Yeah, just what we need - more bad movies based on formula or better yet, more bad formula remake movies. Was disappointed with "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", the 70s version of "Dune" by David Lynch, and yes, even "X Men" and "X Men 2". If you are going to make a movie based on a great book, (or comic book series), it should reflect the spirit of the origional. The first "Batman" with Micheal Keaton came close, though it was not as dark as the comic, and "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy was brilliant. I am not a geek - I did not make public protest about Jessica Simpson not wearing nylons as Daisy Duke in "The Dukes of Hazzard". "War of the Worlds" could have been done better. I'd like to see David Cronenburg tackle it.

Just directing this to comments like these... what do you expect? Every single movie has the same template. Minority Report and that one with the clues in the summer of 2003 (or 04?). Collateral and Training Day (in a way). Even i Robot and the Terminator (in a way).
Sometimes, you just gotta turn your brain off. You get an origanal here and there (Italian Job, Ocean's 11, LOTR, Matrix) that make it unique, but those are rare.
