movies of 2008

Lots of movies were released in 2008.
Most of them did not have interesting enough trailers or advance press to gain my attention.
My favorites were surprises.
I expected my two favorite movies of the year to be Prince Caspian & Indiana Jones.
I did not hate them, but they did not capture me in the way I anticipated.
My favorites:
Iron Man
WALL-E
The Dark Night
Speed Racer

Movies I liked a lot but were disappointing at some level:
Prince Caspian
Indiana Jones & the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Movies I liked better than anticipated:
W
Twilight

Movies that were a major disappointment:
Mama Mia
