2007: Year of the Sequels

[skyblue12]

so this year there is a huge amount of sequels including:

- shrek 3
- spiderman 3
- resident evil 3: extinction
- rush hour 3
- harry potter: order of the phoenix
- live free or die hard
- pirates of the caribbean: at world's end
- fantastic 4: rise of the silver surfer
- the bourne ultimatum
- hostel II

(not sure if i'm missing any)

which movies have you been disappointed with? which movies have you liked a lot? which movies are you looking forward to?

personally i've watched shrek 3, spiderman 3, and fantastic 4. none of these 3 movies really caught my eye, but they weren't so bad that i wanted to walk out of the theater. i'm pretty excited about harry potter, since i'm a fan of the movie and novel series, and i still haven't really had a chance to watch pirates which, imo, was probably first on the list of to-see's during this summer live free or die hard just looks like a hardcore action movie, i didn't really catch any of the original die hard movies as well, so i'm not really excited about this one.

Isn't it like this every year?

Isn't it like this every year?

i dunno, i just noticed it this year.. seems like every movie coming out is like a sequel either way, that's not really the point i just wanted to discuss some of this year's upcoming and past good / bad movies

Add the following 2007 movies to the list:

- Alien vs. Predator 2
- Elizabeth: The Golden Age
- National Treasure: Book of Secrets
- Saw IV
- Mr. Bean's Holiday
- Halloween (more of a re-boot to the franchise but close enough)

And then in 2008, we've already got Star Trek XI and Indiana Jones IV.
