Cowboys and Aliens: I think I liked it more than the majority of critics did. It was basically all you could ask of a summer blockbuster about cowboys and aliens. Daniel Craig did a great job, I thought. Olivia Wilde's plot thread was sort of iffy, and the Ewok ending could have been better, but overall it was okay.
Hehe Ewok ending. But yeah, I pretty much agree. I didn't expect anything else than the film delivered. I had fun.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes: Haven't seen it. Heard good things. Never watched any of the Apes movies, so didn't really care.
Just saw that it is still playing in town, so I may catch it after all within the next week.
Green Lantern: The trailers looked like shit, so I passed.
Exactly
Conan the Barbarian: I also passed, more for lack of interest than anything the trailers did.
I thought the trailer looked at least visually pleasing, but from what I heard since it's out, it just sounds incredibly stupid. And I really like Arnie's original.
Harry Potter: I liked the first half of the ending better, I think, but even though this last part didn't quite meet my expectations it was still good enough. I liked it. I'm also glad the series is over so I don't have to watch a new one every year from now on. They were never as good as the books, but they were a worthy effort at capturing the series on film, and I'm happy that they turned out as well as they did. My girlfriend and I are going to do an eight-movie series marathon at some point when they're all available. It will be awesome and by the end my brain will probably have imploded from Harry Potter overload.
I think I am gonna get the whole box too once it's out and a tad cheaper. There were a few films that were not as good and magical as they should have been but the two part finale made up for a lot.

TF3, Green Lantern & Hangover 2 were varying degrees of terrible, IMO. Still haven't seen Super 8.
