I never have special expectation for those big-blockbusters-special-effects movies, especially if they are sequels. I admit I enjoyed T1 and T2 (the others i haven't seen  ;D). I've watched Transformers the other night while playing here in the forum. UMBEARABLE. Other movie in this same line that could've been better is Hancock. I've seen it on TV without even knowing what it was about and kinda enjoy the first half. The second half is downright BAD.

I don't like it when films do that, they start off really well and then they start falling in love or something.  I can't think of any examples to support this, but I'm sure I've seen it happen often.

Now Zoidberg is the popular one!

Did you know that the original director for Hancock was fired in the middle of shooting the film and the direction was taken over by someone else?

I'll bet that helps explain that sudden change in the second half, eh?  :D

It somehow explain things but still, don't they have a previously accepted script by producers etc? I mean millions of dollars involved. Unbelievable. :(

What is wrong with you people?!
Face off is a terrible movie? I love it. And I liked both transformers movies a lot. I think they even outdid themselves with the second one. Sheesh people, you made me log on just for this! :D

You think you have it hard, I'm a M. Night Shyamalan fan (quite seriously) and I have had bricks thrown at me for admitting that..







OUCH!!  Who threw that?!?

I don't believe you. Nobody can hate rock. It's like hating ice cream.  ;D

Believe it.  It's like right-wing politics to me, or even aniseed flavoured ice-cream.





@ OC - I ducked :P

and the National Treasure movies?

i liked the first one ok.. haven't seen the second

and.. Raising Arizona.. Vampire's Kiss is good in a weird way. ..Leaving Las Vegas is well done. and, I want to to dislike Moonstruck because it's a little to corny romance/comedy for me ..but I've watched it more then once.. it's the wackiness of his character that pushes it over into an unconvenional love story.. and makes it less sugary.
