You need to make up your mind Aaron:


Quoted from Aaron
We have all had this happen, and when it does, it sucks. So what's the most recent movie you have seen that you were so excited for....but left not liking it?

For me, it was Terminator Salvation, 5/10


Quoted from Aaron (from the Terminator Salvation thread)
I thought it was good, lots of action and thrills, but no story, I mean yeah there is, but I mean no character development at all.

7/10

I'd like to know what disappointed you. The film approaches perfection IMO.

Quoted from greg

And Spielberg's War of the Worlds...I actually really liked that movie in the summer of 2005.  A lot.  Then one day something clicked and I realized how bad it was too.


I never said the film was bad there were good scene adn awesome direction, but the end... I said to myself, "Yes. And then?..." Too rushy. But the film is on the whole good.

A Danish film called Pusher.

Heard really good things about it. Was an alright film until the ending, which was very disappointing. An example of an ambiguous ending I didn't like.

On another note, Pusher 2 is a very good film.

Toby,

You might have noticed that Pusher 1, 2 and 3 all end basically the same way.

Sniper, I did man. When I gave Terminator a 7/10 I was in the "post screening rush" you, know, the time where your not really sure of your opinion on a film yet. anyway yeah I made up my mind, 5/10 is final. Thank you! I'm not the only one to say Slumdog was disappointing! Good, but disappointing nonetheless.  


Isle 10- A series I'm currently writing with my friend Adam and it will go into production soon. Think The Office meets 10 Items or Less.

About 90% of every film I have ever watched.

Spider-Man 3 sticks out most in my mind, I was so hyped up when I went to see that and came out the cinema crushed.

Maybe Pirates 3 too, I liked it but was expecting a LOT more.

I am yet to watch Pusher 3, got the trilogy, only watched 1 and 2 though.

And both endings were ambiguous, and left the audience wondering what the protag will do next... But I thought Pusher 2 had a much more satisfying ending, with what Tonny does to his father, and does with his baby. It felt it wrapped up everything nicer.

And on another note, I still can't believe the actor who played Tonny played Le Chiffre in Casino Royale

The Matrix Reloaded and Matrix Revolutions, Pirates 3 (and 2 to an extent). A lot of sequels, really. You expect them to replicate the magic of the first and they just...don't. They try, and in attempting to be bigger, better and more spectacular they often forget the central things that made the original enjoyable in the first place. Actually, not just sequels - while I enjoyed the experience of seeing watching Watchmen (2:30 AM at the IMAX, pretty unique), in retrospect it wasn't as good as I'd hoped it would be.

I also watched Easy Rider on DVD recently in order to finally appease my uncle...and I have to say I wasn't particularly impressed. Maybe it's just aged badly.

And I completely disagree with you about Spidey 4. From what I've read about the development process of SM3, it definitely sounds like a case of 'too many cooks'. Yes it was a bloated, self-satisfied, badly-judged mess, but I think if they take their time and try not to do too much, then it's by no means doomed. After all, Drag Me To Hell showed that Raimi still has the ability to make an enjoyable film.


Guess who's back? Back again?

Matrix Reloaded, really? That was the best of the series for me man. Revolutions sucked, yes, but Reloaded was awesome

Good call.  I was so confused during that movie.  


Be excellent to each other
