"I'm still figuring out what's going to go/In my experimental film..."
A couple of weeks ago, diligent readers might remember, I made a quick post about the month of May and the movies that it held in store and how I was excited about Spiderman 3 and also Pirates of the Caribbean 3.
Well they did not live up to their expectations. In fact, I would say that both of them left me wanting. I don't know that I can put my finger on what it was exactly; but I was certainly left wanting.
I won't get into spoilers for anybody, I don't want to be a harbinger of the doom of a fun time. My review of these two movies is this: they tried to do too much to wrap up the lose story lines and tie all of the ends up so that a fourth movie would be a clean break. The result? Two completely mediocre movies.
The worst part is that I think they would have held up on their own if they had been first or in the middle; but they couldn't be and I am more certain of it than ever--Hollywood is doomed and needs help.
