabulous, and the sound isn't all that bad either, considering it's a digital 5.1 remix of the original soundtrack. Very heavy in the center channel, but hey Stephen King writes books, we can't expect him to do everything as good! I suggest the chapter "squashed by the steamroller." If you havent seen it, you can probably just imagine. I highly recommend a good buzz and a few buddies to boot with this one.

Summary: Maximum overdrive is maximum pleasure
Review: This excellent adaptation of the Stephen King novel leaves all of the movie-goers senses in pleasure. This is a tale of a world where the machines turn on their creators. Emelio Estevez plays an exciting role in a film that brings the adventure to the screen.

Summary: maximum overdrive
Review: This is a really weird picture depicted from one of Stephen Kings short stories. It all starts with a meteor going over the earth and making machines go all to hell by themselves.It was a pretty good picture for King, however I thought that some of the parts in the movie drug on forever.Nonetheless,i will recommend it to horror movie buffs. Also the music by AC/DC fit the storyline perfectly.
