[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 1991020, member: 63"] Well, then let's just say that my bar does not exist in this reality. I enjoyed DareDevil, even though I knew it was weak and cheesy. I enjoyed Batman 2, even though I knew penguins cannot be menacing. I enjoyed Hulk even though it was a power fantasy with no real tension. I enjoyed Batman 3 because I did not know Schumacher would get even worse with part 4. I enjoyed all three Blade movies. I enjoyed Batman 1. I enjoyed both Spiderman movies. I loved both X-Men movies. I despised Elektra. Look, there are good movies, like The Mummy, or Medicine Man, or National Lampoon's Family Vacation. And there are bad movies, like Scorpion King, or Highlander, or Naked Gun 33 1/3. Good movies are different from bad movies in that I don't leave the movie disappointed when I leave a good movie. When I leave a good movie, I'm happy, entertained, and willing to overlook a few weak spots because the story was compelling. Then there are terrible movies, like Mortal Kombat Annihilation, or Highlander 2. These movies make me regret wasting my time watching them, because someone should have read the movie's script before it was made, or looked at the dailies, and realized the movie was going to suck. A TV show can afford to have a terrible episode or two, but multi-million dollar movies should not suck that much. But, joyously, there are wonderful movies too. Movies like the first Matrix, or The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. These movies are well-done, entertaining, and original. They are the sorts of stories I hope to be able to tell. See, I'm not always negative. I'm not even opposed to 'bad' movies, because some movies have to be less good than others. But I just don't see why terrible movies are released and then advertised as if they're actually worth our time. I went to Elektra expecting to see a bad movie. I was still disappointed. [/QUOTE]
