Has the summer blockbuster lineup this year been a letdown so far?

Its been Great for me. Iron Man, Hulk, Walle, soon to be hellboy and Batman one of the better summers for me....


All but one are comic book adaptions.......
 
Hmmmm....

Wanted - pretty wretched, story-wise, and got tired quickly, visual-wise.

Hancock - 1st 45 minutes or so were great. As soon as it gave up on ANY humor, it dropped like a stone. Really - a great premise, and great initial execution, that really fizzled story-wise.

Wall-E - loved it in the theater, and immediately after... but a week later, it didn't seem quite so memorable

Get Smart - worst piece of crap I've seen in years. In all aspects.

Iron Man - worked; was entertaining. Not something really grabbing in hindsight.

I will get clobbered for saying this. Really, I'm cringing in the corner as i type, waiting for the rain of flames... but thinking back with perspective on all the movies I've seen in the last few months... The Happening is the one that remains clearest in my mind and that i'd find most interesting to see again.. that is, that still piques my interest even weeks after I saw it. For me, that makes it the best one so far...

I liked the 2nd Half of Hancock better than the first. But You might catch a beatdown for the Happening thing. :Drogar-Evil(DBG): Even though I did'nt think it was that terrible. I liked Wanted.
 
yeah as far as summer movies go I don't feel this year has been a let down thusfar, definitely not. how many other summers have you had both critical and audience favs? Hancock, from what I've heard is really the only letdown of all the releases.
