But I liked Cowboys & Aliens!

I didn't see it, but I want to.  I'm sure it's not that bad.

Its kinda average. I'd give it a rent if i were you.

It was alright to see Han Solo teaming up with James Bond, though I really didn't like 13's background, trust me, a scene was just s**tted out, you'll know soon enough.

I think the best part of the article is his honesty. Though, whether his honesty will win any plaudits in Hollywood, especially from the talent associated with the films he mentioned is doubtful.

I'd also like to know why he thinks the films he named are the s****y ones. I can think of alot of films made by Universal Studios that are far more s****y (IMHO) than the ones he named.

As for "Babe 2," which I admit I have never seen, I don't think at the time it was released, it was regarded so much as being s****y. but as a film not living up to its potential at the boxoffice. And I think there were two reasons for that. It was regarded as being a much darker film that the original "Babe," which people were not expecting. And (2) it was a product of bad timing. It was apparently released at the same time as a Disney Studio animated extravaganza, which is a no-no, when it comes to releasing a film for the family audience you want to attract to the film.

And I think Walt Disney, who was of course dead by then, did have something to say about it, when he talked about his sequels to the "3 Little Pigs." "You cannot top pigs with pigs." And while "Babe" was both unique and original, by the time its sequel came out, the concept was much less unique and original.
