I hate Michael Bay as much as the next guy, but Transformers was alright (yes, just alright, no better, no worse). Although Bay had an advantage going into something many of us were biased to in the first place making it easy to overlook plot holes and poor character development.

I wouldn't really consider Ratatouille and Knocked Up blockbusters. That said, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is my favorite blockbuster yet.

Who said best Blockbuster? It says best "movie".

He really did. The sly dog. Good luck to him, really, and I hope he makes a movie we can't say "bit cheesy though" too. He's like the most dilute form of creative talent Hollywood has to offer.

To be honest, I probably enjoyed Knocked Up more than any other movie I've seen this summer. I laughed my ass off the whole time.

Second place goes to either Transformers or Live Free or Die Hard.

Both were very entertaining, which is the main aspect of what I look for in a summer flick.

Knocked Up beats most of these movies IMO as well. I'm trying to think of what else I've seen this summer, because I'm surprised if Die Hard was the best I've seen so far.

Edit: Well, I just looked up what was released since May (summer really kind of started for me in May), and not much of anything that I really liked have came out.

1. Live Free or Die Hard
2. Knocked Up
3. Spidey-3/Transformers (I'm tempted to say I'm leaning towards Spidey but neither of these I found to be anything special)

When I think of summer movies, I don't think of quality films. I think of blockbusters - movies that draw you in because of explosions or large fan bases.

I don't know, maybe it's just me.

Its what I think of too, but it doesn't mean the other ones aren't summer movies. So what is your overall favorite in this case?
