X-Men 3 Sucks Ass

Frodo and Sam's friendship as portrayed in the movies was just so rich and deep, and not in a "homo" way if you think I am going that direction! As were Gimili and Legolas friendship and Gandalf's and Pippen's in the final movie. Some directors can just tell a story and others can not.

my only minor gripe is that frodo became a complete pussy (whimpering in corners every time a fight broke out) and the dwarf tossing jokes.

I also didn't like the game that they were playing, when they would count how many orcs they killed like they were keeping score. Did they ever stop to think that those 'points' represented lives? Did they think that those orcs could have had families? Instead of counting by ones, they should have counted the amount of orc babies that will grow up without positive male influences in their lives, which in turn could cause them to take up a life of violence and human eatting. It's really a vicious cycle, I thought Peter Jackson should have addressed that.

Some Trilogies are good. StarWars Episodes 4 5 and 6 were good, LOTR was good. You have to say the Godfather Trilogy was good. What you are really saying is that some 1st movies in an effort to make more money do a 2nd which is decent enough to do a 3rd, but at some point it all falls apart. A perfect example are the Rocky movies, which got progressively worse until number 5 was just a joke. I kind of have a feeling that the 2nd and 3rd Pirates movies with Johnny Depp will not disappoint. the Matrix was a disaster. Did anyone ever "get it" with the 3rd movie? I know I didn't.

from what i saw, i think the pirates sequel might end up kinda cheesy...

I just can't wait to see what Chow Yun-Fat's character will look like in the 3rd movie.

me too... his american roles have been in some terrible movies. his US movies haven't even sniffed his performances in flicks like "hard-boiled" or "the killer."
