Where is Highlander II on that map? I can't find it. I hate unsearchable information, dammit.
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So apparently, The Bad News Bears Go To Japan wasn't very good....

None of the films along the bottom left side were any good. It's just that TBNBGTJ was the worst compared to the original.

How is CURSE OF THE WERERABBIT a sequel?

They considered LotR: The Two Towers an improvement over the first movie?!?

Hey. New board.
Rotten Tomatoes did, which means that fewer people outright didn't like it. But metacritic didn't, which means that those that did like it gave it, on average, lower scores. Which makes sense to me - Fellowship is, imho, a better movie but less viscerally satisfying (fewer exciting action sequences), so I can see some people getting bored by Fellowhip but enjoying Two Towers enough to give it "fresh", if not a super-high score.
The real story on that one is that they both got really good reviews across the board, which is why the difference is so small.

Because books.
The Two Towers always felt like the draggy middle part to me, although there are some excellent moments in it.
