It's completely irrational, I know. It's a really good film, It just doesn't seem like something I'd want to watch again...
Does that make any sense?

I really need to see The Lookout... Joseph Gordon-Levitt is seriously starting to grow on me (I thought that he was brilliant in Brick)... I'll have to update my Netflix queue.

I just realized today that
2007 - BAD YEAR FOR BLOCKBUSTERS
All making my WORST MOVIES OF 2007 LIST:
Pirates of the Caribbean
Honestly, I thought that the first movie was
boring and had WAY too much Orlando Bloom and WAY too little Johnny Depp... The SECOND movie, however, I thought was a lot of fun... The CGI was fantastic and Johnny Depp seriously outdid himself... So when the abysmal third movie came out, I was SO incredibly disappointed... The story was needlessly complicated (who was double-crossing WHOM?! Answer: WHO CARES)... And Chow Yun-Fat was INCREDIBLY underused. Sadly.
Spiderman 3
Not enough Venom. Not enough Bruce. ALL MALE LEADS WERE CRYING IN THE LAST 30 MINUTES. And Peter Parker's a pussy.
...
Bad writing. Terrible acting, and lame Big Bads. What a disappointment.
Beowulf
Bad writing. Weird CGI people. Not even a "fun movie." Waste of a perfectly good 3D experience.
Transformers
It's been brought up once... I've seconded, but I think it should be mentioned again, how AWFUL this film was... With a premise as simple as GIANT ROBOTS ATTACKING EACH OTHER, I find it hard to believe that the Big Bad wasn't introduced until the last 10 minutes... Sure, the special effects were great, but the writing was really terrible. It should NOT have been a coming of age story. I wanted to see robots battle. But I was disappointed.
