How the hell did Prometheus 2 get the green light? That movie was fucking abysmal.

It wasn't nearly as good as it was hyped up to be but it was far from abysmal. It's just that a few relatively minor changes and a couple undeleted scenes would have made it fucking epic.

It was still better than most shit.

It really was not.

Just for you I made some math: In 2012, 2013 and 2014 (so far), I have seen a total of 366 recently released movies. Obviously that implies all types of movies, with only minimal filtering. Prometheus is only one of 7 movies to which I gave the lowest grade in my scale. It's reserved to movies that are just insulting.

For reference the other 6 are: La confr?rie des larmes (abysmal french thriller), Der Ausflug (miserable german horror movie), A? va el diablo (retarded art-house-y mexican horror), The Midnight After (haphazardly written HK zombie comedy by Fruit Chan), Moebius (laughably grotesque korean sex drama by Kim Ki-Duk) and Silent Hill: Revelation 3D (a total trainwreck).

Add Godzilla and Edge of Tomorrow.

Those are the 4 I've seen in the theater so far as well. Godzilla disappointed me, but before it released I hoped it would be worth the ticket price.

I would add HTTYD2 but I'm fine with waiting for the bluray of that one instead of battling all the kids. The only other summer movie I plan to see in the theater is this one.

Godzilla to me is a pirated dl later. Not bad per se, just not worth a trip to the theater IMO.

Edge of Tomorrow was/is a tough choice. I've thought pretty heavily about checking it out, but I'm leaning toward no.

So that's 5 movies so far this year that are theater worthy? (Cap 2, Xmen, Godzilla, Edge of Tommorrow, Guardians of the Galaxy). Seems kinda sparse, but I guess that's par for the course for movies the last few years. Only other movie the rest of the year really on my radar is Interstellar.

Edge of tomorrow was theatre worthy, Lego was awesome also but that was a while ago

#1 and #2 for the year are a February and April release respectively. #3 - #6 are all May releases, but there will be no June release that will break into the top 6 until Transformers.

That's a disappointing summer with July holding another hit or miss set of movies. Planet of the Apes, Hercules, and Lucy all need to not suck, otherwise we're looking at a decent May, meh June, meh July, and a genre diverse August that could go either way.

Some people may like them, but I don't like the Transformers movies. First one was kinda-sorta ok, rest of them have been IQ black holes with no redeeming value. I've heard people speak favorably on the Planet of the Apes movies as well, but I just can't get behind the concept and suspend my disbelief.

Hercules, eh, might be OK, the Rock is usually good in this sort of thing, but not worth a theater trip. Lucy looks fucking stupid, like that movie Jumper with Anakin Skywalker, or Push with the Human Torch.

Ninja Turtles? Lol, yeah right. Doubt I'll even pirate that. Sin City? Eh, maybe, but that's an easy movie to fuck up so I'm taking a wait and see attitude there. Waiting 9 years for a sequel is usually a bad sign.

Did you people see Sin City 1? It was really well done. They nailed the "comic" feel perfectly. I haven't seen any other movies do anything similar. Yes, they're going more for reality, but Sin City was greatness.

I love Sin City, but they weren't going for reality , it was an art film.

To me it felt like a really good stage play.

Im a believer, hearing james gunn on that podcast about him wanting a space opera to direct and gotg magically falls into his hands. I so want this to be the summer blockbuster that we deserve.

Prometheus is only one of 7 movies to which I gave the lowest grade in my scale. It's reserved for movies that are transcendent. My scale is like golf, the lower the number the better. Prometheus is perhaps this generation's greatest cinematic achievement and it ruins everything else for me. I am shivering and orgasmed *cleanly* twice just thinking about it. I have to go now

Whenever I've seen this trailer in the theater people have cheered.
