I just saw it. well thats another 2 hours of my life thrown away.
what happened to telling a story? hardly anybody can do it anymore in Hollywood.
I'm really thinking about never going to see blockbusters - I'm just perpetuating the shit being churned out constantly.
probably won't last though..

well those are different one is a book the other is a comic you cannot go wrong with movies based on such cause you know what to expect
99.999999999% of movies from hollywood are shit and i wounder why would they spend the money on crap instead of giving it to art students and independant artists and directors
and foreign too

MIB was a comic before it was a movie, but that's no excuse.

i saw MIB 2 with low expectations and was still very disappointed.
its short, its like the movie was boring so they edited out 20 minutes of story out and only left the the barest framework left of a storyline. at least that was my impression. and no chemistry at all between Will Smith and anybody else.
and sequels... they know that even if it gets bad reviews it will still have a decent opening weekend... and then they know they will sell it to blockbuster, sell the dvd in decent numbers and then repackage it together with the first movie and sell it again, and sell it to HBO or whoever... its really a very low risk venture for hollywood, even if it sucks.

i think it would be cool to make a film apart from hollywood.
directors like chris cunningham & alex rutterford would be fit for such a consideration. =)

Speaking of blockbusters I just saw Triple X, mainly because Rammstein's in it for 10 min. But it was your usual actiopn flick, kept me entertained for 100 min

MIB was OK, but it was one of those films that you sort of say "yeah I've seen that..." and that's about it!
Can't say I'm that fussed about seeing the sequel....I'll probably watch it when it comes out on TV

yeah, some of the acting in it was just fuckin atrocious... but I laughed out loud at some of the jokes... it was mainly stupid tho.
the first one on the other hand, is pretty good IMO

no. I didn't think it would be good. I thought at best it would be entertaining. it was just tedious and boring.

lord of the rings was VERY good. I was suprised at that one (although I did think Peter Jackson could just maybe pull it off)
