http://www.comingsoon.net Do you know what's coming? en-us There's some amount of cheating going on to try to make "Monsters University" work as a viable prequel, but ultimately it does work and much of that comes down to the fact that the genius pairing of Crystal and Goodman still works 12 years later. It's not Pixar's most innovative or clever movie by any means, but it ultimately delivers in terms of offering something to entertain everyone and the simplistic nature of story won't even remotely quell your kids' enjoyment. http://www.comingsoon.net/news/reviewsnews.php?id=105509 "Man of Steel" is a solid reboot of the Superman films. While it is a tad serious and has some pacing issues, the fantastic cast and mind-blowing action will impress both comic book fans and general audiences alike. http://www.comingsoon.net/news/reviewsnews.php?id=105151 There honestly is a lot to like about "Man of Steel." It looks great and is technically resplendent. Snyder has put together an excellent ensemble and when he bothers to use them, they shine. It's just a little too rushed to make room for too many action scenes which we are ultimately emotionally dislocated from due to the lack of developed story. It's not a bad start, but it could be better. On the optimistic side, there is a lot of room to get better and hopefully, with the start out of the way, the next try will be better yet. http://www.comingsoon.net/news/reviewsnews.php?id=105300 Easily one of the craziest movies you'll see this summer--certainly the craziest one released by a major studio--Rogen and Goldberg make an impressive directorial debut that offers more than enough laughs and entertainment value you have to give them more than a little credit for what they're able to pull off and get away with. http://www.comingsoon.net/news/reviewsnews.php?id=105350 "Now You See Me" seems far too clever to be a summer release and while it doesn't quite achieve the cleverness of "The Prestige"—nor does its ending deliver quite the same impact--those who enjoy fun heist movies should appreciate how unique this one is from others. http://www.comingsoon.net/news/reviewsnews.php?id=104947 Sure there's not much original here, that's sort of to be expected with these type of youth-oriented adventure films. But it's well done, with better than normal characterization and some occasionally excellent voice acting with little phoned in. And that can't always be expected. Like a dandelion thistle, "Epic" is light and fluffy and quickly lost in the breeze. http://www.comingsoon.net/news/reviewsnews.php?id=104702 Defying conventional wisdom, "Fast & Furious 6" shows the series isn't losing steam as it continues to feature spectacular action and a great cast. Plot holes and physics defying stunts are forgivable as it ends up being an action flick worth checking out in theaters. http://www.comingsoon.net/news/reviewsnews.php?id=104309 These movies are done. They are past done. Yes, "The Hangover" was a genuinely funny movie, but the warm feelings towards a well done piece of entertainment are not enough to make "Part III" anything more than rote. If your sense of humor is similar to Phillips', you will probably like it. Otherwise, it's just a slog, and hopefully one we never have to go through again. http://www.comingsoon.net/news/reviewsnews.php?id=104704 It's hard not to wonder if the reason Abrams is so big on secrecy in the first place is because he knows his mystery box is empty. This is a "Star Trek" film designed for audiences distracted by shiny objects. Die hard fans -- and the moviegoing public in genearl -- deserve better than this shameful franchise entry. http://www.comingsoon.net/news/reviewsnews.php?id=103724 There's no rule that a big summer movie should be any more than that, even if the filmmakers involved had managed that before. But it can't help but be a disappointment and that is what "Star Trek Into Darkness" is. Pretty and loud, but unimaginative and repetitive. Far from going where no one has gone before, this "Trek" is only interested in retreating along his old tracks. http://www.comingsoon.net/news/reviewsnews.php?id=104429
