Let's Grade Movies!

Time for another movie roundup! This is shaping up to be a fabulous summer, with plenty of hits, but some disappointments as well.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - B. I was not disappointed. Shai the Beef was not as annoying as I had predicted, but still was.... himself. The ending was a bit of a letdown, as I expected something more spectacular, what with all the unprecedented use of CGI this time around. If I were you, faithful reader, I would wait for the DVD on this one.

The Incredible Hulk - B-. Finally, what a superhero movie should be - little bit of plot, LOTS of action. There was a bit of un-hulk action that broke up the flow, but for the most part, it was all Hulk. I'd rather have seen Hulk get a bigger as he got angrier, but the pants bits were amusing, so I forgive them. Also, according to Allie and I agree, Liv Tyler looks like a duck.

The Love Guru - F-. We walked out about 20 minutes in. That's how much of the middle school humor we could stand. What made it worse - people were laughing. I told the manager I wanted my money back, he looked at the ticket stub, and didn't seem suprised at all. Thanks Regal!

Wanted - D+. The more I think about it, the angrier I get. I'm angry right now, thanks. Wasted idea with an idiotically simplistic plot. Some have said it was very bloody. Eh, there's only so much blood you can get out of CG. Absolutely anticlimatic and required quite a bit more suspension of belief than it deserved. It was okay, but don't waste your hard earned money.

Wall-E - A+(+++++). Well done Pixar! Charming film start to finish, beautiful establishing shots - you absolutely got each environment. Wall-E and Eve has to be one of the cutest couples to ever grace the big screen. If you have not seen this movie, you must. If you don't, you have no soul, are a demon, and to that I say adversus solem ne loquitor.
Upcoming movies include..... uh.... Batman? Summer is running out of steam, and it's only just July.
