Could this be the biggest movie summer of all time? It's sure looking like it. Almost every weekend features at least one, and maybe two or three, movies with a science-fiction, fantasy or comics pedigree.
There are superheroes, mutants, alien invasions, barbarians, monsters, tributes to Steven Spielberg, giant robots, boy wizards, weird horror films and a slew of art films that dabble in magic or the cosmic.Seriously, if you can't find anything at the movie theater that appeals to you this summer, then you hate movies. Here's our list of the 28 films that you might want to check out this summer.
Actually, we'll admit it: There are about 23 movies on this list that might actually be decent, and another five that are pretty much guaranteed to be massive train wrecks. We'll let you decide which are which.

Based on the cult comic book. Brandon "Superman" Routh plays a peacekeeper who has to mediate among the vampires, zombies and werewolves of the world, and it's not always pretty. And Sam Huntington plays Routh's undead assistant, as he copes with his toughest case yet — a case that has him facing the Guardian of Hell. Apparently the original comic was Umberto Eco's favorite comic book, which he could read for days.
