: Seriously. Fucking dickhead 16 year-old wannabe film students walk into fucking Blade 2 and think it's going to be a good movie like Schindler's List or something. It's about VAMPIRES. I can't think of ONE good vampire movie, that had VAMPIRES in it. Shadow of the Vampire doesn't count. And From Dusk Till Dawn was fucking great, but in the grand scheme of movies, it wasn't that great.
: I used to be like that. I hated every movie because I'd expect Taxi Driver from some shit like She's All That. I grew out of it, started watching movies on their own, and I enjoy a LOT of things now.
Unlike the ultra-Fanboys, I had rather low expectations for the flick. Why? As a general rule, the first chpater of a book is a ltitle slow, and most books that start with a bang end with a whimper, and I think there actually isn't that much difference between the mediums, apart from the obvious lack of visual aid in books, so ultimately I wound up LIKING Menace more than most people.
