The Wolverine.

Oblivion.

I don't think I've seen one good movie this year.


Discuss.
 
Haven't seen either of those. Might see Wolverine sometime down the road. Have no desire to see Oblivion.

Despicable Me 2 was good. WWZ was decent. Man of Steel was eh.
Iron Man 3 was ok but I was sorely disappointed in the villain.
 
Right, Man of Steel and Iron Man 3 were both blah.

On the other hand, Robot & Frank (2012) was quite charming.
 
Pacific Rim....watched 20 minutes of it and turned it off.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation.....all Rock, all the time. :rolleyes:

I have never seen either GI Joe movie. No interest at all.
I'd like to check out Pacific Rim sometime but not in a theater. Might torrent it whenever I get in the mood.
 
Why do people go to theaters? Unless it's a new 35mm print of some awesome film I love, or a documentary I know will not be released for eons, I avoid them like the plague.
 
Star Trek into darkness

Olympus has fallen

After earth
 
Osama = Mandarin

The Mandarin was Osama. The terrorism boogeyman. M.I.C. is making trillions. International banks raking it in! And under Obama the left's protesting has stopped.
 
I'm never seeing movies with any of y'all killjoys. :D

They're all summer popcorn escapist fare to be seen big and loud, not Citizen Kane at home on the couch on a boring Sunday afternoon.

They still have to be good. Loud and obnoxious isn't good, it's Transformers 2.
 
Saw Oblivion at the Imax and I thought it was pretty decent. Its been forever and a day since I've been to the theatre so it might have been a little bit of the Imax wow factor.

True, but nothing (IMO, that I've seen so far) this summer is on that level of weak sauce.

And then we gotta decide what kind of metric we're going against, because Transformers 2, as sloppy and messy as it was, made serious bank and greenlighted a marginally better follow-up. It didn't hurt Michael Bay's bottom line any.

All summer movies are problematic and faulty and weak in some areas. That's a given from jump street, so you take their strengths and run off that. Because going into it, you should know what you're seeing. Also, we're the generation that grew up with Star Wars and Indy Jones and Jaws defining our summers...classics they may be, but they wouldn't hold up in the arena these days as is, which is why we watch them at home now. It's an evolved ball game now, at all levels and in all aspects. Doing a "blockbuster" flick means compromising on a lot of shit and if you can make that work enough to sell seats and get moderately positive criticism (which still doesn't automatically translate to sells), you done pretty good.

By the way, there's a sequel to Tron Legacy in the pipeline...soooo I guess you can count the many fucks not given to people whose levels of critical analysis only comes to down to "sucking." :D

And Oblivion wasn't even a summer movie. That came out in late February.

Dude, both Tron movies suck dead skunk ass. Terrible movies that got some kind of weird cult following. I assume acid had something to do with it.
 
I will admit that I was pretty bummed about Man of Steel, though I still believe that Henry Cavill is incredibly delicious. It's the hair.

Took me forever to watch that movie and it was exactly like I figured it would be.
I knew better because the first one sucked but I watched anyway. My bad.

i've never seen the whole thing. it just bored the shit out of me.

i liked the first one, though, but i will openly admit that that's just nostalgia.

and the only blockbuster i've seen in theater was iron man 3.

and, yeah, blah is the word. it was alright, but nothing special and on certain levels really fucking annoying if you anything at all about the comic.

oh. wait. i did see despicable me 2 with my nephews. it wasn't bad, but i could've happily waited to see it on tv or dvd or whatever. but, hey, they seemed to like it and that was kind of the point.

and at least i was able to talk them out of the lone ranger.

It was fun to watch and did exactly what it was supposed to do. Like I said, it's a Tron movie. It's not The English Patient.

Okay to be anti-geek film snobs if that works for you, but you went to see it knowing what it was, so....what did you expect?

We make movies about white men from other planets with hair that never loses its curl flying around in their underwear. What's up with that, then?
 
Oblivion was ruined by Tom Cruise being Tom Cruise. Pacific Rim was kid stuff but awesome SF. I wouldn't see Wolverine if you paid me. World War Z was meh.
 
Iron Man 3 was a fun movie. It had charm.

Star Trek Into Darkness was pretty, but galactically stupid.

Man of Steel had lots of 'splosions, but was a shitty Superman story. I may actually hate that movie.

I'd like to see Despicable Me and Pacific Rim. One looks like a genuinely good story, and the other looks like tons of fun.

I despise humanity for its support of Grown Ups 2.
