There is no spoon.
Given 2007 has had more sequels to movies than i can remember and with still a few more to come next year, what was your favourite so far?

For me it has to be Die Hard 4, gave every Die Hard 4 fan what they wanted and then some, yes it had a few cheese ridden moments but otherwise it delivered. Bruce Willis pulled it off superbly even after taking over 10 years out from the previous Die Hard, fitting back into the character like he'd never stepped away. Being a bit of a movie nut, more so a Die Hard nut i had high expectations for the film and overall would rate this so far head and shoulders above any of the other sequels and certainly added to the Die Hard image.

It's about money.

You can spend $150,000,000 dollars on Harry Potter 9, Shrek 12 and Pirates of the Carribean: At Bell's End, and guarantee that people will go and see them because the franchise is so strong.

Or you could spend the same amount on three potentially amazing films, but you'd know that people just wouldn't go and see them. The ties arn't there.

I know what its about, i asked which one people enjoyed, not state the obvious replies but never mind.
 
Goal 2 was alright except for the floppy haired scouse twat that is in it.
Die Hard 4 was very good
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 wasn't as good as the first two
Evan Almighty was funny

I'm looking forward to the new Haloween, more like a prequel though
