Do you know my poetry?

I wonder, does anyone think Ivan the Terrible Part Two is a superior sequel to it's first? I've always thought that although the second film is great and it's color sequence is just plain amazing, that part one really gave us more of a real sense to the people were seeing and aspect of the setting. Both wonderful films though, Eisenstein was a genious.

My fave sequel is Probably Batman returns, Catwoman and the penguin, most excellent. The ones after michael blew totally. What the hell George Clooney as Batman. Which bright spark in casting came up with that one?

I totally agree with you about X2 and Batman Returns. Both of the those were amazing. I hope that X3 is as good as or better than X2, even though it's hard to imagine it can be.

Hmmm sorry but i would have to disagree with you about X2 because my favorite charachter Gambit wasn't there *sigh*

i know that this is a very biased opinion though but overall heh i did enjoy X-2 more then the 1st one

For example I thought the 2nd Matrix would be the greatest movie ever since the 1st was so good. I do think that X3 will probably be better, I just don't want to be wrong know what I mean?

Im suprised that Holden selected Ocean's 12. A-List cast, and errrm, that's about all i can remember being (slightly) good about it. The Julia Roberts scene was lame to say the least.

LOTR two towers and return of the king were both as good as the first

The Godfather Prt. 3 was the best one, despite its HORRENDOUS absolutely terrible ending...

Last Crusade was the best INDIE movie- mostly because of Sean Connery
