Fantasic Four 2, Die Hard 4 and Harry Potter 5

A summer of sequels full of CGI. I can only look forward the The Bourne Ultimatum and a Paul Greengrass blockbuster that does not rely on the computer.

Fantastic Four was an expected disappointment. Incoherent with no story behind a succession of set piece stunts and explosions. However Die Hard 4.0 was terrific entertainment. There was a story, the script was OK and Bruce tried his best to reprise action man John McClane.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix did pretty well given a thin storyline from the fifth book. The child actors are growing up, and Emma Watson has been overtaken in the acting stakes by Daniel and Rupert. But the highlight for me was Evanna Lynch as Luna Lovegood. star is born.
