Why the hate? Because of the anachronistic elements or the political commentary being seen as anti-American? Or both?
I was expecting a dumpster fire but this movie's pretty good. Ed Harris is great in the lead of an idealist gone mad (as well as a dry parody of the learned men of the age). The battle scenes are well staged and often darkly comical. Peter Boyle is a lot of fun as the uncouth railroad baron Cornelius Vanderbilt.

Probably went over a lot people’s heads. I like it, especially Alex Cox’s chaotic & thematic style along with Joe Strummer’s score.

Because it's a horrible movie from a guy who could have done much better. Cox pissed away his talent and tries to make it about politics and punk rock when the reality is he just makes garbage movies. Really, Repo Man is so great and the rest of his stuff varies from bad to student film quality. |

Think Transformers is an awful movie? "It just went over your head". Walker is a terrible film. It really is that simple. You like, it great. But most people did not. It's hot trash. It didn't "go over my head" any more than Transfomers did. It's just bad. |

Almost as informative and persuasive as suggesting it "went over people's heads" or that it bombed because of it's "anachronisms" or "anti America commentary". It can't possibly be that it's just an unwatchable mess or anything. |
