Good at movies, not so great at home
 

Alright, when Spiderman came out at the theatres I went and saw it and thought that it was pretty good. I thought it was one of the best movies I have seen in a good while. Then when it finally came out on DVD I went and bought it that day. When I took it home I just didnt think it was that good anymore. Has anyone else thought a movie was so bad ass when it was at the theatres then when they get it home it wasnt that good anymore.

titanic... but thats because you can only really see that movie once

<font color=Silver>I had the same feeling when Freddy V. Jason came out. I saw it three times at the movies, and when I brought the DVD I thought it was real boring, and I havent watched it since, maybe i'll go watch it in a few.............</font>

Fast and the Furious.




















:shifty:

I think it has more to do with it not being as great after you've seen it the first time.

This is one of the reasons, along with cheaptitude, that I don't buy DVDs. These movies are made for big screens and big audiences. The same feeling and energy level a movie provides at the theaters very rarely transforms itself at home.

Rush Hour 2 was a lot better on the big screen than it was on the small screen.
Also, Pirates of the Caribbean.

I agree with Spiderman and Pirates of the Carribean as well. :y:

Great movies, but I lost interest when they came out on DVD. I'm tempted to say The Matrix: Reloaded as well.

I dunno, I think a lot has to do w/ how and on what you watch it.

If it's a movie w/ a lot of effects and stuff, I usually turn off all the lights, and close the blinds etc, try and make the room as dark as possible.

But yeah, unless you have a top of the line system and a 50+ " TV, it's not the same.

I agree with the Spiderman comments. It really does lose a lot of its magic in the home environment. I can't think of any others.
