So why’s his CG character in ‘Planet 51′ a white guy with blue eyes and sandy brown hair?

I find that really stupid, but not as stupid as the movie (children’s flick, I know). My nieces liked it though, but as an adult (physically, at least) I thought it was really tedious, dull and paint-by-numbers.

Goodnight.

This movie was awesome. It did impotent rage even better than King Kong did.

I think it was just great.

Not fork the kids though, it’s downright scary at parts!

I expected a horrible movie and was pleasantly surprised that it was better than that. They put way too much emphasis on Spike and not enough on giant robots beating each other up, but it was actually better than I’d anticipated.

Based on all the hype for District 9 I was expecting better than what we get.

This movie was about as interesting as an episode of Star Trek. Everything is solved by really smart people at the end, and the bad guys are ignorant jerks whose close-minded hatred do them in or whatever.

I was really disappointed.

That, and the popcorn cost me about 2x what the ticket price was just made me cranky.

I liked this movie. The romance was played up too much in my mind, it didn’t really work for me, but the movie overall was pretty good. Ron looks like a brooding steroid head in it.

Good flick.

Sucked.

For one thing, Star Trek villains always stink. This guy’s motivation was stupid. Leonard Nimoy was in it, can’t figure out why.

Simon Pegg was awesome, but the rest of the movie sucked liked everything else Star Trek.

Ooooh, I can’t wait for the G.I. Joe movie to come out later this summer, that’s just going to be awesome, I bet.

Greg’s Rating: 0/5

This movie stunk. I thought it was going to be bad but it was even worse than I thought. I read the comic and thought it was pretty bad but the movie made it worse. The characters were okay, and the first few minutes of the movie were pretty promising but the story went straight to the moon (in a bad way) 1/3 of the way through.

The very beginning was pretty cool though (like, during the credits sequence, downhill steadily after that).

Oh well, on the plus side, movies in Belleville are only $4.20 on Tuesdays, so I think I’ll be watching more!

Isaac Asimov wrote his Three Laws of Robotics (below*) in order to protect humanity from rampant robots.

I hereby present to you the Six Laws of Robots In Movies which shall serve to protect humanity from robot movies that suck like Transformers did.

1. A robot movie shall only include enough humans as are necessary for the story’s narrative.

2. Humans shall only be seen: 1) getting hurled out of buildings, 2) running in fear, 3) jumping out of moving or high objects in terror.

3. Robots must injure human beings, aliens and other peaceable creatures

4. Evil robots must not obey any sort of code of ethics with any semblence to rationality

5. Good robots must have a code of honour that does not render them sappy, easily taken advantage of, or prone to ignore the mission objectives to save another’s (robotic, human or other) life

6. Evil robots must have a ‘Blast first, think later’ philosophy

*Asimov’s laws are (thanks, Wikipedia!):

1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

The most intimidating person they could find was Lana Lang?

Maybe they couldn’t find a skinny enough Asian woman to be Chun-Li – who isn’t even particularly skinny to begin with.

This movie’s going to be so terrible

Edit, here’s a trailer:

Erin just posted her Top 30 list of favourite movies.

I thought I’d throw in my Top 10 (not complete as I didn’t give it too much thought) but also my Bottom List of some of the worst movies I’ve ever seen…or at least the most disappointing.

- Robin Hood: Men In Tights
- Step Brothers
- Constantine
- The Matrix 2 & 3
- Star Wars 1,2 and 3 (and 6) and The Clone Wars
- Dr. No
- Quantum of Solace
- Superman III and the subsequent movies
- Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
- The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe
- Hitman
- Transporter 3
- The Chase
- Queen of the Damned
- Lord of the Rings 2 & 3 (I know, I know, well they’re very professionally made, and expertly crafted but the stories stunk, it’s like, “Frodo, let’s go off to the Forest of Irigirigarden and fight the evil Malakor in order to ensure that the giant Bluenosed Squirrels don’t go foraging while we’re walking through the Bog of Shallowmoor”)
- The One

Edit: Danny just reminded me to add Spielberg’s horrid ‘A.I.’ to the list.
