Star Wars Episode II vs Spider Man.
Which movie do you think will be the biggest hit of this summer?
I guess it would be spider man. Cause this is the very first time spider man go on big screen.
Star Wars? People will still go to watch it....but it's not fresh anymore...

Episode I made $430 million off horrible "buzz". People were trashing the thing up and down, Jar-Jar and shitty little bastard Jack Lloyd made it the butt of many jokes and the marketing blitz alienated a lot of people.
This one, by all accounts, is a lot better film-wise and the marketing blitz isn't half of what Episode I's was. Jar-Jar has apparently been toned down quite a bit.
I'll be there soon after opening day to check out Episode II just like I did Spiderman. So the movie biz has got my $16 for both.
My prediction is that Spiderman makes gaudy amounts of money and so does AOTC. How's that?

Heh, you're not wrong. It was a fairly unique occurrence - there was no way on earth that bad press was going to stop the public going to see a new Star Wars movie. I know in my case I still insisted on seeing it despite the critical reviews and friends who advised me to stay home and burn a $10 bill instead.

Fence, meet groverat.
It's sooo comfortable up here, I've built lounge chairs. Care to join me?
It's difficult to say who will "win" at this point since we know very little of how good AOTC is. (Aside from the standard AintItCool review, which is very positive whereas their TPM review was very negative)
<strong>Natalie Portman or Kirsten Dunst? </strong><hr></blockquote>
Natalie's a bitch. Kirsten any day, though that decision is based on the fact that I don't know much about her.
The Ivy league grapevine is my justification for calling Natalie a bitch.

Is that $16 US for each movie or both? If that's 16 for one that's very expensive. I pay only 9.50 CDN for a movie (in Silver City)
And if you want to get technical it's $7.75 x 4 since I take the girlfriend with me.
(By saying "I will refund your money" I mean "I will apologize for wasting your time.")
<strong>I recommend you see it. If you don't like it I will refund your money*.

So that means you are bullsh*tting at powerdoc
i did see spidey, and it was a good movie- if you know what to expect, a perfect comic book remake with beautiful sweeping action and poor dialogue with a linear plot. and it's not the first time spidey has been on the big screen.
from the early reviews it also appears e2 doesn't suck as bad as e1, it's apparently the 'empire strikes back' of the new trilogy, we'll see ...
<strong>$7.75 each. I round up when it comes to monetary expenditures.

$7.75? Not bad... here it's $9. Ridiculous.
However I will go and see Episode II again and again. There was so much going on and so much to digest that I need to see it a few more times. That and the fact that I'm a huge Star Wars fan. So maybe my opinion is swayed because I'm the same age as the Star Wars saga and I don't know a life without it. Spider-Man I didn't get into until I was a little older
(p.s. not to be picky but the official title is "Spider-Man", thats how marvel has always spelled it )

Spider-Man owns the 3-day record right now ($114M,) but there's no way it will keep up with Star Wars. I think AOTC will make even more money than TPM.
AOTC pleased Harry Knowles. It's also pleased a few other people I've talked to who have already seen it.
