Land of the Lost - A Cool 1970's TV Series
Hey, I'm a kid of the 70's and I loved Land of the Lost with all it's Sleestack and Pylons. You have to remember that the effects and acting were well before Star Wars and Hannah Montana. We didn't know any better and thought the show was way ahead of its time.
Fast forward to 2009 and some yahoo executive thinks he can create a hit movie based on the Land of the Lost name. Add Will Ferrell, lame jokes and a story that has nothing to do with the original series and what do you have? A freakin flop!
Did someone really think the kids of the 70's were going to rush out and see this piece of junk? Did they think the Disney and Cartoon Channel kids of today would be rolling with laughter in the aisles? Boy were they wrong. The moment I saw the trailers to this movie I thought FLOP!! I wouldn't even rent this DVD on my worst day.
Now, why doesn't somebody take this story and create a GOOD movie for all of the LOTL fans? Think Jurassic Park, Planet of the Apes, a real attempt at updating something from the past. I would love to go see a true adventure movie based on Land of the Lost.
Taking a well known title and making a lame comedy out of it is such a waste of time. Will Ferrell? Pa-leeze.

mmm-hmmm. We Netflixed Season one or two and invited over friends who had memories of LOTL, like I did. We shared it with all of the children in the two families, ages 5-14, and everyone laughed together over mom's and dad's Saturday Morning fare.
Don't think we'll be gettin' together with this family and going to the movie version.
