Advantages: A gripping crime drama with exotic locations and deep cover plot
Disadvantages: Chemistry not good enough bettween Farell and Li

...didn't tell you this was Miami vice. The Charachters called each other by their first names and didn't behave like the 1980's charachters at all. Nor was any of the original music present. The producers and directors must have feared that making a movie about this series would feel way too retro so they seem to have gone overboard compensating by updating the feel to be modern. The result was a very dark and gripping super-deep-undercover crime drama ...
...agencies like the FBI and Miami Vice cops. The FBI seems to have a leak and can't be trusted to take down the biggest drug lord, so Crockett and Tubbs volunteer for the job and find themselves in some of the most unfriendly places in the universe, but despite it all Crockett behooves the big bad guy's girlfriend played by Gong Li. Li is by far a much, much bigger actor in Asia than Colin Farrell is here, and naturally she's never done nudity before ... Read review

Advantages: The best movie of 2008...... So far
Disadvantages: It needed to be longer, if thats a flaw

...now find myself having watched Hancock awarding the movie the highest accolade I can by stating that of the movies so far, Hancock is the best movie of 2008. I avoided everything I possibly could to do with Hancock because to be honest the trailer failed to impress me. To my surprise I laughed, enjoyed the action, and was almost caused to shed a tear watching this very different superhero movie. In the past superhero movies characters are for the ...
..."Super Heroes". Hancock's superhero John Hancock (Will Smith) is not the traditional form of hero, he is an alcoholic, is verbally abusive, and has an appetite for destruction. While he wants to do good, nothing is ever quite thought through enough, while he might stop a group of armed thieves he may very well destroy half the city doing so. And this creates Hancock with a problem, he is not a superhero in the eyes of the public, he is a menace. ... Read review

Advantages: Better acting than Batman Forever and Batman and Robin, better costuming
Disadvantages: none that I can see

...the terrible mistakes which were Batman and Robin and Batman Forever. This time the costumes were good, the acting was good, and I actually enjoyed Katie Holmes in it even though for some reason I have been a bit prejudiced to her since Dawson's Creek and several other teenage movies she starred in in that era. As for the plot of the show, it's exactly like what the name suggests. It's about how Batman was made. I say buy it ;) ... Read review
