It felt so shallow which in turn made all the Rule of Cool moments fall flat. I'll propably give it another try in the future, with suitable amount of alcohol.
The first Underworld movie was so boring and flat. The second one was slightly better, averting Tough Act to Follow... because it wasn't.
Do not obey in advance.Oh. My. God.
It's like one, big FMV cutscene from the '90s.
'All he needs is for somebody to throw handgrenades at him for the rest of his life...'I don't know why, but I think I've seen the LOTR trilogy more than I have any other films, and I don't consider any of them as one of my all time favorites (not even in the top 20), though it's probably one of my favorites of the last decade. There's just something about it that makes for great escapism. The awesome score helps a lot. It's probably what cemented my interest in high epic fantasy, when I'd mainly only been a fan of Conan style sword and sorcery in the past. Though I'll admit there were some parts that dragged, and that scene near the end with Frodo on the bed is unintentionally hilarious. I can totally see why people would be put off by it, and I'm actually surprised it's as popular as it is.
Is it sad that I actually find the concept interesting?

Not Quite Batman
Yeah, the Underworld movies. Haven't finished any of them, though I do want to give them another try. Though I will proudly state that I made it all the way through Son Of The Mask.
And, I hate to break it to you all, but Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is on the exact same level as the previous three in terms of quality. This nonsense has gone on long enough. Yes, nobody liked the Star Wars prequels, but just because George Lucas was involved with this too doesn't mean you have to hate it by default, people. I can't wait for someone to invent a device that objectively measures movie goodness so I can finally stop hearing about this. I mean... I didn't even love the movie, but goddamn, guys, cut out this hyperbole already.

I'll turn your neocortex into a flowerpot!I would have to say that the 2nd Underworld is worth watching, despite the nigh-inexistence of the first.
I agree with The Dark Knight TBH. It was so long. I find Christopher Nolan's movies very difficult to become emotionally invested in. It's a Long Story.
Yet I look forward to the next movie in the trilogy... the trailer was awesome.
Do not obey in advance.@Eddie: Agreed. I actually quite liked Crystal Skull. It's actually better than Temple of Doom, honestly. Say what you want about Shia La Beouf, but Doom has by far the most annoying sidekicks. (And not one, but two!)

Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember them, you are not alone.Well, I couldn't finish The Road. Great film and good at what it does, except what it does is be depressing and hopeless. Really good film but I can't finish it.

I have never walked out of a movie in a theater (the closest I've gotten was in The Tree Of Life or as I like to call it "The world's most pretentious HDTV demo reel") but one movie I watched on TV definitely comes to mind: Ang Lee's Hulk. Nick Nolte's bizarre ramblings were annoying enough but when the Hulk Dogs showed up I literally went "FUCK THIS!" and changed the channel.

At World'sEnd.
I gave up on the Pirates Of Caribbean franchise at the pont and I haven't looked back
