EXCLUSIVE: “Late Bloomer” is one of those conceits for a movie you wish you’d thought of yourself: a man in his late 20s who’s never gone through puberty, then experiences it all in one head-spinning rush after a corrective...

Sylvester Stallone put his spin on the comic-book character a number of years ago, but in the view of many purists, this made-in-3D version is the much more faithful one. Karl Urban ("Star Trek") now has the role of the futuristic judge, jury and...
