I thought Cruise was pretty good in Eyes Wide Shut.... other then that, you guys are right as far as his range of characters goes.

Is anyone else getting a bit tired of comic book adaptions. Can't hollwood get a bit creative? We got the fantastic four coming next. I'll remember to miss that one just like I missed Batman Superman et all. The only one I went to see was Judge Dredd many moons ago and they murdered that completely. Comic book films? nein danke.

True, most comic-book adaptations suck, but there are a few that are worth seeing.

They've certainly improved on the genre. Remember Swamp Thing?

This summer:

Dukes of Hazzard
Bewitched
Herbie the Love Bug
The Longest Yard
War of the Worlds
Fantastic Four
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Bad News Bears

What do all these have in common?

They're all either remakes or cinematic versions of television shows (or cartoons).

That or they could all be improved by having Jessica Simpson in the cast.

I'd take Alba over Simpson any day.

Wasn't very happy when first seeing the announcement for Bad News Bears remake, but I think casting Thornton in Matthau's role was a good idea. Still, doubt I'll see it until it hits video.

Shame isn't it Nash.

Has all their creativity disappeared?

My wife and son and I went to see BATMAN a couple weeks ago. We all agreed it was the best one, yet. Thought it was a very believable scenario for the genisis of the Batman story. 3

I saw it with my GF and her 2 teenage boys.

The guys liked it.... the female thought it was too long lol

I gotta agree that it's the best one yet. the characters and actors were first rate... hmmm didn't care for Gary Olmans character too much and I usually like him.

But I had a smile on my face through the whole thing too......

Y'know what I remember most about the old Batman TV series? That it replaced my favorite show at the time: Combat, with Rick Jason and Vic Morrow. That's the most p'd off I've ever been at the TV scheduling, in my life. To have cancelled a show like Combat and replace it with, what I thought at the time, a dumb show like Batman.

"Sock-o!...Poweee!...Kaa-Powww!" sheesh!:rolleyes:

Saw it, I have to say it is one of the only movies I have seen in awhile, that I walked away from it with no complaints. The hallucination scenes were trippy to say the least. And what a great way to tie in a sequel/end the movie.
