Megan's Summer Movie Opinions

[leia131]

And they are, of course, only my opinions. And you are, of course, free to disagree.

Movies I will be seeing even if I have to walk to Burlington to do it:
-Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Unless Indy bites it (INCREDIBLY unlikely), there's pretty much no way I will not like this movie.


Movies I really want to see, but there will be no walking to Burlington involved:
-Sex and the City. I really like the show, and even though I'm afraid of what might happen in it, I have to see the movie to find out what ultimately happens to them all. Does Charlotte get knocked up? Does Carrie get married? Inquiring minds want to know!
-Wanted. Angelina Jolie + James McAvoy + guns + explosions = SIGN ME UP. I love her, I love him, I love it when shot blows up good. ROCK.
-The Dark Knight. I'm going to have to give in, watch Batman Begins, and go see this. Because I love Heath Ledger, and I feel like supporting the movie that he essentially died for is the least I can do for him. Plus, I like Batman, and it's probably going to be really good.


Movies I could see, if someone wanted to go and I had nothing better to do:
-Iron Man. I hear it's good, and I like superhero movies.
-Get Smart. I know nothing about the original show, but I like Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway, so who knows?  It looks like it could be funny.
-Wall E. I don't really have a strong desire to see it, but it'll probably be really cute. And it's Pixar, and they're good at what they do. Also, I loved Ratatouille.
-Mamma Mia! I didn't even knoew they were making a movie out of this, but hey, I like musicals.


Movies I will not be seeing:
-Speed Racer. I don't know who decided it was a good idea to make a movie out of an old Japanese cartoon, but it's not.
-Prince Caspian. I really did not like The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. I'll think re-read the books instead. I just bought The Horse and His Boy, in fact.
-You Don't Mess With the Zohan. And I'm not paying $8.00 to try.
-Kung Fu Panda. Though I'm not going to lie, my mother will probably get it from Netflix later, and I will probably watch it with her.
-The Incredible Hulk. Didn't they already make this movie? And didn't it suck major ass?
-Hellboy 2. Didn't see the first one, don't really want to see this one.
-The X-Files: I Want to Believe. As much as I like the X-Files, I haven't even watched it enough to appreciate a movie. And I didn't see the other X-Files movie either.
-The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Why, for the love of God, would you make a Mummy movie with a different actress playing Evie, and with the son grown up, but with Brendan Frasier looking no older? I really really REALLY like both Brendan Frasier and the three other movies from this franchise (yes, even The Scorpian King) but I just can't see this one.


Movies you could not pay me to see:
-The Love Guru. It just looks really bad.
-Step Brothers. Yet another Will Ferrell movie with the same stupid jokes that I will not be seeing. (Although I liked Talladaga Nights and Blades of Glory. God only knows why.)
-Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. I watched about five minutes of the first one on TV one day, and I almost threw up. Read the books, they're so much better. (I started the fourth one yesterday, in fact.)


Movies I am undecided about:
-The Happening. I never met an M. Night Shamalan movie I didn't like, but I'm also wary of being scared, and it looks scary. I still haven't seen Signs, either.
-Hancock. It's Will Smith in a superhero movie. I like Will Smith, I like superhero movies, but I haven't seen anything about this one that has made me go "OMG MUST SEE IT."

This is what I decided to do today rather than getting dressed. :)

You liked Blades of Glory because it was amazing, and I agree with the 2nd list.

Ok...the new The Incredible Hulk is more comic book like than the other Ang Lee one. Marvel over saw this movie like they did with Iron Man. It also ties into Iron Man and will have bits leading into the Thor, Capt. America and Avengers movies coming out in the next 2 years.

:)

Ahhhhhhhh I see. I was really confused about the Hulk movie. I get it now. :)

Also, the more I hear about it, the more I want to see Iron Man.

[schmoo999.livejournal.com]

You should see it if you love Superhero movies. It is really one of the good ones. Also if you do stay through the credits:D

Well, Indy Doesn't Die.

Can't Die.

Won't Die.

There's an entire Tv series of him as an old man telling tales of his youth...

He might lose an eye...


He also can't die because he's an Archaeologist...

And we're just that DAMN GOOD!

Oh, I know. I was just thinking of the one thing that would make me dislike the movie. Cause nothing else is going to do it. ;)

[leia131.livejournal.com]

Ok! I trust you. :)

Indiana Jones: YES
Dark Knight: YES
Sisterhood: ABSOLUTELY NO WAY

There's a new M Night movie coming out? Ooooh. :)

[leia131.livejournal.com]

I'm glad we're in agreement. :)


Yeah, but it looks creepier than usual, and I think it's rated R. We could maybe give a shot regardless though.

I agree absolutely 100% with EVERYTHING you had to say. Except for me the "Sex and the City" movie would have to be bumped up into the Indy category, just because there's so much hype about it. I'm not going to lie--I've seen full length trailers and SatC looks really bad. Like, REALLY bad. Which is a terrifying prospect to me. But you know what? That is why I HAVE to see it. Just to make sure. And in case I don't like how anything ends, I'm going to pretend that it's not canon because it's not in the tv show format.
I laughed really hard at your Zohan comment. And I agree. I thought we had all escaped Adam Sandler for good, but I guess not.

[leia131.livejournal.com]

I read a whole article on SatC, and it didn't actually sound that bad. All the actresses seem to be pretty happy with it, so I think that's a good sign.


And thank you. I like to think I'm wittier than Adam Sandler. Even we talking about him. :)
