Just watched The Dark Knight, the latest Batman flick, yesterday. Wow! Big Wow!! Reshuffled my "Top 3 Movies Watched This Year" list:
- The Dark Knight (a perfect 10 - great story, flow, action, acting, ending)
- Iron Man (just missed a "10" with that weak ending fight)
- Wall-E (another great Pixar movie, could have used more fleshing out but who could resist that robot)
Others watched but didn't make the list (either only OK or just plain bad):
- Jumper (could have been great if there was more character development rather than emphasis on the special effects. Samuel L Jackson was wasted in this movie)
- Hellboy 2: The Golden Army (lacked the omph of the first movie)
- Wanted (Angelina Jolie and the terrific ending saved this movie)
- The Incredible Hulk (predictable but still OK)
- Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (George Lucas should have been banned from writing sequels after he made a mess of Star Wars Episode 1)
