Top Summer 2011 Movies

Cowboys and Aliens was seriously underwhelming..just saw it 2 days ago. Not much personality from the leads (a surprise), some silliness about 19th century cowboys being able to fight aliens centuries ahead in tech...ugh.

RAMA
 
1) Rise of the Planet of the Apes
2) Super 8
3) X-Men: First Class
4) Captain America
5) Thor
6) Cowboys and Aliens
7)Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
 
From what I've seen to date
1. Rise of the Planet of the Apes
2. Captain America: The First Avenger
3. Thor
4. Kung Fu Panda 2
5. X-Men: First Class
6. Cars 2
7. Cowboys and Aliens
8. Green Lantern
 
I'm really shocked to see Planet of the Apes ranking so high on so many lists... I might actually have to see it this weekend!
 
I'm still going to check out Cowboys & Aliens along with Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Conan.

For now my order would be:

1. Thor
2. Captain America
3. Super 8
4. X-Men: First Class
5. Transformers 3
6. Pirates 4
7. Green Lantern
Updating my list since I've seen 2 of the 3 I mentioned.

1. Thor
2. Captain America
3. Super 8
4. X-Men: First Class
5. Cowboys & Aliens
6. Transformers 3
7. Pirates 4
8. Conan the Barbarian
9. Green Lantern
10. Priest

I still want to catch Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Fright Night as well. Those should finish out my summer
 
Frankly I thought this was kind of a mediocre summer for movies, overall.

There were some decent ones like Apes, Captain America, and Super 8, and a few diverting guilty pleasures like Cowboys and Green Lantern, but nothing I would consider truly GREAT. Nothing that really wowed me or blew me away like in previous years.

I've seen it since I made my last post, and it definitely was a knockout experience of the summer. Hollywood's been pretty thin on watchable blockbusters, but Apes made up for it.
 
I went into this summer wanting to watch a bunch of summer blockbuster movies.

I only ended up watching: Thor and X-Men: First Class.

Well maybe next year!
 
1. Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes (by a comfortable margin).

2. X-Men: First Class.
3. Thor.
(Both are great. First Class has the edge imo.)

4. Captain America (Very good mostly, dropped the ball near the end).

5. Um... I'm sure I must have seen some other good ones. Haven't seen Tree Of Life or Super 8, but they sound appealing. Neither Green Lantern nor Pirates 4 interested me.
