Worst US Theater released movies ever made… 80’s and up

I figure we threashed out the captain america debate on too many threads already, so I am not gonna say much. I wanted to just point out how entertaining it is reading your rants, shmokes. Even if I completely disagree, I can feel the seething hate from your Captain America rage all the way over here. It is like you would rather sand your face with a belt sander than watch that movie again. :lol

We just wanted Fellowship of the Ring again over the weekend. My daughter had never seen it.

Ever scene with Weaving in it, I was thinking this +exact+ thought. Agent Smith with long blonde hair.

Vigo:
I remember the time I was watching LOTR in the theater with my wife (I think it was two towers). In the scene where Hugo Weaving and Vigo Mortensen meet up, I put on my best Agent Smith impression and leaned to my wife and said: "Mister Aragorn."

My wife broke out in a full laughter and it caused everyone around to stare. She was so embarrassed. I never let her forget that one. Hehe. >:D

Goes to show, agent smith was on both our minds as well.  :dunno

The thing is, since Agent Smith is such an iconic character, and The Matrix such a good film, I sometimes wonder if it's that, and not Weaving's performance capabilities (or lack thereof) that cause that reaction.

Still, Elrond seemed awfully Smithesque

LMAO. How . . . I mean HOW IN GOD'S NAME could anyone think that? I'm no PBJ. I loved Hellboy 1, Spiderman 1 & 2, X-Men 1 & 2 (and First Class), Iron Man 1, Kick Ass, Unbreakable, Sin City, American Splendor, Watchmen, Batman, Batman Begins/Dark Knight, A History of Violence. Maybe A History of Violence and American Splendor are out of place on the list since they're not traditional superhero stories, but regardless . . . I'm a sucker for comic book movies. With that said, Captain America is easily the worst movie I've seen in the last three years, maybe longer. If it were any worse it would be Plan-9-From-Outer-Space bad. Unfortunately, that's not the case. It's just bad.

I liked it.  I read the comic as a kid and it evoked what I remembered liking about the character.  I was shocked they kept the WWII story line and really felt that added to the movie. It allowed them to keep the patriotic angle of the character. Tommy Lee Jones was great as always.  Having Stark's dad in it was also cool as well.  The villain was weak but that didn't ruin the movie. 

Okay I'll downgrade it to fantastic.
