The first one was awesome though.i just saw this tonight and it was great...i'm not sure what people expect out of these movies. the fight scenes were 9 million times better than the first one. the story was goofy but just as goofy as every other plot in movies today. blueraying this one.
Did anybody think it was funny that they made a few references to Obama being president, instead of a fictional one like in a lot of movies? And then that staple bureaucratic wet blanket that comes in and trys to take command and will doom the earth has orders directly from the president to do so. They really hung him out to dry, but not on purpose I'm sure.

I'd like to see Invictus, but I haven't heard any buzz about it. I like Clint Eastwood as a director...
I've heard a glowing review of 'Avatar', but I bet that movie will disappoint. A lot of people will be drawn into the bright lights and colors and such... I don't know if they'll rave about the story, though.

Instead he'll be mocking humanity with rubber-people and pixels.

It seemed like a whole lot of effort to make a point that's been made better and for a lot less. It was okay. I wouldn't see it again.ALUmnus wrote:So he spent 10 years working on special effects technology to make a movie that looks like a video-game trailer or something I'd see on SyFy.

Old favourites get a new look in 2010 with a raft of blockbuster releases featuring tried and tested characters.
These include a 3D interpretation of Alice in Wonderland from director Tim Burton and a new take on the Robin Hood legend starring Russell Crowe.
Actor Michael Douglas will reprise his Oscar-winning performance as corporate raider Gordon Gekko in a belated sequel to 1987 thriller Wall Street.
And the stars of a big-screen version of 1980s TV show The A-Team will be hoping audiences still love it when a plan comes together.
Following the enormous success of New Moon, a third instalment in the Twilight franchise is sure to have box-office tills ringing when it arrives in July.
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse will be followed towards the end of 2010 by the penultimate Harry Potter adventure and a third Narnia film, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
The 3D boom looks certain to continue with a third Toy Story, a fourth Shrek and a seventh Saw all making use of the format.
Iron Man 2, meanwhile, will see Robert Downey Jr's comic book hero face a formidable new foe, played by Wrestler star Mickey Rourke.
Follow-ups to Meet the Fockers, Cats & Dogs and The Bad Lieutenant will be hoping to cash in on residual affection for their predecessors.
Disney, meanwhile, will be counting on gamers coming out in numbers to see its adaptation of popular computer game Prince of Persia.
As usual the first few months of the year will be dominated by movies vying for honours in the Hollywood awards season.
These include the George Clooney film Up in the Air, gruelling Cormac McCarthy adaptation The Road and hotly tipped Oscar contender Precious.
Other potential prize winners include Clint Eastwood's Nelson Mandela drama Invictus and Peter Jackson's supernatural thriller The Lovely Bones.
Cinemagoers will also get the opportunity in February to see Shutter Island and The Wolfman, two high-profile features originally slated for release in 2009.
March sees a new version of 1981's Clash of the Titans reach our screens, with Avatar star Sam Worthington as mythical hero Perseus.
April, meanwhile, sees the release of Kick-jerk, a comic book-inspired action comedy from Layer Cake director Matthew Vaughn.
May finds Carrie Bradshaw and friends returning in the second film to be based on hit TV series Sex and the City.
It will be followed into cinemas by new versions of 1980s favourites Footloose and The Karate Kid, with Gossip Girl's Chase Crawford and Will Smith's son Jaden in roles originally played by Kevin Bacon and Ralph Macchio respectively.
Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan is keeping people guessing about Inception, a science-fiction thriller starring Leonardo DiCaprio that will hit cinemas in August.
But punters should have some idea what to expect from The Expendables, a Sylvester Stallone opus that sees the Rocky man joined by a host of action stars from past and present.
The prevailing trend, though, is towards established film titles from yesteryear given a hi-tech makeover.
A case in point is Tron Legacy, a "re-imagining" of Disney's ground-breaking 1982 fantasy that will arrive in December.

It isn't a chick flick but has enough romance for the ladies to think it is. George Clooney was very good in the lead role. Overall, I'd definitely recommend seeing it.That's how I felt too. Good review.
James Cameron's completely immersive spectacle "Avatar" may have been a little too real for some fans who say they have experienced depression and suicidal thoughts after seeing the film because they long to enjoy the beauty of the alien world Pandora.http://www.cnn.com/2010/SHOWBIZ/Movies/ ... index.html
...........
"Ever since I went to see 'Avatar' I have been depressed. Watching the wonderful world of Pandora and all the Na'vi made me want to be one of them. I can't stop thinking about all the things that happened in the film and all of the tears and shivers I got from it," Mike posted. "I even contemplate suicide thinking that if I do it I will be rebirthed in a world similar to Pandora and the everything is the same as in 'Avatar.' "
