I just got back from seeing MacGruber.  It was amazing.  I laughed so hard I almost had an aneurysm.

[MagmarFire]

Yes it seemed like that to me too. I was.actually hoping for a sequel to that one too.

Knowing Disney, you just might get your wish.

As for me, the second movie was good. Just not as good as the first one. It was comparable to Twilight Princess in that it was strictly formula.

I honestly think it was insanely funny, yet still had very rounded characters who all stayed true to their natures, and a very strong story for its style of humor. The second movie was very funny, but perhaps lacking a little in story, and the third I found not to be funny at all really, but had a very good story. I think the original will always remain among my top movies of all time.

In regards to the second movie, the pop culture references and surprisingly-epic moments more than made up for it. I actually didn't notice a lack in story, actually.

Saw the first Star Wars for the first time the other night.

Awesome.

Needless to say, I'm looking forward to seeing next one! :D

First as in phantom menace or a new hope?

Either way you're pretty behind.

XD

[Twilight Wolf]

A New Hope. The original, from 1977.

Of course that one is amazing. You'll be disappointed in Revenge of the Sith, if you have yet to see it, but you'l die of awesome from Return of the Jedi.

Of course you look back on those movies and say, that first one was shot on a low budget and a time crunch, and still looks as good as the stuff we have today.

Revenge of the Sith would have been much better if they didn't overuse the CG and if they made Anakin's transition to the dark side seem less abrupt.  He goes from accidentally aiding in the killing of Mace Windu to killing children in about ten minutes.  It would have been much more believable if they showed him killing some older Jedi, whom he could have seen as an actual threat, then slipping further toward the dark side, far enough to kill children.  This Wookieepedia article on Operation: Knightfall shows that Darth Vader didn't just march into the temple and start killing children right away as the movie made it seem.

Also, I recommend you watch all the Star Wars films, and then watch 2001: A Space Odyssey, Forbidden Planet, and Solaris (the 1972 version, I haven't seen the 2002 version), to see just how much better they are.

"The Empire Strikes Back" did not disappoint. Looking forward to the next film! :D

[DW]

Ironman is still great the second time...one of my favorites ever...I need to see the sequel.

[Mysterious F.]

Eraserhead (1976) - David Lynch's first movie. I'm afraid of being a parent now.

Badlands (1973) 4th viewing - Terrence Malick's first. So dreamlike and mysterious.

[MagmarFire]

"The Empire Strikes Back" did not disappoint. Looking forward to the next film!

Return of the Jedi does not disappoint, just to reiterate.

And I'm looking forward to Toy Story 3, of course.

[Mysterious F.]

I'm seeing Toy Story 3 opening day.

It'll be the first time in years I've actually been in a movie theatre.

[Twilight Wolf]

"The Empire Strikes Back" did not disappoint. Looking forward to the next film!

Return of the Jedi does not disappoint, just to reiterate.

And guess what? It didn't!

Last night I saw The Phantom Menace. I enjoyed it very much, and the more advanced CGI effects made everything even more realistic and engrossing.

I can say one thing, though -- I can definitely see why so many people hated Jar-Jar Binks. I can also see why so many people love him.

[Mysterious F.]

Wait, is this the first time you've seen any of them?
