The Movies of 2008, Reviewed In Two Sentences

Are you on the fence about watching a particular movie, but too lazy to read a full review? Well then you’re in luck! This is my comprehensive list of every single movie released in 2008 that I've seen, and reviewed in two sentences or less!

*Note* All of the below reviews, represent my honest opinion on the movie and not a fictitious opinion. AKA, I only reviewed movies that I’ve actually seen. Also, all movies must have had a 2008 theatrical release to be on this list.

Indiana Jones 4 - Better than Temple of Doom, not better than 1 and 3. 7/10
Speed Racer - Embarrassingly terrible. Stay far away! 2/10
Zohan - Childish and stupid. Funny moments but overall bad. 5/10
Iron Man - One of the best superhero movies ever made! Funny! 9/10
Kung Fu Panda - One of DreamWorks best! Weak plot and funny moments. 8/10
Forgetting Sarah Marshall - A few funny moments, but mostly disturbing… 5/10
My Blueberry Nights - Slow paced and not for everyone. Portman disappoints. 4/10
Superhero Movie - Nothing special, just another spoof movie. 3/10
Run Fatboy Run - Not as good as Shaun and others. Charming British humor. 7/10
21 - Average Hollywood flick. Funny moments with a predictable storyline. 7/10
Drillbit Taylor –Face palm. Stay far away! 2/10
Horton Hears A Who - Charming and family friendly. Funny WTF moments. 8/10
10,000 B.C. - Average Hollywood flick. Shallow story, so so action, bad acting. 5/10
Semi-Pro - Moderately funny. Terribly written, plenty of unintelligent humor. 4/10
The Other Boleyn Girl - Great cast, boring movie. 5/10
Charlie Bartlett - Very funny film! Well written, great acting, original! 9/10
Step Up 2 The Streets - Great choreography, decent movie. Weak plot. 4/10
Spiderwick Chronicles - Best Nickelodeon in years. Bad acting, family friendly. 7/10
Jumper - Average Hollywood flick. Great cast, plot holes, and some humor. 7/10
Fool's Gold - Pleases the adolescent teens! Weak story, average flick. 7/10
Strange Wilderness - STAY AWAY. 0/10
Over Her Dead Body - Cute, charming, but fails to be a decent chick flick. 5/10
Rambo - Average Hollywood flick. If you’re a Rambo fan, you'll probably like it. 7/10
Meet The Spartans - Typical spoof movie. Nothing new, stay away! 2/10
Mad Money - Chick flick gone bad. Bad acting and story. 2/10
Cloverfield - Good for only one watch. Might cause dizziness. 7/10
27 Dresses - Best chick flick of the year. Chick flick overload! 7/10

Wow, of those movies I've seen on your list I would have rated them exactly like you did! You liked 27 Dresses!! OMG!! I heart you even more Timmy! :D Iron Man is definitely tops so far, but now I'm curious about Charlie Bartlett since you rated it so high. Will have to put that one on my list.
