What World Should I Return to Poll 1 of 2
Added 2022-12-29 03:54:46 +0000 UTCOk I am itching to finish some series in the new year. I really want to see every one of these!
This will be Poll 1, the top two winners from this poll will face the top two winners from Poll 2 in a third poll which will go live on Sunday.
Thank you for all the well wishes after the Lens update last night, trying to look on the bright side but this Flu is taking me (and Carly and kids) out HARD!
Here's to a much healthier 2023!
This poll is going to nuts right?

That is a reasonable point. But there are many people that argue that those movies are not good. The OT would have stood on its own without more back story. I just didn’t need Hannibal, much as I may enjoy watching him play that part. I did not mind Red Dragon and the deaged version in that film, but still I don’t know that it made me care about the character.

2023-01-09 10:48:54 +0000 UTC"make the mistake of thinking that we need the backstory of a horrible individual to understand him. " Like Darth Vader? There were, what, 4 movies and 5 series about that?. When all that was needed was a simple, "Vader was seduced by the dark side of the Force."
Mike Lemon
2023-01-06 02:22:39 +0000 UTCOh I am so sorry Hannibal is not a good movie, the book is OK but both make the mistake of thinking that we need the backstory of a horrible individual to understand him. The only thing that makes it somewhat readable is the images of Hannibal in old Europe. And the ending of the movie is laughable. I confess I don’t remember the end of the book, which says something.
Christopher Gray
2023-01-03 23:50:36 +0000 UTCLethal Weapon 2 is miles ahead of all the others in quality. Maybe Superman 2 is a closer 2nd.

2022-12-31 22:20:58 +0000 UTCI can't vote on this. These movies are all good, but not great imo. If I had to vote I'd tie lethal weapon II, Hannibal for 1st and Indy, Jack, and Superman for 2nd.
Joseph M Sica
2022-12-31 19:35:07 +0000 UTCFirst you say you were judging it on own merits, then you say the effects were good for it's time - well, which is it? In case you can't make up your mind, you were right the second time. They made the movie with the technology available at the time, the alternative being to not make the film at all. If you can't make allowances for the time the movie was made I don't know what to tell you, Maybe you just don't have much of an imagination.
Richard Maurer
2022-12-31 10:52:55 +0000 UTCSorry but it's a movie that relies a lot on special effects and when they look bad to the point of being comical, it takes away from the enjoyment of the movie. Also I wasn't comparing it to today's movies, only on it's own merits. And this comes from someone who first watched Superman II when he was a kid. "I mean, what were they supposed to do, wait 40+ years for special effects", no, those were good for it's time but we're not in 1981 anymore.
Radwar
2022-12-31 01:59:08 +0000 UTCAgree 100%. The Lethal Weapon series actually gets more Cassie and Carly “friendly” as the movies go on.
Just Plain Bob
2022-12-30 16:45:55 +0000 UTCCrystal Skull falls into a rare category of films for me: a movie that’s so bad it actually made me angry. I suppose that’s some kind of accomplishment since I’ve only had that reaction a small handful of times in my 53 years.
Just Plain Bob
2022-12-30 16:43:51 +0000 UTCthis feels like equal parts "we'll win no matter what" and "we can't win" pretty much every choice in both poles is worth watching at least once..
Gunnar Rea
2022-12-30 11:51:39 +0000 UTCI saw that Lethal Weapon is winning so I'll throw mine in for Hannibal- definitely a worthy follow-up to the original
LuMarq
2022-12-30 08:21:55 +0000 UTCAlso, could people stop judging special effects in old movies against todays standards. It makes you sound silly. I mean, what were they supposed to do, wait 40+ years for special effects they didn't even know would exist?
Richard Maurer
2022-12-30 06:51:37 +0000 UTCYes, lets get some good torture porn on this channel!
Richard Maurer
2022-12-30 06:43:32 +0000 UTCVictoire!
Ian Cano
2022-12-30 06:16:57 +0000 UTCI'd say the Lethal Weapon movies haven't aged very well, but to each their own.
Richard Maurer
2022-12-30 06:11:43 +0000 UTCThis is unfair. Superman II and Hannibal are two of my favorite movies ever. And Lethal Weapon II great. Probably quote it once a week. I hope you eventually watch all three.
Mark Daniels
2022-12-30 02:45:08 +0000 UTCOn this poll, I chose superman 2. Lethal weapon is a good series, I wouldn’t be sad if you watch that either. Indiana Jones and the crystal skull I was very disappointed with, but if you do watch it you’ll be done with the Indiana Jones series until the new one comes out next year. No matter what you choose I will be watching.

David Bunnetto
2022-12-30 01:44:05 +0000 UTCGiven the reaction to Superman I, how could it be anything besides Superman II?
Paul Stelter
2022-12-30 01:25:56 +0000 UTCCould be right
James1035
2022-12-30 00:56:59 +0000 UTCSUPERMAN II has a love story that I think Cassie would like. Plus she really liked Christopher Reeve in the first movie and also in SOMEWHERE IN TIME. I think overall she'll enjoy SUPERMAN II more than LETHAL WEAPON 2.
_tragicmike
2022-12-30 00:19:09 +0000 UTCit's CITIZEN KANE compared to H2 but it's still not a great movie.
Matt Rose
2022-12-30 00:10:51 +0000 UTCMost people don't care how good the special effects are. They're not bad for the era.
Chris Bordeman
2022-12-30 00:05:09 +0000 UTCSorry but Superman II hasn't aged very well. To me it's become more of a comedy because of how bad the special effects are.
Radwar
2022-12-29 22:40:58 +0000 UTCLW2 over Superman ll? Really? I'd take any movie in the poll (except Crystal Skull) over LW2.
Richard Maurer
2022-12-29 21:23:48 +0000 UTCThey weren't all bad, 3 was enjoyable.
Mike Lemon
2022-12-29 21:02:50 +0000 UTCI'll defend the TV series with Adrian Paul. The cinematic sequels all range from horrible to awful.
Matt Rose
2022-12-29 20:44:23 +0000 UTCVICTORY is a pretty solid film, as I recall. Good call.
Matt Rose
2022-12-29 20:43:33 +0000 UTCNot sure if I agree or not. I think she will like it, but not sure she would enjoy it more then The Sum of All Fears🧐
Cole Jennett
2022-12-29 20:40:45 +0000 UTC...but...but... there can be only one...
Happy Hanukkah
2022-12-29 20:21:02 +0000 UTCGodfather 2 is one of the rare sequels that is better than the original. That's why I recomend it.
Doug Cook
2022-12-29 19:44:55 +0000 UTCHi Cassie! I hope you enjoyed your Christmas. Although, by the sounds of it, it seems you guys were all feeling under the weather. I hope you had a good time nevertheless. I have a film suggestion kinda out of left field. I just heard legendary Brazilian soccer player Pelé just passed away. Which got me thinking about the 1981 film Victory. It’s about POWs in a WWII prison camp. Who are made to play exhibition soccer matches against the Germans. Pelé is one of the stars in it. Along with Michael Caine and, Rocky himself, Sylvester Stallone. Anyways, if you ever do another sports Poll, maybe you can add it to the list. I hope you and your family feel better. Have a wonderful New Year!
Robert da Spruce
2022-12-29 19:38:50 +0000 UTCAs well as Superman (infamously). I do not think a lot of what was written by him was retained for 1 and almost certainly not for 2. It sounds like the Superman Puzo wrote was more akin to the Batman tv series
Brian McGovern
2022-12-29 19:08:03 +0000 UTC...but...but... there are 5 Highlander films... :)
Walter
2022-12-29 18:49:22 +0000 UTCLethal Weapon 2 is the only one of these that’s actually good. (Well, Superman 2 has it’s qualities.)
Mr Trick
2022-12-29 18:38:51 +0000 UTCYes, love her in LW3. I always like the third film the best in the series!
Kelly Marie
2022-12-29 17:25:21 +0000 UTCI picked Superman II because it is far better than the original. Lethal Weapon II is better than the first. Both good picks.
Bill Maurer
2022-12-29 17:18:36 +0000 UTCThere’s not a bad choice among those movie except for Crystal Skull, which was a real step down from the previous movies in the series. I still think it’s fun, but not necessarily good. Superman II was my vote. But Lethal Weapons 2 is fun, too. God Father II is the best film on the list. I actually like it a bit better than the original.
Terry Wood
2022-12-29 17:15:24 +0000 UTCHighlander also has the advantage of being a one-off, so Cassie won't feel any need to complete a series. :-| (Best of luck to Henry Cavill.)
Happy Hanukkah

2022-12-29 15:25:25 +0000 UTCAs amusing as your reaction to Crystal Skull might be, I'm fairly certain making someone watch that movie is a violation of the Geneva Convention.
SRSChaos
2022-12-29 14:56:07 +0000 UTCTrivia: Richard Donner is the director of both Lethal Weapon and Superman (originally). Mario Puzo wrote both The Godfather (famously) as well as Superman.
Happy Hanukkah
2022-12-29 14:11:27 +0000 UTCBloody Romans!
Happy Hanukkah
2022-12-29 14:03:40 +0000 UTCI would agree. No need to watch Crystal Skull ever and one can ABSOLUTELY not trust Disney with Indy 5.
Mike LL
2022-12-29 13:39:50 +0000 UTCI also love the addition of Rene Russo in LW3
Walter
2022-12-29 12:33:21 +0000 UTCDarn. If I could vote for two. I love the sum of all fears.
Seymor Butz
2022-12-29 12:01:32 +0000 UTCSuperman 2 is good, but I would skip 3 and definitely skip 4, then go to Returns (2006) [which gets a bad rap. It's pretty good except for one story element.], that would finish up Superman, unless you want to hit some animated [Apocalypse (2010)?].
Mike Lemon
2022-12-29 11:03:03 +0000 UTCSuper easy to predict this one. lol
inpham0us
2022-12-29 08:59:30 +0000 UTCI liked Hannibal. Guess I’m in the minority there.
David Blount
2022-12-29 08:30:01 +0000 UTCThe ending alone makes the whole exercise pointless to me
Patrick Flanagan
2022-12-29 08:12:44 +0000 UTCI wouldn't call it neither misguided nor fix. It is the closest version that could have been assembled from Donner's original vision and they had to cut a lot of corners, like using rehearsal takes and reusing the ending that has been originally written for part 2, then moved over to the first movie. Despite liking many things in Donner's version, especially the tone being closer to the first one, I fully agree though that for a first time watch it should be the theatrical version, because that is the only complete version of the movie. The Donner Cut is not a properly finished movie and should be treated as a bonus material to see what that version could have been. I think it even says so in the beginning.
Gábor Árki
2022-12-29 08:06:19 +0000 UTCIt doesn't look like SUPERMAN II will win this time, but if it does, I strongly recommend watching the original theatrical version. There was a misguided attempt to "fix" the movie about 15 years ago (it had a troubled production, the original director was fired halfway through) called "the Richard Donner cut," but it's a complete mess.
Patrick Flanagan
2022-12-29 07:44:01 +0000 UTCStill have a soft spot for superman 2 with zod and crew, but will go with the crowd for lw2. Hoping you head off to the synderverse instead....
rakesh
2022-12-29 07:13:31 +0000 UTCI figured Indy 4 wasn't gonna get much votes lol! personally for me, I'd say you should at least give it a shot, since Indy 5 this summer is rapidly approaching! don't get me wrong, Indy 4 has many flaws, but I somewhat find it entertaining at least, mainly because Harison Ford is still a joy to watch him as Indy, and there are a few scenes that are pretty awesome to watch, but I do agree that it's the weakest link! but hey, that's just me! really enjoyed your YT edit of "The Two Towers" today! hope you're doing well, much love and support🥰😁😉👍
Wesley White
2022-12-29 06:34:04 +0000 UTCThis whole thing is about the roller coaster of watching movies we’ve seen and everyone knows she would not like this movie but her reactions to this movie would be fantastic.. I’ve been hoping she would follow up with Hannibal and even more exciting to watch would be Red Dragon.
Robert Ciurczak
2022-12-29 06:21:10 +0000 UTCnever ever watch Hannibal, unless you want a lifetime of therapy and nightmares
zynjams
2022-12-29 06:17:27 +0000 UTCYou never need to watch Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It's abysmal. Everything that is wrong with filmmaking is contained in that movie. So beyond academic purposes it's not worth watching.
Myles Away
2022-12-29 06:14:19 +0000 UTCLW2 is totally worth it just to see Joe Pesci’s character.
Charlie Chap
2022-12-29 06:00:21 +0000 UTCOkay, I have been WAITING for Crystal Skull. I'm hoping for it. And Sum of All Fears is good too! Another thinker, kinda like Mission Impossible 1. Can't wait to see everything coming up!
MovieMatt94
2022-12-29 05:51:07 +0000 UTCThat was easy. Thought I was going to spend a lot of time on this one. Lethal Weapon.

2022-12-29 05:01:37 +0000 UTCHannibal is a fantastic show!! But sorry not better than a 5 time academy award winning film. We will have to agree to disagree on that one.
brooke atkins
2022-12-29 04:53:48 +0000 UTCLethal Weapon 2 is going to be a blast!!!!!!!
John Cranberry
2022-12-29 04:50:59 +0000 UTCShe needs to watch Lethal Weapon 2 with Carly. That would be fun.
Ian Cano
2022-12-29 04:50:20 +0000 UTCThe Hannibal TV series from Bryan Fuller is better than all of the existing full-length movies put together, imo. But yeah, of all of them, Red Dragon is probably my favorite.
Rue
2022-12-29 04:49:56 +0000 UTCIf you never return to Indiana Jones ever again, I wouldn't be mad, Cassie. Promise! lol
Rue
2022-12-29 04:47:47 +0000 UTCWould’ve been better if they had kept Jodie and gone with the original ending in the novel. She wouldn’t go for it, though.
Brian Lowery
2022-12-29 04:40:40 +0000 UTCLW2 is one of the few sequels to surpass the original.
Brian Lowery
2022-12-29 04:39:27 +0000 UTCHannibal is an ok movie, I actually prefer Manhunter to any of the sequels

djKENTO
2022-12-29 04:32:11 +0000 UTCI guess then that at 76 I am not old. I'm not voting in either poll because I don't have a dog in either fight.
Mingo Wayama
2022-12-29 04:31:56 +0000 UTCyou love Harrison Ford but can do without Crystal Skull, also why Sum of All Fears isn’t high on the list; Hannibal isn’t high up there either; you’ll probably have the most fun with Lethal Weapon 2 given your reaction to the first
JL_83
2022-12-29 04:29:04 +0000 UTCI bet they can fit Harrison in an adaptation of the President book since he's aged. I've often wondered who could play his son. Maybe Ryan Gosling?
Kuskesh Haramzadeh
2022-12-29 04:24:42 +0000 UTCThe series is so good, it's a shame they had to rush the last season.

Mike Cummins
2022-12-29 04:21:29 +0000 UTCMinus the fact they changed the villains from the book it’s an ok movie. Harrison Ford is still my favorite Jack Ryan though
James1035
2022-12-29 04:20:26 +0000 UTCI agree!! I think that franchise just gets better and better.

brooke atkins
2022-12-29 04:18:19 +0000 UTCLethal Weapon 2 is good and I think you will enjoy it the best out of these movies.
James1035
2022-12-29 04:16:48 +0000 UTCRed Dragon is definitely superior to Hannibal. Although most movies are.

Will C
2022-12-29 04:11:00 +0000 UTCJoe Pesci does some of his best comedic work in the Lethal Weapon series, starting with 2. *heavy sigh* he's the guy from Home Alone, Cassie (lol)
Benny Hubbs
2022-12-29 04:10:58 +0000 UTCI would love Sum of All Fears maybe one day :)

aarswft
2022-12-29 04:04:33 +0000 UTCCassie you need to watch red dragon before Hannibal. Red dragon is a prequel and starts before Hannibal even meets clarice. Plus it’s a great movie. Hannibal is so so. I don’t hate it like others do but silence and red dragon are much better.
brooke atkins
2022-12-29 04:03:08 +0000 UTCThe Sum of All Fears has a lot of scary parallels to current world events. I love how they adapted the book.
Kuskesh Haramzadeh
2022-12-29 03:59:56 +0000 UTCSuperman or Lethal Weapon!
Pickupthepieces76
2022-12-29 03:59:44 +0000 UTCHannibal was a little interesting until the end. Oh my no.
gas667
2022-12-29 03:59:39 +0000 UTCNone of the above. But maybe Hannibal
Michael
2022-12-29 03:58:46 +0000 UTCI kind of want to see Cassie's reaction to Crystal Skull but clearly Superman and Lethal Weapon supercede that.
Jason Dolan
2022-12-29 03:58:44 +0000 UTCMaybe the Hannibal TV series. Otherwise, no.
