Entertainment-wise, 2007 has been a disappointing year...SO FAR!

[Catman]

Everyone, except me, hated Spider-Man 3.
Shrek the Third was a letdown.
Sopranos finale was a piece of crap.

If Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer ends up being a masterpiece it will be the most shocking year since `99 when a white man (Eminem) dominated the rap world.

[Fran]

Don't count on that happening.

We have already seen this summer's masterpiece...

[nosebleed.]

The Simpsons will not disappoint.

[Catman]

We have already seen this summer's masterpiece...

You mean Knocked Up? Or Paris Hilton going to jail? :huh:

[Lord Blackbolt]

Spiderman 3 was awesome. Shrek and Pirates were a let down....but Knocked up and Oceans 13 made up for it

[Rezzo]

If Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer ends up being a masterpiece

With a PG rating :wow:

Only movies I liked this year were 300 and Zodiac and this year hasn´t been a disappoint with music, had some pretty good albums come out this year and there´s still more to come but movie wise it has been a disappointing year

[Fran]

The Simpsons will not disappoint.

I have a feeling that will make me fall in-love with the show once again. And probably have me bust out the DVDs.

You mean Knocked Up? Or Paris Hilton going to jail? :huh:

Both! :up:

[nosebleed.]

Spiderman 3 was awesome. Shrek and Pirates were a let down....but Knocked up and Oceans 13 made up for it

Oceans 13 was good? I HATED 12...it was such a copout.

[terry78]

When some more FF reviews come in, we'll see what's up.

[nosebleed.]

You mean Knocked Up? Or Paris Hilton going to jail? :huh:

2008 will be Paris Hiltong going to jail and getting Knocked Up.

[Excel]

die hard!!

what happene din sapranos? i stopped watching year sago.

[Super Kal]

what about Transformers?

doesn't that have promise?

[Lord Blackbolt]

Oceans 13 was good? I HATED 12...it was such a copout.

Yeah, 12 does suck. But I thought 13 was better than 12.

[Catman]

this year hasn´t been a disappoint with music

Mainstream music has been alright.

Both! :up:

Paris going to jail has been the highlight of the year.

what happene din sapranos?

It ended with a cliffhanger. :csad:

what about Transformers?

doesn't that have promise?

Definitly. Transformers will kick ass!

[Catman]

Oh, and I forgot to add that Death Proof was horrible. I loved Planet Terror. I loved the fake trailers. However...Death Proof was horrible. :(

[Danger Mouse]

Ocean's 13 was very good. Made up for its predecessor. :up:

So far, my top 2007 movies are 300, Blades of Glory, Next, Ocean's 13.

[GoldenAgeHero]

spiderman 3 sucked balls. POTC3 was pretty darn good.(alot better then SM3).
Knocked up=sweet!!!

[nosebleed.]

Don't count out Balls of Fury.

[Lord Blackbolt]

POT3 was crap. IMO

[Catman]

TMNT was good :)

http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q293/SuperSpidey999/tmnt-1.jpg

[nosebleed.]

This has been the year of the divided sequels. SM3, Shrek 3 and PotC3 have all garnered such divided opinions from everyone I've heard. Half of the people like it, the other half hate them with a passion. So weird. I've only seen SM3, I liked it but I can see why others don't. I guess its all a matter of expectations.

[Catman]

I guess its all a matter of expectations.

Exactly. Its like everyone expected The Sopranos to end without a cliffhanger. :csad:

[Excel]

blades of glory was great!

[Danger Mouse]

blades of glory was great!
Yep. Just thinking about the movie makes me wanna take my shirt off and go for a body slide! :up:

[Kritish]

Odds are that F4 will be a let down, possibly as bad as Ghost Rider. 300 and Zodiac were good, I’m looking forward to Live Free or Die Hard. But I doubt it’ll be awesome.

[Catman]

Odds are that F4 will be a let down, possibly as bad as Ghost Rider.

You just want this movie to suck, don't ya! :cmad:

[Danger Mouse]

Ooh, I forgot about Ghost Rider! Another one that made it to my top 2007 movies list! :up:

[eat aliens]

300, Spider-man 3, TMNT, and Blades of Glory have been my favorites so far this year.

The Simpsons.....I just don't care anymore. I doubt if I'll even bother to see the movie. :o

[Mee]

Meh, it's been alright for me.

Ocean's, Pirates, 300, all very good. SM3 was decent. Shrek I figured would be crap. I don't watch Sopranos, and Rise of the Silver Surfer will suck.


:trans:

[Spade]

Spider-Man 3 was a huge disappointment. I have a feeling Rise of the Silver Surfer will be just what I expect it to be- a marginally better film than the first that may not be worth watching. Transformers is one where I may or may not see it. We'll have to see how the reviews go. I heard Shrek the Third was a see or a miss from my family, so I chose the latter. I was explicitly warned not to see POTC3 and don't feel I'm missing out on anything after seeing how POTC2 played out. None of the Ocean's interested me, and neither does this one. Ghost Rider was okay, though now that I have time to mull over it I don't think it was quite as good as I first thought it to be. I still feel 300 wasn't the masterpiece everyone claimed it to be, though it was good for the most part. I want to see TMNT real bad and will be renting it soon, so the verdict's out on that.

Paris Hilton made my year entertainment-wise. Not that I care, just that Paris crying about imaginary injustices and the media scratching it's head as to why people don't seem to care is a kick every time.

[IAmHe9]

QFT.

[Catman]

I was explicitly warned not to see POTC3

Whoever warned you was a moron. POTC3 is awesome!

[IAmHe9]

If you mean music, video games, and literature as well as movies when you say 'entertainment', the topic title applies to them as well.

[Kaboom]

potc3 was :up:
sm3 was :down
havent seen oceans 13 yet
and transformers looks :up: bc Michael bay makes oscar worthy filsm :eyeroll:

He's not looking for an Oscar...just lots of money to fund his future plans to take over the world. GMC flame painted cars for everyone.

Yes, thats what I meant.

exactly my point!

[Catman]

Is Brett Ratner gonna be his vice-Ruler?

[Abaddon]

I don't remember much about Transformers so maybe I can enjoy the movie for what it is.

[Spidey-Bat]

I haven't even bothered to go to the theaters this year.

[Dodger]

Just wait until SUPERBAD comes out. I really think that movie will be the comedy of the summer. Surpassing KNOCKED UP

(which is redundant since it's made by the same people :D)

I don't know if it'll surpass Knocked Up but it does look really good.

[JP]

I don't care for Pirates. I liked SM3. Don't care for Transformers. FF is crap. Simpsons died a long time ago.

You just hate everything, don't ya?

[JP]

You just hate everything, don't ya?

I enjoyed SM3. :yay:

I haven't seen the last 2 Pirates films, and probably wont ever.

The Simpsons movie should have came out years. Especially since the series hasn't been funny in God knows when.

And Michael Bay is.. well, Michael Bay. :dry:

Maybe FF will surprise us all.

[The Shredder]

TMNT was good :)

http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q293/SuperSpidey999/tmnt-1.jpg

Agreed. :up:

Looking forward to The Simpsons. Optimistic about FF2 and transformers. Never been a POTC, or Harry Potter fan. Not too sure about Die Hard 4, with the rating and all, but will definately see. And I enjoyed SM3 for what it was.

[Halcohol]

So far I've loved 300, ALL of Grindhouse (especially Death Proof!), TMNT, and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.

I absolutely cannot freakin' wait for F4: Rise of the Silver Surfer, Live Fee or Die Hard, and Transformers.

Also, I haven't seen Spider-Man 3 yet :p

I can't wait for Transformers and Live Free Or Die Hard.

[Downhere]

I don't know, it's been a good year so far in my book.

Ghost Rider (Good mindless fun)
300 (Freakin' awesome movie, my fave of the year)
Vacancy (Another awesome movie, great atmosphere on that one)
SM3 (Up there with 300, amazing end to an amazing trilogy)
POTC 3 (Great but had its flaws)
TMNT (Great to see the turtles back in action!)
Smokin' Aces (Another awesome movie)
Music And Lyrics (A funny Rom-Com)
Disturbia (Pretty good)


So far so good, plus there are a lot of other good films to look forward to as well.

[Immortalfire]

Everyone, except me, hated Spider-Man 3.


Everyone? That's a tad extreme.

[Neptune]

Am i the only one that didn't like 300? Man that movie was pointless. SM3 was horrible. TMNT was allright. Heroes season finale was a letdown. But i'm really really looking forward to the Simpsons movie.

[The Kid]

TMNT was good :)

http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q293/SuperSpidey999/tmnt-1.jpg

one single episode of the 2003 series completely outclasses that movie, so no. :dry:

Here's the best episode of the 2k3 series incase anyone was wondering:

300 is nothing but a fad, yes.

[Dr Lee]

The heroes season finale was a let down????:wow: That was the best season finale of them all. Now 24 was a real letdown imho.

Moviewise-

Spidey3- Bleh no where near as good as Spidey 2 and although i get the reasoning for the cockyspidey dance, i hated that part of the movie with a passion.

POTC3- 2 convoluted, they FKed up the best entrance for Jack so far, Many of the individual resolutions were poor in my opinion. POTC2 was far better.

TMNT- only complaint was that it's too short.

Transformers, Live free or Die Hard, Underdog and The Simpsons are the only movies i'm really looking forward to.

FF2:RSS is getting panned universally by the critics, Shrek 3 will only be seen by me if they have the exclusive TF trailer.

[Showtime]

Spiderman 3 was the biggest disappoint I've evern known of a movie that I anticipated so highly.

[The Apatow Crew]

Everyone, except me, hated Spider-Man 3.
Shrek the Third was a letdown.
Sopranos finale was a piece of crap.

If Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer ends up being a masterpiece it will be the most shocking year since `99 when a white man (Eminem) dominated the rap world.I liked Sm3.

and why should that be a surprise?:csad: :dry:

[JP]

The 24 season finale puts the anticlimactic Heroes finale to shame.

[Erzengel]

Maybe since the first one was disappointing?

[PLAS]

honestly, the best music I've heard this year is very far removed from the mainstream

as far as movies, I haven't felt interested in seeing many of this year's blockbusters, although 300 was mind blowing

I feel disappointed with the people who didn't take the time to actually take the effort to think through the Heroes season finale

as far as the whole paris hilton stuff, really? who cares? why should we? is she that much of an empathic individual that people should devote so much attention to her every fart? **** paris, I've got important stuff to do

a friend of mine told me how he though I'm getting way too detached from a lot of stuff, but I really find a lot of stuff to be banal, superficial, lacking in substance and honesty and it seems people's perceptions of reality have stopped involving anything that does not directly affect them in a beneficial way

and people worry about the transformers movie?

go read a book

[kane9321]

spider-man...just awsome..people just wanna hate on the webslinger
potc- ok movie..not that big of a deal
300-just wow...wow
ff will be damned good- same with spidey
transformers- I just cant get into it. Its not ''my'' transformers from my childhood..I still go watch it though.
live free or die hard- will be the ****e

Lost season finale is the best so far

[keith_v]

I don't think this year was that bad. It's just that all the things that should have been great, were trash. Look at SM3 and Sopranoes finale.

But as for movies, I 'm very pleased. 300, Zodiac, 28 Weeks Later, Mr. Brooks, and then Transformers, 30 Days of Night, The Mist, and I am Legend are still coming out this year.

And less we not forget the brain-explodingly awesome Lost season finale.

[Arkady Rossovich]

Everyone, except me, hated Spider-Man 3.
Shrek the Third was a letdown.
Sopranos finale was a piece of crap.

If Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer ends up being a masterpiece it will be the most shocking year since `99 when a white man (Eminem) dominated the rap world.

I dont think so,especially with rumors of Galactus being his Ultimate form and not his 616 form.The year is nearly half over,and nothing really amazing has happened.This..happens from time to time.

[Milkman95]

LOST finale was awesome, Heroes was pretty good as well.

Spider-man 3 was a letdown, 300 & Pirates were just okay, and it looks as though FF2 is going to be another "shoulda-woulda-coulda".

Ocean's 13 delivered in my opinion though........We'll see what Bruce Willis and Michael Bay can deliver soon enough.

[Lightning Strykez!]

Actually, word on the street (from the advanced screenings) is that FF2 is surprisingly good. Still waiting for the legitimate critical reviews though (AICN's contribution apparently was a fluke).

But what I've heard is enough to finally make me change my avatar. :up:

I hope you're right, but the running time is still my biggest concern for FF2.

[PLAS]

I used to be concerned about movies not being made the way I'd want the to be made, now what I do is just not watch them if I'm not interested

[Johnichi Chiba]

To me this year has been ok so far entertainment-wise.

300 - Beautiful mindless fun
Smokin' Aces - ehhhhhh...it was ok...kinda
Zodiac - great movie
Grindhouse - more mindless fun
SM3 - a huge frustrating letdown
Lost Season-finale - great
28 weeks later - meh, it was ok

And I'm strangely looking forward to FF2 and Transformers. Overall, this year doesn't seem too bad, but it sure ain't gonna be no 2008 that's for sure.

[Dr Lee]

2008? Whats coming out then?

300, Hot Fuzz, Knocked Up. So far I don't think 2007 has been too bad.

Gah! How the hell did i forget about Hot Fuzz?

Best comedy so far this year...

[The Apatow Crew]

You know you like it and your gonna be there opening weekend.

[Warhammer]

My rundown of 2007:

Films:

- Ghost Rider sucked.
- Black Snake Moan was good.
- Zodiac was great.
- 300 was good.
- Spider-Man 3 sucked.
- Shrek 3 sucked.
- Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End was decent, with some redeeming qualities, but compared to The Curse of the Black Pearl, it sucked.
- Ocean's Thirteen was great, and broke the "third movie curse of Summer '07".

(I haven't seen too much this year, YET)

So far, Summer 2007 really sucks. I haven't seen Knocked Up yet. For the up and coming, they better be good. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer better be good (but I am sure it won't be, making Marvel 0-3 this year). 1408, Evan Almighty, Live Free or Die Hard, Rescue Dawn, Transformers, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, The Simpsons Movie, The Bourne Ultimatum, Rush Hour 3, The Invasion, and Halloween all look promising, and will hopefully be great. After hyping up Summer 2007 all last year, I feel like I have a bad taste in my mouth.

:csad:

TV

- Prison Break was great.
- Heroes was great, until I saw the season finale.
- Boston Legal has been nothing but great.
- House has been great.
- The Dresden Files was a great new show.
- WWE has been between good and terrible.
- This years The Ultimate Fighter has been pretty good, so far.
- Smallville has probably had it's worst season.
- Reality/Competition TV has started...

...yeah, kinda disappointing.

[batnkevlar]

Dude, no way last season of Smallville was the worst... Season 4 with the witches was... the season finale was a letdown tho...

as for Knocked Up, it was pretty freakin hilarious...

[Spade]

Bizarro appearing out of no place is why I felt Smallville could have been loads better. There's also a difference between 'things left untied' and how they left things at the end. It could have been better by loads, plotwise.

[Rorschach II]

I'm actually glad the entire internet is somewhat hesitant about the coming fantastic bore movie. My expecations are fully in check now.

I expect completely average acting, directing, writing, and maybe some sexy shots of alba to make it worthwhile...

:word:

There's no way to know for sure, but if Tim Story really does read the Hype, then maybe it will be much better than we're all expecting it to be.

I personally would rather be pleasantly surprised than disappointed, so I'm keeping my expectations low.

[Dr Lee]

looking at the news about the next season i think they may have 'jumped the shark'.

[batnkevlar]

yeah, supergirl=jumping the shark...

[Warhammer]

I kinda like the Supergirl idea, but (referring to above) at least Season 5 had Milton Fine and a quick Zod build up. Season 5's finale was miles ahead of Season 6's, too.

[Lord Blackbolt]

This season of Smallville was the best. Green Arrow was the best thing this season

[batnkevlar]

This season, or last season, was the best... worst was seaosn 4 with the witches...

[Warhammer]

I thought the witches were in Season 5....

oh no, wait, the vampire thing was in Season 5.
The Season 4 finale was great, though.
