:shock:  I really believed all the negative hype that preceded its release and would still be thinking of it as a write-off if you hadn't mentioned it.

Now I plan to see it.  :)

Disappointment:

1. Man of Steel

2. Iron Man 3

Hopefully studios will realize that it's finally time to get off the goddam superhero bandwagon.

Epic fail:

1. The Lone Ranger

Summer is still not over yet, but my favorite movies thus far have been:

1: Equestria Girls: best crowd experience I've ever experienced in the theater.

2: Pacific Rim(would be one, if I would have seen the Russian team kick *** at least once. COME ON!)

3: Superman(good film, but the editor needs to be fired)

Still have high hopes for City of bones, especially after finding an extended clip lifted straight from the film.

Easily could be my favore sumer film.

slayers, I mean "shadowhumters", vs vampires vs werewolves vs demons vs super human nazis.

Add a little bit of controversal violence, incest, and homosexuality/bisexuality and I could have a hit. :D
