My post just meant that every ****movie ever made gets a sequel, but not Dredd.
A movie where almost the whole internet aches for a sequel, cause critically it was almost acclaimed and everyone I know loved it, but only numbers and the one with Stallone prevents it from being made.

what counted most is what the movie was missing the most.

if all those adoring fans went to see it in theaters we WOULD have gotten a sequel. Hollywood would not say no to money making projects.
no one cared to see Dredd, most people saw it online or waited for the Red Box, so there you go,

(the same reason Mad Max was beat by Pitch Perfect 2 on opening weekend, all those adoring fans of Mad Max were home playing videogames waiting for the movie to drop on torrent sites

I still have the soundtrack CD, I think that's about the best thing about the movie.

Sorry. I will never buy that. They can stuff me full of free popcorn, drinks and candy, but not gonna buy that at this current time. Lebron has a long way to go.

I think Lebron's the better player, purely because he's such a freakish physical specimen. But the history books will always say Jordan because of the rings.

Because of the rings, but more importantly, the media.

What? The Harry Potter film series, Shrek, The Jason Bourne trilogy, Casino Royale, Pirates of the Caribbean, No Country for Old Men, Kill Bill, wALL e, the incredibles, Hellboy 1 and 2, Sin City, 300, District 9, V for Vendetta, Star Trek, and those are just a few from the 2000's decade.

The 2000's gave us a plethora of iconic characters, both heroes and villains.

Oldboy too.

I think Bateman makes a good point though, about genuinely original films leaving some legacy behind them. From your list, Bourne was just an updated Bond, the Bond movie was. . .just an updated Bond, Pirates was based on a ride and hasn't exactly spawned a sub-genre of pirate movies, Kill Bill was extremely derivative, primarily of Spaghetti westerns, Sin City was a note for note adaptation of the comic, V was also a close adaptation (though where it wasn't, it wasn't an improvement), Star Trek was obviously an updated spin-off, etc. Some of those were very good, but they weren't very original, which is something you saw more of in previous decades. I'm guessing the 2010s will almost exclusively be known for the derivative, comic book and sequel-fueled movies that plague the theaters at every turn.

The thing is though, in the case of the films and directors you're listing, they were influenced by other works but their output wasn't wholly derivative of those works. Spielberg, Lucas and Coppola may have been influenced by Kurosawa, for example - his cinematography, pacing, use of light and colour, etc - but they weren't simply remaking Ran or Kagemusha, rather taking those influences and channeling them into their own creations. If they adapted or borrowed from something pre-existing, they'd put quite clearly their authorial stamp on it and make it their own (Ridley Scott's Blade Runner vs Philip K ****'s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, for example).

there are some pretty good ones, so yeah there have been good movies in this decade.
but i was thinking of movies as jaw dropping as Terminator 2 or Jurassic Park or stuff like that. and most of those are nowhere near as good as that. maybe a couple are. Most of the yes ones are good but not great.

I really do think that Drive will be remembered for years to come. I really loved that movie. Like what PB said, it felt influenced by other movies and styles yet felt original, it had its own voice. I would have absolutely no problem with this whole decade being represented by a film like Drive.

T2, JP, Pulp Fiction, The Matrix and Fight Club are damn good. Just not good enough to overcome The Phantom Menace and Armageddon.

When I think back to 90's movies I'm more likely to think to the high points like the movies you've listed, plus Schindler's List, Goodfellas etc. They're important and deserve better than being forgotten for the bad apples.

Man, that movie is still so fresh and impactful today... one of my favourites.

We need to stop paying for Bay and Sandler and **** and start pouring our money back into better stuff. If audiences were more selective, then problem solved

So apparently there's a leak that

Spoiler

the Joker, Pennywise, Jim Carrey as The Mask, and the Wicked Witch of the West and possibly (although I couldn't find any confirmation for him specifically) Mr.Smith are going to be in this.

It seems like it'll be not so much a Looney Tunes movie as it will be a large scale Warner Brothers ensemble movie.

I'm sold.
