Matt deMille said:Despite what has been said, I think it's actually been a decent year for movies. I wasn't expecting much this year, so perhaps I was more easily pleased than I would have been otherwise. For what it's worth, here's the films I think were either better-than-expected or knockouts!
1) Kick-Ass (absolutely the best movie I've seen in MANY years)
2) Predators (finally a worthy sequel)
3) Iron Man 2 (good, and not just because my friend was in it)
4) Alice In Wonderland (I know a lot of purists hated it, but I thought it was fine fare)
I haven't yet seen Inception, A-Team or Prince of Persia however (missed 'em, catching Indy trilogy runs -- I love Hollywood theaters), but I've heard those are all pretty good shows.
A good half-dozen quality movies in a year when I expected maybe 1 or 2. I'd say it's been a good harvest so far, and let's not forget, TRON is still to come!!!!!!

I would have thought you'd get a kick out of Prince of Persia. I loved it!kongisking said:Trust me man, Inception is fan-frickin'-tastic. And have you seen Toy Story 3 yet? Unbelievably awesome.
I'm surprise nobody has brought up Shutter Island, which was also a stupendous flick.
In order, my picks would be:
1. INCEPTION
2. TOY STORY 3
3. SHUTTER ISLAND
Forbidden Eye said:1. Toy Story 3: Made me feel like a child again. Close to flawless. Pixar's 2nd best, just behind the original Toy Story. The only film this year I've seen twice.
2. Inception: Overrated, but still good. I think some people just wanted this to be a masterpiece because of how disappointing this year has been. It didn't quite blow my mind, but I was still enthralled by most of it, and it was fun reading what people on the internet thought, lol.
3. The Expendables: Just saw this. AWESOME. I don't care what the critics say, I think they were just out to get any movie which had masculine American heroes that weren't wussies or homosexuals. Govna Ahnold's cameo was worth the price alone.
Unlike others, I didn't think this year was THAT bad. I mean sure it was weak, but it was actually weaker last year imo. This offered more for me and didn't disappoint me like last year(then again, my expectations were not that high).

And The A-Team is the most fun I've had in the theater in a while
