I tried to watch it a month or so ago but had to turn it off because it was so dull.

Ridley Scott is trying to bring the classic board game Monopoly to the big screen. He plans to give it a more futuristic edge ala Blade Runner. I'm actually a little curious as to how thats going to work out.
Michael Bay is making a Ouija Board movie?
And there is a movie version of the game Battleship currently in development.
These movies better not just be 2 hours of people playing board games.

That may be better than some of these movies.

Being the optimist that I am, all three could be really cool if done correctly. On the flip side, being the pessimist that I am, all three will probably suck real bad.

Michael Bay has not a single piece of talent in his whole body. It is safe to say Ouija will suck a whole lot. Ridley Scott seems to have past his prime but I think Monopoly has the best shot at being decent. The Battleship movie will likely be done by a no talent studio puppet director so it will probably be a ****** U571 type movie. I have no faith in that one either. I think all three will be varying degrees of bad.

1. Monopoly
2. Battleship
3. Ouija
(1 = bad; 2 = intolerable; 3 = epic fail)

That list makes complete sense. I think Ouija will be hilariously bad. I just don't think there is any way Michael Bay can put explosions in the movie which is really the only thing he is semi talented at doing as a director and even then explosions are not enough to save his movies from major suckage.

Ouija might rival Quarantine for most comedic thriller to be recently released. I would be willing to put money on the fact that Ouija will be filled with unnecessary explosions, simply for the sake of things to blow up.

Ouija movie will likely be a ****** horror film about spirits entering the world through the Ouija board

Michael Bay just might decide to do a very Ghostbusters esque movie. He could have a team of people who can only communicate with ghosts through the Ouija board. When the ghosts turn hostile the use the Ouija board to find one ghost who can help save the planet. With the help of that ghost they blow a bunch of **** up and manage to save the day just in time.

Then as Megan Fox strips naked to save the world, her efforts prove to be late as the Ouija board from hell blows up ending the world as we know it
