I don't know where this whole notion of a movie being a blockbuster meaning it doesn't have to be very good came from. It seems like lowered expectations, or flat out brainwashing. I can't count the times I hear the term "mindless fun" thrown around. True, it doesn't have to be profound, but it also doesn't mean it can't be a respectable film.
I think it's a bit of a lame excuse.
With that being said, I enjoyed the first. It was a fun movie, while not abandoning some semblance of focus on character and coherent story.

nice post. i actually thought the first half of the first movie was watchable. then, a lot of what i like to (possibly mistakenly) call plotholes start to set in. plain stupidity is probably more accurate. for one thing, i remember thinking that the girl - she would have been dead. running underfoot of giant, killer robots like she's some fuckin' wide reciever. and then another particularly assinine scene that comes to mind was where the boy - the lead character - he was all disappointed and shit with the girl possibly having some sort of small-time criminal record - acting like he's not sure if he wansta fuck her now. i mean c'mon
P.S.
the Dark Knight was terrible.
