H&K and MC
Okay... so what do you of the Manchurian Candidate.
I saw Harold & Kumar Go to Whitecastle but I dunno if I should see Manchurian Candidate... See I don't much trust critics as far as drama/action goes... They gave Spiderman 2 and Bourne Supremacy good reviews... so thats the reason I saw H&K. Good reviews for comedies usually mean that it will be actually funny.
And yes H&K was pretty good I gotta say. Had one major short coming in that it managed to fit some morals into the whole thing... but other than that a good movie on a whole. Actors were good too.
On an overall I'd give H&K a B rating...
Who ever saw the Manchurian Candidate tell me what you think of it give it a rating on the A,B,C,D,F scale... A+ being an incredible masterpiece... and F being utter and complete crap.

A++! But...I will say if you're not much of an X-Files fan, there is a chance you'd give it anywhere from a B down to as low as a D.

Okay in order to see if I personally will like MC I'll need to see if your opinions of movies are similar to mine.
Rate the following movies:
The Godfather
Scarface
The Punisher
Spiderman
Wrong Turn
French Connection
Pirates of the Carribean
The Pianist

of those...I've seen Spiderman and PotC...
I would give Spiderman a B or B- and PotC a B+ or A-. However, none of these are really close to MC. Give me a little bit and I'll think of a movie that is kind of like MC. Hmm, have you seen "Total Recall"? If you liked it, you'll probably like MC, but just because you didn't like it doesn't mean you won't like MC.
I'd give Spiderman a C-, but I agree with you as far as POtC go.
Total Recal... meh... not too bad... but meh...
Fine lets see... name movies that are more or less recent that you've seen and rate them... That should give me some perspective.
The reviews say TMC is a Farenheit 9/11 type movie, with bush bashing and analogies. It is very anti-capatilist also.

That doesn't bother me.

Anti-Capitalist, but it isn't necessarily a Bush basher. It is completely fictional.
And as far as rating movies I've seen, it's not going to matter much. The Manchurian Candidate is a well written movie, but it is pretty unique. (The book is probably much better.) If you liked the X-Files before they lost David Duchovny, you'll probably like The Manchurian Candidate.

Never liked X Files that much...

More than likely then you're better off waiting for it to come on Starz or something.

Never underestimate the vagueness of "...or something."
