Yeah I will be honest, from that picture The Lizard looks like something out of that old DINOSAURS TV show, from the early 1990's, I mean really it looks kind of goofy.
Eh guess I'll wait till March to see it, I think Battleship doing poorly and the fact that so many people did not like the first film (even though I did really like it) spooked them somewhat, plus the fact that Spiderman opened the week after and Batman two weeks after to steal their audience probably did not help things.
Truthfully it really sucks but the move makes some sense financially, I mean truthfully at best it was going to have a $60 million opening, and depending on WOM it would either develop a slight hold against Spiderman or loose a lot of its audience entirely.
I doubt Hasbro wanted two duds related to its properties this Summer, so they probably pressured Paramount to move it.
I love that the author of the article says no one is looking forward to Men in Black III, yeah thats a load of bull plenty of people want to see that one, heck it has almost 200,000 want to see votes on Rottentomatoes, and heck the theme song/music video for MIB III already has like 9 million views on youtube, so yeah I think plenty of people are interested in the movie. I know I will be seeing it this weekend.
I saw Dark Shadows yesterday, it wasn't great but it was pretty good, a fun gothicky Tim Burton/Johnny Depp collaberation. The movie definitely was weird in places, but I would probably base that on the fact that it was trying at least in part to stay true to the TV series, which I never liked, I personally thought the film actually could of used more comedic bits.
I have not seen Battleship, and might/might not, as MIB III is coming out this week, but I doubt its gotten all the hate its gotten online, heck while its got a negative rating on Rottentomatoes, the movie has like 70 positive reviews so apparently there are some definite things to enjoy in the movie, also it did not deserve the F rating it got here, but hey thats Rob Vaux and hardly anyone here agrees with his reviews.
Basically if critics were honest they would just come out and say they hate the movie because its a film based on a board game and a lot of them just can't stand that, plus its a movie obviously made to make money and they hate that as well, thats a primary reason its gotten bashed so much.
Wow looking at the top 10 its hard to believe that a lot of people are going to the movies, I have not been in three weeks and probably won't go back until The Avengers comes out (HELL YES!), then after that I will probably be going about once a week as Summer Movie Season is upon us.
But Seriously here is how the top ten can be broken down for me:
1- Urban/Ghetto comedy that I have no desire to see (unless Meagan Good was nude or topless)
2- Another Nicholas Sparks chick flick based on another of his hundred books.
3- Over-hyped but decent, although pretty boring book to film adaptation.
4-Something that looks like I could watch it for free on National Geographic.
5-An awful comedy I would not even Redbox accept for the scene with Kate Upton in the Nun-kini
6-Meh I might watch this one eventually, but just because a friend wants to see it.
7-The film that allows a bunch of crappy raunchy movie actors to collect once last check from a franchise few care about anymore.
8-Titanic 3-D, meh if I did not pay to see Phantom Menace in 3-D, I am sure as hell not going to pay $12.00 to see this overly long chick flick in theaters.
9-Douche bag comedy, based on lame TV show, starring two actors (Hill and Tatum) that I cannot stand).
10-If I was wanting to watch the Snow White story, I would just wait until Snow White and The Huntsman come out later this Summer.
Well I usually don't care to much about critic reviews, but the movie has like a 90% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which means yeah it is a good movie. Also with $100 million budget the film is basically money in the bag due to its popularity alone, heck ticket sales online have supposidley been close to Harry Potter numbers. As for a sequel, I read online one is supposed to start filming later this year and will probably come out next Summer or Winter. So yeah since Harry Potter is over and Twilight will be soon, this is going to be the new Epic Book-to-Film craze for the next few years a least.
Also to the writer of the article, there is nothing wrong with Hot Topic, they have some pretty cool stuff, my only complaint is they don't carry that much Anime stuff anymore, but then again nobody does as Cheap Fans, Illegal Downloads, and The Douche Bags who run Adult Swim basically helped kill the Anime industry in the U.S.
Well usually I don't care what critics think and I probably won't see this movie in theaters, but seriously the Reviewer for this site obviously lets his emotions get the better of him when reviewing these movies, critics with the attitude of "Oh this idea is not original enough" or "This is a cash Grab..." seriously need to STFU and say whether the film and its content were enjoyable and entertaining.
Puss in Boots has an over 70% approval rating on Rottentomatoes and close to 50 positive reviews as opposed to 14 negative, so apparently the reviewer just does not like the character has an axe to grind whatever, it does not warrant this movie getting a "D" rating.
As for "In Time" some people were saying hey finally a semi original idea, yeah its original to an extent but thats the thing with movies like "In Time" yeah their original but they just look really stupid, and the film made the mistake of casting Justin Timberlake as the lead, yeah few guys want to see him in an action movie.
I have a feeling it will be a flashback sequence, or they could go the whole we cloned our better Umbrella Operatives and infected them with the virus, Salmon could play like Mr. X or something, a mutant bodyguard/thug for the Umbrella company. If they put him in a bodysuit or Colin Salmon really bulked up and they shaved his head and gave him some sunglasses I could see him being Mr. X, I mean heck he's really the only boss monster they have not used to an extent so far.
In the first the boss was the Licker/Hunter
In the second it was Nemesis
In the third it was a version of the Tyrant
In the fourth it was the Executioner and Wesker
So I could see Mr. X being used in the fifth film.
#1-
Exactly the twins were stereotypes, they were not rascist. People who complain about the Twins being insulting stereotypes should go complain about all Tyler Perry's shitty movies before they complain about being stereotyped by Michael Bay, Perry horribly stereotypes his own ethnicity and they lap it up.
"Seriously, the only reason the NAACP didn’t kick up a greater fuss is because they’re still trying to wrap their heads around the notion that anyone in 21st century America would be stupid enough to greenlight it."
And also if the NAACP had complained about this it would have shown what a sad joke their organization has become, of course you only have to look at people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton to see that.
Wow this was not a review of the movie at all. Like so many negative reviews on rottentomatoes, this was just another I hate Michael Bay and the fact that he is successful rant, you know when critics post crap like this is just makes them look like complete pricks. And whining about military/weaponry porn, good God I am glad the film has that stuff it makes the movie a lot cooler and a much better action film, so reviewers need to grow some balls again apparently instead of whining about it.
God I hope this movie makes a ton of cash for several reasons, one I have liked the series thus far, this new one looks to be amazing especially in 3D and I have been looking forward to it for a while, but lastly when the Transformers movies do really well its almost like pouring salt into an open wound for these critics, they hate Michael Bay so much, some almost seem like they would love to see him get hit by a car or something. So when his movies are actually successful its like spitting in their collective faces, I hope this movie is really successful.

I guess this is the Summer movie goers decided to play it cheap, I mean really people might say well Summers movies were bad, well if your going to go the "Uber douche Critic" route the movies this Summer are no worse than Summer movies from years past, its just people don't seem to be going to the movies.
Heck you cannot even site critical reviews as being much as a "Must see or a Deterrent" when it came to people going to the movies, and while "The Avengers" did really well and got good reviews, Men in Black III got good reviews overall but wound up being a dissapointment domestically, The Dictator (got decent reviews for a raunchy comedy but basically dissapointed), Prometheus (got good reviews but will probably come in a little over its budget domestically but thats it).
I personally have a feeling that Ted will perform like every other dumb raunchy comedy and make around $85-$120 million before leaving theaters, thanks mostly to Seth Mc"Douche"Bags idiot fanbase.
The new Spiderman will proabably underperform because no one I know is looking forward to it, they should not have rebooted it, plus the new guy playing Spiderman seems unlikable, and add to the fact that The Lizard is a lame stand alone villain (heck if you are going to use the Lizard bring in someone else like Kraven the Hunter or something). I I predict around $250-$300 million for Spidermans newest movie.
I have a feeling as well that The Dark Knight Rises will probably not do as well as The Dark Knight simply due to the fact of the villain choice, Ledger's performance and the drama around his death really helped the second film, there is none of that this time. Bane is not Joker, so he does not have the mass appeal of other Batman villains outside of comic and cartoon fans (plus Nolan's design for him just looks dumb). Also the hype for this film does not seem to be as strong as the hype for the second one.
I predict a $200 million opening for The Dark Knight Rises and around a $450 million or less domestic take.
