This movie season is starting off badly. Both Troy and Van Helsing are getting stinker reviews. I don't see many good movies on the horizon this summer (alas, there's no Lord of the Rings to look forward to, either.) A few friends of mine liked Van Helsing, but then I know they had no taste to begin with.
I've noticed that, too. And The Day After Tomorrow is getting a lot of bad reviews, too. Outside of Shrek 2, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and possibly Spiderman 2, this is going to be another summer of overcostly movies not doing well at the box office.
