Summer Movie Reviews

Jul 07, 2008 11:55

Now that we’ve reached the halfway point in the summer movie season, I thought I’d share my reviews of the flicks I’ve seen so far. Thoughts about each movie are under the cut so as not to spoil anyone.

1) Ironman - Easily the best movie of the summer. If you haven’t seen it yet you are missing what I consider to be the best superhero movie yet ( Read more... )

I have seen IronMan and Get Smart and enjoyed the latter more than the former; while I was very impressed with Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark (omg hotness) the rest of the movie sort of frusted me. I am not a Terrance Howard fan and think they could have done better casting both there and with Gwenyth Paltrow's character. She grated on me from the beginning of the movie and wanted her squashed; I was sceptical about Get Smart mroe because I am not a Steve Carrell fan, although I liked what I GOT to see of him in Dan in Real Life... but it was AMAZING. It was nice to see THe Rock as a "evil" character who got to speak for once, too!!

Also, not a big Jack Black fan, so the only thing I REALLY enjoyed were the little movie theatre scenes ("that's right, I'm watching you") are the only thing I liked about Kung Fu Panda.

I guess because I know the comic, if really thought Ironman was well cast but I am not a big Gwenyth fan normally.

The Rock as evil was a nice twist since he always seem to play the big damn hero

Except in The Mummy Returns, but he didn't really have a speaking the part there - and I was terribly disappointed at his performance in The Scorpion King (as the story did not go with the story in MR at ALL).

Very true The scorpion King was a big disappointment.
I find RDJ to be such a hot guy especially as Ironman. but I've loved him since "Chances Are" an old 80's romance.

I think i SAW "Chances Are" - not when it came out of course, but at some point in my lifetime.

I just bought it off Amazon because Ironman reminded me of my college crush on RDJ and my love for that movie

Looked it up in IMdB and totally saw it... wasn't my favourite movie but cute. Loved the earrings thing from what I remember...
