-Narnia
-Harry Potter
-Jarhead
-Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
-Sin City

-Zathura
-Hide and Seek
-Wedding Crashers
-Kicking and Screaming
-Fantastic 4

The Bad
-Robots

-War of the Worlds (Too many plot holes)

What do you guys think?

Revenge to Bad, War to OK, and Fanastic to Bad and you've got my list. Oh and Potter to... OK.

And Jarhead + Sincity move to their own category - Excellent. Then again, I think I'm forgetting a lot of films.

If Kung Fu Hustle was 05, that is with Jarhead and Sincity.

Didn't really see a helluva lot of 2005 movies, but...

The Excellent
- King Kong
- Batman Begins
- Sin City
- Crash
- Kung Fu Hustle

The Good
- War of the Worlds
- Revenge of the Sith
- Mr. & Mrs. Smith
- The Machinist

The Bad
- The Island
- Fanastic Four
- Chicken Little
- Fun With Dick and Jane

The Awful
- Doom
- Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo
- Elektra
- Son of the Mask
- Alone in the Dark
- Stealth

.... okay, I didn't see those last three... I'm smarter than that. But you didn't even need to see those to know how bad they are...

The Good
-Batman Begins
-SW: ROTS
-Sin City
-King Kong
-Serenity
-Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
-War of the Worlds
-The Machinist

The OK

-Mr & Mrs Smith

The Bad
-Son of the mask (Worst movie of all time)

War of the Worlds is in 'The Bad' and Fantastic 4 is in 'The OK'?
I already know how DW will answer this:

It's not like War of the worlds is an original film. It was a remake and sometimes the disadvantage with remakes is that you have to work with the material you got. '05's version had the same ending as '53's. Spielberg kept true to the original and make a great 00's version of it. If anything you should be dissin' the original.

I was ok with the '53 version. At least it didn't make me say "WTF?!" every 10 seconds. Like, How the Video Camera still worked even with the EMP, or how they were the only ones in the united states smart enough to fix the car, or how the news team was able to record footage of the Tri-Pods, and then show it in the van to Tom Cruise's character. Or perhaps, How the boy who ran into the huge explosion survived, or much less made it to Boston alone before Cruise did.

I walked out of the theater more flabbergasted than entertained.

What? How were the humans the invaders on their own home planet?
