This "greatest movie/trilogy" will fade into oblivion in time..

Rating: 5/10 (28 May 2004)

I think those that have described both this movie and the trilogy as the 'greatest ever' should go back to their video games. In time, all three of these movies will take their rightful place in film history...oblivion.

I can't understand how people can equate special effects with great film making. There's really nothing positive that I can say about these movies except that the special effects were at first stunning. Soon their repetitiveness led to utter boredom.
I would much rather watch a film about realistic situations that people can actually relate to. But I guess if you spent your entire life playing video games and watching other special effects based movies like these, then these movies would qualify as the greatest ever.
Someone made the comment that this movie was better than Citizen Kane. Watch this movie as many times as Citizen Kane and see which holds up better. Believe me, this whole trilogy will be a fading memory in ten or twenty years and Citizen Kane will continue to be praised. This is just another case of the 'dumbing down' of the culture. These same people probably can't wait until the next Superbowl so they can watch the commercials.
I generously gave all three movies of this trilogy a 5/10.
