Knowing when a kill will take place, margin of error ~30 seconds... that's kinda predictable.Jolly Joker wrote:If you had only watched 2 or 3 movies, how can something be PREDICTABLE then? Apart from the fact that when you take your seat in front of your TV you know what you are watching - there will be victims, and probably they all are going to die except one or two. Of course THAT is predictable. And of course it's predictable that people ARE dying WHEN they are dying - that's part of the thrill. They HAVE to do something (can't just go back sleeping, can they?) and they SHOULD do something as long as it is small. Not to mention Ash and the interest of the Corp to get their hands on the specimen. I mean, if you watch a vampire movie there will be some blood-sucking, right?
So what do you MEAN with "predictable"?
I can say whatever I want. You say that it is NOT crappy, that is a claim. Or if everyone says that God exists, I can say that he doesn't (just an example). I can make claims as well. In fact A LOT of people would make this same claim, if people like you wouldn't bully them to "shut up" and "don't be honest, just say it's good!". because, you know, they'll be considered 'weirdos', even though if they had the honesty they would probably be around 30% or more on SOME movies (not Alien, which was a good classic, but NOT as good as the hype is about).Jolly Joker wrote:Look to Kalah's post.

In other words, it's Action movie, while the original is a Thriller movie. So yeah genresJolly Joker wrote:No, it hasn't got anything to do with genres. T2 is a popcorn-eater; Terminator is a nail-biter, it's as simple as that. T2 has a couple of really "cool" scenes - it's Arnie entertaining mom, dad and the whole family, fathering and protecting mom and child - actually every 12-year-old would like something like a Terminator-doggie: imagine what the classmates would say! It's a 100 million dollar family action spectacle where part of that 100 million bucks would leave you watching with eyes and mouth wide open, losing popcorn (20 years ago, of course; now it's not that spectacular anymore). It's Hollywood - at its best, of course, but it's done with softener. It IS probably the best sequel for a brillant original movie, but that's because of the "trick" to switch sides. Note that the T-800 is something like #48 or so in the list of best heroes of all times, but like #22 or so in the villain list! (the only one ranking in both).
I never said you don't like comedies, why would I speak for you anyway? I said I am not too fond of comedies myself; analogous to the fact that you may not like other genres (hypothetically speaking). For example, people who like action will enjoy T2 better than T1. Doesn't mean YOU will. You may enjoy some comedies but I rarely like them, if they're not extremely good (I have a very hard to satisfy need here...Jolly Joker wrote:and you are wrong, I do like a good comedy. MASH, for example, is a great movie. Some of the old screwball comedies are cool, most Monty Pythons are hilarious, I even found dumb and dumber pretty amusing. Or even The Mask. A comedy wants you to laugh; there's nothing wrong with a good laugh.
).How about knowing exactly when a killing takes place, give or take 15 seconds?ThunderTitan wrote:Wow, you figured out the alien was gonna start killing them off one by one?! Your IQ must be at least 2 digits...
If you think that the kills as such are important in that movie and the knowledge that someone will be killed within the next minute makes the movie predictable you simply didn't understand what the movie is all about. That's of course a possibility, and come to think of it, it looks even probable.Borsuc wrote:Knowing when a kill will take place, margin of error ~30 seconds... that's kinda predictable.

Will they? So what IS action then? Blasting money?Jolly Joker wrote: For example, people who like action will enjoy T2 better than T1.
Ok let me rephrase that.Jolly Joker wrote:If you think that the kills as such are important in that movie and the knowledge that someone will be killed within the next minute makes the movie predictable you simply didn't understand what the movie is all about. That's of course a possibility, and come to think of it, it looks even probable.
When did I say it's more than that? Of course, let's say, for people who like silence instead of music, I would still say the soundtrack sucks, but it doesn't mean for those people it sucks if they like silence.Jolly Joker wrote:Look, a lot of people HAVE BEEN entertained by that movie, so what you say is simply not in line with the facts. So while you say what you want - and so that - and while you can even say as much bull as you want - and do that-, you don't exactly convey the impression that what you are saying is based on everything else than a very personal view.
Just like we have no reason of saying Uwe Boll sucks?Jolly Joker wrote:Which means that YOU don't like it. But it just doesn't suck just because you say it does. You have no reasons either. It sucks. Soundtrack sucks. Predictable. Not entertaining. Sheesh.
I just summed up what you said in what I consider the two distinct genres. What's so "serious problem" about it?Jolly Joker wrote:This seems to indicate that you have a serious problem with reading other people's posts.
No, it's action. The thrill of action or "lol man this guy is gonna take them all" or "coolness" factor depending on how awesome it looks (such as Gangsta Style and Rule Of Cool). May include badasses as that's what action-people want to see, may include a One Man Army scene because that usually involves some badass to wipe the floor with enemies (Terminator 2 minigun scene). Or plainly just long or frequent action-scenes and fights instead of drama. Granted T2 had a lot of drama as well, but was more focused comparatively (ratio) on action than T1.Jolly Joker wrote:Will they? So what IS action then? Blasting money?
Oh my, I thought it was horrible. An awful, awful piece of junk. I enjoyed the first two Scary movies, and parts of the other two, but their later "works" such as this, or Meet the Spartans, just goes beyond idiotic. It's just random scenes without any thought behind them. Though I did quite like the Amy Winehouse spoof.winterfate wrote:Any of you seen Disaster Movie yet?
It's the 850439850th parody movie with the same general idea, but it's decent. Then again, I'm easy to please when it comes to comedies...
Is that after Underworld: Evolution or am I on a different track? I didn't even know there was another one.winterfate wrote:I also saw Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, about two weeks ago or so. Epic! That's all that can be said. It's equal parts love story/beatdown/story filler.
