The Summer Movies so far.

[Spider-Bat]

Well 3 of the big summer movies are out, and I think only one was great.

Shrek the third was a let down, it just didn't have much to it. I thought Arty would evolve into a hero, and that the knights of the round table would come to help him at the end and it would be the beginning of King Arthur and his Knight, I was waiting for a joke about Lancelot and Gwen, but nothing.

I was hoping for more and got nothing much.

POTC 3 was a huge let down, I still can't get over how bad and weak it was, especially after how great the first 2 were.

Spider-Man 3 though is a whole other story, that is a great movie!!!

I loved it, I saw it twice and need to go again, I snuck into it after seeing Pirates just so I could see something good that day, plus I just had to see it again, I caught it at a good part right near the big climax. I love Spidey and can't wait for more. It deserves all that money it made.

 

[Speedball]

Complete opposite for me.
Haven't seen Shrek, but I would probably like it, because I liked the first two.
Spider-man 3 sucked horribly. It had a lot of nothing going on and the villians were pathetic and underdeveloped.
POTC was perfect to me. It had everything I wanted in it, and more.

 

[Tempest19]

Shrek 3 let down.
SM3 AWESOME!!!!
POTC3 great, but not the best of the summer.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Didn't see Shrek, but of SM3 and AWE,

SM3 - 10/10 - LOVED IT!

AWE - 4/10 - Complete mess of a story with a final battle and humor that saves it from being worse.

A superhero message board is probably not the best place to ask this question

 

[Darth Elektra]

POTC: AWE is the best summer movie so far!

Shrek 3: 6/10. Pretty disappointing.

Spiderman 3: 7/10, disappointing.

POTC: AWE: 9/10, so far the best!

 

[danoyse]

Pirates 3, without a doubt. Best movie of the summer so far. t:

Spiderman 3 - 8/10. I liked it, but too many villians and the story suffered for it.

Shrek 3 - 7/10. Not as funny as the first two, but enjoyable.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Shrek 3 was the worst of the trilogy.

Spider-Man 3 was a huge let down for me. It needed more character development.

POTC - haven't seen it yet

 

[nosebleed.]

There are mixed reviews on all 3 of the big summer blockbusters released so far. RT has the highest rating at %61 (SM3). I'm thinking people are just getting tired of sequels.

The people are coming to see them, so I don't think so. Critics, maybe, general public, no.

 

[nosebleed.]

Yeah, people are coming to see them but look at the drastic drops in SM3's box office. 2nd week it dropped 61% and then 50%. The general public speaks.

 

[Tempest19]

S3 and POTC3 will have just as sharp declines, I bet. They were/are all front loaded.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Yeah, people are coming to see them but look at the drastic drops in SM3's box office. 2nd week it dropped 61% and then 50%. The general public speaks.

But their initial takes were so massive it was bound to happen. I mean, few movies debute to over 100 million dollars, let alone 150 million dollars.

 

[L0ngsh0t]

I haven't and won't see Shrek but how bout these three...?


AWE-9+/10
SM3 9/10
28 weeks later 8/10--best horror sequel in years

 

[Spider-Fan]

28 Weeks Later was a great sequel.

 

[ultimatefan]

The common theme so far seems to be "the summer of overstuffed threequels". The common criticism to both Spidey 3, Shrek 3 and POTC3 is that all of them have too many characters and subplots going on, which seems to come from the "make it bigger and bigger" attitude that studios have with sequels, instead of just worrying about making the best movie you can.

It more has to do with rushing them out... A good screenplay takes a lot of time and a lot of rewrites... The multiple characters thing can work if it's well-written.

 

[Lord Blackbolt]

Well..I loved Spiderman 3. Saw that 2 times so far.

I saw Shrek 3 too....that was pretty bad. With one or two good jokes. I say put that franchise to rest. Maybe make it into a TV series or something?

And I still haven't seen Pirates yet.

So far....for me..Spiderman is wins for me. I didn't look at spoilers and info to get spoiled....so everything in the movie was a big suprise. And I loved it. And I thought there was a lot of character development. It's a blockbuster with real heart and emotion...and not cardboard cut outs. At least to me.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

I thought SM3 and POTC3 were both great.

Shrek 3 i have no interest in seeing it.

But there are a ton of other films due out in the next few months.

 

[PowersOfMind]

Spiderman 3 I liked but it didnt thrill me like the first two.
AWE, I loved it. The best movie of the summer. Until when and if I see differently.
Shrek 3 I havent seens and probably won't till it comes on dvd.

Here's hoping Transformers, Die Hard, and FF2 are really great.

 

[david misas]

Shrek 3 i have no interest in seeing it.

im not interested in seeing shrek either, i thought the 2nd was horrible. spiderman was ok but im not too crazy about it. cant wait for fantastic four to be released - that's the only one i am looking forward to ...

why do you think critic hate on third movies? Can anyone come up with a third movie that got good reviews?
