Re: Rate The Last Movie You Watched.
Wow, you haven't even seen Iron Man yet?!
thats why its called a prediction you silly goose
Iron Man is gonna go the route Transformers did. When the 1st movie came out EVERY ONE WAS BLOWN AWAY by the FX. But having the eye that I do for spotting & knowing the difference between a truly great movie & nothing more than media hype, I could see TF for the crap movie it was.
By the time the 2nd one came out people were less impressed by the FX & thus, able to partially share in my power of "sight beyond sight" so-to-speak. Bay ended up learing the hard way movie magic can only take you so far. his botched designs of the TF (especialy the Decpticons) along with a sript that sucked like a G class star black hole, spelled his doom.
How ever your in luck. Iron Man (while super cool) is no where near the Americon TFs where & are. So they have much less to fall from grace. this means their splash wont be as bad as TF2. 75% of its rev will be earned on opening night/weekend. Many are trying to hype it to be the next greatest film since TDK (funny how that movie is the new standard in cinnimatic excellence), but many are saying it will topple TDK.
Yes I fully admit my bias in this matter....TDK F@CIN ROCKS!!! But thats due in part to superior actors & script. Not just FX. Iron Man 2 will NOT be the next land mark si fi film. It will make a weekend splash.....hock some lil red robot men to kids who's attention span are shorter than a gnats dic. A month after release the bulk of merch left on the pegs (& lets face their not breaking any toy records with that stuff), all that left will clearanced out.
the adult collectors (thats you guys *wink*) will cherry pick a few cool things, but mostly staying with the Hot Toy stuff (I don't blame you, if your gonna buy at least make it count). Hasbro will be left with lack luster sales & scrambling to find new & niffty ways to repackage toys that no one wanted the 1st time around.
So yeah....I didn't see the movie yet. But I also didn't need to a ass load of chick flicks that have been flying out of Hollywood along with all these comic movies, to know it blows like a ubber crappy made American Space Shuttle.
