They're not a set of films I'd call pants but I don't think it counts as the greatest trilogy of all time, I enjoyed them as throwaway action films but that's about it, I definitely don't think they deserve all the plaudits they get.
The Matrix is another film that I'd place in the same sort of category, it's not rubbish but it's nowhere near as great as some people would have you believe - it's a fairly derivative story that was put together reasonably well. Sadly, or perhaps happily, from what I understand of it I don't think there is other than about a couple of people and their sense of dislocation from their lives and the emotional connection they make with each other. However I've never watched it so could be far wrong here.

Kill Bill and Gladiator. Just can't like them.
And no way should the Shawshank Redemption be top of IMDBs list! |

What Jen said Lost In Translation is fab! But then I like Bill Murray and think he's pretty wickedy woo
I heart Gladiator too |

Books brilliant. Film fails.

Anything with Jim Carrey (he's even worse now he's gone serious) or Nicholas Cage, I'm sure I'm going to get flamed to death for that but I honestly can't stand them.

You don't like Eternal Sunshine or The Truman Show?
Have you watched Nic Cage in Leaving Las Vegas or Bringing out the Dead? |

I agree with this completely. I genuinely can't work out why he's so popular

I can understand why people wouldn't like Nicholas Cage or Jim Carey filums. I think they're marmite people.
My dog LOVES Jim Carey. Love loves loves him. I think it's the whole melodramatic, large moves and crazy faces! I like them both |
