Will 'Hulk' Topple 'Matrix'?
"The Hulk," not "The Matrix: Reloaded," will be the summer's top movie, according to Richard Roeper of "Ebert and Roeper."
(Associated Press) -- "The Hulk," not "The Matrix: Reloaded," will be the summer's top movie, according to Richard Roeper of "Ebert and Roeper."
Roeper says it's the "R" rating that will prevent Matrix from soaring. "But I got a feeling that a lot of 14 and 15-year-old boys are going to figure out a way to go see 'The Matrix: Reloaded.'
But they're going to have to buy tickets to a PG-rated movie and sneak in to Matrix, so it won't count for their box office," Roeper told AP Radio.
He's expecting good things from "The Hulk" because it's a "beloved" comic-book character and it's directed by the same person who did "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."
"My guess is that it's going to be very very well done," Roeper told AP Radio.
Roeper says he's hearing positive things about Arnold Schwarzenegger and "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines."
And, while it's unusual for anything but popcorn movies in the summer, Roeper says "Seabiscuit" with Tobey Maguire could be mentioned when Oscar time rolls around.
