Along with Dan Akroyd, he created one of my first obsessions, Ghostbusters. He wrote and directed some of the greatest comedies of our time. I still love Groundhog day. May Harold Ramis rest in peace, for whatever afterlife there is or isn't. He is missed

FFX ended as a cliff hanger to me. It made me sad that Yuna has to go through that in the end. I loved the song. Which is why I was excited when FFX-2 came out. I thought I'd finally be able to see the happy ending. But then the game sucked. Didn't even have the drive to finish the game, only for me to find out that you have to exert additional effort to get the greatest ending, which to me wasn't really that great an ending at all.

Topic Merged. It's the unfortunate side effect from being a reboot of something a lot of people consider a classic. As, even if you exclude the subtext of the movie, the original is still a fun, over the top 80's action flick. The new Robocop is something more along the lines of normal action movies today, and actually scored fairly well on rotten tomatoes for what it was. At 49% (88 positive to 92 negative) and an average rating of 5.5/10. It's exactly what is it. Average. Nothing special overall. A lot of people liked it. A lot of people did not. But it is a very mid-ling movie in that way, and really, a fitting movie for this time of year. I do know that some critics are completely biased, and some gave it a more negative of review than it deserved, due to nostalgia and their love of the original. But that's their prerogative, and it's up to the reader to decide if they agree or not. And unfortunately, it's reviews like that, which drive people away from actually seeing movies like this, as they tend to hold onto the same nostalgia for somethings. I mean, one of my favorite movie reviewers, MovieBob over at http://www.escapistmagazine.com/ had NOTHING good to say about it, at all. But I KNEW he was going to do that, as he noted in other videos that he wasn't looking forward to it, and outright saying it was going to be garbage and not compete with the original. I am disappointed that his personal bias overpowered his professionalism, but that's life. If I actually had to grade it, I'd probably put it somewhere around 6/10 or 6.5/10. I enjoyed a lot of it, and liked the mechanical designs, but it certainly was not a blockbuster by any means.
