I am a film fan and the summer is always filled with a lot of trips to the cinema. There were a number of films we were really looking forward to seeing but so far we haven't seen anything that was more than just okay.

X-Files - really wanted it to be good but it was near enough rubbish

Batman - I loved the first one and this one wasn't bad but it just wasn't as good. I thought about it and I think that is because there was very little character study and development which made the first stand out.

Hellboy 2 - On top of being a fan of the first Hellboy I am also a world cinema person and a big fan of Guillermo del Toro's work. Hellboy 2 was okay and by far the best part for me was the visuals that you come to expect from a del Toro film. It just wasn't fantastic. Perhaps there just wasn't enough of the of the actual Hellboy character for me. To me it is the humor that was interlaced with the action that made the first film fun to watch.

Anybody actually seen a film this summer that was more than just okay?
