I agree largely with the AvP2 comment, but for a different reason. The reason the first one turned out as badly as it did can best be explained with Fox giving the green light for Paul Anderson to continue working. When one goes out and hires one of the most inept hacks that has managed to crawl from Hollywood nearest sewer to handle two of Fox's better known franchises, it can safely be assumed the cinematic result will be crap.

The best analogy I've heard to describe this goes: "If you stock a restaurant with nothing but idiotic chefs, the best you can expect is nothing more than idiot soup." The man was given close to a $100 million budget to play around with and all he could come up with was something so bad (terrible inconsistencies with the other films, historical inaccuracies even an uneducated dimwit could point out, and the reuse of the same crappy props found in Alien Resurrection to name a few) that not even the world's worst video game or comic publisher could best it; Uwe Boll could've done much better, and that definitely says something. At least there's a reason to Uwe's madness (German tax loophole that, though closed, is still retroactively applied to the films he had in the pipeline).

As a result, new comers to either franchise won't want to see AvP2 because the first one was ho-hum at best, and fans of either property are reluctant to see it because of how badly Paul f*cked up the first one.

I have to disagree with Alien Vs. Predator 2. It may be a better adaptation than the crap Anderson shat out. From the stills I've seen, it looks promising and dark, plus it's going to be an R rating and when do the audiences not like seeing Alien or Predator on the big screen?

Everything else, I can agree with. I might see Wild Hogs this weekend just because there are going to be four male leads. Ego-fight?

You all gotta be makin me crack up, what could be possibly wrong with The Rush Hours?? The second one is better than the first... Yes they waited sooo long to film this third and it feels kinda wrong but, it depends if u concern more on comedy and action area as me, go on IMDB, people are totally posting on RH-3, alot of people just put it down because people go on with instant guesses or answers these days, like... Chris Tucker hadin't been in a movie since 6 years, shoot, listin to his voice peps... he has merely changed only on weight which is not an issue unless it is too much! Plus.. lol.. he got better at Micheal Jackson moves.. lol, If you actually watched the first two,(and they both have great quality, picture and sound), You would realize you would think a whole lot different, instead you all havent seen them and think it gonna suck cuz there aint been one since 6 years.. he still looks pretty young, don't make judgements on what you haven't seen.

Steve Carrell might be enough to make "Evan Almighty" worth renting.

And as far as "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry" is concerned, I realize that a great cast does not necessarily make for a great movie, but at least this one has (more than) a fighting chance.

I agree with the Alien vs. Predetor 2 infact Sigourney Weaver and James Cameron are currently working a film called "Avatar" in an interview she was asked about an Alien 5 which is an awsome saga and she states there will not be a Alien 5 because the AVP destroyed both monsters!

You are way offbase with your negative comments regarding "Wild Hogs". While it won't be nominated for any awards, it was very enjoyable. We went last Saturday to the Sneak Preview. The theater was SRO with a wide variety of age groups. Everyone laughed in all of the appropriate spots and applauded loudly at the end of the film. All left the auditorium with wide smiles. William H. Macy was a stand out, and I recommend "Wild Hogs" to anyone who wants to have a good time, a lot of laughs, and forget grim reality for a while.

I cannot stand critics. Movie critics,let's see you make a movie. Resturant critics, open you'r own place,art critics, paint your own picture and then see if any of you can do better.Your list of movies you cant wait to see stunk, except Pirates. I cant wait to see Wild Hogs and Rush Hour 3.So i figure if like it it is going to suck and if you dont like it i will.

I can understand with most of those choices. However, I think "Rush Hour 3" deserves a chance - you have to admit that when the first two came out (or at least the first), they were pretty big (maybe not so much now I must admit - but at the TIME they were big).
ALSO, the fact that you put "Hairspray" in your Least Anticipated List is a HUGE question in my book. I'm sure you need to be into those kind of movies (which you are probably not - as you ARE in anticipation of the second Fantastic Four (for some strange reason)), but with an all-star cast of John Travolta, Christopher Walken, Queen Latifah, etc. etc. (plus some "introducings....") - I don't think it will be as bad as you expect. Especially with the current success of "Dreamgirls" - I think the movie musical may be making its comeback into the cinemas.

I can't believe they have "Wild Hogs" on there! I saw it tonight and it was GREAT! I wasn't the only one who thought so, either! The entire theater roared with laughter so often you lost count. I have never heard that much laughter at a movie. William H. Macy was so perfectly cast, as were the others, but especially him. Tim Allen did not disappoint!
The gay police officer scenes were gut-busting!
Loved it!

Any movie that is advertised as much as "Wild Hogs", must be a true stinker.

Andy,

AvP didn't destroy the Alien franchise nearly as much as Resurrection did, but good luck getting Weaver to own up to that crappy gem; she's a hypocrite at best. She was adamant that, after the third movie, she would not do another alien film; Ripley was effectively killed off. When Weaver's career started to bottom out (which, at this point in time, she's a has-been), she signed up to reprise her role as Ripley. The casting was a joke, the script was as bad as AvP's, and the director didn't have the faintest clue on how to shoot the movie. If she wasn't so concerned with getting a paycheck, the Alien franchise wouldn't have been made a laughing stock by that god-awful film. And, to be honest, she really needs to get the notion out of her head that she made the Alien franchise what it was; if anything, the Alien franchise made her and it can continue without her.

We went saw the pre-view of "Wild Hogs"
last Saturday. It was VERY funny and

things happening through out the movie :)

I'm a fan of fun science fiction movies...and I'm not talking about those old 60 movies like "Godzilla vs. Mothra" or whatever it was.

To me, the Predators are bad a** with funky weaponry and I love seeing those weapons being used. The Aliens are totally disgusting, but you have to um...'admire'... their passion to reproduce to keep the species alive. On top of that, they are interesting creatures to watch and have some pretty cool defense mechanisms themselves. Put the two of them on the screen together and you have a pretty fun movie. Now, if you're looking for the movies to be Oscar worthy, I don't think that's a fair way to look at the films; these movies aren't created to be compared to movies like "The Departed" or "Titanic"; they are meant to be fun and under 2 hours and will have you leaving the theatre saying "Oh man, that movie was nucking FUTS!".

Even though the same type of movie with similar plots and different characters has been done a zillion times before, I think it's still cool to see what they can come up with and put on screen... to see the interactions between the characters. Heck, I'd like to come up with something and see it on screen!
