"The third part in Universal’s rebooted Mummy franchise takes the series in a new direction. Rather than set in Egypt and dealing again with the same old villain, Imhotep, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor brings us to China and gives us a different sort of preserved corpse baddie. And it looks like the change could actually add some freshness to the franchise. Of course, history would hint that such a move for the Mummy movies is a bad idea. While it seems beneficial in theory to redirect the focus of a series with the third installment, especially if the first sequel was too much a repetition of the original (a la The Mummy Returns), in practice many threequels mistakenly alter things for the worse. These aren’t necessarily the worst threequels ever made (*cough*

"I’ve been on the fence about Hancock from the beginning. Sure, it’s a Will Smith blockbuster and it co-stars Jason Bateman, both typically prime selling points for me, but it also seems a bit one-note and silly. Upon first hearing about the concept of a drunken has-been superhero, I immediately thought about drunken Superman in Superman III. After seeing the teaser trailer, I felt the exaggerated special effects (including the rather funny whale toss) were a little too over the top. Now comes a full trailer (Quicktime version here) that reveals a lot more action and a lot more plot points. The former seems to have everyone on the Internet suddenly more excited about the movie. But what about those new story reveals? Aside from the usual problem of giving too much "

"The first line of my review of Full Frontal said that the film was "so bad it's hard to beleive." I wish I had saved that for this movie. The idea is so wrong it never, ever should have got past a story treatment somebody should have thrown in the garbage can. Okay, it does make sense on a basic level that for the third Superman film they would want to go for a lighter tone, as the first couple films were so serious and "big". But the way they did went horribly wrong. I can see the meeting between the producers and the studio execs. "Hey, Richard Pryor is really popular, and Superman is really popular. If we just put them in the same film, it's be really, really popular!" No, it just means the movie fails twice. It's not a good comic vehicle for Pyror, and it's not a good Superman movie. The scenes with Pryor fail because the comedians best matieral involves social satire, this film gives him only slapstick. The Superman scenes fail beacuse Richard Lester adopts such a cam ... "

"I’d like to still say that I’ll watch Will Smith in anything, but as I still haven’t gotten around to seeing I Am Legend (and because of friends’ responses, I may not anytime soon), such a statement would be egregious. Besides, after watching the new tweaked trailer for Hancock??(courtesy of Chris at Movie Marketing Madness, who points out that it’s pretty much the same as the first Hancock trailer), Smith’s summer blockbuster for 2008 , I don’t know if I’m going to see that one either. As if there aren’t enough worthy comic books to adapt, Hollywood has been giving us way too many gimmicky superhero movies — superheroes in a high school! superhero who’s your ex-girlfriend! superhero who has fallen out of favor and drinks his life away! — and??the superhero concept has??become the easiest pitch since that whole Die Hard in a ____ "
