But when attempts to make the film in the 80's and early 90's stalled, the usual legal gymnastics ensued, with Fox selling off partial rights of Watchmen to other interested companies (who ultimately went under), all with the understanding that Fox would still hold the exclusive right to distribute any Watchmen film, sequels or spin-offs (like „The Black Freighter“ tie-in) that got made down the line, unless an sizable buy-out fee was paid to the stu
I also liked the amount of collateral damage he caused at the beginning of the film and the real-world reactions to it. One of the things you learn as a comic book fan is that you probably wouldn't want to live in a city where they fight crime. They cause millions in damage every time the fight some supervill
While some were disappointed (myself included) that director Ridley Scott decided to drop a couple of unique concepts for the story from the final product (Russell Crowe playing both Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham, the sheriff as the good guy and Robin as the villain), this still looks like a great, reality-based update of the st
Synopsis: In this re-imagining of the classic 80s TV series, a group of Iraq War veterans looks to clear their name with the U.S. military, who suspect the four men of committing a crime they were framed
5. George Lucas may not be in everyone's good books - but I like the guy. Having said that, as a life long Star Wars fan I have no intention of going to see The Clone Wars . It's not due to the fact I hated the prequels (I didn't) I just don't like kids and I'm not a big fan of animat
Vic is a massive Trek fan so his number one choice is a given. His top three can easily shift around depending on what kind of marketing the three films get and it’s the top six in the list he really looks forward to – with the last four added to round off the top
The original Nightmare on Elm Street is a horror classic and we're all curious to see how this reboot/remake turns out. From what has been shown it seems like they may tone down the humor and dial up some of the more realistic aspects of the story. Really looking forward to Jackie Earle Haley's take on Freddy Krue
Last year could have been worse - 5 of our 10 most anticipated movies of 2009 turned out to live up to our expectations (including Watchmen, Up, and Star Trek ), while the other five ranged from mediocre ( Public Enemies ) to downright disappointing ( Terminator Salvation, Wolverine, Transformers 2 ). Of course „most anticipated“ does not necessarily mean „movies we think are going to be awesome“ - it's „movies we hope are going to be aweso
This year the task was made a lot easier thanks to our senior editor Kofi Outlaw putting together Screen Rant's 2010 movie preview , giving us a one-stop list from which to gather the biggies. While last year was a group effort, this year I've decided to pull rank and come up with the list myself, with some fine tuning help from editors Kofi and Rob Ke
The legal broo-ha-ha started back in February of this year, when Fox filed a copy infringement and breach of contract suit against studio Warner Bros., which owns the current version of Watchmen being helmed by director Zack Snyder ( 300 ). Fox's claim was that they had obtained the rights to Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' genre-shattering graphic novel, and all subsequent film endeavors related to it, between the years of 1986 and 1

Will Smith plays, of course, the title character: an apparently homeless alcoholic who just happens to have super-powers. When we meet him he's sleeping on a bench, cradling a bottle of whiskey - a young boy tries to wake him up because there's a freeway chase happening in which the bad guys are causing huge havoc and shooting at civilians indiscriminately. Hancock is none to eager to help, and the boy ends up calling him an A-hole, except not abbreviated. It's a term that is used over and over and over in the f
The problem with Hancock is that whenever he perpetrates his acts of „heroism,“ he causes mass collateral destruction, which is displayed in spades at the start of the film as he apprehends the carload of bad guys. I have to pause here and say that I thought that the flying scenes at the start of this movie were some of the best and most „real“ I've seen - very nicely done and if you're a superhero movie games patch notes|https://superheromoviespot.com/ movie fan you'll take not

The villain of the film comes out of nowhere, barely gets any screen time and just doesn't even seem like they're a part of the movie - so it was kind of non-sequiter. I won't get into spoilers, but considering what the villain knows about Hancock, how this person figured they'd be able to actually kill him is beyond
