Quick Reviews of Movies I Didn't Write About Yet

If im not mistaken the last movie I wrote about was X-Men First Class.  So since i've seen pretty much all of the big movies this summer lets do a quick mini recap.

Super 8 - awesome: the movie is an homage to E.T. Spielberg, and it works, all the kids in the movie are great in their performances, and its creepy and funny at the same time, though to be honest i was a little underwhelmed with the monster.
Transformers Dark of the Moon - Pointless Awesome: Since the 2nd was so abysmal, I wasn't expecting much from this 3rd part, but I was surprised, sure the plots stupid, sure lots of shit gets blown up, but it was good, and entertaining, and as far as a michael bay movie goes it was great.  I loved it. 
Captain America - better than expected: extremely amusing, and humorous, with some interesting plot points, and good acting.
Cowboys and Aliens - from greatness to mediocrity: the first 20 - 30 minutes are the best and then it goes into routine alien invasion movie territory, but very well done nonetheless.
Horrible Bosses - Hilariously dark - just as i've said, i laughed my ass on, all the actors surprise you, and excel in this movie which has some great set ups and pay offs. watch it!
Rise of the Planet of the Apes - exceeds expectations: just saw this one, it was a lot better than i expected, and kind of scary, but i was invested in the story of the chimp caesar, very good stuff, and hats off to the motion capture team and andy serkis for making the ape a worthy protagonist.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 - Great but emotionally underwhelming for a finale.  not much else to say about it, it was another well done, and entertaining harry potter movie, nicely wrapped up but i left wishing there had been more to it.
