#19 Get Smart

I have been looking forward to this show since the beginning of the year.

In the tradition of 'Spy Hard', but a bit more serious and well-blended, 'Get Smart' gives the best out of Steve Carrell, Anne Hathaway and The Rock!



Humour, at its stupidity, is not too low-class for the mass to appreciate!

#18 The Incredible Hulk

This is much more better than Ang Lee 'The Hulk' After all, Ang Lee is more suitable to do Brokeback Mountain and Lust Caution kinda movies, not so for summer blockbusters like Marvel superhero flicks!



This is good - simply one of the better Superhero movies in recent times! On par with Iron Man!

#17 Speed Racer

What can I say? 'Speed Racer' is visually appetizing.



From start to end, the whole screen is so colourful and things move so fast. Every sequence is well-choregraphed (though a bit exaggerated at times).

This big budget extravaganza is worth all the ticket price!

#16 What Happens in Vegas?

This is good. It has been a long time since I watched a Good Cameron Diaz show. She's still gorgeous and looks as good as she did in 'The Mask' - one of the first English movies in my life.



The plot is well-paced and the love chemistry builds up in a believable manner!

#15 Iron Man

Going into the cinema without much expectation (since the trailer is a bit cheesy), I came out feeling great about the 'Iron Man'.

As the first movie to kickstart this summer season, 'Iron Man' is definitely no Spidey calibre with lesser known stars fronting this tentpole picture. It's not a must see, but it's great fun watching.

#14: The Forbidden Kingdom

Visually this movie was pretty good, although not as lush and glamorous as you might expect. It felt kind of hazy, almost like the entire thing was a dream sequence (i.e. not very interesting to me).



Anyway, the only sequence that excited me is the 7 minute one-on-one fight between Jackie Chan and Jet Li.

#13: Three Kingdoms - Resurrection of the Dragon

It's just too close the 3 epic movies came to screens within 6 months (i.e. The Warlords, An Empress and The Warriors and this). And Andy Lau is in 2 of these. Luckily, he's in the better ones out of the 3.



Anyway, the adoption of the 3 Kingdoms story is a moderate effort. It's better than the Empress, but still not anywhere close to the Warlords. Andy Lau and Maggie Q acted rather well too.

I'm neutral on this. I still prefer The Warlords.

Trivia: The Chinese name of the movie is 'Seeing the Dragon taking off his armour'!
