Summer Movie Scorecard 2011

Elliot Newton

The best film of the summer isn't even in there. Sadly, its only because it is a documentry.

Harry Potter, Rise of the Apes, X-Men, Super 8 were my top picks for this summer. Not a bad year.

Don't agree with many of the placings, but it's heavily based on the tomato scores so understandable.

King Simba

Hmmm...for once a Pixar film isn't the highest rated film of the summer. That's got to be the first time since the original cars 5 years ago. Anyway, nice to see Potter on top. A perfect way to end the franchise.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II was easily the best film of the summer, IMO. It was dark, well-written, wonderfully acted, and not only emotionally stirring but also immensely entertaining as a spectacle as well. X-Men: First Class was the best superhero film of the summer. The weakest superhero film, which was also the most disappointing film of the year(so far), IMO, is Green Lantern. That film has scarred me beyond belief. The CGI and the acting weren't what killed the film, it was that script that killed generations worth of comics lore and mythology.

My Top-10 Summer Films this year are:

1-Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II

2-X-Men: First Class

3-Super 8

4-Rise of the Planet of the Apes

5-Thor

6-The Beaver

7-Midnight in Paris

8-Captain America: The First Avenger

9-Kung Fu Panda 2

10-Fright Night

PG-13 shark attacks vs. smell-o-visison vs. a crap load of the worst smurf puns ever, I will go with the PG-13 shark attacks. What will you choose?

Definitely Harry Potter for me, it's absolutely stunning. Everything about it was done so properly, I actually liked it more than the book it was based on.

Frisby 2007

I would put Harry Potter in there but since I've already seen it like 7 times...nah just kidding...I didn't like it the first time either...

Wow the time ten are mostly limited release. That's always kind of funny in a sad way to me.

I'm assuming Attack the Block as well as any foreign or independent (such as "Another Earth") didn't fit the criteria of "every big movie and blockbuster".

All, hell, nevermind. The list seems to have been changed since yesterday.

Tree of Life is the most overrated movie I've ever seen. I convinced my artsy-movie-hating brother to go with me on the strength of the reviews, the word of mouth and telling him it wouldn't surprise me if it changed our lives (jokingly and as way to make him come). Well, it changed our lives. Destroyed 2 hours and 20 minutes of my life with a barrage of faux-profound "the universe is a macrocosm to our microcosm" BS that I just told you in this sentence and saved you 2 hours and 19 minutes.
