I'm not even surprised this made number one...the public eats $hit like homemade ice cream these days

Rating: 3/10 (17 November 2009)

Another apocalyptic movie to remind me of my own mortality. This time it's in your face: 2012. No need to ask what the plot is, or if there is one. You know from the earliest teaser that this film was going to be another one of the movies where Hollywood's flexes it's muscles in the special effects department. I'm tired of the movie scene these days. It's so bleak. We need a new George Lucas to make a movie that has the same effect as Star Wars, at least emotionally (Lord knows there's really no where else to go with advances in special effects). I like John Cusack. I find him to be a very talented actor, but he was seduced by the dark side of the force with this movie. Hey, Hollywood, get your heads out of your collective @$$ and start making movies with more meaning to them and stop making so much eye candy. It is my hope that this film will blend in with the rest of the eye candy that's been made in this decade and soon be forgotten. Maybe it'll have a cult following in 20 or 30 years or so and get remade.
Plus this whole 2012 concept has been shoved down my throat, regurgitated and shoved back down over and over again to the point where I'm wishing we could just get to that particular date in the year 2012 and get through it and into the year 2013 so I can laugh at everyone who worried and fretted about it like everyone worried and fretted and blew out of proportion Y2K.
