Deathly Hallows 2 was my favorite film, followed by X-Men First Class and Captain America. I liked Thor, Transformers 3, Fast Five and On Stranger Tides equally. I was lukewarm to somewhat liked Green Lantern and Cars 2. I still need to see Rise of the Apes, watching tomorrow likely and Super 8. Of course I need to see every other movie released in the year.

I used to, but I realized my scores were often arbitrary and didn't reflect how I felt about the film in the grand scheme of things. Like I gave Sherlock a B+ and Hugo an A- when I came out of them but compared to the other films I've seen I didn't really think either was that great.

As for my reaction to Panda, I don't think any film disappointed me as much as that and Harry Potter did. The first Panda was loaded with energy and wit but I felt the sequel got bogged down so much in trying to be all "emotional" (and failing at it for me) that it forgot to be fun. All it did was leave me cold.

Ah. I feel the same way as you about the grading... I seem to always want to give everything a B+. Starting with Dragon Tattoo I've decided to switch to the number scale- that way I can make use of decimals and instead of viewing anything under a "B" as basically terrible, I think it can help me put everything on a more level playing field. Still deciding if I want to go back and rate all 2011 films I've seen this way or not...

I have question for you and Tribe, what were grades like in school? Because when I used give letter grades for films B's where good and had a C as an Average. Kinda reflects my grades in school.
