The Amazing Spiderman. I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. It has the same vibe as the Spectacular Spiderman cartoon (which was fucking awesome and damn disney/marvel for not continuing it).
It's a shame Harry Osbourne wasn't a classmate and Eddy didn't work in the labs (like in before mentioned cartoon series). It would be cool if future villains/characters were introduced long before they took the spotlight (if they ever take the spotlight) as it would make the trilogy (I'm assuming it's a trilogy) feel like part of a larger world/whole rather than separate events.
It's something comic films really need to start doing in my own opinion. Sure when you're writing a comic it's a lot different and new characters pop up all the time but when your making a film you have so much to draw from it's a shame not to use it.
I saw amazing spider man, all I can think about it that lizard rat eating the mouse.

I like the pretend that bit didn't happen...
Recently saw Ted... It's alright I guess, sure the storyline is a super cliche, seeing as every movie with either a talking animal or a magical creature follows the same plot-line as this one. A couple of the jokes weren't half bad, and I gotta admit seeing a teddy bear smoking from a bong is hilarious. The only thing that made me mad was that no one gave any credit to the Imagine This webcomic.
Spider-Man was... exactly the same as the Sam Raimi one. Ted was funny but forgettable.

Damn non-spider man fans... *grumblegrumble*
I borrowed Battle: Los Angeles from the library. Good acting, good action, not remotely enough of either.
Makes me really glad that libraries are free.

Yeah,...
Shit.
The Dark Knight Rises.
It is a masterpiece, a Magnum Opus I daresay. I don't think any other movie will even touch it for at the very least several years.

better than the dark knight???
I just saw batman year one
thats some hardcore shit fuck yeah
Yeah, I'd definitely say better than The Dark Knight, and I LOVE that movie as well. It's one of the best Trilogies ever.
Reckon the animated The Dark Knight Returns might out do it...
Little Shop of Horrors (1986 version). Awww yeah, felt like watching something I haven't seen in AGES~ (saw it when I was a kid on a movie channel once, if I remember)
Moon, with Sam Rockwell. Holy shit, was that a ride.

Still keeping an eye on the 'apparent' coming soon blu-ray release with the original ending restored (in colour).
+ Batman. To 100% avoid spoilers I'm putting my opinion in a spoiler tag, even though it has no REAL spoilers in it, just so nothing at all is spoiled. So don't click it if you haven't seen it.
Know I'm going to get shunned for saying it, but well - I didn't think it was brilliant. It was good but it was just so predictable that anyone with even the smallest bit of Batman knowledge (Bane, No Man's Land, The Dark Knight Returns, Ra's al Ghul) has very little surprises waiting them. I don't think it was as good as The Dark Knight Returns (which is what it should have been aiming to beat) and although it used a rich background of Batman history I don't think it did anything creative enough with them to make it it's own thing. Instead it felt more like it just borrowed various bits and put them together, but they never really melded. I'm guessing people who don't know Batman very well will really enjoy it but as soon as the words "clean energy" were spoken I guessed the whole damn plot. I also found the whole Bruce and Cat Woman relationship rather poor as well. Why would he be so trusting, especially now, it's almost as if he gets his trust in her from knowing he should trust her from previous Batman works - which of course makes no sense. His trust in her just felt unnatural to me. Will now accept your hate PMs.
