Well the spring/summer movie season has officially ended for me.  I have seen thirteen movies, and I shall provide you with the final all inclusive movie rankings, from best to worst.

  1. Battle Los Angeles- This movie fulfilled ever expectation that I had for a summer film.
  2. Rise of the Planet of the Apes- This was an unexpected movie that cries for
    sequels! This movie was a pleasant surprise.
  3. Harry Potter- The final movie of the franchise hit all of the right notes
    and had a satisfying conclusion.
  4. X-Men: First Class- This movie had me thinking weeks after it was over, which
    has given it the edge over the other superhero films of the summer.
  5. Thor- This was a fun superhero film that I enjoyed immensely despite my initial
    misgivings.
  6. Captain America- Another solid superhero film that exceeded expectations.
  7. Cowboys & Aliens- From what I hear, many people didn’t buy into the film.
    I completely disagree. I loved the concept and serious tone of the movie.
  8. Hanna- A remarkable action film that had a unique story idea even if somewhat
    flawed.
  9. Transformers: Darkside of the Moon- Many people hate the Transformers movies, but I
    love’em! Action, Robot Mayhem and Robotic Transformations. Enough said!
  10. Super 8- A wonderful nostalgia film that brought back memories of my
    childhood, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, ET & Poltergeist.
  11. Green Lantern- Not as bad as I thought it would be, but they really missed
    some opportunity with this film.
  12. I AM NUMBER  4- This should have
    been reserved for Saturday morning teen shows.
  13. Sucker Punch- The most disappointing film of the summer that should win one
    of those Razzy awards. Some much potential wasted.
