Well, we are into August right now, and time to stop and reflect on what we have seen on the big screen so far. I have to give Stars Wars as the most exciting movie and best so far, I was surprised by the Island in a good way just about everything else has sucked, your thoughts?

Stars Wars and Batman Begins are the only two that I've seen but both were great.

Joe, i think my mom wet to see the Pen. movie, she liked it, I don't know if I could sit through it, but It might be a lot like those good Disney Real Life Adventures they used to do, you know that is why they built the Jungle Cruise in the frist place

SW3 rocked thw house.Batman was great,the best in the series.War of the Worlds was okay;nothing spectacular but good entertainment.Charlie and the Chocalate Factory was weird.Johnny Depp has made a career out of playing these odd characters,but I think this film was a mis-step for him.

Even though I liked Batman a lot,I do wish that Hollywood would take a break from superhero movies and from re-making old televison shows.

Was The Island really that good?

Regarding the Chocolate Factory, I could never think anyone else as Wonka besides Gene Wilder.

HHGTTG is not a review-breaker, but it's the kind of film certain "weirdos" will consider a cult classic twenty years from now on.

I feel the same way. There are too many re-makes and superhero movies for my taste (although I really liked Batman Begins). I hope Hollywood can get creative again. There are good films out there but they are becoming more of a rarity.

I thought Johnny Depp was superb and blew Gene Wilder out of the water. Freddie Highmore was also good as Charlie, and the scenes of Charlie's home were delightful. The rest of the movie, though - the parts that were just from the book and not focusing on the psychology - was regrettable. Especially the Oompa Loompas.

Batman Begins is my top pick so far. Star Wars was better than expected. War of the Worlds was alright. Fantastic Four was... decent. I don't bother with a lot of the other remakes.

This was certainly not a summer for great movies. Batman Begins was the best I saw this year. Star Wars wrapped up the total letdown that is the new trilogy, and the Fantastic 4 was abysmal. The Choco Factory was good, but gave too little screentime to the factory tour and too much time to the stupid long lost father ending. Wedding Crashers was actually pretty good, and I'm still trying to catch Devil's Rejects.
