Vanila Sky.

Started off cool. But the movie went way off the map when Tom Cruise wrecked his mustang.

Still a fan of Cameron Crowe.

Wall-E

Once they brought in the fat people on hover crafts into the picture it went off the reservation.

Great opening with the soldiers at boot camp. Then it turned into shite.

I've never understood why people don't like the 2nd part of FMJ. I've read it enough to know that I am in the minority in that I love the whole movie. I mean, they couldn't stay in boot camp the entire movie could they?

Same movie.

And I agree. Both were still pretty good though (EH was much better than Sunshine IMO though).

Agreed. If the movie was somehow in reverse order, people would have loved it. I personally always liked the "war" part of the movie. It's pretty intense. It's just that the boot camp half is SO good that basically any second half would have paled in comparison.
