Good movie but grossly overrated

Awesome Movie

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

I really like watching the shows on Velocity and American Hot Rod is one of them. But, and this is a big but I can't stand all of the bickering and apparent lack of coordination of their projects. Obviously they are VERY talented. But after watching a couple shows I would think twice prior to giving a project to them. I think they need to take all of the positive they have and focus on that. Maybe business is way to good to bother with any criticism but I am just relating my thoughts after watching their show. Having said that, I think they are a group of very talented people.

American Hot Rod is/should be a TV series that is intended to show how to make a quality Hot Rod (or other type of car). This includes everything from the start (the design) to the finished car, and the drama between the employees.The positive is that we get to see some skilled employees doing their work, and see how cars like this is made (at this scale). But, unfortunately, there is a massive negative overtone over the whole show. I guess much of what I react on, is created to get more action or make it funny.This is what I react on or get out of the show:1. Bullying employees (or other people).2. Exploiting employees (massive overtime and pressure).3. Not building quality cars (cuttting corners).4. Running a business badly (lack of control and logistics).5. Boyd loosing a hard earned reputation.6. Destroying/chopping original classic cars.1. Employees is bullied (or shouted at) all the time, and sometimes to the extent that they have to leave or get aggressive. Had this happened in Norway, it would be highly illegal. Roy, an employee, was also made fun of all the time. He died, and still "funny" comments was made of him. No respect, what so ever! Bullying like fat jokes, stupid jokes and deliberately trying to make someone angry, is NOT what I call fun.2. Setting a time limit for a car (in almost every episode) that is almost impossible to reach, and pressures the employees to work overtime and weekends all the time, is not humane. And extremely stupid if you like to keep your employees and have a good atmosphere at the working place.3. Because of the short time limits, corners was cut all the time, making the quality of the car suffer. Yes, the cars looked fine outside, but underneath it was mediocre.4. How to not run a business. Not having the control of the build or making sure of that the parts arrive before the build, created delays and frustration.5. If Boyd Coddington had a good reputation in making quality cars, it's gone now. Quite simply said! Almost every build in this series show how little focus it was on making the best car possible. The employees commented on this all the time. If I wanted a HotRod, I would never have bought a car with his name on it.6. And this brakes my, and many others, heart, he destroys/chops good original classics. They have then, for ever, lost their value. I can understand it if it was a original classic that was so bad that it couldn't be restored, but here they destroyed good ones. Another reason to not respect Boyd.Many of the employees quit because of reasons I have mentioned.I know that Boyd Coddington has died, but I still stand by what I say. I wish he could have lived and tried to restore his reputation in future episodes of the series, and showed that he (and Dwayne) could treat people good and make high quality cars.I have followed the series because I like cars and mechanics, but many times at each episode, I strongly react on different elements (mentioned before).Therefore, I only give it 3/10

I don't know if I will put in a spoiler or not but this show is absolutely the worst and now Boyd has figured out how to get rid of his number one nemesis, Diane, "the ex-wife" by selling off the wheel portion of the shop. He showed his disdain for her every time he could, and his preference of his new wife and never tried to cover it. He bitches about her every time he has a chance. So when she was all misty eyed when the wheel shop moved out what was his comment to her, "Have a good life." I guess I shouldn't expect anything better from this piece of work. He expects his workers to call him god and do every hair brained thing he comes up with. That is one hell of a load for a bunch of adult meant to put up with and work under and then they give up their weekends nearly every week. That's expected for people who own businesses but what employee expects to work 350 days a year? Yes it's more money but it's not their business so why should they give up their life to him? The only guy that made this show worth watching was Roy and he has passed away, too bad. It is absolutely the worst show ever. Not only does it not stack up with American Chopper it doesn't stand up to the cartoons. Boyd has lost so many employees I suspect the producers gave up on him. If so, Hooraayyy! I have since found out that Roy died on a Wednesday. Boyd, the owner, authorized payment to Roy's estate for Monday and Tuesday but not for the rest of the week. His comment, well he didn't work those days. He can't even give the estate the income from those three days Roy missed due to death. Just how "cheap" is Boyd? Not a guy with very many scruples in this watchers mind. Just recently saw Mike on Overhaulin. I have to wonder how many ex-Boydsters are going to be working with groups that have their own television program. hhhhmmmmmmmmm????????????

Most people that have heard of American Chopper, you know, Paul Teutel Sr. And Jr. making Custom Bikes might have heard of this show, the show that is known so well in many ways as something like "It's just a ploy taking advantage from the success of American Chopper to get Money".That is probably true, but this show is just a little fleshier, it has more to it. One thing, the second-worst thing about this Television show is the DRAMA. It's so scripted it's tedious. I mean, we just see them going on and on, not really building bikes, people get fired, and in between that they find some run-down piece of **** and rebuild it. It could be said that the reason for all of this trashy melodrama is because a Car takes so much longer to build than a Chopper, therefore they have to get people to bite, taking advantage of the oh so annoying Melodrama spawned from the evil known as Fox's reality shows.What I mean by this show is that it is a hate it for it's knock-off, take advantage of success of American Chopper, and scripted melodrama, or like it for the fact they build cars. It won't last for the reasons of hating, but hey... it could... do... some good... some day... maybe... later.
