28 Weeks Later (2007)
The first movie was brilliant, but this installment...
Was average at best.
I'm really tired of the stupid things people do in most horror films. This film is no different. The horror films that I consider as really good don't need to have idiot characters doing stupid things to keep the story moving. Death shouldn't need a dumb mistake or a poor decision as a catalyst.
The effects were really realistic, the story even plausible; not that it needs to be. The speed of the virus' transformation however, was inconsistent with the victims and a little faster that what one would expect to be believable.
Average at best.

The Incredible Hulk (2008)
Good movie...
Wow...
What a good comic book movie.
I thought this film had good dialog, strong storyline and good action as well. The special effects were not nearly as hokey as they were in the last movie. I'm glad the movie was true to the comic. It made it very fun to watch. With references to others in the comic world storyline, I foresee more movies in the future having the Hulk character in them, as well as team ups.
If I had to find one thing that could have made this and all Marvel movies better it would be dropping the Stan Lee cameo's. Also, I think the time has come to retire Lou Ferigno from the Hulk franchise. If you have to through a dog a bone, just give it to him, don't make him do tricks.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)
The movie is not bad, but...
This installment was fun to watch, but I found myself rolling my eyes whenever there were references (and there were many) of Indy's age and past. What's with the picture and memorial moment? Was that really necessary? The villains were not strongly portrayed. They didn't have enough lines nor were the lines the had that good. They could have concentrated on the legend a bit more. There wasn't as much treasure hunting in this movie as there had been in the others. There was, however, plenty of action throughout the film. I'd recommend this movie with a caution of: "Don't expect it to be as good as the others..." Seven out of Ten
