http://comingsoon.net Do you know what's coming? en-us Daring and uncompromisingly different from previous incarnations of Batman--both the movies and the comics--Christopher Nolan and his amazing cast haven't redefined the superhero genre as much as created an unforgettable piece of crime fiction within the context of that realm. http://comingsoon.net/news/reviewsnews.php?id=46667 "The Dark Knight" is one of those rare sequels that surpass its predecessor. Amazing performances by Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckhart, and an impressive ensemble cast make it not just a great comic book movie, but a great movie - period. But be ready for a test of endurance due to the long running time. http://comingsoon.net/news/reviewsnews.php?id=46856 All in all, though, these are fairly niggling complaints. "The Dark Knight" isn't perfect, but no film really is, or could be. Still, while someone, someday might make a better superhero movie, the bar has been set very, very high. "The Dark Knight" isn't just the best movie of the summer, it's the best movie of the year so far, and everything else is going to have to try very, very hard to top it. http://comingsoon.net/news/reviewsnews.php?id=47020 Maybe watching three older women prancing around in tight spandex singing ABBA is someone's idea of a good time, but I wouldn't want to be stuck in a room with those people for more than 90 minutes ever again. Mamma Mia, but this incessantly silly musical is hard to sit through! http://comingsoon.net/news/reviewsnews.php?id=46857 Yeah, it's all a little bit on the camp side. It's a musical based on the songs of ABBA. A little bit camp is probably the height of restraint. But considering how rare it is that Hollywood ever admits to the existence of anyone over 40, there actually is some good stuff to get out of "Mamma Mia!" You just have to sit through a lot of bad music to get to it. http://comingsoon.net/news/reviewsnews.php?id=47019 It's a bit of a disappointment unfortunately. A brilliantly created and beautifully looking one to be sure, but one that's ultimately less than the sum of its parts. http://comingsoon.net/news/reviewsnews.php?id=46796 This new take on a literary classic proves much more flash than substance, because once the wow-factor of the RealD 3D technology wears off viewers are left with a campy shell of an adventure film that in the end will likely play better to kids than adults. http://comingsoon.net/news/reviewsnews.php?id=46788 "Hancock" is a fantastic superhero movie… despite never having had a comic book. Will Smith is great as the misguided hero while Jason Bateman and Charlize Theron make an excellent supporting cast. It has some hilarious comedy, some great action, and a few surprises that fortunately haven't been ruined by the commercials and trailers. But keep the kiddies at home – this is a grown-up's comic book movie. http://comingsoon.net/news/reviewsnews.php?id=46284 It's not often that you find 'post-apocalyptic' and 'delightful' going together in the same sentence, but they're essential to describe the deceptively artful new film from Pixar, where everything, even the ruined remains of Earth, is proven to be beautiful from the right perspective and optimism grows like a small little vine that refuses to die. http://comingsoon.net/news/reviewsnews.php?id=46288 As hard as it might be for "Wanted" to break away from the "Fight Club in the Matrix" comparisons bandied upon the comic, it's the highest compliment to say that "Wanted" is the R-rated action movie we've all been waiting for and Wesley Gibson is the hero we all want to be. http://comingsoon.net/news/reviewsnews.php?id=46317
