So, The Summer Blockbuster Season Is Over...

[fringey]

What movies did you see this summer? What movies did you miss? What lived up to your expectations? What didn't? What was better than you expected it to be?

Personally, I only got to see a bare handful. I missed far too many. I did see MI-3, X3, Pirates of the Carribean 2, and Superman Returns. MI3 and X3 both exceeded my expectations. Priates and Superman were both a little disappointing, though I enjoyed both immensely. They just weren't up to what I hoped for. No real disappointments as in "bad". I think the one film I wanted to see the most that I missed was Clerks 2. I am a huge Kevin Smith fan, but seem to miss almost everyone of his movies in the theater. Most of the others I missed were smaller films, like Snakes On A Plane, The Descent, and Zoom. Lady In The Water , My Super Ex-Girlfriend, The Da Vince Code, The Omen, and Poseiden were the bigger films I missed. I have seen Poseiden on DVD now and was kind of glad I didn't pay to see it in the theater. Not a bad movie, per se, but nothing to shout about. Much better than the recent TV version, though.

I have to say I didn't go that much to the movies this summer, most I had no interest in seeing like The Da Vince Code, Mission Impossible 3, Snakes on a Plane. I was really hoping Superman Returns would knock my socks off, it is a good movie, but I feel it was too long and didn't have a climactic ending. X-Men 3 just wasn't up to standards with the first 2, good eye candy when it comes to CGI effects but that's about all I'm giving it.

X3 exceeded my expectations, because I had really low expectations for it to begin with. Not near as good as the first two, but far better than I thought it would be. That's why I gave it "exceeded expectations" status.

when it comes to this summer movies I agree with Rayman. Don't forget about Dead man's Chest. It was just a set up for Pirates 3. We will probably have to have seen Pirates 2 to understand Pirates 3
I hate transitional movies

Will someone shut that man up
NEVER!

Pirates 2 was a disappointment to me because I felt it ran overlong and some of the scenes seemed interminably overextended. lus, it take a good 30 minutes for anything exciting to happen. On the whole, I enjoyed it, just not as much as I hoped I would.
