Metromix Movie Awards 2007

2007: The year in movies

Most awe-inspiring display of star power: Will Smith in “I Am Legend” [pictured]
Smith not only carries the movie almost entirely by himself on screen, he also drove the movie to a record-breaking $77.2 million December opening—the fourth largest opening of the year (the top three were all sequels).

Most (unpleasantly) surprising box office hit: “Wild Hogs”
John Travolta, Martin Lawrence, Tim Allen and William H. Macy go on a homophobic motorcycle road trip that’s like the worst sitcom CMT never made. A sequel is on the way. How did this happen?!

Worst summer sequel: “Rush Hour 3”
Chris Tucker’s bigoted cop reaches new heights of annoyance. Keep in mind, the summer also delivered “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.”
