For some reason I often feel the need to express how very much I dislike Terminator 3. Yeah, I really, really don't like that movie.
I liked the first two Mummys well enough myself. They were pretty shitty, but enjoyable enough for a cheesy summer flick (if it hadn't been for Rachel Weisz, I actually probably wouldn't have liked them). I suppose the fact that the last time I saw either of them was during their theatrical runs says a whole lot about how much I actually liked them... but anyway, all this to say I would gladly defend you from any shit giving that comes your way for liking them. And yeah, the third struck me as an incredible bad idea. Especially without Rachel Weisz.
I am not that big of a fan of over the top mindless comedies, but I seem to remember finding the original Austin Powers amusing (again, I think the last time I saw it was during its theatrical run). Saw the second one and hated it, same old jokes, more ridiculous than before, thought it was crap. Never even dreamed about considering the possiblility of bothering with the third one.
I also agree with you regarding Dalton and Craig. Though most guys seem to hate Roger Moore's Bond flick, I find The Man with the Golden Gun and Live and Let Die to be by far my two favorite Bond films. I liked Casino Royale, due to its loyalty to the source materially, but I didn't particularly like Craig in the role of Bond. I am also not the biggest Brosnan fan. Where I do disagree with you slightly is regarding Dalton, I rather liked Dalton in The Living Daylights, though I hated him in A License to Kill.
I always liked Roald Dahl's books as a kid. And I always really liked the film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I kind of liked the idea of a remake that more closely followed the book, which is what the Johnny Deep film promised to be. Ultimately, I felt Johnny Deep was absolutely awful in the role, and the same annoying guy playing every single Oopa Loompa and the fact that the Oopa Loompas were so obnoxious really made this movie entirely worthless. The original film did a great job with the Oopa Loompas, they were weird and charming. In the new film, they were a bit embarassing to watch. The whole think left a horribly taste in my mouth.
