WaterMan Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 (edited) Once again we see yet another filmed bashed by the only true elitists, the critics. Came out July 2nd and has almost made as much as Wall-e, despite being bashed all over the place. Edited July 6, 2008 by WaterMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billay Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Just saw it. While I wasn't overly impressed, I was entertained. I think the main reason that the movie has received so much criticism is that it had so much potential to be a more significant movie than it was. As it is, it's sheer popcorn.

AtomicCEO Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 It looked kinda interesting. I just think Will Smith is a little played out at this point. He doesn't choose his projects very carefully, and I basically assume that any movie he's in is going to be a mind numbing explosion-fest with sub-Arnold one liners.

Holiday weekend, Will Smith, big budget movie and it does about the same as Wall-E on a non holliday, non-franchised film. Critics or not, it's a disappointment at best And once word of mouth gets around (assuming many people didn't like it), it will probably be considered a moderate hit, but underperforming, at best. I have not seen it and I try to see most summer blockbusters. I may see it, but it's a distant 2nd to Hellboy 2 and The Dark Knight on my viewing list.

SheikYerbuti Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I only read movie reviews after seeing a film, and usually disagree with every word of them. So, as far as I'm concerned they can write whatever they want. Oh, and I'm waiting for Hancock to hit the small screen. I think Dark Knight is the only movie left this summer that I'd leave the house for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimC Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Yep, nothing more worthless than elitist movie critics. However, I saw Hancock. Meh, wait for the DVD or pay $3.99 for Pay Per View. Pure popcorn movie that went completely downhill once the girl superhero was introduced. I thought it was good up until then, but her having the same powers killed it IMO.

WaterMan Posted July 7, 2008 Author Share Posted July 7, 2008 ^ That's what comics are like. If you didn't see that coming, then you don't see many different plots besides the movie ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piles Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I didn't read anything that the critics said about it but the movie sucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may see it, but it's a distant 2nd to Hellboy 2 and The Dark Knight on my viewing list. +1 I'm also probbaly going to see the new Mummy flick with Brendan Fraser and maybe Journey To The Center Of The Earth as well. Mindless entertainment and popcorn---that's my mantra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was good up until then, but her having the same powers killed it IMO. This is also the moment when the movie shifts away from the action comedy to more of drama/action... It felt like they lost focus, and everyone that I've talked to that has seen this movie at this part... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REZ Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Haven't been to the movies in forever and actually got out this past weekend and saw 4. Liked the Incredible Hulk best of them and then Get Smart Wanted and Hancock were eh.....I really like Will Smith but this movie veered off course about 1/2 way through.
