I have to be honest here. It has been a long time since I have seen this many really quality movies during a summer period. It seems that every movie I go to see meets or surpasses my expectations ... and this is even before some of the biggest films come out (Dark Knight, Hancock, Wanted). This thread is meant to be just a summary of opinions of Summer movies of 2008 (one line comment per movie). Feel free to add comments as new movies come out.

The Forbidden Kingdom - A bit before summer ... Awesome movie with the 2 masters
88 Minutes - Nice Al Pacino flick
Iron Man - Probably the best comic book movie ever made
Speed Racer - Very colorful and fun movie
Kung Fu Panda - One of the best and funniest CG animated movies ever made
You Don't Mess With The Zohan - Adam Sandler is really funny ... Emmanuelle Chriqui is really hot
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - It's Indy, 'nuff said
The Incredible Hulk - Edward Norton is Bruce Banner ... very good stuff
Get Smart - Laugh out loud funny on a Mr. Bean level

My picks for the summer thus far:

Iron Man - Just a really fun film especially for someone with no Iron Man background.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian - King of the summer imo thus far, besting the 1st with flying arrows.

The Forbidden Kingdom - Nice Martial Arts film.

Best movies ive seen this year so far

Iron Man - zomg epic win

Cloverfield - Watched it again on Blu Ray.....dred......wow

Incredible Hulk - FINALLY a good hulk move!!!

For the rest of the summer

Batman Dark Knight (like everyone else)

Hancock - I have a feeling this movie gonna fail, i am HOPING it wont.

Xfiles - I want to believe - HOPING its a good comeback, but i think they killed the series too much to revive it, its going to be to investigitave and ppl gonna be "i dont remember it being so slow"

Wall.E - This movie will hand Kung Fu Panda its ass - Simple reason Dreamworks dunno htf to make "fun" they just like to call their sh!t "projects"

WANTED - I hoping for a great nonstop over the top action ride like Shoot Em Up

some under the radar movies i think i may like

Twilight - Vampires! although its a love story. Chick flick

Mummy - Tomb of the Dragon Emperor - No offense to those that liked it, but Forbidden Kingdom was EPIC FAIL, from the time i see white boy try to buss kung fu, and is the mc star, when Jackie Chan/Jet Li in it.

My best friends Girl - LOL....Kate Hudson (win), Dane Cook (woot) and Jason Biggs (LOL)....good kicks. REAL chick flick....actually "carry a buncha girls" chickflick

Righteous Kill - FOLKS!!! DeNiro and Pacino together again!!

Crixx, that Babylon AD is taken from books called Bablyon Babies. I read a lil synopsis online and got some spoilers immc, mcmcmc. Sounded interesting though.
