Best you've seen / Best you're looking forward to
Best I've seen (bearing in mind that I live in a little town with a (singular) two-screen threater):
"X-men 3", which I found to be highly... I think the word "craptacular" fits the bill. Really good SFX mixed with a really bad plot. I liked the fights, but it was like "Saving Private Ryan" crossed with "Fitzwilly".
Best I'm looking forward to:
"Dead Man's Chest". Because Captain Jack Sparrow is the greatest pirate captain EVAR!, and the trailers look awesome.

I saw Cars and it was probably one of Pixar's worst movies. Not that it was bad or anything... the premise was certainly bizarre.
I too am looking forward to Dead Man's Chest. That and Superman. woo-nelly.

Well, I haven't seen your pillaging, so I can't say much there... but your visage and speech more betoken Johnny Blaze than Long John Silver. Speaking of which... "Ghost Rider" has the potential to be a decent movie, but I have real trouble imagining Nick Cage as a motorcycle punk. And It's not coming out this summer.  |

Superman Returns was pretty good as far as super hero movies go. Probably not as good as the Spiderman series or Batman Begins, but not a bad film over all. Spacey did a great job as Lex Luthor.
Lots of Christian connotations, but nothing in your face like the final chapter of the Matrix Trilogy.
Clark Kent is an adorable character.

I haven't seen too many movies this summer, but just recently saw The Breakup with Vince and Jennifer. It was pretty funny- had a bit of a serious edge to it too which was un-expected. Most anticipated for me though is Strangers With Candy The Movie- it's been getting great reviews (not that I really care about reviews, but I'm happy for Amy Sedaris). It's in limited release now, and fortunately is coming to a small theater about an hour from me this weekend- I can't friggin wait!
Also- Dead Man's Chest does look hella cool. I loved the first one so it will be exciting.

If you haven't seen it yet: Dead Man's Chest kicks ass!
A warning for you: the movie doesn't end, it just stops on a sequel hook. If that's liable to irritate you, don't see it until the next one's out.
Good: Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp has this particular character nailed), Davy Jones (mostly CGI, but Cthulhu wishes he looked that good), ex-Commodore Norrington (convicingly portrayed as a slimey evil bugger).
Bad: Elizabeth Swan (less believable in this movie than the first... at least until she turns commie towards the end of the movie)
Ugly: The Kraken... but it's supposed to be ugly, so that's a plus.
