I agree. Okay Supes so just stand there for a bit while we get a 15 minute sequence of Nuclear Man destroying the city while standing right in front of you.

Davinci Code. I loved the book and thought the movie came out flat. Angels and Demons was better but it just seems that Tom Hanks wasn’t a good fit. And… I love Tom Hanks.[/quote]
Have to agree here, the main protagonist needed to be the modern day Indiana Jones, part scholar and part bad ass. Hanks is one of the best actors of our time in my opinion, however bad ass is not in the same sentence as Hanks.
Who would have been better? [/quote]
In Saving Private Ryan he was pretty badass.[/quote]
Not really to me in that film, I mean I can never look at Hanks and not think about Bosom Buddies, Big or Bachelor Party. Or yelling at a volley ball. [/quote]
Or Philadelphia

Van Helsing
The Highlander sequels (although there’s a strong argument that there shouldn’t have been any, given the “there can only be one” battlecry of the immortals)
Lethal Weapon 3 & 4 (Riggs changes from a mentally and emotionally unstable combat vet into a bit of a practical joker. He also loses his mullet, Sampson-like)
The Crow sequels ( what do you do when your leading man dies and you still turn out a decent movie? Flood the market with a series of increasingly pointless cash-ins that’s what).
[/quote]
I actually liked Van Helsing
The Hulk from 2003
Evolution
Street Fighter movies
House of the Dead
Dawn of the Dead
Speed Racer

It was a good concept, poorly executed. Far too much swinging around on ropes, etc. crashing through windows into the middle of a fight and giving the upper hand back to an ally who was just about to get their ass handed to them by one of Dracula’s brides.
Wicker Man was a decent movie, ending never struck me as awful.
Van Helsing was decent, great story line idea, could have been better I guess, but still an ok movie.

He was good in horrible bosses but he only had a minor role in that.[/quote]
What about phone booth!? I watched it when i was younger and thought it was a great film!

Weirdly, I don’t think it was lacking anything; the problem was that they threw too many ideas into the mix: I didn’t like the fact that the whole movie was tied together by Dracula feeling broody.
Giving Drac and Van Helsing a common origin was an interesting idea that should’ve been explored more. Even though Van Helsing did it first, Underworld: Evolution did a far better job of tying werewolves and vampires together.

Totally. Well, I did like Mark Wahlberg (I just like him anyway).
Although on some level it was entertaining (though forgettable days later), it never had that gritty sense of doom like the original. [/quote]
The ending killed it for me. They were never going to top ‘that’ ending, but the ending they came up with was neither a cliffhanger or a satisfying resolution. Tim Burton said there is an explanation for why it ended the way it did, but he’s never elaborated.
There is a great story attached to the film though: Michael Clarke Duncan sprained his ankle and was taken to hospital in full make up. The staff were horrified to see a gorilla being wheeled into hospital for treatment.
The reaction of the attending doctor was even more extreme when MCD started talking…

The story is that’s how the original novel ended the hero get’s to Earth and the apes have evolved into intelligent creatures, the novel also has a narrator you find out in the end is an ape as well.

The movie ending poses more questions than answers, while the book ending brings everything full-circle.
Has Wahlberg returned to Earth (but to the past, not his present) at the end? If so, and the apes have somehow beaten him there (which is a common theory) and staged a coup, why does contemporary America look unscathed (with the only changes being apes in uniform instead of humans and Thade-raham Lincoln?
If he has returned to the ape planet thousands of years after he left, how have the apes developed a society virtually identical to ours? Assuming they based their society on records from the crashed ship, why did they not do that by the time Wahlberg arrives (their armor shows they had started to develop a social identity distinct from ours)?
Too many loose ends left untied.

I think we all know the answer to that one.
