Too bad that Michelle Rodriguez is not in this movie, that would be epic.

lol'd

I think this movie will be solid, and I'll probably see it. Just think Leo is capable of more. I guess he plays what he knows.

I agree. I get sick and tired of seeing Arnie Grape in every fucking movie of his.

Saw The Hangover Part III and Man of Steel last night.

The Hangover 3
was TERRIBLE (and this is coming from a guy who LOVED the first one and even really enjoyed the second one). I found myself checking my phone quite often to see how much time was left. That's NEVER good when you're watching a movie. How big of a b**** is Justin Bartha (aka 'Doug')? Dude "starred" in three "blockbuster movies" and might have had a total of 9 lines in all three movies; and 7-8 of those lines probably came in 1 and 2. Bradley Cooper (aka 'Phil') looked checked out the entire movie to me. Felt like you could feel that he didn't even care, through his acting. And Ed Helms (aka 'Stu') has fallen into this "If I scream, 'WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!?!' or some childish scream, then people will laugh and think I'm funny" role. Really disappointing how fast his career is sinking [one need not look any further than The Office, and how bad that show was after Helms was left to carry the show after Steve Carell (aka 'Michael') left]. Helms has proven he's nothing more than a side-character at best; who's good for maybe five laughs, and that's it. Galifianakis was about the only funny thing in Part III, and even he wasn't that funny this time around. And don't even get me started on Ken Jeong (aka 'Mr. Chow'). Sure Jeong is good for a handful of laughs, but after that, he's washed up and annoying. Hollywood really reached down into the bottom of the barrel with this one, and it showed. I suppose the joke is really on us, tho; as the producers clearly threw this crap together without any real effort, and now they're laughing all the way to the bank to the tune of $108 M. #Pathetic

Man of Steel wasn't much better. Idk if it was the reviews on here that set the expectations too high for me going into it, or just my general disdain for 'Superman,' but this movie was not nearly as good as everyone on here would lead you to believe it was. The best way I can sum up Man of Steel is NON SEQUITUR! There was no flow... the plot was uninspiring... aside from the two battle scenes (the one in the streets against the girl, and the one in the air against Zod), this move was a snoozefest as well. Idk if it's just me, but casting for 'Superman' must be the hardest thing to do in Hollywood. I feel like EVERY SINGLE actor who's played 'Superman' has been just some guy they pulled off of Hollywood Blvd. There were so many plot jumps and holes within this film, it was just too much. Heck... I'd even go so far as to say Superman Returns was better than Man of Steel​.

I agree for the most part about Hangover 3 but I actually enjoyed Man of Steel. I thought it was easily better than Superman Returns.

Are you serious BD? It's going to suck ass. Some movies just don't need a sequel. Where's Shawshank part 2? Departed Again? Hell hollywood is fucking dumb they're probably make a prequel. Watch. SMFH

Oh I agree there are movies that don't need sequels. It obviously won't be as good as 300 but I can't say I think it will suck.

I won't be surprised if they have a prequel/sequel for Departed. It's a remake of Internal Affairs and there were two additional movies. (literally Internal Affairs II and Internal Affairs III)

Thought so too. The ending could have been a little better though.

Man of Steel 8/10

Flow of it was off for me, and I just prefer Batman to Superman.

WWZ - 8/10. I liked the end personally. [SP]Also, I just wanted to add that it figures the S@#$@# arabs were the ones that got Jerusalem fucked lol.[/SP] I give Man of Steel a 7/10. I really liked it, but I didn't think there was any depth at all to the villians character. [SP]And he throws him through buildings, beats the @#$@#$ out of him and the way he dies is by snapping his neck? GTFOWTWAB[/SP]

Original ending to WWZ. They cut this out and filmed a completely different ending.

I'd be down for this ending. But I actually liked how the original ended.

I thought McBride and Cera were awesome and I laughed out loud a bunch at their scenes.

Oh man that movie looks to be pretty horrible. I'll watch it when it comes out on DVD, or like in your case if I had a free ticket.

Is your free ticket from the 21 Jump Street deal on Amazon?

I would buy 21 JS for that deal, but it's literally on Starz 24/7 and I have it recorded. Probably seen it 300 times. Great movie lol
