Movies Daily by Zach Cannon

I have about six minutes to post if I want to make any money today, so here’s a lame excuse for a post.

Hellboy II is the big release today. Is it good? 88% of critics on Rotten Tomatoes gave it a positive rating while the general consensus reads “Del Toro crafts a stellar comic book sequel, boasting visuals that are as imaginative as the characters are endearing.”

The other big release, Journey to the Center of the Earth, is a test for the future of 3-D. It’s Brendan Frasier’s first movie of the summer (the second, the third Mummy film, will be out in August). It only got a 62% on Rotten Tomatoes and its consensus reads: “Modern visuals and an old fasioned storyline make this family adventure/comedy a fast-paced, kitschy ride.”

Finally, the film nobody cares about, Meet Dave, another bore from Eddy Murphy. It got a 21% on Rotten Tomatoes and its consensus is pretty predictable: Easy gags and slack direction drag this occasionally clever alien-out-of-planet comedy down to unimaginative lows.
