This summers blockbusters, while some let downs (Pirates 3 and Shrek 3) and others ok but not living up to the high standards of the great originals (Spiderman 3), have been pretty good in my opinion. It has been a fairly entertaining couple of months and much better then previous years. Movies that I thought would tank given the competition (Die Hard 3, Oceans 13) have done very well and others that I thought were real long shots (Transformers) have done ridiculously well.

Summer movies are supposed to be about pure and simple fun. They aren't shakespear. They should however have plots (mild ones at least) and should be entertaining and I think this years batch have been the best (in quantity anyway) that I can remember in a long time.
