Will Smith is a boring actor.

I personally cannot wait for Hancock! How funny is that trailer?

Mr. Travers: Out of all the film critics out there, your reviews are usually the best barometer of whether or not something is up my alley (we disagree about Ed Zwick's movies, but that's for fall). I too share your enthusiasm for Indy, Iron Man, and The Dark Knight.
One complaint: no mention of Wall-E? Granted it doesn't exactly fall into either action or comedy (though it appears to have elements of both), but I think anything by Pixar should be worth a mention. Maybe a mention later on?

This is gonna be the summer of suck. Only movies Im lookin foward to is TDK and IJ, even though Shia Le Duche is in it.
But really, ppl need to stop with all the oscar buzz over Heath Ledgers last performance, no ones even seen the movie yet!
Anyways, the best comedy already come out I think - Sarah Marshal. Everything else is just a mediocre comedy drowning in a sea of more mediocre comedies. But really, Jack Black, Ben Stiller, Steve Carrel, Will Ferell, etc. - these guys should just get together once a year and make one movie.

Heath was so talented and an Oscar for The Dark Knight would be a much deserved honor. RIP Heath.

batman begins was fairly good all around. but i expect the dark knight to blow me away. my expectations can't be any higher for another film this year. this film will be quite the journey.

Heath Ledger Should get nominated for the Oscar and other awards .
From the Trailers alone it's revolutionary the performance is changing the craft it's Beatiful

Sorry, but Indy & Co. took too damn long for a man in hat picture. Plus Speilberg no longer has that child-like quality he brought with his 80's pictures; just look at WAR OF THE WORLDS.
TDK will be the best and biggest film of the summer. Any word if theyre planning on bumping up the release date ?

The Dark Knight will be spectacular, look for the new trailer in a few days. Also, Peter your speculation that Heath Ledger might get an oscar nod is brilliant, I believe the performance will warrant this.

Actually, Ledger, thankfully, had COMPLETED his work on "Knight" when he died. There's another flick that he was working on; Johnny Depp, amongst others, came forward to help finish that one.

Me too, Peter Travers. I can't wait to see Dark Knight--Heath looks so scary in the preview. It is so sad that this is what he was working on when he died.
