Yesterday I went to see Red 2, which is pretty much the same as Red 1, & as I was getting my usual from the concession stand I the two kids behind the counter sucked me into their debate, which was better Harry Potter or LOTR?, I told them I wasn't a fan of either, though if I had to choose I would go with Potter, since those movies never put me to sleep. It was fun listening to their little debate until the LOTR guy said the TDK was a bad movie, then the gloves came the fuck off & I was back it, TDK is one of the finest comic book related pieces of film ever, of all the movies that have come out in the past 15 yrs. I think I've watched & re-watched that movie more than any other movie, in recent history, it never gets old. He then went on & started bashing Spidey because "it wasn't realistic enough, every time he sings into the side of the building or falls & has shit fall on top of him he just gets up & shakes it off" Dude, it's a movie about a kid who got super-powers after being bit by a radioactive spider, if they made it realistic they movie would've been over after the spider bite, because the kid would've fucking died. I think I had more fun with these guys & their debates than I did watchng the movie, that's not to say Red 2 isn't an entertaining movie, it's exactly what you would expect, if you had fun with Red you'll have fun with Red 2.
