Is that the sequel to In the Mood For Love?

I didn't know it had a sequel! I saw In the Mood for Love in the theatres when it was released. It's SUCH a gorgeous movie. I'll have to look for this!

2010 - I thought it was great. Not the weird masterpiece of the original, but it was a great sci-fi movie.

ALIENS - I like the fact that James Cameron knew he couldn't just do an Aline part 2, and opted to make a different kind of movie than the original altogether. The first was a masterpiece, but essential a b-movie haunted house flick set to sci-fi and beautifully rendered backdrops. The second was shoot 'em up thriller. I thought the complimented each other beautifully. I wish this was true with Alien 3. I really wish David Fincher had been given a better script and story, and all the time he needed to make the flick.

A Very Brady Sequal - I'm sorry but

The Empire Strikes Back - I don't care what anybody says, the first Star Wars movie was NOT great. The Empire Strikes back was a far better film.

Lord of The Rings 2 and 3. Each sequal was better than the movie before it. A bit over the top, but hey--it's a fantasy flick.


Throat gaggers 8. This one is far better than the previous 7. These girls sure can suck dick.

Wasn't the elevated train fight scene filmed in Chicago? It certainly wasn't filmed in NYC. Was it supposed to be the green line? Or Metro North maybe?

Of course Godfather II

Austin Powers TSWSM
National Lampoon Christmas Vacation LMAO
Batman Returns
Kill Bill 2
Friday After Next
Major League II (Very Funny film, I've heard people say that it's one of the worst sequels ever, but I disagree, the first Major League was a straight baseball film with a little bit of comedy, but not much, but ML2 is a baseball comedy that stands totally independent from the first)

I'm surprised at the love for 'Batman Returns'. Big disappointment, IMO, mainly because of Danny DeVito. This could have been a classic if it was a solid story featuring Batman & Catwoman. Was it Burton's choice to go with two villains, or some studio suit?

probably a studio decision, since the first batman movie was the only one to have only one villain, and even in that one they seemed to be setting up the harvey dent character.

i was impressed with danny de vito as the penguin, and i thought the costume and makeup design was pure beautiful hideous tim burton at his best.

i like this movie because it worked so well in bringing together tim burton's dark/whimsical sensibilities with the comic book style of batman. i think it was even better realized than his first batman film.

Anxiety said:

Yeah I think Batman returns is underrated and the first one is overrated.

Anxiety said:

Spider-Man 2 is easily the best Marvel film ever.

At least before Iron Man anyways.

NDRU said:

the first one was fun, and better than any of the joel schlockmaker sequels, but yeah - too much was riding on the franchise for WB to let tim burton let his freak flag fly too high, and it does feel stifled as a result. the sequel feels like tim burton telling WB, "toldja so...now let me do my thing."

Anxiety said:

It was more creative than the first. With everything going for it (Keaton, Basinger, Nicholson, Prince, Burton) I found it disappointing. I like it a little more in retrospect.

And indeed, 3 & 4 are among my least favorite films of all time!

NDRU said:

the nipple suits. oh, the nipple suits.

and could they have crucified the character of batgirl any worse?

Anxiety said:

It's as if he made a mistake and made the sequel to Batdance instead of Batman.

Anxiety said:

That's because of The Ass Known as Joel Schumacher. I knew the franchise was in trouble when JS said, "It's time Bruce Wayne got over the death of his parents", and that he wanted to make Batman "fun again". I wanted to kick his ass when I heard that sh!t. It shows he has no idea of what Batman is about, and no respect for comic-book writers. Thank goodness Chris Nolan gets it. We want the Frank Miller Dark Knight, not Adam West.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with a little Adam West Batman.

adam west batman is still better than joel whorehopper batman. at least the 60s series was fun to look at and had a great sense of campy style. whenever THAT series comes out on DVD, i'll excitedly grab 'em right up.

I haven't seen Iron Man yet, but I can't believe it's as good as Spider-Man 2. The first two Spidey movies are easily my 2 favorites based on comics.

AlexdeParis said:

I didn't like the Green Goblin that much in the first movie. And that whole scene with him making Aunt May finish her prayers before he put her in the hospital?
