I saw Buckaroo Banzai last night and I was disappointed.
What little I had heard about it intrigued me but often
I felt rather bored.  The dialogue at times seemed stiff,
partially I think because they were trying to make the
movie resemble a comic book but many times it just plain fell
flat.  The acting was not superlative with the exception of
John Lithgow.  He made a Dr. Lizardo come alive brilliantly.
I loved the scenes of the 8th dimension and wished there were
more of them.  If these folks make another movie, as advertised
at the end of this one, I will certainly give it a try.  I think
there is alot of entertainment potential and they may get improve
with the second film.  If you like Sci Fi spoofs be sure to check
it out.  There are many funny scenes despite my own personal
disappointment with it.

P.S.  I also wish there would have been more shown about
      Buckaroo's martial arts skill.
