Yahoo is claiming that the total cost for movie and marketing was $300 million. It has the potential to be one of the biggest bombs in history.

I would have went if one of the giants looked like Elmer Fudd.

Singer must be glad he's already got xmen in the works. He hasn't had a hit in a while and a stinker like this could kill his career.

This REALLY should have starred Jack Black.

I'm going to see it tonight :)

I really like Nicholaus Holt as an actor, but I always imagined Jack as a naive teenager. Odd that they'd make the role for a 20-something actor. Maybe they have studies that show that adults will assume a movie is just for kids if it's main protagonist is a teenager.
