I think keeping your brain switched on, your mind open and your preconceptions at home is the best way to go to the movies.

I agree (I think). Preconceptions have to come into it at some point though.

There are 100's of films released each year. Unless you intend to see everyone you have to make a decision before you've seen the film.

You should always be willing to adjust those preconceptions in the face of further information though.

NB - What happened to leaving preconceptions at home for 'X-Men'?

LOL - there are "preconceptions" and then there's "evidence of atrocities" But actually X-men was one of the films that helped me leave my preconceptions at home!

It's very different from the way the comic book was before the film, (as I said the comic book changed to be in line with the film and its profits ) but viewed as a seperate entity it's not a bad comic book romp of a movie. I figured if *I* could accept a 6'4" tall Hugh Jackman playing a 5'3" Wolverine I can accept whatever Lucas has in store for us all in a few days time

You're absolutely right here of course. Unless you want to live in the cinema you DO have have to make choices about which films to see. You make those decisions based on... yep, you're right, your preconceptions.

Oooh I know... I make those choices at home and then leave my preconceptions there when I go to the cinema! lol (thin ... VERY thin)

Your decline in desire to see the 'next' Star Wars movie is very much the same as my waning interest in Buffy.

So we'll get in touch after we've seen it and let you know I'm sure some of us won't mind going again if you want someone to see it with

I am genuinely interested to know what people think about it.

That said, does your waning interest in Buffy get altered by the opinions of self declared Buffy fans?

Unless you don't get to go to the piccys , then ya wait for them to come out on sky and watch em all to ya ickle hearts content

Re: Incandenza, *grumble grumble* I can't get to the post where you dared to affront Episode I, my 'quote' bit only goes so far.

But anyways, hmph!!!!

I agree, people shouldn't see every movie incase they 'might' like it, but phenominons like Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, has to be experienced in the cinema at least once, because it does add a whole new feel.

Also Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, another movie you MUST see in the cinema, or should have, cos it ain't there no more

Star Wars RULES!!!!!
George Lucas DRULES!!!!

hee hee

I think i'd go see Spider-man...not sure why..Star Wars just isn't the smae without Han tho'

Well I can safely say now that yes, I have seen it. More than once.

I've seen Spiderman too.

Attack of the Clones is in my opinion better.

I've also heard rumblings from people who have seen 'Spiderman', that you see far too much of Peter Parker and not enough of Spidey himself....
