Did not spend much at the cinemas this year but watched a lot of movies anyway. :$ :D
Here are some short opinions of the Top 5 movies at the box office + the ones I most remember.
The Dark Knight - Great movie, great fun. But dulled somewhat by the hype.
Iron Man - Probably my favourite movie this year. A lot of hype on this one too but most of it came
after it was released.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - Mostly entertaining but aliens? That South Park episode got it right, Indy was raped. And did it really need Shia LaBeouf? Does any movie need this guy? Someone in Hollywood must have a hard-on for him.
Hancock - Over-rated, a very weak plot and overall a whole lot of non-sense. It's movies like this that give summer flicks a bad name. But Charlize Theron looked hot.
Wall-E - Never knew robots could be this cute and full of emotions. Had watched the trailer and wondered how that would turn out but Disney/Pixar knew what they were doing. :)
Kung Fu Panda - Not bad up to when the fat Panda got good at kung-fu.
Saw V - Anyone who knows me well knows my love for the Saw movies and the twists. But not too happy with this one. Did not feel like much of a twist this year.
Hellboy 2 - One of the 6 movies I saw at the cinema this year. Had high expectations because I had loved the first movie, left mostly disappointed.
The Happening - Watched it in Thailand but not even that could make this movie look good. Not sure what M. Night Shyamalan is trying to do. If he can't come up with good stories anymore, it's really okay to direct scripts written by other people.
The Incredible Hulk - I thought it was quite good. If that's what they had come up a few years ago instead of that turd Ang Lee put out, maybe we could have had a sequel.
Tropic Thunder - Hadn't expected much from a movie directed by and starring Ben Stiller but this wasn't too bad. Retards are funny.
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor - Like Hellboy 2, a disappointment when compared to the previous movies.
You Don't Mess With The Zohan - Hilarious. :O Funniest movie I've watched this year.
