for me personally the second one had the potential to be better than the first because it had some awesome scenes, but I know I personally couldn't tell what the heck was going on during most action scenes because of the shoddy camera work shaking around so much.
has anyone here read any of the books?

The more I think about it, the more I think Bourne Ultimatum was the best of the three. And also, Matt Damon movies are starting to become must-sees. He's had quite a run now with The Departed, The Good Shepherd, now Bourne Ultimatum.

The Bourne series has turned out to be a quality triology which is pretty rare these days.

Why isn't Superbad on here? Judd Apatoff? Creator of great movies like the 40 year old Virgin and Knocked Up?

You know Superbad is gonna rake it in.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

Yeah bourne was fantastic. I loved every minute of it. I'm going to be seeing the midnight show for rush hour 3 tonight


Back in the day, The Rush HOurs ruled. The last one came out when i was just a kid. I've been waiting and waiting and waiting for this one. I am so happy it is here. Rush hour 2 picked up where rush hour left off. I hope that Rush hour three can do the same. May very well be my favorite action comedy movie series ever. Only Bad Boys compare. Bad Boys III?

my buddy told me it was one of the best movies he's ever seen. I think that might be a bit of an overstatement, but I'm still very excited to see it.

I read the first one a couple of years ago and I HATED IT!!!
For me, it was like the complete opposite of the movies: it was boring; it seemed pointless; and, again, it was boring. Aside from the basic premise and some of the characters' names it was very different than the movie, which is sometimes okay, but not in this case.

going to see that after work Sunday, but my buddies and I wanna see Stardust first which will be after work tomorrow night.
also, Flash Gordon brought back a lot of memories from my childhood and is highly recommended to anyone else who was a fan of movie back in the day.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

f...ing rush hour 3. Now i am not going to say it was bad (b/c i love the rush hours) but the story line SUCKED. I mean, it may have been the worst story line i've ever seen in a movie that in the end i sorta liked. Honestly, more i think of it, that was a horrible story line that made NO sense.

Its funny in the rush hour funny way. Chris Tucker screaming shit in his high pitched voice is always funny. God damn, that story line sucked. That is all i can think of. I don't even know what just happened...??

I read a review and the writer said that he can remember laughing but he can't remember the things he laughed at. I agree. Nothing was really really worth remembering. I felt like things were being thrown at me from every direction. The movie went to fast. The plot shifted quickly. Stuff didn't make any sense. You sit there and say, that isn't possible and why isn't there this or that. Its not that i think the movie has to be realistic but don't take me out of the movie to turn to a friend and say that is dumb. The story just rolled on its bumpy road to the end and it ended and made no sense at all.

I do remember a joke in the beginning of the movie. It was kind of out there too much. It was offensive to many people in the theater. It actually got booos. I mean, i think most things are funny, offensive or not but the way it was done just rubbed most people the wrong way. I did laugh though because it was so over the top. Whatever, you will notice it when you watch the movie.


I say go watch it but the story line is not nearly as good as the other two. The end does not resolve ANYTHING. Its funny and worth seeing because it is a Rush HOur movie.
