I haven’t seen the movie again since posting about it, but I thought I’d share some other thoughts. I’m warning you now that this post is probably not going to be written very well (much like the sentence preceding this one).

I found it pretty hard to “geek out” about the movie after seeing it, and I still can’t geek out about it now. I’m pretty laid back about the whole thing. “It’s good! I’m sure the next one will be fun too!” I don’t really care about any more than that. At first I thought it was because I was getting older (34), but I think it’s just because the movie focused more on being fun than original (not a bad thing (well, I wish it was more original, but I’m not gonna cry about it)). There doesn’t seem to be a whole lot to talk about. Like…I can’t get into the “mythology” of the story. Does that make sense? I dunno…I thought I was going somewhere with this. 😛

In her defense has anyone been able to do that convincingly? Because whenever someone does that in a game/movie/show it always takes me out of the experience.

Regardless of what people think of the films, I thought Martin Freeman pulled it off reasonably well in the second Hobbit movie.

I wouldn’t take IMDb ratings all that seriously, either. They rate The Fly II 4.9/10 for crying out loud.

I like The Fly II. It’s nothing great, but it’s quite ambitious for a sequel nobody was asking for.
