I agree with this post, I was gonna say something similar actually

It was the first big budget blockbuster I had watched in ages, and I found it completely patronising and riddled with cliche.

Well, I oddly enjoyed it as the trash it was. I think I enjoyed its very over-the-top nature. And I even stated many of the same complaints as you (but yes, I am utterly confused as to why Natalie Portman is famous, since she's been awful in everything since she graduated--in age only--to adulthood) . Everyone has some bizarre and tasteless treasures.

Well, as for these big-budget hollywood adolescent-fests of special effects etc, I havent seen a decent one in a long time. Pirates was one of the worst movies Ive ever seen, the Star Wars prequels and Matrix sequels were terrible, Da Vinci code, X-men was terrible, I hated the Spiderman movies, god, I really cant remember the last one I enjoyed. Name some good ones over the last few years.

I like the story, it was the idea that they didn't have to make a 4th one.
here's a quote from Tom Rothman (Fox head)

“It's the conclusion of this trilogy. These three movies work as a trilogy. These characters in this relationship, it's the culmination of that saga. It's the culmination and the resolution of those relationships laid out in the first two movies. That doesn't mean never, I would ever say never again, but I will say that this brings that saga to an end. It's quite the way the last Lord of the Rings, Return of the King, brought that trilogy to a conclusion in terms of those characters, that's what this movie does. It goes all the way back to the first one and rounds off and completes that three-part story”

besides, Patrick Steward was getting too old for another one. Great actor nevertheless.

I thought the Pitch Black/Chronicles of Riddick saga was very good...

Children of Men and Pans Labyrinth. Need I say any more? I cannot recommend Children of Men enough, Curt. It was released here in October, I believe it was late December in the states, go see it, followed by Pans Labyrinth.

I babble, but trust me.

No worries. I love good war movies.

I also recommend "A Bridge Too Far", which was made in the 70s (late 70s, I believe) but it's damn good. The trouble with many WWII films that were created in the fifties, sixties, and portion of the seventies are that they essentially consist of a bunch of fake stereotypical American troops being shot at by stereotypical Axis enemies, all the while followed along by a camera. A Bridge Too Far is everything BUT that.

The last one I saw at the theatre was "The Good Shepherd", which was kind of a disappointent. Bascially it could've used a little less brooding and a little more shooting.

The last one I saw on TV was "Nacho Libre".

[metal_wrath]

just watched "Dog Soldiers"

great film, even better than I expected. The plot and acting and stuff was very good, some great gory and scary parts, amazing special effects, I actually can't think of ANYTHING bad about this film! This might actually be the perfect horror movie, definitely recommended

Yes, I've read rave reviews of each. And I aim to go see them. I just dont consider them big-budget Hollywood fare.

I do remember I very much enjoyed Crank. A fun B-action flick with Jason Stathem. Although I dont think it was a big budget movie.

I like Jason Statham in anything.
