No, I’m 28. Apart from a few quotable scenes, I just didn’t think it was funny. From the way everyone was talking, I thought I’d be laughing outloud through the whole thing. Maybe I’m missing something.
If we’re factoring in hype, then it’s Star Wars I, hands down, no contest. I remember reading weekly production updates for that movie and the Seinfeld finale in Newsweek!
Then that idiot Lucas puts in Jar Jar, casts a real cruddy child actor, then compounds the crappy child actor problem by giving said crappy child actor a very complex character to play.
This single movie made me wonder why I’d been a big Star Wars fan when I was younger. Ten, twelve years later I re-watch Empire Strikes Back and remember how kick-ass the old Star Wars movies were.
Then I was saddened at thinking how awesome Darth Vader’s origin story could’ve been if that half-wit hack George Lucas had allowed a real movie-maker to produce the prequel movies.

While I agree Episode I was crap, it is George Lucas’ franchise to do what he wants. He puts up the money and they’re all his characters. Even in an interview he said something to the effects of “I’m making these movies how I want to, not how other people want.” While not very smart in a business or artistic sense, I respect the man for sticking with what he believes.
100% agree on all other points. The original films rocked.
I’d have to agree with Star Wars 1, and actually all the Star Wars prequels sucked. Terrible acting with a huge CGI orgy to distract you from the fucking atrocious excuse for a film that was going on.
And, Spiderman 3. My god. I was big into comics when I was kid so I’m always pumped about comic movies. Spiderman 1 & 2 were really great movies, and then, then they just decided to go ahead and construct a pile of vomit and shit and slap the title Spiderman 3 on the mess. Absolutely horrendous. Fuck you Sam Raimi
No Country for Old Men had no character development, no original score (which was a gimmick,) and an almost though-provoking ending that ending up just looking sloppy. Not only that, but the main character did some of the dumbest fucking things I’ve ever seen in a movie, and I wanted to punch his face in right from the start. Let’s see, what does any intelligent person who finds a shit load of blood money do? Go to another country. // End movie.
I guess I’ve just come to expect too much from the Cohen brothers. I can promise I will never watch that turd as long as I’m alive again.
I definitely agree with 300, new Star Wars and LOTR. Luckily, I had read the crappy books so I wasn’t that surprised by the LOTR movies and their suckage.
I really hated Sin City the first time I saw it and thought it was over hyped garbage. Now that I’ve watched it a few times on TV I’d say it is ok to decent but still over hyped.
Wild Things with Denise Richards was disappointing. Everyone was like yeah titties…wasn’t impressed.
I really hope the new Indiana Jones movie doesn’t blow otherwise it will be on the list shortly.

The only characters in those movies who didn’t suck arse were Qui-Gonn Jinn and Yoda. Obi-Wan got better in Episode 3 though.
And Yoda was still 10x the actor that Hayden Christiansen or however you spell that fucktards name ever was.
Star Wars Episode 1: The Fandumb Megamess.
The Matrix Reloaded
The Matrix Revolutions
Any James Bond movie starring Pierce Brosnan
Spiderman 3
The Batman before Batman Begins
All the Disney movies since they started going all CGI(save for the first Toy Story). Give me Sleeping Beauty, Phinocchio, Cinderella, etc, over the crap they put out now.

I’m just the opposite. I think the new Pixar movies are way better than the old Disney “classics”, other than Fantasia. Fantasia is cool.

Honestly, I think Hayden C. deserved an Oscar for his role as Anakin in II and III. I say this because he almost salvaged that character when Lucas gave him absolutely nothing to work with in terms of script or skilled character development.
In fact, my respect for all the actors in the Star Wars prequel movies increased (except that bratty little kid in I) because of how they managed to turn a ham-handed director’s trash into somewhat watchable films.
Imagine the horror of those movies if they had paired bad acting with Lucas’s awful dialogue!

True that. It just seems like they lost a lot of the classic magic.
