Page 1 of why are there no decent films out in the cinemas at the moment?????

can anyone explain the p*** poor quality of films out at the moment? the next big film i can think of is the mummy returns, but thats not til may. all the top ones all seem to be out in the summer with none before.

thank god for my dvd player.....

a) Just because you don`t like `em doesn`t mean they`re crap and b) because this time of year is always quiet for big splashy mindless action films which nowadays get released mainly in summer or before Christmas. And you can thank Spielberg for that.

im not necessarily talking about `mindless` films. theres nothing i like more than good original films and i accept its a bit quite at this time of year, but if your trying to say that the majority of films out now are good then im sorry but i just cant buy that. differring tastes an all!

My apologies, but when you quote The Mummy Returns as the next decent film out, the phrase mindless action movie immediately springs to mind. This time of year always gets more low key releases, more arthouse and independent stuff. But yeah, I think there are a lot of good films out at the moment, but they just aren`t aimed at people who are really looking forward to The Mummy Returns. Don`t sweat it though, in summer I`ll be saying the same thing as the Odeon becomes cluttered up with blockbusting nonsense.

i suppose its all comes after such (for me anyway) disappointments such as hannibal and vertical limit.

although cthd was a saving grace.....

I`m not sure I`m excited about the prospect of Mummy Returns...

How about

K19 Widowmaker
Lord of the Rings
Spider Man
Matrix 2 & 3

I know these are possibly more in the future than you`d like - Don`t you fancy 13 Days, or Bridget Jones or something ?! There`s always Captain Corelli`s Mandolin soon too. Even Miss Congeniality is supposed to be good for a laugh.

Hey Dan you can also add to your list:-

A.I
The Hulk (Ang Lee directing!)
Gangs of New York
Star Wars Episode 2
Men in Black 2
Meet the Fockers (seriously!)
Phone Booth
Tomb Raider
Minority Report
Final Fantasy
Rush Hour 2
Shanghai Noon 2

Come on, there`s some big movies being lined up! Although I do agree there isn`t much worth watching at the minute. Bridget Jones, 13 Days etc. don`t really capture the imagination. Obviously all the big releases are being lined up for the summer (hopefully)!

I was trying to be realistic about films which will be out in the NEAR future - I`m not sure AI, MIB2 or even The Hulk qualify for that accolade, seeing as they`re only really on the preliminary drawing board currently !

Slow down guys! all those above films are not due out until 2002 (apart from Tomb Raider and Lord of the Rings-Christmas!)

l agree there is nothing out now, or soon in the cinema, but for myself its the same for the dvd`s coming out. Just waiting for -ahem!-UNBREAKABLE myself!

But PLANET OF THE APES is out this summer!!

"Get your hands of me you damn filthy apes!"

exactly!!!

i know whats out in the summer and cant wait, but I WANT TO SEE SOME GOOD FILMS NOOOWWWWW.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
