Most of his comedy is good, but I do agree with you on his movies... they're BAD.

I actually liked a bunch of movies this year, including the popular to hate ones like Spider-Man 3, PotC 3 and Transformers, but I didn't really see anything I out and out hated, aside from OotP. I loved Grindhouse, Hot Fuzz, and The Bourne Ultimatum a lot.

I do have one huge disappointment, though...and that was TMNT. What a sh*t story. One cool scene doesn't make up for the rest of the crap in it. Any of the people here who try and honestly say that TMNT should have been animated movie of the year are kidding themselves, especially up against something as good as Ratatouille.

No, I liked that movie, too, along with Spider-Man 3.

So yeah, you're calling movies you haven't seen terrible. God, people like you suck. Watch the f*cking movie first. If you didn't wanna see it, fine, but don't call it bad by "association".

Wow... unwavering maturity. Why the hell should I piss away 10 bucks on a horrendous piece of crap that looks like someone took a dump on celluloid just to have the right to say it's a terrible movie? I mean, there is NOTHING to like about any of the movies I listed. I'm sick of seeing untalented movie making d-bags take classic cartoons and "reimagine" them till all the satire and originality of the concept, just so some retarded 5 year old who has never heard of the cartoon before can see idiotic capering of talking animals. I sure as hell don't want to waste money, especially when it's scarce, to see a piece of incomprehensible garbage. And I think I SHOULD have the right to say that movies are bad without having to waste money trying to sit through them.

I can tell right away when I like a movie or not. And I think I have a solid list of movies I heard were trash, got the fact that they were trash from the trailer (which has the best gags in it, and when they aren't funny, you can tell what's going to happen), and just over all had no appeal to anyone anywhere. 'Kay?

It's not like I'm just saying popular films I didn't see were terrible for the sake of annoying fans of the franchise. I'm saying that films with no appeal, that bombed and were universally unliked are bad.

BTW, I remember Paul Dini writing a scathing blog or interview or something about the Underdog movie. When I find it, I'll post it here. It's pretty much what 99% of everyone was thinking.

[Mecha Cow]

There's a good number of trailers that don't give a good indication of what the actual movie is like. Of course there are plenty of cases where you can make a pretty fair assumption on whether or not the movie sucks, but you can't seriously justify the 'bad by association' argument.

Also, who gives a f*ck about Underdog or the Chipmunks?

[Mr. Snackpants]

Is it ok to use the "bad by association" argument for Delta Farce, starring Larry the Cable Guy? Because I admit I've never seen the movie but said it was garbage. There has gotta be some exceptions and this has to be one of them

Am I alone in my absolute loathing of Superbad? I thought the title spoke for itself.

Might be. I thought it was hilarious. Johan is ok, I really like Micheal Cera, the guy who played Fogal was great, and then Seth Rogen and Bill Hader made great cops. So I really, really liked the cast. I was really surprised because when I saw the trailer at Transformers it looked liked another stupid teen movie.

[Jester]

I'll be the first to admit, I don't much care for Jonah Hill. That combined with the excesive language and penis related humor made me wonder why I rented this movie.

[Mr. Snackpants]

I see where you're coming from, they really coulda cut the number of f-bombs in half. I'd be with you on penis humor, but all those drawings were hilarious.

And yeah, Johan Hill can be annoying.

Oh hush. If you could stomach the dancing scenes and other bull s**t from Spider-man 3... TMNT should have been a master piece to you.

TMNT-Wicked Ausome!

Under Dog-So sucked!(I had to watch it with my little sister.)


Transformers-Great

Spider-Man 3-Not so good to me.

300-Really Ausome

Rush Hour 3-MY FAVorITE!!!!!!!!!!!! REAL FUNNY!!!

[Drtooth]

The biggest disappointment is that Fox lacked the testicular fortitude to release Bender's Big Score theatrically. It was just way too good to be a DTV product.

I have a hard time finding just about any current comedians funny, except for maybe Dave Chappelle.

[cqb101]

I love Dane Cook's stand-up, don't care for his movies.

[Fugitoid Jones]

Seconded, about current comedians not being funny, and Dave Chappelle being funny. I just feel that if I've seen one current comedian, I've seen them all. I just feel that every comic I see complains about the same things and tells the same stupid stories about their wives/families, without making them different or adding anything original. I just find older comedians funnier like Bill Cosby and Richard Pryor and Billy Connelly. Maybe it's just my taste in humor. I've also started to really get into the Dave Chappelle Show. Great stuff.

[cqb101]

I think I'm the only person in the world who doesn't like Dave Chapelle or find him that funny.

Uh...no? At least it was funny in Spider-Man. And the let-down after all these years of waiting for a new TMNT movie, and being delivered the POS story that we got was more than enough to kill it for me.

Well if you thought that was funny, I guess I can't aruge (there was a few other things that I really didn't like about it, but the dances killed me.... I was actually embarassed to be in the theatre while that was going on). But I thought TMNT brought enough nostalgia, action, acting and animation to make up for the lackluster writing.

[raphael_is_cool]

I liked both Spider-Man 3 and TMNT.

Spider-Man 3 was my favourite in the series, simply because it was the most entertaining. I can't say I was disappointed with it because I never really cared for the first two. I found the third funny and silly; not dull and melodramatic.

I guess I went into it not expecting anything serious of affecting and the fact that none of it dragged, as opposed to every film over two hours nowadays, is a point in its favour.


As for TMNT. Sure, it wasn't perfect but beneath the 'OMG NOT SHREDDER?' plot you could tell Munroe had put a lot of care and attention into it. It looked great as well.

The other gripe is the editing choices. The opening bit explaining the historical background could've been a lot shorter or ditched altogether. Basic rule of screenwriting: don't tell your audience the same information twice. This film does that. I think the mystery would've made things a little more interesting. For an adult viewer anyway... Plus, the film wouldn't have suffered with the stuff that was cut out and would've benefitted from the full 'ninja tag' scene.

Just my two cents.
