[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 126281, member: 134"] Technically I cheated and saw The Hobbit on new years day, but too bad! While I think these are lacking in the wonder that I experienced with LOTR, it's still the same vibe and I can't get enough of 'em. Not many 3 hour movies can make me settle in and at the end have me go, "what? it's over??" This Is 40 struck too many chords for me to deny it. My 'above average' list really is movies that stuck with me somehow. In other words, I didn't forget them moments after watching. I don't think you're wrong about The Avengers tainting everything. I do feel Iron Man 3 was much better than 2 though, which felt like nothing more than a place holder. And I really like the dialogue Shane Black writes. Total Recall I could have been fine with if they hadn't done call outs to moments from the original. It felt like they were doing their own thing, changing up the story and all, and then they'd put in either a one liner from the original, or do a moment like removing the tracking bug that completely pailed but still reminded you of the original. Worst moment was using the "get ready for a big surprise!" woman only to have it be a fake out. Had you not seen the original, the scene would not play the same and was actually kinda pointless. My kid was dying to see DM2, so I took him opening day. It was one of the best experiences I've had at the movies with him. He had such a great time, it was infectious. He had a similar good time with Cloudy 2, but I merely shrugged at that one. What can I say, I'm a sucker for the minions. Gravity is quite simply an experience. It's what seeing a movie on a large screen is all about. I don't know how it will play on a TV, but I suspect it will be like when a friend of mine finally saw Jurassic Park. He watched it on a 19" tv late at night with the sound barely on so that he didn't wake up anyone. Afterwards he was like, "meh, I don't see what the big deal was". Now if you have an 80" 3D set with full surround, your home experience might differ! I liked Monsters U even if it was Revenge of the Nerds lite. Pixar man, they tap into a happy place. [/QUOTE]
