Other movies

Maybe I'll have to check them out. One I didn;t include which I saw 3 weeks back, it was release only then in the UK, was Disney's Dinosaur. Absolutely fantatsic movie. Really for kids but had enough action and sispence for the adults as well.

Officially the biggest visual effects movie of all time with over 1500 effects shots apparently.

I know your going to hate me for saying this but I loved The Ninja Turtles Movie.😛

Mystery Men?😂 That movie was awful.

Yes..but Ben Stiller was funny...

You like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles so I don't think you have any room talk 😂

I guess your right.Did you see Meet The Parents? That is one of my top ten favorite movies.

You have a great taste in movies, Dim. Many of them I like too.

Thanks DD...

EJ, haven't seen Meet the Parents...I haven't really heard anything about it.

You haven't?And Dim,I agree with Daft.You do have great taste.

I know some of these are dublicates but oh well.

Here are some of the movies I have been most let down by:

1. The Matrix ( stupid and will be forgot in 10 years)
2. The Deer Hunter (the Wedding Scene lasted ONE HOUR!)
3. Godfather 1,2,3 (boring and predictable)
4. Apocalypse Now (Great until the end )

A couple I missed.

The Breakfast Club
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
X-Men

KJ, how could you not like the Matrix. The special effects are ushering in a new era of visual effects. I guess the story line was predictable but so are all movies, more or less(except ESB of course)

Well, if you compare it to Dark City I don't really like the Matrix either...it's a glossed up ripoff in some ways..Dark City was much more whimsicial..and fresh.

And Dim contiues her ongoing persuit to use the word "whimsicial" as often as possible. 🙂

whimsicial whimsicial whimsicial whimsy whimsicial whimsy whimsy whimsicial whimsicial whimsicial whimsicial whimsicial whimsicial whimsicial whimsicial whimsicial whimsicial whimsicial whimsicial whimsy!!!!!!!! 😛

it's a wonderful word...

Regarding the Matrix, as Luke Skywalker once said "what a peice of junk".

The acting is terrible, the script is worse, the whole look of the film is stolen from Japanese Manga films and what's with the bad guys? Are they supposed to be scary? They look like librarians. I also hated all the super trendy names like Morpheus and Neo. It's a complete joke. The special effects didn't amaze me in any way because they were only there because the story and action was so terrible. The special effects are already being re-produced better in T.V ads and pop videos. In ten years, who is really going to remember the Matrix?
Dim is right about Dark City, it's ten times better than The Matrix.

I personally thought the Matrix was quite excellent. I haven't seen Dark City, but I'm sure The Matrix still has an original plotline.

You really need to see Dark City DD..there's alot that they ripped
off and then commericalized...you'd be suprised...

Speaking of things being ripped off, has anyone read the Harry
Potter books? I have not read them, but my dad has(he's a Star
Wars fan too) and he says he can't believe the author hasn't
been sued yet. He said she takes things from SW and especially
the Wizard of Oz. I guess thats why there so popular, they take
other stories that people already love and just rework them.
