Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest (2006): Davy Jones is really cool, but some of the Will and Elizabeth stuff begins to get dull.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl (2003): Fun and creepy. Barbarossa is the best "pirates" villain, and I look forward to him returning in the fourth.
Batman: The Animated Series (1992-1995): One of the best animated series of all time. Some of the best episodes are "Christmas with the Joker," and "Mad as a Hatter."
Batman: The Dark Knight (2008): Like the predecessor, it's generally too realistic to be fun. Christian Bale just gets worst, it's hard not to laugh at his "bat–voice." The Joker is creepy as hell, but I don't know if he's as good as Nicholsen's.
Batman Forever (1995): The visuals are garish and no one wanted to see Jim Carrey in spandex.
Batman Begins (2005): Christian Bale isn't that believable as both Batman and Bruce Wayne. The film is too realistic to be enjoyable.
King of Kong, The (A Fistful of Quarters) (2007): Inspiring documentary about a somewhat obscure area of fandom and sport.
Avatar (2009): Atrocious. It's boring, repetitive, preachy and the 3D isn't really that good compared to Coraline.
Aliens (1986): Trades the horror of the previous installment, turning it into just another action movie. Also, how come the aliens are now so easy to kill?
Alien (1979): This builds suspense brilliantly. The aesthetic is great, and Ripley is the greatest female character in fiction.
