ummmmm..STOP IT already...

I never get tired of good movies and as with every genre you get the good alongside the bad.

I could do without X3 or Spiderman 3 but for everz of those movies we get an Iron Man or X2. However i've noticed that Marvel is beginning to slip in quality.. Wolverine was a weak movie, Punisher was just gory and not much else and the less said about X3 the better. There was a time when Marvel movies were solid gold :(

I'll watch any genre (except horror movies.. don't like those in general) if the story is good or if it has otherwise good qualities. It is why i simply like Armageddon.. i know that the story is shit but the humor is great and it's epic enough. The same applies to Transformers and i hope Transformers 2 entertains me as much.
 
However, I fail to see the need to stop any genre of mo...

WAIT. I got one.

The whole:
"action movie" "teen movie" "not another teen movie" "epic movie" "dance flick", that entire genre of spoofing a genre films needs to STOP. They are horrendous.

*shudders*
 
What movie genre do you think they need to give a rest to? Fantasy movies (LOTR/POTTER/NARNIA)..HERO movies (BATMAN-IRONMAN-HULK) scifi space movies (TREK--STAR WARS) or fantastic action flicks based on toys (TRANSFORMERS..GI JOE)


Or..are you okay with whats going on???

I'm not trying to sound rude here but no one cares about who hates these genres or if people think they are overdone, they care about the money.
 
How about movies where girls in leather trenchcoats fire two guns at zombies or vampires or whatever.
Hurm...Ya those should stop. Unless they give it a freash & differant take on that franchise. Maybe revell the woman as a DUDE at the end of the movie ala the crying game!:guffaw:
 
Movies with the word "Movie" actually in the title. Of course, that's just because about 90% of them come from the same hack duo.
 
Well if I had a choice it'd be STOP WITH THE CRAPPY RE-IMAGINING OF OLD 60's TV SHOWS THAT JUST BARELY RESEMBLE THE ORIGINALS!

Oh, and I'm sick to death of Harry Potter too!

(Note: Not that I actually hate the series, but I shared a house the past three years with a guy whos live-in girlfriend was in her 40'sand the biggest Potter geek ever. Swear to God, if I'd had to listen to one more bad HP filk I would've pulled my own head off.)

I'm mostly okay with it. I think in general the movies you've listed have been pretty good with a few exceptions.
 
I don't know if there's a genre that needs to take a rest(although the proliferation of cop shows on TV, as well as the ludicrous number of 'reality' shows, is really burning me out.)
I do think that Hollywood should take a look at all of the original works out there and stop re-hashing Baby Boomer TV shows into movies. There are plenty of talented writers presenting scripts worth considering, why go back to a well that never offered much anyway? Otherwise, how long until a 're-imagined' Gilligan's Island hits the big screen?:shifty:
 
There's three Harry Potter movies left. Half-Blood Prince. Deathly Hallows Part One. Deathly Hallows Part Two.
