Except, the Watchmen was easily better than any comic book movie out there. It is certainly better than EVERY Spider-man, Hulk, Thor, Blade, Captain America, and Batman movies.

You're one of the "omg a penis! why isn't that guy wearing pants after his clothes just got 'asploded!" mouth breathers who can't take mature content, I take it?

ROFL

No, the movie fucking sucked, plain and simple. You are right, though, it is easy to watch -- if you are a glutton for punishment.

I enjoy the Amazing Spiderman alot more than the Tobey MacGuire one, which I thought was a little too self-satisfied, like Tobey MacGuire.

People in the movie business beg to differ. Spider-man 3 made $150 million it's opening weekend. Nearly 3x what The Amazing Spider-man made.

Opening weekend is a good measure of how people liked the PREVIOUS movie. Most people consider Spider man 2 to be the best of that series, so it makes sense that they'd have a big opening for the next one. Since spider man 3 sucked, the next one did worse.

I thought it was not good. It is like they try to make it a great movie just by throwing in allot of special effects. Just wasn't impressed at all. I don't even think it is worth the time it takes me to pirate it to watch again.

I wonder if the new Godzilla movie will offer something different. Maybe like a giant monster destroying things.

I'm a bit interested in that myself, me likes good Godzilla.

Hopefully they do it right finally like they finally did The Hulk in The Avengers.

They'd been pissing on the Hulk for years.

MovieBob over at Escapist pretty much summed up my thoughts on the movie.

I didn't know it before but Sony is obligated to make a Spiderman movie at least every 10 years in order to keep their rights to it. The two movies in this series are about as uninspired as you can get.

I didn't think it was one every 10 years but, yeah, they basically can't sit on the rights and have them go to waste. And, frankly, so much money gets made off of the merchandising for Spider-Man that there's no way Sony will let this license go.

I've kind of heard there's an expiration on the licensing deal, and I'm sure there is, but can't find any concrete details on it. Some people expect it to revert back to Marvel after the fourth Amazing Spiderman movie, but I can't find any data to back that up.

Giving it back to Marvel would be a wonderful idea though.

Anyways, let's pour one out in Tobeyface's memory.

I liked it but it was missing something. Great acting between the two lovebirds (expected of course) and I liked how it was more comic book-ey (like the twips when he shot his webs). I was totally expecting the ending and style points for the clock tower. But all in all, it seemed to be missing something. Electro wasn't very satisfying as a villain, and that introduced a lot of cheesy crap
like spidey taking 1 million volts and surviving lmao.
.

All in all, I'd rank it S1:2, S1:1, S2:2, S2:1, S1:3 in that order.

Meh I don't honestly see why people are excited about the new Godzilla. There is literally nothing about the trailers that makes it look different than the dozens of other monster. Same music, same shots trying to hide the monster.

For anyone who hasn't seen the movie - watch the trailer for the compressed version. There isn't much more content than that.

Well yeah, but how long has it been since we've seen a monster movie? Cloverfield is the last I remember and that's over 6 years old now. You don't have to watch it, but every once in a while something like this is a good distraction. It's the type of big, loud, explosion filled movie that I'll only watch in the theater, and only that once... but I know exactly what I'm getting so I usually leave feeling entertained. I've pissed away 2 hours and $7 doing less entertaining things.

Paul Giamatti was horrible in this movie. Terrible choice for the role of a thug. His accent and facial expressions were laughably bad.

Pacific Rim?


I am going to see Godzilla, mostly because it just looks like an updated version of the older movie (which I liked). Plus, Mr. White is in it. And I can only imagine how upset he is going to be when Godzilla fucks up his lab.

Seriously. It's like Joel Schumacher wrote his part or something.
