Fave movies of 2008

In this topic put the films you thought were the best ones of this year
you can say why to
though its not essential

I thought Iron Man and Kung Fu Panda were pretty good.

I liked Prince Caspian, but I would hardly call it "The Best".

I haven't seen The Dark Knight or Quantum of Solice, although I want to.

My top 3
though i haven't really given much thought

Dark Knight (you can see why if you check my review)
Iron Man (i'll write a review of this soon)
Tropic Thunder (read the reviews dammit )

Dark Knight
Cloverfield
Quantum of Solace

I never saw Tropic Thunder. Anyway, in no particular order

The Dark Knight
Cloverfield
The Orphanage
There Will Be Blood
The Incredible Hulk

Some of those 2007 films, but they weren't released in the UK until 2008.

And yes, I rate The Incredible Hulk over Iron Man.

ZOMFG you thought hulk better then iron man o_O

If Iron Man had a better final 15 minutes or so it would have massively improved the whole thing. Very anti-climactic I thought. Still good though.

robert downey jr.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>you>ed norton

He was good. Not enough to make up for the poor climax though.

you climaxed watching ed norton ewwwwwwwwwwww

Hulk vs Abomination >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Iron Man vs Iron Monger

true dat

but rest of iron man>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> rest of hulk

hulk with purple pants could've won me over but they didn't do it

They made fun of it though. >_>

yeah but it was perfect
and he didn't have a solution outside of it
he could've said these trousers are stretchy to

Liv Tyler did say that. Said they were the stretchiest pair she could find.

hulk minus purple pants is not as visually awesome though

and seriously its ont like it was something that needed modernising

Eh. It's not something that bothers me in the slightest.

me neither

on another note
i just found robert downey jr way more interesting
him being on screen mostly on his own was way more then anything ed norton managed
i also weren't even sympathetic to norton at all

Downey was certainly better than Norton.

My fave of the year is Kung Fu Panda, closely followed by Cloverfield, and then Iron Man. Yes, that's right, no Dark Knight, and definitely no Quantom of Solace.

I preferred Iron Man to Incredible Hulk overall, and even though I agree with Nonny that the climax of Iron Man was rather unsatisfying, the same could be said about Hulk vs Abomination. It was massively one sided, and when Hulk got his anger boost he smashes the ground and then chokes out A-bomb rather than beating him senseless. Not what I wanted to see! In any event, it was a much better movie than Ang Lee's Hulk.

I quite liked Norton's performance as Banner, and I think that the reason Downey Jnr perhaps comes across better is that his character is simply much more interesting.

I think its also because downey was born to be in front of a camera

Also, The Fall.

Iron Man
You Don't Mess With The Zohan
Pineapple Express

No Dark Knight. The movie was good, but wasn't as great as people hyped it up to be.

The Mist would've been one of my favourites of 2008 if it wasn't for the awful ending.

Zohan was good?
