Hahaha, people catching on to my love for Pixar films...

I don't just enjoy all the Pixar films like most people do, I'm actually a really big fan of the company itself too and a lot of the things they do and have done. In a way they have inspired me ever since I was little too with my interests in doing art and hopefully animation later in life... Yeah, I'm a different kind of fan. lol

[QUOTE="sammyjenkis898"] I'll be seeing it as well, even though I don't enjoy PIxar films like most do. It's definitely the must see film of this month. :)sammyjenkis898

Honestly I have not seen much. I believe I've seen a few. I am well aware Pixar has taken a lot of inspiration over his films, though. I think I should see more of their films, though, because I know Miyazaki makes wonderful films too that is very close to the style of storytelling that Pixar does as well.

[QUOTE="sammyjenkis898"] What does it matter? Terminator and Terminator 2 would be rated PG-13 by today's standards.. sammyjenkis898

:lol: No it wouldn't. You'd never be allowed that amount of blood and violence in a PG13 movie. Neither the swearing.

They threw around the f-bomb all the time in T2...I don't think they allow that in PG13 movies.

I might agree with you on T1 though, assuming they took out the nudity.

Omg it has been so long since I've seen that one... I remember it was amazing, though. I really need to brush up on Miyazaki films now.

how could it be any worse than T3?...:?

There's only one Terminator ending I accept and goes by the name of Terminator 2.

Yeah, I have. I loved that documentary.

As for sammyjenkis898... Why does it seem that every time you and I get caught up in a movie related thread we always seem to talk about different movies? :P

james cameron is the only one that should be directing these movies. not some hack who did charlies angels. should have stopped after 2

I dont care what RT says I'm gonna see this movie and like it.

The trailer looked awesome, though the clips on the Internet not so much, really the script just sucks.

I don't expected it to be this bad.

I expected it. It's very hard to pull off an origin movie, plus, there was something about this movie that just had critics itching to hate it. I'm still going to watch it.JustPlainLucas

Funny, as origin movies are usually the best out of a series (Spiderman, Batman Begins.) These reviews don't surprise me in the least, but considering how great the reviews were for Star Trek, this film must be a true abomination. What is with Sci-fi movies nowadays? Are they ever going to again measure up to the early Alien films, Blade Runner, the original two Terminators? Can these new generation of directors even make a HALF DECENT movie? Christ.

Well, it obviously wasn't her cup of tea. It really is remarkable to watch.

[QUOTE="Bumzur"][QUOTE="AtomicBaconBits"]Reviews are just other people's opinions.Not everyone will have the same view.Go see it and judge it for yourself.AtomicBaconBits

Thank you, I totally agree. Heck Silent Hill, and Running Scared got mostly awful reviews but I liked both of those films. Reviews mean nothing.

[QUOTE="ChrisSpartan117"]

[QUOTE="sammyjenkis898"] You can definitely see the influence from Miyazaki films when you watch a Pixar film. You should definitely check out Spirited Away. It's so creative.

I saw the trailer and it looks awesome. I can't wait to see it. And the robot is voiced by Kevin Spacey! :D

I generally hate all anime myself. But I think Miyazaki is a bit different than the typical anime and is more relatable than most.

Do you think Cowbow Bebop will work? She loved the theme song to it.

That is disappointing, I might still go see it though

[QUOTE="Nerd_Man"]

[QUOTE="ChrisSpartan117"]I saw that with my mom, and even though it was the(to date) greatest anime film I've seen, she hated it to high heaven, in fact, she hates all of anime, maybe it's due to the fact that the only anime she's seen have been DBZ and the dub of Yu-Gi-Oh...

First off, I don't know what Cownboy Bebop is. Secondly, as I said before: I don't like anime, so I don't know what good I could do with helping her. What's not her cup of tea, neither is mine... Some people just have different tastes, accept that.

Many of you will be surprised to know that Terminator Salvation currently holds a 24% on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. This, to me and to many others, is very, very disappointing. I had expected this to be very well received from critics (and I'm sure many of you have as well) due to the awesome trailers and intriguing plot, plus Christian Bale's lead role. I am still going to see this movie, but I really hadn't expected this.

Feel free to share your thoughts on the subject.

Rotten Tomatoes simply compiles all the reviews on the net and bases the percentage on that. They did not give it a 24%, that's the general consensus from various site reviews combined.

I dont need any critics telling me wether its good or bad, I'll make up my own mind when i go see it :)
