BEST SUMMER OF MOVIES IN LONG, LONG TIME!!

this has been an incredible summer for action flicks: SWAT, BAD BOYS II(awesome chase & shootout scenes),MATRIX RELOADED, TERMINATOR 3 (took special fx to a whole new level)!!even tho i'm not a disney guy,even pirates of the caribbean had awesome fx as well!!

SPECIAL FX FLIX HAVE RULED THE SCREENS THIS SUMMER!!

if anyone can think of a better summer for action/special effects movies i dont know what it would be!!(not horror,but action/fx)

I know. There is so much of them out this summer, I haven't have the time too see all of them. Just have to wait till they come out in DVDs.

FX doesnt make a movie though

T3 was very disappointing

action scene was good though

Actually he said it in the first post. I thought the summer moview were pretty weak. The Matrix really can't be counted as summer-- it came out in May. Terminator 3 was good, Pirates was good, SWAT was weak, along with everything else I saw. I didn't think it was too great of a summer in terms of movies.

Is it just me, or have standards in movie quality lowered ever since the no-admittance to Rated-R rule came out? Now that theater staff members are checking at the doors, some movies shoot for a PG-13 rating just to draw a larger crowd to sell tickets to.

Anyone agree on this?

of course, i'm not a teen, but i dont think theyre checking teens for IDs in AZ for R movies, i went with a 16er to T3 & they said nothing to him! maybe different in cali since movie industry is based there & they probably have people there checking, just like trying to by alcohol underage is done most places!!

Lakernation, it's a lot different in Cali, especially LA. Many places are pretty uptight about it. It's not a matter if you're a teen or not, the fact is that they lowered movie standards (fewer R-rated movies = fewer realistic movies) to attract more teenagers. By the way, if you're over a certain age, you can accompany a 16-year old to an R-rated movie without being subject to questioning.

Roscoe,
You're going to LOVE IT!!!

I'll wait thill they come out on DVD

this summer was very very good.......reaching from late spring to summer....

it all started with x-men 2, then matrix, then everything, a good movie came out every friday. not to mention, T3, american wedding, pirates of hte carribean and so on. underworld is coming out, and i cant wait to see that. i love these kinds of movies, i am a multimedia major and will eventually learn these things, but i love them. here here.

I've been to the movies 18 times this year, rented a lot and the only one's that stick out are: Head of State, Freddy VS Jason, Terminator 3, Bad Boys 2. And Cradle 2 The Grave made the grade. All the rest were crap!!!! Matrix Reloaded was like Matrix Recrapped, S.W.A.T should be swept under the carpet, after watching Daredevil I wish I was blind during the movie. Those are my personal picks, i'm not saying Pirates of the Caribben sucked but to me I'd a rather gave the ticket money to a hobo to get his daily fix of beer. But these are what I like, you all like your movies but these are my picks. I'm not critic and I don't take critics opinions seriously myself. THERE IDIOTS!!!!!!!! :man7:
