The Postman is at 8/50 on RT.

I can't argue with that score, but I love every minute of it.

Wait really? I saw that movie twice in my teens, and liked it a lot. Probably mostly for it's take on a post-post-apocalyptic society. I never thought about it in my adult life, but I'd never have guessed it was overall not well liked.

Waterworld wasn’t the flop - Postman was. It lost ~$100 million. Gene Siskel called it “Dances with myself.”

Anyway, I still like it.

I thought I was the only one. I truly don't understand what people have against this movie. I agree that it isn't a perfect film by any measure but it seems to be quite underrated to me. Is it just that everyone was expecting nothing but amazing movies from Kevin Costner during this period of his career? If that is the case, we certainly know better by now. This movie needs to be reevaluated by the masses!
