I saw some pretty laughably bad previews for a cheapy horror movie he made recently called drag me to hell.

Spider Man 3 was pretty bad imho...

...The third one not a terrible film by a long shot, still it felt disjointed and felt like they were trying to cram way too many plots and villians into a single film.

First, I've been told by reliable sources that Drag Me to Hell was actually very good.

Second, I enjoyed the first two Spider-Man films immensely ... but 3 was absolutely, completely and utterly awful.  I will not be seeing 4 or 5 (he's shooting them back-to-back, or at least that was the plan not too long ago), regardless of whether he directs it or not.

While X-Men 3 had good moments, and you could tell it was trying to be good ... Brett Ratner just couldn't handle it.  Bryan Singer has even said that he regrets not finishing the X-Men trilogy, and I have to say that I agree with him.

But there's no excuse for the shitfest that was Spider-Man 3.  Nothing was good in that movie.  That was the first time I've walked out of the theater literally shaking with rage at what I'd just seen.

X-Men 3 just didn't quite make it, and ended up being very average.  (We won't speak of the abomination that was Wolverine.)  I actually do own it on DVD ... but no one can ever make me buy Spider-Man 3.  There's a reason I haven't bought the first two on Blu-Ray - you have to buy the third one to get the first two.
