Hell, I even picked up Street Fighter the other day (JVD version) for $3.00 and was happy about it. <br /><br />But even if I didn&#39;t have my BA in Film, I could still tell you that I wouldn&#39;t want to see this film. Or like with 2012. I can&#39;t stand Independance Day, I hated Godzilla (1998), and I disliked The Patriot. So, I passed on The Day After Tomorrow and 20,000 B.C.<br />And really, I don&#39;t think I am missing anything. So, when I saw a trailer for 2012, I had no intention of seeing it. Had it not been for the group that I was going with, I would have never see 2012. But I did, and I thought it was stupid, just like I suspected it would be. <br /><br />I love movies, and please believe that I am a movie lover, because I do love a lot of movies. But I do think sometimes that CGI is the death of cinema. It is way over done in most films. I think that filmmakers could make more films that take risks. And so I yawn most times when some really campy, CGI, event film is about to come out. <br /><br />If my reviews seem analytical, it is because if I don&#39;t like a movie I am trying to pin point what about the film that I didn&#39;t like so that my opinion on it seems more valid than just saying, &quot;Dumb.&quot;<br /><br />I do think that it is good to have multiple perspectives on one site. And it is healthy to have these discussions. But please, I love movies more than people realize. However, I just don&#39;t love every film that Disney and Jon Turtletaub put out.Ryan McDonaldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02181460499070431352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3800768339202986154.post-46167909440037347812009-12-11T20:48:04.088-05:002009-12-11T20:48:04.088-05:00I&#39;m beginning to wonder if you enjoy movies just to enjoy them anymore. I guess it works, with you giving a more analytical view of them, and me giving more of a layman view... but it seems like you&#39;re getting away from what&#39;s fun about movies. Correct me if I&#39;m wrong, please.Devon Norrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13626261431934670662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3800768339202986154.post-31920175291240629132009-12-11T17:17:46.698-05:002009-12-11T17:17:46.698-05:00This movie looks . . . pretty horrible. It doesn&#39;t look as bad as G.I. Joe, but it is coming close. I don&#39;t know, I have a hard time getting excited about anything that looks really cheesey. And especially a film directed by Jon Turteltaub. I am surprised that the don&#39;t just have Steven Summers direct this. I hope that you have a good time, but I&#39;ll pass.Ryan McDonaldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07410012766971605410noreply@blogger.com
