(Photo: Warner Bros.) The third and final installment in "The Hangover" series is taking a lot of hits for being uninspired, lazy and — perhaps worst of all — unfunny. It's like the bitter disappointment of "The Hangover Part II," which many criticized for being a mere do-over of the first film in a different location. And apparently it put everyone in the mindset that "Part III" wasn't going to be any good, either. But there's a lot to like about director Todd Phillips' strange, sad and often rousing action thriller disguised as a raucous bro comedy — at least seven things, to be exact.

7. Heather Graham is ridiculously hot

She was hot 25 years ago as the object of Corey Haim's affections in "License to Drive" and she's even hotter now at the age of 43 (really, have you seen her recent bikini pics?). Jade, the stripper/prostitute who has the honor of being Stu Price's (Ed Helms)

Daniel Craig, seen here on the set of 'Skyfall,' has sway over the director choice this time (Columbia Pictures)Right when the blogosophere began spreading the news that Nicolas Winding Refn seemed to divulge he's in contention to helm the next Bond movie, a report surfaced saying Sam Mendes is back in the game.

Mendes, who directed "Skyfall" and said he was done with the franchise, is in talks to take on the next Bond film, according to Deadline.

Refn, the director of "Drive," seemed coy on the topic at Cannes when asked whether he was attached to the epic spy series -- leading some to speculate whether he is in contention.

One of Hollywood's favorite guessing games in recent months has been "Who's directing the next James Bond movie?" Other names that have been thrown around include Ang Lee and Christopher Nolan.

Helming a Bond picture has always been a prestige assignment, and Eon

Paul Walker defies physics in 'Fast & Furious 6' (Photo: Universal)With the blazing success of "Fast & Furious 6" this weekend, many of you are writing in to ask about the plausibility of, well, anything that happens in that movie.

Is it physically possible for Vin Diesel and his wheels of justice to go up against tanks and airplanes -- and win?

I found out for you, with the help of an expert: Marty Gordon, a professor of mechanical engineering technology at the Rochester Institute of Technology and a board-certified forensic engineer specializing in accident reconstruction.

He and I went through the most memorable scenes in the movie. The result: this Burning Q&A.

Can a car -- any car -- really drive through the nose of a plane?

Make that an engine of a cargo plane. And the answer is no.

"There is just too much metal for him to get through," Gordon tells me of the scene in which Diesel's car bursts through a hunk of flying machine. "If he did get through, he would have come through in chunks. That's like driving through a giant torch. The paint would have

The man who is now the Hulk was almost the Hulk a lot earlier.

Four years earlier, in fact, since Mark Ruffalo was director Louis Leterrier's first choice to play Bruce Banner in "The Incredible Hulk" (2008), the stand-alone adventure of Marvel's green giant, which preces his appearance in Joss Whedon's superhero mashup, "Marvel's The Avengers" (2012).

The role went to Edward Norton in that film, though the "Fight Club" star was apparently the frontrunner for Marvel execs and not the young director, as Leterrier explained in a recent interview with Huffington Post upon the release of his new film, "Now You See Me."

"When people are asking me, because Mark Ruffalo is in this one ['Now You See Me'], who's the better of the Bruce Banners -- both are great; both are fantastic -- but I actually wanted to cast Mark Ruffalo as Hulk," said Leterrier. "And Marvel was like 'No, you should get Edward Norton because he's more famous.'"

Leterrier stresses that he enjoyed working with Norton on "The Incredible Hulk" but takes credit for planting the Ruffalo seed with Marvel, even though the studio didn't think he was right

'Avengers' and 'X-Men' are playing nice when it comes to sharing Quicksilver (Photo: Marvel/20th Century Fox, inset Marvel)
It looks like Fox and Disney are just going to find a way to share their new favorite action figure — Quicksilver. And you'll just have to get used to seeing him (played by two different actors) over and over again.

A tremor shook the comic book world last week when Bryan Singer confirmed via Twitter that he cast Evan Peters (one of the best things about "American Horror Story") in the role of Quicksilver in "X-Men: Days of Future Past." It wasn't the casting choice that caused all sorts of murmurings but the fact that the appearance of the character in a Fox movie seemed to contradict Joss Whedon's plans to use that same character in the next "Avengers" outing, which is run by Marvel/Disney.

However, it looks like plans are going forward for Quicksilver to appear in both films. Joss confirmed that the high-speed character — and his sister, Scarlet Witch — are still a planned part of "The Avengers 2."

"There are new characters ... we're going to have a brother-sister team, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, who were great mainstays in 'The Avengers' when I was reading the comics," said Whedon on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon this week.

When Fallon asked if Whedon had cast the roles yet, he replied with "Not yet ... we're doing that now."

So that at least more

MICHAEL SHANNON as General Zod in Warner Bros. Pictures' and Legendary Pictures' action adventure

There's not much point in being a superhero if you don’t have a super villain to fight, and in a new "Man of Steel" TV spot, we get a better sense of who Superman is up against in this summer's hotly anticipated big screen reboot.

"No matter how violent, every action I take is for the greater good of my people," a menacing, slightly slurred voice says in voice over as we see large scale destruction being rained down upon cities big and small.
