so, to recap, t3 only good for action, matrix 2 only good for action, no comments for pirates and hulk only good for action. this is depressing. i mean, all three movies have potiential coming out there ears for character development. someone mentioned 'that movie with russel crowe in it', which ones that?
is shanghai knights still in theatre's? cause the advertisements looked good.

Yes. I mean, without a SkyNet, there can be no Terminators.

let me get this straight, Fallout 2 which came by '96 or '98 (i forget which) had SkyNet which was a part of the full picture.

Is SkyNet is an actual military super-computer? (cuz thats what it was there - found at Sierra Military Base ) or is it an invention?

Thats WAY OT but i wanna know.

It is depressing, but that's Hollywood these days, for the most part.

I didn't think T3 or M2 were _bad_ in other ways - they had a few good points and Hollywood has done FAR worse. But someone could have done a lot better. They really should have had Cameron write and direct T3, I think, judging from the weak points compared to T & T2.

As for The Hulk, I think if they were going to animate it like a superball, they should have invented a new character called Superball Man. Then it'd be slightly fresh and the animation would make more sense.

Note: Movie spoilers...

Actually I thought that the portrayal of The Hulk in the movie in terms of looks and abilities was actually pretty close to the comics. And even if the actual details of the plot differ from the comics, the spirit of it remains pretty faithful.

As for Matrix Reloaded, I think most people here are underestimating it. Certainly, in some ways, it lacks the visual power of the original (no M2 equivalent of a scene as instantly memorable as the lobby shootout scene), but the plotline is interesting in many ways and makes some rather intriguing references, i.e. Merovingian, Seraph, calling rogue programs werewolves, vampires etc.

Besides, who can forget:

“I have sampled every language, french is my favorite. Fantastic language, especially to curse with. Nom de dieu de putain de bordel de merde de saloperie de connard d’enculé de ta mère.”
