I did know that. For some reason I have never much liked Jeff Goldblum. He has always struck me as annoying and condescending.
The only movie I ever liked him in was "Fly", and it's probably because he played to his strengths. Being annoying and condescending. :)
But he was great in that. I liked him a little bit in "Independence Day", but I disliked him intently in "Silverado." (a really good Western)
But yeah, a year or so I watched "Death Wish" with my kids, because I like old movies, and I recognized Jeff Goldblum immediately. And of course, I didn't like him. Of course I used to dislike Bruce Dern, but i've gotten to the point where I kind of like the old obnoxious bugger now.
He's still acting!
Maybe Jeff Goldblum will eventually grow on me. :)
It was just well made. Everything worked. The plot made sense, the jokes worked, the action worked, the characters were great. It just clicked.
Not so with everything which followed. The plots stunk, the jokes didn't work, the action scenes looked contrived and fake, they tried to do too much with special effects rather than just making a better movie.
They killed it with the second one, sucked all the fun out of it.
Yup.
