Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted June 5, 2011 (edited) X-Men: First Class. Easily the best movie in the series and a great way to re-boot the movies, if that is the plan. Seriously could be the best movie I have seen so far this year. (Very little exaggeration on my part) I was unsure of the same thing. I asked a buddy of mine if this was indeed a reboot of the series, or just a prequel to the already existing movies, and apparently it is just a prequel the the rest of the series. Which saddens me... because I really loved First Class and the direction it was going. But on the First Class wiki page, it says that FOX wants this to be the first movie of a new X-Men trilogy. Which will be amazingly epic, IMO. Superhero / Comic movies have really been exceeding expectations lately. Edited June 5, 2011 by Shaq Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GA_Eagle 595 Posted June 5, 2011 Superhero / Comic movies have really been exceeding expectations lately. Watched a comic book movie recently that did not exceed expectation, in fact it was far worse than I expected and I expected pretty damn bad. Jonah Hex. Fans of the comic will be pissed, fans of watching movies that don't suck balls also. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think that we have Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, even Watchmen to thank for the new direction that comic book movies have taken as of late. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krawnka 282 Posted June 6, 2011 Kung Fu Panda 2 - Had me laughing quite a bit..Jack Black is kind of annoying, but Jack Black as a Panda is funny to me. Yeah, Jonah Hex almost had me wanting a refund...I watched it with the oldest, while my wife watched Karate Kid with the youngest....after seeing Karate Kid on DVD, I was quite jealous of that deal.

Bay 2,003 Posted June 6, 2011 Been watching some Friday the 13th's over the past week or so. Starting with the the third one being my favorite and just watched Part 8 last night. I've already seen 1 and 2, too many times. 1-4 are all solid. So watch those If you've never seen any of 'em. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WindyCitySports 407 Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) Batman Begins And will probably be watching it again tonight because I only watched part of it. It was so good. Edited June 7, 2011 by WindyCitySports Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Duck Fallas 209 Posted June 11, 2011 Super 8. It seems to me that the summer 2011 movies just get better and better. I really liked this one more than anything else I have seen so far this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vin+ 3,121 Posted June 11, 2011 True Grit remake. Better than the original IMO. Though that may be because I'm not really a fan of John Wayne. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
badgers 380 Posted June 11, 2011 The Pacifier I wanted to watch 2012 but I was overruled. I think Vin Diesel was actually perfect for The Pacifier. He's a really bland actor, and I think his role in that movie contrasted perfectly with the children and that's why I liked that movie. 2012 sucks balls you didn't miss a thing. As for me: 8 Mile. Saw it on TNT or something last night. Definitely not bad. I can't say whether or not it reflects life in ghetto Detroit but I liked the movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rzb+ 367 Posted June 13, 2011 Bridemaids. Girlfriend's pick. I thought it'd be really funny with all the SNL people in it, but no. It had a few zingers and laughable situations, but all in all.. I was bored with it. Girlfriend loved it so I win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted June 14, 2011 Super 8 I thought it was a good summer blockbuster. The film revolves around a group of child actors, and I thought they all excelled. Was disappointed with the monster though. I am tired of spider-looking monsters. So over done. But definitely a good watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was honestly blown away by the children actors in the movie, they were excellent, espcially Elle Fanning (not too shocking, though). Oh, and, spiders scare the fucking ever-loving SHIT out of me, so spider-monsters work great in my book. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And the way they built up the monster throughout the movie was absolutely brilliant. But when you finally see it at the end... I was like... OH COME ON. lol. Extremely minor complaint. Still a really good movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KiLaSix9+ 398 Posted June 14, 2011 500 Days of Summer. I'd say this is the perfect movie to watch with your gf or wife. It's a story about boy meets girl but it's really not a romantic comedy. It is funny however and features Joseph Gordon-Levitt and the beautiful Zooey Deschanel. I enjoyed the movie and it's originality. Like I said, if you need a good movie to watch with your chick that you'll both like, check this one out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rzb+ 367 Posted June 14, 2011 The Experiment. Forrest Whittaker is amazing. If only the director had a deeper plot, it would be much more recognized. I understand it was based on a true scientific experiment from the 70's but still, learn how to capture suspense. Cutting a man's hair just doesn't fit the bill, even if he is a hippie.
