What recent movie vastly exceeded your expectations?
For me, it would be The Rise of the Planet of the Apes. I was expecting a dumb action movie. Instead, what I got was little action and excellent drama. Not to mention a meditation on our sheer destructiveness as a species.
Nothing so deep and philosophical for me. It was Tin Tin, and my biggest fear was removing him from a 2-dimensional comic book format. I was worried about putting him into a 3-d computer graphic movie, since the original art was a large part of his appeal. Thankfully, the movie was excellent, and true to the spirit of the original. I went home very happy.
Like Crewman6, nothing too deep for me either- but I watched Horrible Bosses and it was pretty good. I think most of the comedies out there are pretty terrible so I wasn't expecting much. But it was pretty funny, the plot was good and it was a good cast. Several actors got to play out of type, like Jennifer Aniston and Colin Farrell, which was nice to see.
"The King's Speech"
Though I love biopics and movies "based on a true story," it's not because they're cinematic, well put-together, good movies, it's because I want to learn more about the subject. However, "The King's Speech" checked all the boxes of a great movie: it had drama and comedy, visual texture, great performances and interesting characters, and it built to a great climax. It was a "10," when I was only expecting it to be a "6' or "7."

What's that recent movie where aliens have infiltrated the population by either replacing people...with their own, or sending their own. There's a blond woman playing a bureaucrat saying that they come in peace, but the point of the movie is that they really aren't. IDK if it has yet to come out,...
