RE: Movie Discussion Thread II

Saw MIB three last night. It was okay, not any better than the others but still okay. It certainly wasn't the worst movie in the world. I still think they should've stopped making them after two, or even one. The whole thing is getting a little redundant. But if you liked the first two, go see the third one. I enjoyed it. It's probably better to go see with friends though.

This sums up my opinion on Men In Black 3 nicely. It's not as funny as the first two, but it has its moments. If you're a fan of the series, you should like this film.

RE: Movie Discussion Thread II

It's a prequel set in the Alien universe but is planned to be a stand alone movie (the trailers suggest otherwise which is why some reviews of the movie I've seen are disappointed in the movie).

dmaster out.

RE: Movie Discussion Thread II

Prometheus was pretty good. It's not so much a prequel as it is an origins story set in the future. It's just explaining how alien came to be. It is also supposed to have a sequel itself, but I can't remember for sure. Could have been scarier, but it was well made and worth the ticket price for sure.

MIB was also good. Better than the second, but about equal with the first.

RE: Movie Discussion Thread II

I know I heard somewhere that Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is based of a book but really, A respected President slaying Cute,Cuddly and Friendly Evil Bloodsucking Monsters Is not something I approve of...
Until I see the Movie!
 
RE: Movie Discussion Thread II

WHY ABRAHAM

WHY DIDN'T YOU KILL EDWARD

But yes, the book was fantastic, and I'm not surprised that they decided to make a movie out of it, although I doubt it will be as good. I plan on seeing it anyways.
 
RE: Movie Discussion Thread II

Take for instance that Percy Jackson and the Olympians Movie...
