Top Ten Movies of 2008
7. Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
I definitely liked this better the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. The problem is that it was a majestic looking movie, based on a classic story with a mediocre screenplay.
6. Get Smart
As a huge fan of the TV Show, I'm always skeptical about movie versions. Get Smart falls in the middle. I liked it but it definitely is not the Get Smart I loved as a child.

Welcome back, Carrie and company. A nice long episode of a great TV Show

4. The Happening
I hope this is the last M. Night surprise ending movies, because the gimmick is overdone. That said, I liked this movie. Even in it's most scary moments and I really don't like scary movies, I like what I was watching. I liked Mark Walberg's every man role. No super hero here.

3. Wall-E
Had to see this at home. Loved Wall-E the character, but felt the movie dragged a little in the second act.

2. Iron Man
Another comic book done right. I believe that if you embrace the essence of the comic book you'll have a good movie. In this case, it's the idea that a rich engineering genius has to overcome himself and accept the destiny he's given.

1. Batman: The Dark Night
With Heath Ledger's passing, the true greatness of this film may be tainted. This is truly one of the best comic book movies of all time.
