I’m way late on this, it’s admittedly a minor derail, and haven’t read the entire thread so it might have been answered, but it was the first Ron Perlman Hellboy.

I want to upgrade to Dolby Atmos because I haven't given my wife enough reasons to kill me yet.

Took my almost 4-year-old daughter to see it. She enjoyed the visuals but wasn't able to grasp what was actually going on as easily as Frozen a couple months ago. I was blown away. Apart from being genuinely non-stop hilarious the dichotomy between the instruction followers and the creatives was...

It depends on the age. I don't think, say, a 10-year-old needs to be protected from a downer ending, but younger kids? Sure. I certainly wouldn't want to explain the ending of Where the Red Fern Grows to my 3-year-old ("well sweetheart that bobcat gave the dog such big ouchies that he died, and...

That's certainly not inaccurate, although there are certainly more charitable interpretations as well. Frozen's apparently getting fantastic word-of-mouth with an A+ Cinemascore rating. So it may be that when people show up, even if it's not what the marketing made it out to be, still something...

Get a Horse was terrific. I don't want to say too much since it has a pretty neat secret, but it was really enjoyable. They clearly spent a ton of time studying the classic Mickey Mouse shorts and to my amateur eyes nailed it. The slight jerkiness in the animation from not quite enough frames...

Princess and the Frog did that. Tiana ended up a princess, but almost by default. It certainly wasn't something she aspired to.

I took my 3-year-old to see Frozen Wednesday night and today took my wife and 14-month-old. I only got to rewatch the first half since the baby decided not to cooperate and even at a Disney movie etiquette does put a limit on how distracting they can be, but what I saw definitely reinforced my...

Movies are a business, and ultimately they need to make money. Star Trek at the theater was a sinking ship before 2009, peaking with First Contact wit a substantial fall-off with Insurrection before Nemesis flat-out bombed. Only Voyage Home way back in 1986 crossed the $100 million mark at the...

It was missing THE theme. I know, I know, not happening, but still John Williams' music is indelibly associated with Superman on the big screen. That's the only fault I can find with the trailer. It hit every note dead on, and it seems to directly go against everything wrong with Superman...

I liked it, but wanted to love it and just couldn't, and that hasn't changed with [many] repeat viewings. Tangled and Princess and the Frog both really grew on me the more times I saw them (thanks Michelle!). The former I still think struggles out the gate until after the scene at the Snuggly...

Somme information is starting to float around about a potential sequel. One potential the director is exploring is other Ralph titles showing up, and in particular other entries. It's clearly inspired by Toy Story 2 (which the director freely acknowledges), but the video game nature of the movie...

Shame there's no way to just get the original. I have no desire for Mulan II whatsoever.

New Trailer Looking good. Hopefully they manage to play up the stakes without simply rehashing the previous movie. The fact that the opponent isn't an Evil Iron Man is a really good start though.

The scarier part to me is John Williams. I haven't heard anything in particular about him, but the guy's 80 and a new trilogy is probably nearly a decade's worth of work. Is he still going to be up to scoring and conducting the LSO through three more movies? Edit: Wow I made a lot of typos in...

What I really want to know is this: now that the same man is helming Star Trek and Star Wars, can he finally answer for us the eternal question: Who would in in a fight, the Enterprise or a Star Destroyer?

The Mandarin. And he seems to be directly answering joshEH's question, albeit with attack helicopters instead of a nuke.

Reading the review it sounds like they're claiming it was the first movie to integrate hand-drawn animation and CGI within a scene, not the first movie to use CGI in any sense. Have fond memories of our VHS copy as a kid, I'll probably pick this up. Besides, the more Disney I get the more...

Wonder what it would have been without the Olympics. Huge Friday-Friday drop, but a relatively far less severe overall weekend drop says Sat and Sun were far kinder. Might want to give a bit more time before nailing down the predictions.

I hear the classic Bond theme, the trailer references class as opposed to unfocused killing, and there are [literally] steamy sex scenes. We can work with this.

I like serious up to a point, but I think I prefer "respectful." To me Superman works best played completely straight and with a fair amount of optimism attached to him. He has his struggles, but he also has understanding of what he means to humanity. The trailer gets into this as well, with...

I can only imagine that the catastrophe in Denver put a significant damper on things.

A little ostentatious, don't you think?

How the hell did Disney arrange for all those characters? Off the top of my head I saw Namco (PacMan Ghost), Nintendo (Boswer), Sony (Dr. Robotnik), and Capcom (Zangief, M. Bison) and I'm sure there were a few I didn't recognize.

Watched this tonight and mostly agree with the rest, although I'm a bit higher on the movie than some. I'd say a big part of the reason Holmes is so reactionary in this movie instead of proactive like in the first is simply because he's up against a better opponent who's half a step ahead until...

Agreed that it was a perfect teaser. Had a huge stupid grin on my face the entire time. Gave glimpses and hints of the bigger picture without overly spoiling things, and also tied things in with the LotR movies. It even did both of those together by mostly using LotR locations that we were...

I definitely agree. Fellowship's EE I pretty much find to be top-to-bottom better than the TE. Two Towers is a bit more mixed. The EE gives the film some much-needed breathing room and a chance to relax the otherwise breakneck pace, as well as fleshing out some of the characters, but it's...

I'm just glad that they're getting away from the villain being another iron suit. If there's a weakness in the current slate of Marvel movies it's their tendency for the main bad guy to simply be an evil version of the hero (Spidey 3, Iron Man 1&2, The Incredible Hulk all suffered from this...

Changing things up doesn't make them better, but slavish adaptations aren't very good ideas either. I haven't yet played Uncharted 2 (I keep meaning to and keep having another game jump in front of it), but the first game was very much paced for a video game. Major plot reveals, the exploration...

Looks like this piece of crap is going nowhere any time soon. http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118037657 Sounds like Sony told Russell that what he was proposing wasn't Uncharted in any way, shape, or form and refused to let it go forward.
