I wanna see that pretty bad. I keep hearing its one of the best movies of the year. Unfrtunetly all vampire movies made are over shadowed by twilight. I'm looking to check out the novel of Let The Right One In first, though.

Twilight wasn't horrible. I mean, I went in thinking it was going to be the worst movie I've ever seen but it wasn't super bad. I could stand it.

The worst movie of 2008 (if it counts) is the fourth Indiana Jones. I actually wanted to leave while watching this. It was SO disappointing and terrible. I mean ALIENS!? WTF are aliens doing in an Indiana Jones film!?

The best was Iron Man, I'd say. Though the Dark Knight was extremely good, Iron Man really surprised me in being an excellent movie. The plot and action was top notch. The Dark Knight really didn't have to much of a plot, it relied more on action to drive the movie reviews.

Dark Knight was a great movie but the ending really annoyed me. Why did they have to bring in the kid? I thought they'd stay away from such massive clichés. And Two-Face's face annoyed me. Otherwise the movie did a good job of staying away from CGI effects but they really overdid the face.

And why on Earth did humans sympathize with robots in Wall-E? That was really beyond me.

Yes, I sure like nitpicking.

I don't consider myself a movie buff (too much time to be one of those), but I'd say I have good judgment and a very un-inflated grade scale.

On my scale, I'd put TDK at a B+ (89/100) - which is very good by my standards. The biggest problem I had with TDK was that they used that stupid cell phone network. There were too many "crutches" that broke suspension of disbelief and that really took away from what would have been an A movie.

I didn't see Indiana Jones because I heard it was so stupid. Honestly, the South Park episode really hit the nail on the head, so I was told. Again, I really need to go see it myself, but I read the plot and it seemed awful before people even saw it. I mean, fucking Aliens?
