I did enjoy Spiderman I. I think I liked both X-Men films. Hulk sucked. Spiderman I had everything S2 does not.

But I am somewhat like Mr. Cranky, and like little of what I see.

The real problem is there is nothing else to go see at the movies. I, Robot looks like it will be good, but it's not out yet.

My recommendation would be this, if you go, do not expect it to be better. Then either I will be wrong, and you will be pleasantly surprised, or you will agree, but possibly can see redeeming value in it. (The villian is good...It just takes to long to make him one.)

Also, save money and go early in the day when it's cheaper.

I'm looking forward to Catwoman and King Arthur. National Treasure looked like an interesting plot, but Nick Cage kinda wears on me. The only flick I liked him in was The Rock.

"I, Robot" looks horrible, imo. Yet another over the top Will Smith vehicle with his signature one-liners. I could be wrong, but that's the vibe I get from the trailers I see.

I liked "The Hulk", but I can't disagree with any of the criticisms I read about the flick. It wasn't what the audience wanted to see.

Spidey 2 did everything a sequel should, and thankfully, they didn't dumb it down as sequels inevitably do. They put faith in the dialogue, which subsequently made you feel more invested in the characters, and therefore appreciated the payoff of the action scenes even more. Plus they lifted most of the storyline straight out of the comic book, which is something us comic geeks have often complained that the movie industry don't take advantage of.

I thought Van Helsing was a big BORE.
