Movie Disappointments


Since I haven't seen a new movie in almost two weeks (an event that rarely happens for me), I want to comment on the biggest disappointment of the summer. So far, I've seen some ups (Miami Vice, Nacho Libre, and MI:3), some mediocre films (Superman Returns and Devil Wears Prada), and some really bad ones (Da Vinci Code). In the midst of all these ups and downs, I was really down after watching X-Men: The Last Stand. There is a story, good actors, and decent special effects. I guess the fault lies in the director. Brett Ratner, the Jewish guy who thinks he's a reincarnated black man, is the worst director out there and still happens to get great projects to direct as if he's Steven Spielberg reincarnated (if he were dead...and black). Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker will always be funny, and Ratner's still living off that movie's success. Way to kill the X-Men franchise Brett but thank God that the movie made a lot of money so we can see another X-Men movie, hopefully with a different director.
