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 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.

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.

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

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

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.
