Of all the summer action blockbusters...
 
which should I definately not miss? I don't have much time to see a lot of movies, at the theater. I have considered Matrix 2, but still haven't seen it. Would that be a good choice or is there better out there that shouldn't be missed in a theater enviroment? I'm sure I will see one, hopefully two movies over the summer.

I'd suggest Terminator 3:Rise of the Machines :thumbsup:

Tarantino 07-12-03 04:51 PM

Bad Boys 2!

Revoltor 07-12-03 04:56 PM

T3. It's the cream of the crap.

Jason1973 07-12-03 05:13 PM

Legally blo.... er, I mean Terminator 3.

Goat3001 07-12-03 05:26 PM

I'd say T3 too. Its a good movie to see in theatres. Matrix 2 is good also but I'm pretty sure the DVD will come out before Revolutions so you can still see that on DVD.

so far T3 and X-Men 2. Everything else has been very boring this summer.

Sessa17 07-12-03 06:53 PM

How can people suggest a movie, that they haven't even seen yet?

Without a doubt the ONLY summer blockbuster that you should NOT miss is Pirates Of The Caribean. It's utterly refreshing & has the best performances of any big summer movie so far. And it's the only one with near flawless special effects. T3 is a great action movie, but that is all it is. Nothinig special. Pirates is a truly special movie.

The Italian Job... (just kidding... but not really)... my vote is with Pirates!

matome 07-12-03 10:15 PM

T3 and Pirates

The Cow 07-12-03 10:18 PM

NiCK Crush 07-12-03 10:39 PM

KillaBeez 07-12-03 10:58 PM

See T3.

DGibFen 07-12-03 11:00 PM

Pirates. I'll add T3 if I like it after I see it.

Jay G. 07-12-03 11:46 PM

Go see Pirates of The Caribbean, and stay until after the credits!

mookiemeister 07-13-03 01:06 AM

See X2!

Cornelius1047 07-13-03 01:33 AM

Right now, I'll go with X2 and T3. Not cuz they were great movies, just cuz I like movies with one letter and one number in the title.

Actually, those were the best I've seen this summer, followed closely by Pirates Of The Caribbean, which I'll probably see again in a couple weeks (missed whatever's after the credits).

I also liked The Matrix Reloaded, though it was sort of a letdown.

Avoid LXG and Hulk, at all costs.

Hulk was probably the best flick of the summer in terms of sheer moviedom.

I dunno, see 'em all :D

Bigsierra 07-13-03 02:17 AM

WoW thanks for the great responses.

The other 2 Terminators were so great, I didn't want to be let down by this one. It doesn't sound like I will be.

Pirates sounds like a great option if I make it out to a second, this summer.


Thanks,
Bigsierra

The Bus 07-13-03 10:05 AM

X2, T3, and Charlie's Angels (I'm dead serious).

Skull 07-13-03 11:50 AM

Another vote for T3.

Matthew Chmiel 07-13-03 05:03 PM

1) Matrix Reloaded
2) T3
3) X2
4) Pirates Of The Caribbean
5) The Italian Job

I haven't seen Bad Boys II (maybe for the fact it doesn't open for 5 more days), Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, or LXG yet. And don't even bother with The Hulk.

Here here. T3 had some nicely intentional humorous bits scattered throughout but is a rote by-the-numbers action film lacking in any substantive Cameron-like vision for the most part. Reloaded was technically brilliant but doesn't hold together nearly as well as the original. X2, and I'm sure to be in the minority here, I felt was poorer than the original. Pirates without question was the most fun I've had in respect to the Hollywood Summer Blockbusters.

TCG 07-15-03 08:09 PM

1. Matrix Reloaded
2. Hulk

Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines.
