Both awesome. But both last year.

They were released in this country this year. I saw them this year. They go on the list of my favourite films of the year.

Hmm... I just realized that I mainly see so-called "genre"-movies.. and couldn't give bugger all about nearly everything else. Hmm.

Here be my list, and I think I'll be the only guy in the entire interwebs that will put them in this order.

1. IIIRON MAAAN ( Ozzy's mechanical voice)
2. The Dark Knight ( told ya' so)
3. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
4. The Incredible HULK.
5. Cloverfield
6...?? Hmm.. Aliens Vs Predator2? (just realized I haven't seen any more movies than this, from this year, this year.)

I'll probably be seeing Quantum of Solace too, but it's not quite the kind of movie I'll see by meself. More of a perfect thing for grabbing some non-geek friends or family and go see it.

EDIT: Just remembered that I actually saw Cloverfield, and 'twas all right.

The Dark Night

the rest were generic tosh i could have written myself whilst asleep in my bed.

Batman was the only movie this year which caught me off guard, it was dark, nasty and far more evil, mainly thanks to heath, than i expected it to be.

Indiana jones was the biggest pile of ******* wank i have seen in years. its not good in any way whatsoever - Ford is to old, the plot was ****, the acting hammy as [composite word including 'f*ck'] and the CGI was utter bollox.

1 Dark knight
2 Wall e
3 Iron man

Hell boy 2
Kung fu panda

1) Dark Knight
2) Ironman
3) Tropic Thunder
4) Indiana Jones 4

Get these mother****ing Indies off my plane.

This year has been all about the Wire.

Predabot · Post by **Predabot** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 1:08 pm

Hmm...! just remembered that I saw Cloverfield, which was an OK movie, I guess.

It's just not something you quite remember as well as the other stuff tho, now is it?

Me and Spidey remembered it fine.

Maybe it's just something you have trouble remembering.

Oh yeah Cloverfield - I quite liked that.

1. Dark Knight
2. Pineapple Express (******* Ace)
3. Iron Man
4. Burn After Reading
5. Righteous Kill

sprunkner · Post by **sprunkner** » Sat Oct 04, 2008 7:09 am

This has little relation to movies from this year... I guess more than most... but I just saw Batman Returns for the first time. I think Burton's love-of-freaks story came out better in this one than the first.

Powermaster Optimus Prime · Post by **Powermaster Optimus Prime** » Tue Oct 07, 2008 2:25 pm

1. Dark Knight
2. Iron Man

Zohan, Hancock, and Pineapple were all crappy.

Cloverfield is in my all time bottom 10.

*edit* ... but Baby Mama was actually funny.

Obfleur · Post by **Obfleur** » Tue Oct 07, 2008 7:19 pm

This is my 2008 list based on what rating I've given them on Imdb.
1. The Dark Knight
2. Horton Hears a Who!
3. Be Kind Rewind
4. Taken
5. The Incredible Hulk
6. Baby Mama
7. Iron Man
8. Rambo
9. Cloverfield
10. The X Files: I Want to Believe
11. Semi-Pro

Bring it on bitches!

Impactor returns 2.0 · Post by **Impactor returns 2.0** » Tue Oct 07, 2008 8:07 pm

Oh yeah, Rambo - for being the most gory over the top blood fest ive seen in ages.

Obfleur · Post by **Obfleur** » Tue Oct 07, 2008 8:20 pm

Woop woop!!

Did not last long enough....needed more violent splashy deaths from .50cal

Obfleur · Post by **Obfleur** » Thu Oct 16, 2008 5:01 pm

I saw Wall-E a couple of days ago.

saysadie · Post by **saysadie** » Wed Oct 22, 2008 4:42 am

1. Wall-E [I've never really been one for sentimentality at a film, and this one made me cry. It was either great or I was hormonal... maybe a bit of both...]
2.Iron Man
3.The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
4. Dark Knight
5. Kung Fu Panda
6. Hancock

I've seen a lot more, but those are the only ones I can think of at the moment that are worth mentioning... Death Race was hilarious, btw. And not in a good way.

"F**k with me, and we'll see who s**ts on the sidewalk!" Hahahahahahahaha!

Post by **spiderfrommars** » Wed Oct 22, 2008 10:14 am

I've since caught In Bruges, which is well worth a look.

Incredible Hulk was entertaining enough, but as comic book movies go, more Fantastic Four than X-Men.

Brendocon · Post by **Brendocon** » Wed Oct 22, 2008 11:01 am

Caught Burn After Reading last night. My list has a new number seven.

And Death Race was awesome. Sometimes mindless high concept entertainment is required. It's the cinematic equivalent of Prison Break. With Ian McShane.

1. The Dark Knight

(watched it three times...)
2. WALL-E
3. Kung-fu Panda
4. Iron Man
5. Futurama - Bender's big score
6. Special (I know, it was a 2006 movie but I only saw it now. Sue me.)

erm... can't really name more, seeing as I tend to forget what movie came out when...

" There Will Be Blood " was awful. I almost fell asleep over it... So boring and was there even a moral or a plot there? People comparing this to 'Citizen Kane' seriously overrate this...
And Hellboy II was a big disappointment, much-much worse then even the first movie. A totally uninteresting plot, boring elf villain, Hellboy was annoying, the monster designs were too bizarre. I prefer Hellboy Animated over this, Guilemmo del Toro is waaay overrated (I'm already fearing what he'll do with the Hobbit...)

Yep, I'm planning to watch it myself - I'm not really into mindless violence but the whole death car racing and the weird customized 'Mad Max' cars remind me of Fallout a lot...

saysadie · Post by **saysadie** » Sat Oct 25, 2008 6:24 am

Yeah, the mindless action was grrrreat fun- it's what you go for when it comes to movies like that. I loved it in the sense that it was horrible. Hilarious, hilarious movie. Gave me my favourite movie line of the year.

In Bruges is decent. I know someone who swears up and down it's the best film he's ever seen- I wouldn't go that far, but it's pretty good. I was bored with Hellboy pretty much from the beginning. Whatshertits didn't improve that... she's like the female Nicholas Cage. Yech.

Moral? Maybe that blind ambition will leave you old and alone with no company other than a pool of somebody else's blood. Not really beyond that.

Plot? Two blokes trying to screw the other over.

It's the performances that carry it.

And, for the record, I think Citizen Kane is rubbish.
