    See all of the movies? I only saw the first movie which I remember quite well. I don't really remember the second at all and I skipped on the third. Just wondering how much from each of the movies this game will pull from the most.

    They are good movies.  You should watch them anyway.

    You should definitely watch them. Judging from the Quick Look, there are a good number of references to all three movies, so you'll be missing out.  
     
    Plus, they're good movies.

    I didn't, just read the wiki. 
    EDIT: Though I'm sure I missed out on some jokes because of it.

    It was meh compared to the other two. I really didn't like it, but on its own it's okay.

    Last one was meh, but for something that was advertised in the second film, its a surprisingly good fallow up. Worst scenario, you hate it, but you gave it a try and now you'll get the references better.

    Um no. In fact there are a growing constituency of people who are realizing it is in fact the second movie that is the most meh. Yeah I know, hover board. But you gotta look at everything else.

    People who don't wish to play the game should also watch them. They're good films.

    @Afroman269: The game takes place after all 3 movies, so you might want to watch them.

    I bought the game, but I'm not playing it until I watch through all the movies. It's been awhile and I don't even own them. If I don't find a box set to buy, then Netflix it is.

    @Afroman269: I don't think you're going to properly appreciate the story in the game until you watch all 3 movies. I guess you can probably infer enough regardless (its been ages since I've seen them and I can still follow along), but in a story driven title, why would you want to not try to understand everything that's going on?

    I don't think I have ever seen any of the movies straight through, maybe when I was 10 or something but only for an hour or so

    Absolutely. There are a lot of little winks and nods that will go over your head otherwise.

    The 1st movie rocks. the 2nd is good the 3rd is ok. But they are FUN movies either way. I still love watching them, I probably watch all 3 once a year or so. I would suggest watching them just for fun, and there will be a couple jokes that you will get in the game.
