Knuckledragger Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 Star Wars: Almost right, Jedi should be a bit lower. Indiana Jones: Temple of Doom should be lower, Last Crusade should be higher. Matrix: All of them should be lower. Star Trek: 1,3 lower; 2 higher! Superman: Don't care. Jurassic Park: Ditto. X-Men: See above. Spiderman: One should be a lot higher, Three wasn't that bad. LotR: All three should be shorter (get it?) Mad Max: No opinion. Jaws: One should be lower, never saw 2 or 3. BttF: One should be lower, it wasn't that good. Die Hard: ALL should be lower, srsly WTF. Blade: Never saw any of them. PotA: Memory is unclear. Godfather: All should be a tick lower. Rocky: Meh. Don't care. Terminator: WTF? One should be much higher, two should be lower. Didn't see 3. Rambo: All should be a bit lower, but stay proportional. Batman: That's the old series? One should be higher. Alien: Two should be higher.
Beefy Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 Indiana Jones: Temple of Doom should be lower, Last Crusade should be higher. ToD was my favourite. One and three were very much deus ex machina at the end of the movies..... Indi is in trouble? Wisecrack! The Nazi's won? Oooops, God will sort them out.
archosman Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 Yeah man, it's really crazy man! It's called a video cassette man, and you're gonna really dig it man. This chick Linda Lovelace does this crazy ass thing man, it's really wild man. Just don't let Pat find this man, or I'm not gettin' invited back here, dig it man? Actually that's pretty close to the truth. Ole Sammy had quite the extensive porn collection according to Linda Susan Boreman's Out Of Bondage.
Duggeh Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 Temple of Doom is worse than the Matrix sequels. By far the weakest of the 4, nuclear bomb-proof fridges included.
Chekhonte Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 I agree with everything but I think Alien was better than Aliens and I think after the first lord of the rings each sequel was a small step down from the one before it.
Sherwood Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 Godfather 3 was certainly not the best godfather, but worse than the third Matrix? It was nominated for Best Picture, for goodness' sake.
grawk Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 I'll just say I disagree with most of that chart. I agree with the rating for the first matrix, the empire strikes back, and the godfather series.

catscratch Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 Star Wars: 3d should be a bit lower. Indiana Jones: Temple should be lower, Crusade should be higher. Temple wasn't even remotely as bad as the 4th abomination of a movie, however. Matrix: spot-on. 1st was great, idiotic premise and all, 2d sucked, 3d was unwatchable. Star Trek: 1 and 3 were cheesy and horrible and should be a lot lower. 2 was very good though. LoTR: Peter Jackson is a talentless hack using every cliche in the book to make himself look good. Soulless, empty, endlessly disappointing movies. I'm so glad he's not making The Hobbit. I would love to see Alfonso Cuaron do it, but Del Toro should be pretty good too. Alien: Alien 1 was better than Aliens. For that matter, Pitch Black was better than Aliens. However, Aliens is still very good IMO. Alien 3 was underrated, but not on the same level. Die Hard: 2 should be a lot lower and called Die Heartbeat, like Jeremy Clarkson suggested. Jaws: About right, original a timeless classic, sequels pointless hacks. X-Men: about right too. Jurassic Park: 1 should be higher, 2 and 3 lower. Back to the Future: Sequels were kinda meh. Nothing special. I loved the original though. Godfather: spot-on. Don't much care for anything else on there. Speaking of sequels/series, I actually am a pretty big fan of the Harry Potter movies. Or rather, the first 3 movies. Mike Newell is a very good director but is a very bad fit stylistically for the series, so 4 was a near miss for me. As for the 5th movie... *retch* sure it's not a good book to source it on, but hey, Columbus managed to pull out movie #2, and that book was even worse. #5 was completely empty, grey, soulless, talentless, just a total waste of time and money (though final showdown scene was more-or-less OK). Cuaron's film though was a masterpiece, and the first 2, while not quite up there, were also great.
Knuckledragger Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 In 1963 Bill Clinton was elected as one of two delegates to represent Arkansas at the American Legion Boys Nation. While in Washington, D.C., the 17-year-old Clinton met President John F. Kennedy, whom he admired greatly. Nearly 30 years later Clinton followed in Kennedy
