Movies I've seen so far this summer:

The Dark Knight - B+. Suffered from the same flaws as its predecessor: too long, one villain too many, and Rachel Dawes wasn't quite right. More enjoyable upon rewatch because the plot threads really come together.

Hellboy II - B. Stunning creature effects and compelling characters made the somewhat humdrum plot enjoyable. I was surprised by how much I liked it.

Iron Man - B+. Great characters, great humor, and great "superhero discovering his powers" scenes, but the climactic fight was unforgivably boring. I look forward to a sequel with better action sequences.

Kung-fu Panda - B+. Hilarious kids' movie. I went in not expecting to enjoy it but ended up quite entertained. The plot reminded me of Mulan except with animals.

Wall-E - A+. This was simply too charming. My only complaint is that it wasn't long enough.

Wanted - B-. Full of enough gory action scenes to satisfy almost anyone. The plot, with THE LOOM OF FATE, was lame and predictable, but James McAvoy and Angelina Jolie were pretty enough so that I could overlook that.
