I liked indy but you can't compare it to the originals, iron man was a definite surprise, something tells me Batman won't be a surprise!!

[BlackKnight]

Well as far as Marketing Goes,... I'd say Speed Racer was a Smash Bomb. No surprise here however,.... to me it was 30 yrs too late. lol.

I liked Indy 4...plus it made $300 million...hardly disappointing in my eyes.

No, it had nothing to do with being 30 years too late, it was just a horrible video game induced acid trip of a movie, that's what.

Had it been made more conventional movie, it would have been a decent flick.

Hulk was a box office disappointment.

[The Bat]

I liked Indy...come'on...it's INDY!!!!

Hulk wasn't bad...it was fun.

IronMan RULED! One of the BEST Comic adaptions EVER!


But "The Dark Knight"....will kick ALL Their Butts!!!!!

I loved Iron Man, that was nailed big time! I thought the Hulk was disappointing though, the CGI stank most of the time. Still haven't seen Indy but I'll check it out on DVD when it comes out. Looking forward to Hellboy II and Batman now.

I enjoyed Indy. I thought the ending was kind of anti-climatic, but other than that it was a good romp, which is all the other Indy movies are, despite our fanboyish devotion to them.

Iron Man was a GREAT movie. I expected to like it, but I thoroughly enjoyed it, and it set the bar high for other super hero movies, esp. Marvel ones.

Hulk was good, and cleared the taste of Ang Lee's crapterpiece. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would, and my son loved it.

Kung Fu Panda was VERY entertaining and much better than expected.

Haven't seen Wall-E yet, but I will this weekend.

Dark Knight...that is the one baby. I think it will outdo the others too. I may be wrong, but the buzz is huge, and it seems to have the substance to back it up. Nolan and Bale can't go wrong with Batman. They've nailed it.

Hancock... haven't seen it, and probably won't until DVD. It did well this weekend, but word of mouth is mediocre at best, so it will be intersting to see how it makes out in the coming weeks.

Wow that's so surprising Joe I wouldn't have thought that from you...

Second will be Dark Knight. Iron Man and Hulk I can wait to rent.

Still waiting on Hellboy and Dark Knight...then Bond.....although Ironman was good it didn't float my boat that much....could've done with a more spectacular closing third...am increasingly disappointed in movies being made over the last few years ...too many remakes....too much hype....too much cgi.....am looking to the indi films, foriegn market and low budget now to get my film buzz as they seem the only movies that I really enjoy...hollywood has lost it big time.
