Nah, I think I'll just watch the trailer again?

Not your typical superhero movie... and sadly not a good one either. I would have preferred this stuck to the "offbeat Superman" storyline. Everyone I've spoken to would have been much more pleased by a Will Smith-esk retelling of the Superman story. Great premise, perfect casting, poor direction.

Hancock decided to take a different route, one that was highly disappointing. You might even audibly groan as you start to realize what's going on and see Hancock's potential slipping through your fingers.

Analysis:
It took me about 20 minutes to really start enjoying this movie, because every singe scene had already been highlighted in the trailer. Every. single. scene. Once it got to fresh material the movie really took off and I enjoyed it immensely.
I adored the "Superman" parallel Hancock, that was fantastic. From Ray's pushing for "good job," to helping out the police, to the soundtrack (!), the Superman connections were hilarious and heartwarming.
Once that was over, the film took a dive into a confusing plot full of unanswered questions (or just gaping holes.) You might just find yourself thinking "didn't Highlander already try something like this???"
Yes. they did.

This is what I would've like to see happening:
Continue with the Superman parallels and pull up something similar to Superman II. Have Hancock be an alien from another planet, who has to discover his potential as crimefighter-whatever. Then once he's lulled into thinking his job is easy, three others like him show up and decide to take over Earth. Suddenly Hancock has to become the protector of Humanity against his own kind.
-sounds a lot better to me.

An good Superhero film that more or less wets your appetite in regards to the most interesting origin story in comic book history. There's no attempt at mystery here, it just tells the story. Beginning to end. Sometimes rather quickly, too. I still think that the first 30 seconds of the very first Wolverine Trailer was the coolest bit of Wolverine ever produced on screen. I wish the movie made me feel the way that trailer did.
My main beef with Origins: Wolverine is just too short. This is the story we've wanted to see since childhood, when we saw Wolverine's claws come out and discovered Logan can't remember his past. There's enough worthy material here for several movies, but Origin clips through some of the most interesting and previously mysterious bits in about 45 minutes. With films like The Dark Knight reaching an epic 2:45, how is a meager 1:45 of Wolverine going to satisfy our appetite?
The team of mutants is full of interesting and fascinating characters, but these guys are hardly introduced before Wolverine takes off to do something else. It basically gives you just enough to make a good or bad first impression, because you'll need that impression later so you know when to cheer or remorse when they die. This doesn't ruin the film, was just a slight disappointment. Don't get too excited about Gambit either, he was terribly underused.
Alright, enough ripping on it. I liked Wolverine, I really did. It had great action, good story, and terrific casting: Hugh Jackman was born to play Wolverine. Liev Schreiber was a great Sabertooth, couldn't asked for a better portrayal.
My feelings on the movie are summed up by a comment made to Wolverine towards the end: "when you said you were gonna kill everybody, I thought you were just exaggerating." -Really? Cause I'm pretty sure Wolverine only killed *one* person after saying that. I'm not asking too much, am I? Just give me what you promise? Trailers promised "Finally the origin of Wolverine" and we got "cool, slightly rushed, but entertaining backstory." Just like when we hear a claim like "I'm gonna kill everybody," I'd like to see Wolverine just kick all kinds of butt in an epic climax. Oh well, a psuedo-epic climax works fine.
To sum it up:
A great movie that returns honor to the X-Men name. It tells the story we've always wanted to know, though sometimes falling short of our imagination.

"While Watchmen is still as rich, daring, and intelligent an action film as there's ever been, it also proves Moore absolutely right [that Watchmen is inherently unfilmable]. As a comic book, Watchmen is an extraordinary thing. As a movie, it's just another movie, awash with sound and fury."

I can't quite sum up all my thoughts of this, so I'll divide this up into sections:
Prevailing thought: Good movie, but the Graphic Novel is better. Get your hands on it.
Beautiful visuals, sweeping story, a very good adaptation to the big screen for one of the most beloved Graphic Novels of all time. Everything was handled well, though some things better than others, and the end result was a great film. Dark, depraved, yet somehow heroic, this critique of the Superhero finally hit the big screen. Congrats everyone.

CONTENT NOTE: I was blown away by how *intense* the adult material in Watchmen was handled. The book has violence, sex, and depravity, it needs to be there to tell the story. But wow. Think 300 without the swords, bone crunching instead of blood spraying. Not to mention that Dr. Manhattan (big blue guy) spends most of the movie nude, and the camera doesn't always shoot to obscure his reproductive organs. This is done to show how Dr. Manhattan has lost touch with his humanity, and not in a sexual way whatsoever. However, he is still naked. But also blue. Something about him being blue is somehow less offensive to the senses. It's kind of like a big, blue, Michelangelo's David statue walking around. Though considering the amount of violence, crime, depravity, a near rape, and one very intense sex-scene, the occasional naked blue man isn't so bad. Definitely a film for adults.

The action was intense and really drew me into the movie. You're not quite sure who to root for sometimes, but then the punches start flying and I'm all "YEAH!" Although, some moments that I had devoted very high emotion to in the comic, (the opening murder of the Comedian, the funeral, a particular segment on the planet Mars,) had very touching memories for me. To see them interpreted in a different way left me saying "eh, I prefer my own imagination, thanks."
That's kind of how I felt about the soundtrack too. I loved it, great choice of songs, very cool. But the first viewing of Watchmen left me a little jarred, hearing stuff like Simon & Garfunkle or Ride of the Valkyries. Thinking "hey, I know this song!" drew me out of the movie rather than brought me deeper into it. May be solved with multiple viewings.
Character development felt a bit rushed, especially Laurie. Laurie always seemed the most 2-dimensional of the otherwise complicated Watchmen cast. But wow, scrunching the character interaction into a 2.5hr movie really didn't go so hot for the Silk Spectre's dialog. Oh well, just more appreciation for the Graphic Novel I guess. Several things in general were just different than I had imagined them, which made it slightly less enjoyable for me personally. But hey, everyone reads differently, right?
Now to stop complaining and actually convince you that I liked it: I really liked Rorschach, Nite Owl, and the Comedian. Dr. Manhattan was probably handled about as well as one could film a super-complicated character like him. (existing in multiple times? How do you portray that in a movie!?) And Laurie had her butt-kicking moments too. Rorschach, one of the top comic characters of all time, was handled brilliantly and came across well. You felt sympathy for the Comedian. Nite Owl had a shining moment of strength in his mini-speech towards the end. This was strength the comic's Nite Owl never quite gave us, but the film did. (probably the result of having to cut Tales of the Black Frigate from the story.)
And finally, something about the ending, (slightly adapted from the comic,) just didn't bring it all together for me. I felt like the movie did not lead up to that point, as if there was this cool-sexy-action-fast-pace plot, and then this "oh yeah, nuclear war" plot that was totally separate. Perhaps it deserves a second viewing, because it *is* just a movie. I think very highly of The Watchmen, and perhaps after seeing the film I have realized just what a special piece of literature that book truly is. Where LotR felt like the perfect translation of book to film, Watchmen left a few disappointed kernels in my heart. Sorry Zack Snyder, you did the near impossible, everybody said Watchmen could never be made into a movie and you finally succeeded. But I didn't dig it 100%, more like 90%. Perhaps you'll get me with that Director's Cut.

Hmm. Definitely the strangest subject matter of all the Indy movies. That's really kept me from going back for multiple viewings.
Good stuff, great action, strange plot. Not the best of the Indy movies, but still a pretty good movie.

The little kid inside of me has been waiting for this moment my whole life. And ... I don't know what to think once I saw it.

I go back and forth on this movie.
Danny Boyle blends sci-fi, psychological thriller, disaster and horror ingredients in this visually breathtaking one-way trip to the sun. The special effects were perfect, the music was great, the pacing good, the story intriguing. ...But I feel like it missed it's potential somehow. The beginning sets the pace very well but doesn't necessarily deliver the ending. The 3rd act took a very interesting turn, and the shaky-cam that followed was too much for me. Don't get me wrong, I appreciated what they were trying to do. But by the end it was just too distracting and pulled me out of the film.
the ethical questions were all well done and drove the film, but remain on "well-trodden ground" for me.

Packed on the action, lost some of it's fun simplicity.
As I see it, 3 elements made the first Transformers such a fun movie: action, quirky characters, and saturday morning simplicity. Transformers2 just took each of these to the next level, and not necessarily in good ways either.
Action - was awesome. The fighting was much easier to follow, and really intense. Some sequences reminded me of Saving Private Ryan with robots. I thought this element of the film was pretty impressive.
Quirky Characters - just went Michael Bay over the top here. I felt like Sam Witwicky, his parents, and Megan Fox's character's were even more 2-dimensional here than they were in the previous film. (and Megan Fox's character was already pretty 2-D as it was). The addition of the roommate was fine, but the new Transformers (like the twins) were just really annoying and distracting. Bumblebee was one of my favorite characters from the first one, but here the Twins sucked up all the "quirky robot" spotlight and minimized Bumblebee far too much. (Think the "Jar-Jar Binks effect".)
Saturday-Morning-Simplicity. The first film had a minute or two of "Power Ranger" feeling to it. You know the moment where it just becomes too unbelievable and you're suddenly aware that you're watching a CGI Saturday Morning Cartoon with characters rivaling the cheesyness of Power Rangers? Transformers 2 had entire scenes steeped in it. The whole "Fallen" character reeked of it.

To wrap it up: It was enjoyable. Although the action was much better, there were just too many parts that stretched even my imagination. All the crude sexual jokes just further removed any idea that this was a "return to childhood simplicity" like the first film. Also, Michael Bay SUCKS at closure.
