Those movies also weren't riding the Avatar Cameron hype train.
I don't know, if you walked into any of those movies, I don't really feel sorry for you.
Prince of Persia: Pretty wonderbread Jake Gyllenhaal plays an Arabian hero. Based on a video game.
Clash of the Titans: Okay, maybe this might have had a bit of promise. I was dragged to that in a group for a friend's birthday. It was pretty much inexcusable and made as an easy cash-in on the lame ass 3D craze, which in all honesty, while neat to look at, is only a gimmick and not a necessary technological transition for movies like Black and White to Color (though I love my B&W flicks too, and B&W serves a different purpose than color).
Wake me up when they can make us dream movies as either an active or invisible participant, which won't be in our lifetimes, so uh, don't wake me, unless they find out how to cryogenically freeze me, which I wouldn't do anyway because I wouldn't abandon my own life for THE FUTURE.
Robin Hood: Ridley Scott, I don't think he's had much a good track record lately. And it's fucking Robin Hood. Done to death, who cares.
Actually, speaking of the director, I saw Blade Runner for the first time, and couldn't really understand what the hype was about. I can understand what it did for its time, it's a pretty sweet update on the noir genre, but personally, I don't know, it was a little hard to enjoy. Anything short of it blowing away would have been a disappointment, though, I've heard about it for ages. I'm going to watch it again once, maybe twice before returning it, but then I'll probably be finished with it. I think I would enjoy the movie more in theatres, for what it's worth. The cinematography is good.
The Last Airbender: HAHAHAHAHA. If a person goes into this not expecting a laugh riot... well, they probably don't follow movies or were a fan of the television program. Man, I want to see that when I have time to kill.
I saw a clip of it on youtube, and I will say this, M. Night at least has a handy way with a camera. I like the long takes he does.
Sorcerer's Apprentice: I don't think I've seen the trailer for this but the name sounds dumb.
