Where was the good summer blockbuster???

[Cyrusbales]

This year, we were promised great summer blockbusters, superman returns and POTC 2, yet both of these films massively underachieved, so what happened? Any thoughts? I'm just about giving up on hollywood blockbusters now, they just can't be great films anymore, mediocre at best.

 

[WorthyStevens]

Yes, we were promised great summer blockbusters out of Superman and POTC2.

And for me, they delivered on that promise.

They delivered for me as well.

 

[Cyrusbales]

I can't see superman returns being worth $200 million, surely they should have done something better with all that money? hire better writers perhaps!

He totally does.

The best film this year was brought to us by woody allen, how do these films reflect the budget in quality?

 

[Boom]

How did Pirates "underachieve?"

It broke several box office records, and it's well on it's way to grossing $300+ million in domestic box office alone.

 

[Hunter Rider]

So far ive seen 5 of the supposed summer blockbusters(missed Posiedon) and 3 of them ive enjoyed so i don't see an issue

 

[Cyrusbales]

I'm talking about quality of film, not of earnings or quality of marketing

 

[Hunter Rider]

I'm talking about quality of film, not of earnings or quality of marketing

Well that is completely subjective

 

[Flexo]

I thought DMC was better than the first film, and the first was great.

Let me guess the other two.
X3 and MI:III?

 

[Hunter Rider]

X3 and MI:III?

Nope SR and MI-III

 

[Boom]

I know. Pirate's strong box office is a pretty good indication that the general public think it is a good movie.

 

[Speedball]

Nope SR and MI-III

*shrugs* oh well.

 

[WorthyStevens]

Nope SR and MI-III

You enjoyed MI3? You don't say...

 

[Cyrusbales]

X-3, how was that a good film?
MI:III, wow, i've never seen that story before, such a basic action film
Superman: Worst super villain plot ever! First half was OK, but the second dragged on a bit
POTC 2: Wow, an hour and a half of sea, that was so worth a fiver.

 

[zer00]

Nope SR and MI-III

Then your avvy is a bit confusing

 

[Hunter Rider]

*shrugs* oh well.

i thought you were a DC guy

 

[Flexo]

You enjoyed MI3? You don't say...

Come on now, MI3 was... average...

Not horrible...

Better than MI2.

Because the earth doesn't share your mind and tastes.
And we all thank god for that.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I said i liked 3 so far,i thought he had guessed from the other thread that POTC2 was one and made the guess that X3 and Mi-3 were the others and i corrected him

 

[zer00]

Come on now, MI3 was... average...

Not horrible...

Better than MI2.

Lots of things are better than MI2

even MI2

I did not see MI3

I will

just not now
