1) How were we to know that Catwoman would suck? 2)Human beings are getting stupider 3)The best movies have been niche or poorly marketed 4)Nobody knows who Ra's al Ghul is! 5)The DVD market is skyrocketing, and so is internet piracy!
I've heard 2001 was pretty lame. Like they have a hairy human hand banging soemthing with a hammer at the start, and say it's an advanced ape learnign to use tools or something.
Why does everyone love Wrath of Khan so much? Granted it was a perfectly fine movie in it's own right..
But come on, it's not anywhere near the caliber of Star Wars or ESB. It's great for what it is, but I honestly don't see what the fuss was about. First Contact is better, though I might be biased since I'm more familiar with TNG.
