This Is Surprising

I was doing a roundup of the summer movies since we're in the weeks of the big 3 releases (WALL-E, Hancock, and Dark Knight) and I was surprised by what I've seen so far, and thought it merited a post. Apparently, graduating and not having TV (the Internet is good enough for me) has skewed my idea of pop-culture. When I think of the most anticipated movie of the summer I immediately think of one of the big 3, wouldn't you think so? Turns out, the most anticipated movie of the summer is NOT Dark Knight, it's Hellboy 2. Pan's Labyrinth has done wonders for Guillermo's career and I'm both saddened and overjoyed that HB2 is the most anticipated movie.
What also came as a surprise to me is Hancock is getting HORRIBLE reviews... it only received a 33% on RottenTomatoes.com. Will Smith... Jason Bateman!.. what went wrong?! I'm anxious to see whether this will be the movie to break Will's winning streak.
What didn't come as a surprise is WALL-E getting epic reviews and Dark Knight doing the same. I've also seen a review for Hellboy 2 that gives it a 10/10 but I hold it with a grain of salt because I'm not sure the core material for Hellboy can merit a perfect score but I don't doubt Guillermo's ability so, we shall see.
