Prince of Persia

sucks! I don't understand why the movie industry produces so much crap. Shouldn't these peole know what they're doing? They spend oodles of money on lackluster scripts that mostly focus on linking disjointed special effects sequences with long drops, enormous explosions, collapsing buildings/caves/mountanins and what not. Why don't they spend money on a script that tells a story that doesn't need the special effects?
*grrrr*
Sorcerers Apprentice looks like fun - but also too expensive.
Iron Man 2 got sucky reviews. Let's-make-the-sequel-even-bigger is not a philosophy that leads to good movies!
Sherlock Holmes was great fun - because the acting was fun. Excellent popcorn movie. Must. Get. on. Bluray. :-)
But mostly I feel that the bigger the budget, the greater the disappointment.
Are there any movies out there that I shouldn't miss?
