Yet another disappointing year movie wise. There have good movies out but you have be a super sleuth to find them or wait till they go to video and hopefully your local movie rental store or net flix has them.
The comic book movies- Superman, X-men 3.
Though many feel that X3 was a disappointment i found it a decent popcorn and soda flick. yeah it rearranged the comic storyline of the Phoenix and killed off two of the main characters but hey they also made Wolverine one of the first principle Xmen and turned Iceman and Angel into teens. So it was a decent flick.
All of fandom had Superman in it's cross hairs long before the movie came. One of the many mistakes they made was the costume which i think they should have done away with and also going back to the whole introduction of Superman. If you don't know superman's origins by now then you just don't need to know. It worked for Batman b/c no one, not even comics that much, has delved into the formative years of batman. They focus on the psychological twist that a fully grown Dark knight may or may not face.
I heard that Pirates was a yawn feast.
Descent looks good.
No one went to see A Scanner Darkly.
The Davinci code was panned by credits and by a lot of fans of the book but it made its money in the long run.
Miami Vice, had early rumblings of it being a flop, a big mess doomed but is doing good at the box office.
Little Man had its funny parts but i was dam pissed when i left the theater office.
Oh and Mission Impossible 3.
what can i say about the hype, i think that part of the summer movie season is actually better than some of the movies to tell the truth. From buzz and teaser trailers your mind creates stories that get you excited to see actualized. If it isn't better than that internal story you've developed then the film is for the most part doomed to fail.
Oh yeah FEARLESS, with Jet Li looks Killer. My mind is already at work building fight scenes and character sketches.

And the Phoenix.... wheeew, that was awesome! I wanted her to be powerful/unstoppable, and she was both.
