Talk about an interesting case study … I will not say that the film debut as a superhero than expected since last summer The Dark Knight, and one of the most expensive due to its 130M to $ 150M dollar budget is a financial bomb. Nor will tell you this sequel and never to have no big screen remake of a wild-admired graphic novel by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons in a creative vacuum. That silly alien giant squid was a non-starter even with CGI the Wazoo.(Do not quibble with me about the end will change. Instead, this is one of those ...More

Well, it seems that the reason is because the President led the Hollywood animation studio, Jeffrey Katzenberg just happens to be the former Bank of America Vice President and Chief Financial OfficerBut why in the world are helping U.S. taxpayers foot the bill to promote a big-budget 3-D film of DreamWorks Animation?
