Ranking the Movies of 2008: The Mediocre Year

I purposely avoid movies I know I won't like, so that's why most of the lower ratings are empty. This was a fairly weak year for movies, with very few actually having any longevity, even those I rated at 8 or 9. I rated these as soon as I saw them, so these were my initial ratings.
