2011 Summer Movie Round-Up

As summer comes to a close, I thought I would do a post on the movies I have seen this summer. I counted an even ten. That’s a lot!

Something Borrowed– I thought this was okay.  As far as book to film adaptations go, it was kind of sub par.  John Krasinski was the best part of the movie, and he wasn’t even really in the book that much!
Water for Elephants– Looooved it!  One of my favorites on the list.  The book was incredible, and I thought they did a really nice job getting the story across while still trimming some of the more depressing elements of the book.
Thor– Better than I expected.  I thought the villain was really compelling.
X-Men First Class– Hands down my favorite superhero movie of the summer.  It was so good!  I love James McAvoy and I thought the whole cast was great.

Transformers 3– Brian and Transformers go way back, so it’s always fun to see these movies with him.  We saw this one in 3-D Imax which was pretty sweet.

Bridesmaids– Pretty hilarious.  Some scenes just went a little too far… like the whole trying on dresses scene.   I thought the cop was so cute!
Horrible Bosses– I laughed.  I’d give it a solid B+.  All three of the main characters were great.
Captain America– I liked how this was a superhero movie but still retro.  It was entertaining and I liked the WWII setting.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows pt. 2– BEST. HP. EVER.  While I am a self-proclaimed lover of Harry Potter, I’ve had my share of issues with previous movies.  This one was pretty spot-on.  I loved it.  It was appropriately epic.

The Help– This was another great adaptation of a great book.  I always lower my expectations when a book I loved is made into a movie, and this one far exceeded them.  Even Brian loved it!

All in all it was a good summer for movies, but if I had to pick a favorite…

HP wins.  Followed closely by The Help, and then Water for Elephants.
