[Charles Lindsey]

Briiliant! A pissed off superhero. I was dying laughing when I saw the trailer.

And it's Will Smith.

It looks like rubbish. Summer 2008? Its going to die - horribly - against the likes of HellBoy II, The Dark Knight et al.

I smell another Wild Wild West epic disaster.

A better trailer. Way cool.

Wild Wild West. 'nuff said.

I Agree, The plot sounds freakin' retarded to me.

If I want to see people in rehab. I would watch a show about people in rehab.

I honestly don't think so. Wild Wild West had a reputation to live up to (albeit shaky as in campy cheesy show) but this is new. We've had (mentally) tortured superheroes before (Batman, Wolverine). We've had superheroes with angst (teen angst; Spiderman) but we haven't had a totally depraved superhero. That is just too funny!!! (To me! )

A depraved superhero. Do you get the inherent joke?

I can't make the unenthusiastic desire to see it but I hope you will be pleasanty surprised if you do see it.

When I see it and if it IS a Wild Wild West disaster I will be bitterly disappointed and let you guys know.

Sturryz:

So far as the plot goes it is bad (errrrm, well intentioned but bumbling and depraved) guy does good. Where have we seen that? Pitch Black (wherein bad and depraved, but not bumbling, guy does good) maybe? Same old same old. It's the storytelling. Hope you enjoy the movie.

I hope I do too; I'm looking forward to it.

Wild.Wild.West.

Wild.Wild.West.

Oh come on

You dont know if its gonna be like that.

The world wants comedy these days, so its gonna be a big hit, not to mention it has a superhero in it.....

[Charles Lindsey]

Wild.Wild.West.

LOL!!!!! OK!! Ok. <catches breath> I cry uncle.

Starts July 2nd

[Sturryz]

We will have to wait and see I guess...

[teknocack]

I am understandably curious. If nothing else, the effects should be good. That's the only thing that made FF4 bearable. This looks like the story will be more interesting.

[Charles Lindsey]

Uh oh. Just saw a trailer where he woke up in a hospital and was "like this".

Scoured through Yahoo! trailers and he's been like this for 80 years.

SC; I hate you.

[Supreme Cmdr]

Yep, I knew this one was a bomb. So who's going to see it first.

Quoted from a Rotten Tomatos review:

There's a good chance Hancock will still rake in the cash over the next few weeks solely because of Smith's marketability, but as a whole the film is his most deplorable project since 1999's Wild Wild West.

[Charles Lindsey]

I've already seen it. It's watchable. I can reply here or start a proper movie thread. Depends on how many spoilers you want. This forum is very good at not giving spoilers but this time might be an exception.

[Supreme Cmdr]

Create a new movie thread. If you're going to post spoilers, embed the text inside UBB or HTML code with the color tag. Set the color to White so that you can only see the text if you highlighted it.

i gave it a 5 out of 10.

the first half of the movie is a 5, the rest is a 0.

so even if the second half got 3 points it'd been nice.
