I Have To See This Movie

It made my head explode for several different reasons and each was weirder than the last. Let's just say to save me a seat. I tell you and the world that I don't want to break my streak of seeing every movie The Rock is in but I would see this one even if it starred Jack Black and Billy Ray Cyrus.

You will never forget that moment. None of us will. We will never talk of this again.

Count me in. I get a kick out of Dwayne's movies. All except 'Tooth Fairy', which had to be the most idiotic movie I've seen for a long time. This one looks right up my alley.

This looks like someone decided to take every movie ever made, put it into the cgi blender and see what came out the other end. The guys who made this must be laughing their asses off all the way to the bank. There is FULL RETARD and then there is this. If the movie pays off in half the way this trailer does then it's gonna be a huge winner. This is what I talk about when I talk movies...you want to make your movie 3D? Then give me nothing but 3D moments like the cherry bouncing off The Rock's chest. That is brilliant.

I saw the poster earlier this week and was surprise to discover that the "2" meant that it was a sequel to the Brendan Fraser "Journey to the Center of the Earth" film (I guess it made more money than I thought)

Maybe they're trying to make some kind of Verne-Verse film series with 20,000 Leagues as the third in a trilogy.

I don't know if I'd see this theaters, if only because I want to have a hard beverage on hand for every time they say "Mysterious Island".

Actually, the more I think about it, the more unfortunate it is that they are setting these in the 21st century and with little kids in lead roles because what with the "Pirates" series, Downey's Sherlock Holmes, the recent Three Musketeers, and the upcoming adaptations of "John Carter" and "The Raven", action heavy period pieces with romanticized settings and steampunk aesthetics are very much in vogue right now, and a period adaptation of any of Verne's work would fit right in perfectly!

We need a great STEAMPUNK adventure. Have you ever seen 'Franklin' with Ryan Phillipe. I loved the world that movie created.

I was wondering about that 'sequel' thing too. More goofy brilliance in marketting. You tie your movie to a hit, not that Brendan Frasier crapfest.

Everything about this film is deliciously deliberate.
