Movies of 2008

Best animated feature this year, and as on 2007, another Pixar movie is the one to get me on the first half of the year (Ratatouille last year). Very imaginative and a very poignat ecological message. Great animation and characters, I can't believe this is almost a silent movie in the XXI century! I loved that. Hundreds of movie references make this even better.

I was on my trip through Europe, but still had to find time to go and see this! And it was worth it. The best cast of the year, Bale made it once again, Ledger stole the whole show. What I really loved was the sound effects, mindblowing. This is the way an action film has to be made, great job Nolan!

It required a second viewing for me to realize what a masterpiece this is. You take a super-hero movie and mix it with great direction, great script, and Heath Ledger and you get a -Silence of the Lambs- thriller, in which the Joker steals the whole show and launches Ledger to immortality. From 4*1/2 straight to 5*!!

Hilarious mess of characters that connect each other throughout the movie. Brad Pitt makes one of the most annoying characters, performances are OK, John Malkovich steals the show. Fun movie to watch!

It actually surprised me! I was expecting a c$@ppy movie, mainly by the trailers (ironically) that made this movie seem as a non-sense stupid jokes flick. But it is something more. It's actually very entertaining, with amazing battle scenes, and original animation! A must see this year.

Visually fantastic, funny and with a moral = perfect recipe for a Best animated feature nomination? Maybe... Finally a good film based on a Dr. Seuss's story! By the way, excellent sound effects! It really has something!

I'll definitely listen ABBA for the next days. Not the best, but the most entertaining and cute movie of the year. Has a natural sparkle that makes it a magical movie, that will transport you to the 70's when ABBA was leading the dancefloors.
PS: Meryl Street can definitely do ANYTHING she wants.

A little boring, but visually stunning film! Norah Jones was a complete mess, though I still like her singing :)... Rachel Weisz good as always... I don't know, it has something.

Entertaining, decent visual effects, but amazing sound! Though I don't really liked the "funny twists" in some scenes (if you watched it, you could understand me), I think the script was good, not a stupid non-sense parade as most superhero movies. You'll enjoy it...

Welcome back Indiana Jones! Though this wasn't as good as ANY of the 80's movies, it still is one of the most entertaining. I liked the kind of feel Spielberg tried to make, like mixing this decade's feautres with the original ones, I kinda felt watching this in the 80's!
I loved the cinematography, I expected nothing less from master Janusz Kaminski. There were some breathtaking scenes. Some clichés, but hey, it's Indiana Jones! And you won't expect everything to seem real and natural.
Cate Blanchett makes a masterful performance, as always. Karen Allen makes a special appearance once again. 100% Indiana Jones!

I'm predicting: best special effects oscar 2009! Though it hasn't the "magic" that the first movie brought, and kinda transformed it into a "war movie", but the book is more like it... The creatures seem very real, specially Aslan. The close-up shots of the lion are majestic.

Keeps you entertained... but I think I would never remember watching this movie in the future.

Ummm no, i really did't like it... It wasn't that funny. But still, Mila Kunis looked like the sexiest woman alive :)

There it goes, worst movie I've seen in a while. 2008 started with the left foot. I just couldn't stop laughing (it wasn't even funny...) I would not recommend this film to ANYONE. At least sound was pretty good, but that's it. Don't watch it!

I could see this is going to be one of the best film of the year.

I hope this movie to be good, 'cause I really love the book...
