HawkMan Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Nothing new here, maybe a bit more similar than before. but it's happened every year several times a year. Armageddon and that other meteor movie who's only saving grace was seeing Paris destroyed :p The two volcano movies the crappy one and the more fantasy fiction one with the volcano in LA or something. in fact this year there's also not one, but THREE Hansel and Gretel movies, last year there was two Snow White movies...

Dinggus Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I think the movies have to come out the same year to be similar, lol. Bugs Life and Antz, that one confused me, I kept mixing up the characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LUTZIFER Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Any movies I've seen that were basically the same, and at least 2 were mentioned here, one is always the "Hollywood blockbuster" and the other is the "made for tv" version. The "made for tv" versions are usually fairly low budget, and don't have popular movie stars in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrA Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Don't forget Transformers and Transmorphers. haha I don't think that one works. IIRC, Transmorphers was more like Terminator than Transformers. Then again, it's been a while since I watched it. P.S. The Asylum movies are awesome-ly crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
