ddddeeee Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 SM3 is pretty entertaining too...laugh riot (for all the wrong reasons of course). I don't find SM3 all that funny to laugh at I'm afraid. The Venom/Sandman randomly meeting in New York and teaming-up is kind of funny but other than that... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggestgeekever Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 The whirlpool climax from At World's End is STILL going on. That scene is just...urgh. It's decent taken on its own, but the movie spends over 2 hours building up the Pirate Lords and this great gathering of ships... all for the final battle to be between two ships. And then all the British vessels just leave! So much of the movie is utterly pointless because of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatebox Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) Current running times for blockbusters are the strangest thing. For something like LotR it makes sense, but why are so many 2.5-3 hours now? It costs more to make and it means less showings per day. Perhaps studios mistakenly believe that long movies make people think they got their money's worth. Edited May 3, 2014 by Hatebox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2k Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Well, it was filmed back to back, and the cliffhanger from POTC2 led directly into POTC3. It is just that apart from the cliffhanger, there was nothing good about POTC2 - audience apathy caused the fall a lot more than the close release. The same issue as Reloaded and Revolutions. oy hay!

They gotta get Halba interested somehow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 ASM told the same story as Spider-man 1. ...but it was like CITIZEN KANE bad. Just a really stupid, terrible, horrible, no good, very bad film. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Well, it was filmed back to back, and the cliffhanger from POTC2 led directly into POTC3. It is just that apart from the cliffhanger, there was nothing good about POTC2 - audience apathy caused the fall a lot more than the close release. The same issue as Reloaded and Revolutions.Potc 2 was clearly well liked. Had a 3 multiplier and was gigantic on DVD. I blame AWE box office on AWE itself. A boring movie al the way until the final 30 minutes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's part of the reason I enjoy Quantum of Solace a lot more than most people. It's easy to pop it in the Blu-ray player and it goes by really fast. Same thing with the Bourne movies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Ocean's Thirteen was pretty good too. It kinda felt like, after twelve got a bunch of shit flung at it, they tried to make it way more like the first one as much as possible instead of trying something different. it is fun though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadAtGender Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) I love AWE. It's flawed, but there's so much to enjoy in it. I suppose I'm just like Michael Bolton. Edit: GOD DAMMIT GRIM! Edited May 3, 2014 by DamienRoc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
