Good movies?

How does it cross the line? Its more of a family movie than a kids movie. I enjoyed the first one, the second one was 'eh'...I was just wondering if anyone had seen the 3rd. Just curious because Martin Short is in it.

It crosses the line for me

I liked the first one, couldn't watch the entire second movie, and if the movies continue on this trend, chances are I won't like the third either. It'll entertain kids regardless, but that's just me.

well i got the chance to watch Cars last nite and i about died! it was SO funny!!!

go see it!! Larry the Cable guy did such a good job as maters voice lol

We saw one on Sunday, Flushed Away... if you love Wallace and Gromitt, you will really love this one, it is done by the same guy. And it is not just a flick for the kids. I laughed so hard at points I got a headache, it was so funny!!!

I agree. Seems like sequels get worse as the movies go on. Are there any movies out there where the sequels are just as good as the first one? Hmm, come to think of it, I enjoyed Toy Story 2. Ugh, I swear, I don't watch kid movies ALL the time. I watched Braveheart last night.

I swear to you, the first thing that popped into my head after I read that sentence was toy story 2!

and it's the only movie that I can think of where the sequel was better than the first.

Sequels? Hmmm... Lord of the Rings kept getting better and better. Star Wars ep 5 & 6 continued to improve the series the first time they came out, though the improved versions here of recent years did improve the earlier ones as well. Wrath of Khan was better than ST:TMP, and Search for Spock improved it a bit more, though after that, things got to be somewhat hit and miss (this is in part the ST movie odd/even rule). The Matrix trilogy, Underworld and Evolution are also continued improvements. And there have been a number of others as well which have improved sequel after sequel.

A certain number have been mixed, just like ST, and others have been worse than disappointing. As for Rocky, the Friday the 13th/freddy movies, Jaws, and such... Forgedaboutdem!

Of course, this is all IMO.

A few sequels that come to mind, and some are "prequels". The Indiana Jones trillogy, Terminator 2 was good as 1, but I havnt seen 3. Short Circuit 1 and 2 were both good, if ya liked them to begin with.
I can safely say that just about NONE of any of the sequils made from Disney are any good. Most of them are Right To Video because of it. Alladin was hit and miss with thoes 3. Lion King 1 1/2 was cute, the Timone and Pumba story.

Was Pirates of the Carrobean 2 any good? It looked so, but I havnt talked to anyone who has seen it. If it's good, I will get it when it comes out next month. Then it would be a first for Disney to make a sequel that was any good to begin with.

WATCH "ACCEPTED"

Also a good movie "The Groomsmen"

Yes and no. It had a lot more fictional characters like all the slimy green men which kinda cheapened the storyline. It was good, but in my opinion, not as classy as the first.

I loved those movies....haven't seen either in forever...

I think I saw short circuit once on the TV graveyard... oops i mean UPN.

Hired and watched POTC: Dead Man's Chest last night. Thought it was pretty good, but not as good as the original. Was not all too pleased with the open-ended ending, but atleast i know there is a sequel coming (At World's End) to tie things up.

I completely forgot that I wanted to see the new christopher guest movie, For Your Consideration. His movies are awesome! Waiting For Guffman, so good.

POTC:dead mans chest was awesome!! i loved! I didnt think the crew of Davy jones lessend it at all! I really enjoyed it!

As for Saw 3...i dont think i will ever watch that show again...was way too twisted and i didnt like how they were involving children into it.
