1ST ANNUAL SUMMER BLOCKBUSTER REVIEW (Sci-Fi 1997)

Genre:  Review Spoof (Color)

Don’s Review:  For those who want to see MST riff on some of the big budget dreck that’s unleashed on us by Hollywood every summer, the closest they ever got was in two summer specials, this being the first.  In this Sci-Fi half-hour special, they riff on the trailers and previews for some of the big summer movies in 1997: The 5th Element, Batman & Robin, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Contact, and Men in Black.  This is good proof that a movie doesn’t have to be low-budget to be cheesy enough for riffing.  And the riffing here starts off well, but then degenerates into unfunny silliness when Bobo, Observer, and Pearl show up.
