It's sort of sad to see aging action heroes struggling to keep up the pretense. I say act your age, go with the character roles and give up the charade. Given how the public has received most recent grossout and sex-obsessed comedies with a collective raspberry, I say the time has passed for such a movie. After seeing the planned movie releases, I think A.I. by Spielberg looks the best. I'm starting to get excited about Planet of the Apes, especially after seeing more of Rick Baker's fabulous monkey suits.
Money speaks louder than critical words.
If you, the public, attend these movies, they will make more. However, much material may be inappropriate for kids under 13 and parents may regret taking their brood. I was lucky enough to attend an early screening and this skewering of fairy tale cartoons is family fun in the truest sense of the cliche. It's about a cranky, ugly and gross ogre voiced by Mike Myers who proves to be a prince of a fellow. At least one of these so-called blockbuster movies are opening nearly every weekend so it will be hard for one release to hang on as No. 1.
