 Hancock is not the generic superhero film and is probably one of the more ingenious ideas to come across a producer’s desk in quite some time.

What it seems like is that the writers of the film loved the idea, started off extremely strong, and then began to realize that how hard it is to sustain a simplistic idea over the course of a full length motion picture (and it is because of this that Hancock is relatively short).

The lack of a central villain also hurts the movie a lot.

This is an action movie, so it should come as no surprise to see well done and original action in the movie. However, I felt the effects could have used a few more weeks of polishing in the editing room.

John Hancock (Will Smith) is an unhappy and reluctant superhero who is living in his own world.

For some unknown reason, Hancock is depressed and has started drinking very heavily.

He has saved many lives in Los Angeles over the years, but in doing so, he has no regards for damaging buildings, trains, roads, cars, or anything that gets in his way of getting the job done.

First off, it was nice to see a film where the director had complete creative control to execute his vision.

This film does not suffer the fate of marketers or no talent Hollywood producers who think they are artist or visionaries.

If you liked Cinema Paradiso and the Princess Bride then you will also love this film.

Tarsem’s lavish imagery and fantastic locations create the atmosphere for an epic adventure, while the acting of Lee Pace, Justine Waddell and especially, Cantinca Untaru provide the drama and laughter.

The plot full of adventure revolves around small girl who lies injured in a hospital and is being told 5 different stories by former stuntman.

Los Angeles, circa 1920’s, a little immigrant girl (Catinca Untaru) finds herself in a hospital recovering from a fall.

She strikes up a friendship with a bedridden man (Lee Pace) who captivates her with a whimsical story that removes her far from the hospital doldrums into the exotic landscapes of her imagination.

As you’ve no doubt guessed, it was created with children as the intended audience.

There are several lines that are cringe-worthy for the older crowd.

There are a few plot elements, too, that are completely pointless.

On the flip side, this film ventures into classic Star Wars territory.

Oddly enough, at times the dialogue and overall storytelling felt very old school.

Then, in the very next “screen wipe”, you get prequel-equivalent scenes.

You’ll encounter some familiar creatures/characters, as well as locales that will evoke a smile. And even though much of the humor is directed toward children, a large chunk of it is also aimed at older fans.

The heroic Jedi Knights struggle to maintain order and restore peace.

More and more systems are falling prey to the forces of the dark side as the Galactic Republic slips further and further under the sway of the Separatists and their never-ending droid army.

Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan learner Ahsoka Tano find themselves on a mission with far-reaching consequences, one that brings them face-to-face with crime lord Jabba the Hutt.

But Count Dooku and his sinister agents, including the nefarious Asajj Ventress, will stop at nothing to ensure that Anakin and Ahsoka fail at their quest.

I was completely blown away!

This isn’t just the best Batman movie ever made, this is one of the best movie ever made.

Everything in this film is excellent, not one piece of annoyance.

Bale marvels as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Ledger has made The Joker in to an iconic movie villain.

His performance belongs there at the top with Hopkins Lecter.

The Joker has finally been portrait properly on film, he has earned his place between the big boys in movie villandom.

This is the true Joker every Batman fan knows, loves and fears.

Ledger deserves any and every movie award known to man for this brilliant display.

Nolan has made his “I will always be remembered” movie, this is the crownjewel in his portfolio. Perfect directing, perfect story, perfect balance between action and drama, everything is perfect.

Even if you hate Batman, you will love this film.

If you don’t, then something beez wrongz with youz!

Batman and James Gordon join forces with Gotham’s new District Attorney, Harvey Dent, to take on a psychotic bank robber known as The Joker, whilst other forces plot against them, and Joker’s crimes grow more and more deadly.

Yes mulder and Scully are back…

They’ve left aliens and UFO’s back in the basement!

This is a fresh spin on what we loved about the series with some new dark undertones, that make’s us question what we believe is faith, God and the notion of redemption.

The film itself is less action driven/CGI heavy than the first one, which i liked only because it allowed us to understand and follow our favorite duo, investigating and expanding their relationship, to greater horizons.

The performance of both David and also Gillian are compelling and dramatic, making us feel for them as they carry baggage from the choices they have made.

The supernatural thriller is a stand-alone story in the tradition of some of the show’s most acclaimed and beloved episodes, and takes the always-complicated relationship between Fox Mulder (Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Anderson) in unexpected directions.

Mulder continues his unshakable quest for the truth, and Scully, the passionate, ferociously intelligent physician, remains inextricably tied to Mulder’s pursuits.

The storyline is okay, but the action is really what this movie is all about.

The scenes when they go underground can get repetitive, and somewhat confusing.

It does drag a little bit underground.

There is action in between though, along with some stuff that would never happen (I know its action/fantasy) but it took me out of the movie a few times, thinking “oh really, that just happened..”.

Anyway, it’s got a lot of violence, gore and shooting.

Cool looking mutants, bombs, etc.

For an action movie, not bad, but could have been way better.

I personally really like the Mummy series for its epic action, sense of humor and great special effects.

I was delighted when I started seeing teasers for this sequel to be shown in July, mostly because it was quite unexpected.

This movie has all the required elements of epic action, sense of humor and great special effects.

Of course there is still the swashbuckling hero Rick O’Connell played in grand style by Brendan Fraser.

He undoubtedly has this action-comedy genre sewn up right in his alley.

John Hannah is still around playing his brother-in-law, Jonathan, in his old annoying manner.

Rick is joined in this all-new adventure by son Alex, wife Evelyn and her brother, Jonathan.

And this time, the O’Connells must stop a mummy awoken from a 2,000-year-old curse who threatens to plunge the world into his merciless, unending service.

This is an action movie, so it should come as no surprise to see well done and original action in the movie.

However, I felt the effects could have used a few more weeks of polishing in the editing room.

The camera is also quite crampy.

The action scenes, while entertaining and original, were not long enough to engage the audience like say, The Incredible Hulk, nor were they as jaw dropping as those in Wanted.

A hard-living superhero who has fallen out of favor with the public enters into a questionable relationship with the wife of the public relations professional who’s trying to repair his image.
