You usually have 1 or 2 that are tails out. For quality control, they usually take one reel and rewind it, checking for defects before sending out the whole print.
I think it's caused more by the printing process. Reels are printed forward then backward by the high speed printer, so half the reels are "tails up" when they come off the printer. John Pytlak might chime in with more info on this, or you can do a search.

Eighteen thousand prints, worldwide. Worth missing for that alone.

Do a search. That is caused by bi-directional printers at Deluxe Toronto. This is the movie review forum and this sort of discussion will not be permitted here. This thread is only for telling us how awful you thought the movie was.

I thought it was good, not outstanding. It was entertaining and some of the effects were very cool. A few too many dramatic scenes in the middle seemed to drag on but it didn't feel like a long movie overall.

3 out of 5 stars but definitely not as good as Spidey 2

Not much else can be said, eveyones said everything they can about it. It wasn't great, it wasn't horrible. It was just an average movie. 2.5/5

Word-of-mouth is good on this, and I liked it OK (not as good as S-M2), but for "legs" it rates about a 1. I've never seen a movie drop to oblivion so fast. We had 6 people last night and 3 of them left half-way through - one guy said it was silly, and two teenagers probably went to smoke weed or something. Another week to go. Guess I'll rest-up for Pirates.

Just saw it via DMR at the Brenden Palms IMAX.

Meh. OK, but uneven and as stated above forgettable.

Only nits to pick with the presentation were a soft left edge and more on-screen dirt than I want to see - the field flattener auto timer looked like it had been turned off. The dirt just stayed there. Bleh.

Yawn. It might have been better if it had been about half an hour shorter.

Two thumbs _way_ down to Loews/AMC Boston Common for an extra-crappy presentation. Dirty print (complete with trailers for Pirates and Shrek still on it), flickering lamp, and about a dozen digital faults to very misaligned optical sound during the first reel. Two thumbs _way_ down to Deluxe; the print that I saw had a _ton_ of negative dirt on all reels.
