Don't give them a challenge!

The ending was a huge turd though.

I don't know how good it is, but I wouldn't necessarily say that. It was written by the same guy as Tarzan back in the... 30's-60's? Somewhere in that range. And it has somehow never been a movie before this.

I haven't played through number three yet. I actually need to be able to spend some time studying. Number 2 kicked ass though. I really liked Mordin, the Salarian. Interesting past and how he dealt with it. I LOL'd at his musical number too.
last 2 movies i've seen in the theater:
The Green Hornet - i love it so much i bought the dvd(for $3 used on ebay)
Kill the Irishman - aside of a couple crappy special effects because it was a small time lower budget film, the story is awesome, kinda sorta close to historically accurate, and anything with Christopher Walken and fat Val Kilmer can't be bad.

Written in 1912 by Edgar Rice Burroughs, and is actually pretty true to the story. It looks derivative of so many other movies/stories because so much in SF is derivative of IT. And personally, I like it.
Whatever you do don't go see Project X! It was horrible and I am pretty sure it is the best thing in theatres right now.

Nah, 21 Jump Street has got to be better.

They could have used any other name but they had to take a childhood TV show and just ruin it.

Oh yeah forgot about that one. I was kinda overblowing it though. It was just we were looking for a movie and having trouble finding one because we couldn't make the time for 21 Jump Street.
All the great movies and tv shows were made in the 80's. Micheal Bey realizes that the only way to improve on them is with more, bigger explosions and more cleavage. He is just giving the people what they want.
Lets not forget we have another GI Joe movie coming out this summer. However this time we have Bruce Willis as "Joe" and he will be at some point shooting from the back of an El Camino

That was a sad movie.

No imagine a bad version of the Hangover meets Blair Witch Project style filming.
Go see "Act of Valor". Plot: Terrible. Acting: Terrible (what do you expect, they are SEAL's, not actors). Live Fire Action Sequences (featuring Miniguns): Awesome. Watching how true professionals handle a firefight makes all the Bruce Willis crap look like the garbage it is.

friend of mine just finished mass effect 3.. she HATED the ending
I would like to think that if I was black, I wouldn't support movies that support, perpetuate, or encourage stereotypes about black culture. This is why I don't watch the F&F movies.
You just love Soul Plane, right?

I'd have to say that's pretty accurate. Although, I'd rate the plot as mediocre rather than terrible. I hope the action sequences in it influence more mainstream action sequences.
