One Minute (give or take a few seconds) Movie Reviews

Guess I'm a little behind on posting about the summer movies I've seen, so here's some mini reviews, working my way backwards.

HANCOCK

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Will Smith was compelling as usual. Story had fresh take on the popular superhero craze. Very entertaining for me. Great!

WALL*E

Pixar's newest hit. Endearing, lovable robots. Some slow parts, fairly entertaining. Not as good as the hype. So-so!

KITT KITTEREDGE



Nice G rated family film. Cute story, good acting, simple plot stuff for the kiddies. Harmless!

WANTED



Not for the squeamish, but if you like "out there" type of action, this is for you. A cross between "Shoot um Up" and the "Matrix". Wild!

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull



It did my heart good to see the old characters back, along with a new one. Not as good as the original, but was faced paced and entertaining. Fun!

SPEED RACER



Kind of a crazy, fun take on the classic cartoon. Heavy on action, light on substance. Cool!


IRON MAN



What a great movie! I really enjoyed this one. It was smart, funny and had "sequel" written all over it. Excellent!

So far, this summer's movies have yet to disappoint me. Looking forward to The Dark Knight and Mama Mia. Stay tuned!
