Biggest surprise in 2008 for u?

[brentrent2779]

Just wondering about movies that surprised you in a good way or bad way. For me the biggest surprise was (Let the Right one in). i heard some good things about it ,so i rented it and its my favorite vampire movie of all time just ahead of Shadow of the Vampire. If u haven't seen it watch it...i got so into the two main characters and there world, and the pool scene is soo amazing and shot really well...just a great movie...

I'd say Wall-E, I saw over 30 movies in theatres last year, it's the only one I don't have on blu-ray.

Iron Man. I went in not expecting much from it nor did I know anything about his origin. LOVED IT.

Kung Fu Panda, never liked the Dreamworks animations, yet I love Kung Fu Panda

[Blu-Runner]

Hellboy 2, but only because I hadn't seen the first one at that time.

EDIT: I also have to show some love for the underrated Prince Caspian. Love the overall look and feel to that movie, and the blu-ray is top notch. I hope Fox doesn't screw up the next one.

For me was Slumdog Millionaire, never heard of the movie, and it was the movie that surprised me the most.

There were a lot of good surprises for me in 2008. It's hard to choose, but I'd have to go with Get Smart. I didn't expect to like it much, but I loved it and ended up buying it on BD shortly after that. Rachel Getting Married and Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist get honorable mentions since I couldn't just mention one. As far as my biggest disappointment goes, I don't even know. I try my best to forget about the crap. lol

incredible hulk

i expected it to be ok

but i LOVED IT, second favorite comic book movie overall (tdk first)

[spolcyc]

Iron Man. I have never been an Iron Man fan, just the usual Batman,Spider-man and X-Men, but I thought I would go see it just because it was a comic book movie. I don't think I blinked once. The movie was far better than any expectations I had.

+1....i thought it would be another fantastic four story...nothing great or spectacular, just "fun." boy was i wrong

Looking at my video list (for both DVDs and Blu-Rays), I've determined that about 50 of my titles were released in 2008, and many of these are favorites of mine. That's a surprise.

Of these, I think the only one that really surprised me was the new Thai movie "Chocolate." The action/stunts/fights were more brilliant than I imagined; the story was more touching than I thought it would be; and the characters were way better than I expected. I loved it.

Other ones would be "Waltz With Bashir," "Postal," "Wanted," and "The Dark Knight."

"Seed" was really a surprise too, but not necessarily in a good way.

I would agree. Really did not expect it to live up to the hype. It surpassed my expectations.

Agreed. I would have to go with Iron man as well. This movie was so much better than I was expecting.

Hd Dvd R.i.p.

Honestly, Role Models or Sex Drive. Trailers and commercials made both look like crap, but both are realy good comedies
