Average turnout last month. I know this isn't a terribly informative poll, but I work with what I have. Thank you to those who participated.
The winner with almost half the votes is Batman Begins. I saw it twice, and as far as the summer blockbuster type films go, it was definitely at the top of the list. It was great to see the character done right on the screen. I do like Burton's vision as well, but Nolan and Goyer have crafted a great version that focuses on the character of Batman more than the villains.
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith comes in second, and here we finally got a prequel that pays off. It actually had some emotional involvement, some great action and, believe it or not, intriguing characters. It's a shame it took this long to get that film.
Wedding Crashers was a big surprise, a funny R rated comedy that a lot of people went to see! How often does that happen? Not very.
For those who chose other, or who didn't vote, what do you think was the best of the summer?

"40 Year Old Virgin" should have been in that poll, although it may have been released toward the end of summer and on the cusp of fall.
That is all.

"here we finally get a prequel that pays off."
Here we get a film that isn't as bad as the first two shitstorms Lucas unleashed, so it got a free pass. If this had been the first prequel, it would have been seen for how horrible it is.

Mr. And Mrs. Smith was way better than Ep 3.

Awww, I really liked War of the Worlds. But Batman Begins really was the best movie I saw all summer.
