you've too far Ricarleite! I feel it is my duty as a philly area native to inform that Rocky is a great movie. It is the story of a man wishing to prove to himself and others that he is just not another bum from the street, not just another nobody. It is the Ultimate underdog story. He showed even though he didn't win the fight he was still a winner. It is also a romance story between Rocky and Adrian. It is bar none the best boxing movie ever made. If you ask me Stalone gave the performance of his career(I'll agree that is not saying much for Stalone is not a great actor). It has a great score as well. It's Oscar is definitely well deserved. comparing Titanic to Rocky is like comparing a hamburger to Prime Rib. Say what you will about the sequels(they stink), but the first one is a classic. And if you insult it again, I may just have do more to you than slap you with a fish.

Im afraid they did. Say what you want about Jar Jar being annoying but he was incredibly realistic. Same with all those droids, monsters, and sets. You often forget there digital. They look great. Attack of the Clones looked even better. Im sure Episode 3 will look even better then that. Yoda fighting was the best scene in the history of movies. Growing up with this character always finding his power so mysterious and then seeing him jump out and totally kick ass was the best. Its sad that future generations probably won't appreciate Yoda fighting as much as I did. It is a truely great cinematic momment. Yoda da man.


Jar Jar stinks may have looked realistic to YOU but not to me. To me he looked like a fancy cartoon, and so did all the other CGI crap.

huh? culture of fear? I'm not sure I understand what you are talking about Gundark.

yeah, he was pretty good in that movie. although I would have prefered it, if they had just brought the original broadway cast to hollywood and used them instead of recasting the musical with holllywood stars. Hollywood did that with a lot of broadway musicals. But they really butchered this one. They added a song for Nathian Detroit so Frank Sintra would have a solo in the movie, they took out 3 songs (include one that makes the ending make more sense) and replaced 2 others. This is one movie I'd like to see remade. I love Guys and Dolls but can't stand what hollywood did to it. No offence to Brando though.

here's some.

scenes where everyone is shooting at everyone else, but nobody gets shot. (happened in just about every episode of the A-team)

humans meet an alien culture for the first time. Aliens have never seen a human before and yet can speak perfect english.

when history is altared, yet the hero still remembesr the events as they originally were, so he can go back in time and put history back to the way it was.(happend all the time in Star Trek.)

when someone decides they want to go back in time to change the past, yet if they were successful in changing history, they wouldn't remember the original past so they would have no reason go back in time to change the original history to the perfered history and therefore the original history would be reinstated thereby creating a paradox
(perfect example is the Terminator. If the terminator killed Sarah Connor, John Connor would not exist and therefore the supercomputer would have no nowledge of John Connor and therefor would have no reason to send a termator back in time to kill Sarah Conner, and so John Conner would exist to defeat the terminators in future, thereby creating a paradox)

when a woman is able beat up a man who is multiple times her size, weight and strength.

when there is a misunderstanding between a romantic couple that could be resolved in seconds but the person who thinks she knows what happened won't shut up long enough to listen to person who knows what really happen and so, it takes the length of the movie to resolve the misunderstanding. (this happend in just about every Fred Astair/ Ginger Rogers movie)

when the good guy decides to take on the bad guy by himself when it might be wiser to call the cops.

when the bad guys take hostages and threaten to kill them if anyone tries to interfere with them, the hero stilll interferes, and even though the bad guys have the perfect opportunity to kill the hostages, they don't
