Good to see McAvoy making the most of his bald Xavier look.

I would argue that the point of Picard's seething hatred of the Borg in that film is to highlight just how far he's falling as a person because of the traumas he's suffered. It's not a disservice to Picard's characterization in the series— if anything, that characterization STRENGTHENS Picard's arc in the movie.

Hardy's pretty much the only good reason to watch Nemesis. He's so young, but even as a lanky twenty-something, he's got a great screen presence (even if his go-to arched eyebrow and half-smirk occasionally make him seem like a pint-sized Bond villain).

God damn it— is it too much to ask for there to be more than one horror movie out in theaters for Halloween? The whole friggin' holiday practically revolves around the horror genre!

Agreed on Sarah and John, but you're pushing it with the Terminators.

KIRK: (to Valeris) Where is the peace conference? Where is the peace conference?

Exactly! Beyond was the Trek film I was hoping we would get after the 2009 film (though admittedly, the main plot could have been a little headier). It makes a much better sequel than Into Darkness did, and it restored a lot of my excitement for this franchise in a big way.

Well, I feel like Star Trek Beyond is definitely a step in the right direction in that regard.

But the reboots are action movies first and foremost. Take away the action, and you're left with two hours of cotton-candy banter peppered with characters staring whistfully into the distance, contemplating their destinies. (And lens flares.)

He means the Abrams movies— Star Trek Into Darkness in particular features them prominently (these would be the uniforms Kirk and Spock wear when they go to see Admiral Pike in the first act, and then later are seen wearing in Admiral Marcus's ambushed conference).

I could see an argument being made for The Motion Picture being better (it is a Robert Wise production with some pretty great character moments and solid effects work for 1979)… but yeah, Insurrection ain't got nothing on First Contact.

Well, it'd be hard for her to play with it now, since she ended up giving it to Burns anyway.

I'm pretty sure Spawn got the Suicide Squad treatment from New Line Cinema back in '97. It honestly looks like there was a slightly more coherent, well-developed movie shot by the director, but the studio threw it into a woodchipper and turned the first act into a litany of montages and voice-over exposition sequences

Frank Miller wrote one of those crossovers, and his Batman sounded very much like a dry run for the nutjob Bats we would later get in "The Dark Knight Strikes Again" and "All-Star Batman and Robin".

Oh, McFarlane has been threatening to do that for a good decade now. The guy's all hot air at this point; no one wants to make another Spawn movie except, y'know, him.

Godzilla (the 2014 version).

They also went after Darren Aronofsky, who turned them down so he could go make Noah. Even HE probably would have been a better fit.

And considering how well it's working THIS time, I think we can expect "DC Reborn Again" to hit the stands sometime in 2019.

It's funny— he chose to deviate on all the MOST important aspects of the story (tone, depiction of violence, character, and the entire thematic underpinning and message of the story itself), and stayed slavishly faithful on the things that mattered the LEAST (plot structure, dialogue, meticulously recreated visuals,

Oh yeah, sure, Manganiello is a good pick, and he'll probably be great in the role and all that… but he will never replace Manu Bennett and his dulcet intonations of the word "mirakuru".
