I wasn't bringing up the topic of 300 to start a discussion. I know what it lacked (for me at least). It was merely to point out the fact that opinions vary and anyone that thinks otherwise is a rather oversized moron that should have been put down some time ago.
Seriously, this thread is pretty much pointless because people (at least I would hope) will make their own decision on the matter. Like I said, if they have to follow others like bleeting lambs then that's their loss..

Hollywood from time to time shoots out some great iconic films, yes. We can all agree on this. Other then that... Hollywood can go suck off and die in some mouldy pit of rape(?).
So you're telling us to enjoy every film that Uwe Bowle squirts out? Pearl Harbour wasn't great but I enjoy it because it's a big budget movie. Let me go on please... Ultraviolet was colourful, Underworld had an exciting thrilling storyline that was original, Blade took a good look at vampires, the new Dawn of the Dead was creative with their use of zombies, the Matrix 2 and 3 were great and mind blowing squels to the first, 10,00 BC looks to have great SFX, I can't wait for a Far Cry movie since most video gae to movie adaptions stay true to the original story, I love Hollywood and ever director is great and never make bad films.
Why watch a movie that insults your eyes and wastes your $$$? I hate to admit but Hollywood isn't the greatest thing out. You want real movies? Here's a bunch that's worth the time and money: Pan's Labrinth, Downfall, The Red Violin, Black Book, Requiem For a Dream, etc. These movies don't cost an arm and a leg to make but are the most beautiful things I've seen.
EDIT:
Oh hold on, I want to add these to my list:
Epic Movie, Scary movie, Date Movie, Meet the Spartans were all very funny and worth ever cent they cost.

If the directors of Meet The Spartans and Uwe Bowel come out with their latest and greatest, Produced by Michal Bay no doubt, staring Paris Hilton and Linsey Lohan, count me in for the wild ride. No. We don't have to watch everything that hits our screens. If we stop watching crap movies they will eventually wither away for people to make good ones. Sadly the dummed down generation laps this crap up so it isn't going anywhere.Fireandice said:

Actually, scratch that. I really don't want to know. Sounds too much like a very nasty fetish to me...
On topic, I think thrashing a movie before, during and after watching it is a good laugh, but frankly, so long as it entertains me, I don't give two hoots whether or not it's any good critically speaking.
Whatever, I still say that Far Cry movie will be good.
PLOT- A bunch of mercinaries are attacked by mutants in the woods.
It seem's like Uwe Boll will nail it this time.

In response for your post telling me to **** off, I respond to your thread with this. It is completely possible to say with a STRONG amount of confidence that something, say 10,000BC, will ultimately suck, even before the finished product is out in all of it's glory for us to see and then review. How is this possible, you ask? How can a regular Joe determine the suckitude of a movie before he's seen it? Easy! It's like a 'Science-MadLib' Just fill in the blanks and do the math. Story+Director+Cast+Trailers=TOTAL, then take your TOTAL and add or subtract points for quality affiliation to said film(i.e.-Visuals done by ILM, gets a PLUS! Music by Danny Elfman, that's a minus!) That will give you a pretty sure idea of what your getting into. SO. If I told you that there is a new movie coming out, being portrayed as a blockbuster, set in 10,000BC about some caveman who is leading his fellow cavemen to defeat some bad Egyptian-esque guys who stole his girl and enslaved his buddies, and told you it was being helmed by the guy who directed 'The Day after Tomorrow' and Independence Day(ID4). Then told you that cast is a bunch of relative unknowns, who in the trailers are messin' with mammoths, and getting pounced on by sabretooth tiger's(that look a lot like they were digitally rendered by the same house that gave us the 'rock-dogs' from the Chronicles of Riddick). Oh yeah, there are also Reptila-Ostriches! In this day and age when movies of this ilk hit they generally do all right in the numbers, but not because the movie is any good but because the hype machine has us regular folks all whipped up into a frothy mass of drooling idiots, who will pay $10 to see a movie we will leave hating ourselves a little bit for wasting our time! Don't get me wrong. I love movies, even BAD ones. I am one of the drooling masses, give me a great trailer and I'm there. But, I also call it like I see it, and just like most adults, we can smell BS a mile away, can tell you that there is BS close and we can do that without stepping into it.
I can't believe that just because most here don't like big dumb Hollywood action movies you would dispair at movies in general. Seriously this Oscar Season has been amazing. No Country..., There will be Blood, Juno. Broaden your horizons a bit. Watch more foreign movies. I don't dispair that big dumb movies do well, I do dispair when people behave as if that is all there is or even just that that is all Hollywood makes. The movies I mention are all Hollywood movies.
Glad to see you're backing down. Although we never told you not to see the movie, and we didn't spoil it either. Although, fun fact about 10,000 BC, Snape kills Dumbledore.JOE COOL said:
