      What are your favorite and least favorite movies of '09 and why

      '09 was an interesting year for the cinema. Oodles and oodles of movies came out during that year. For those of you who have trouble remembering the excess oodles, here's a link to a list.

      Least Favorite:

      G.I. Joe. The acting was terrible, the CGI was laughable, the story was a horrid Frankenstein abomination, with scenes ripped off from everywhere. All around bad movie. Not much else to say.

      Honorable mentions include:

      -Ninja Assassin for being ridiculous in a retarded fashion.
      -Daybreakers for being good for the first half hour then crashing and burning and dieing like a Navy pilot.

      Most Favorite:

      Inglorious Basterds takes the cake on this one. After seeing many, many WWII movies, I was a little skeptical going into the theater on this one, but I was pleasantly surprised. The acting and dialogue were phenomenal. It focuses on the interactions between characters in a way that grips you and doesn't let you go. I respect Quentin Tarantino so much for this movie and now I can see why his other films are so highly revered (this is the only one of his I have seen).

      Honorable mentions include:

      -The Road for being great if not phenomenal in every aspect it attempted except for the fact that it was depressing as fuck.
      -Ponyo for inspiring childlike whimsy though I'm not a child.
      -The Men Who Stare At Goats for being consistently funny with good dialogue, though lacking somehow.

      I saw both ninja assasin and G.I. Joe. Ninja assasin was to violent for me, and pretty much just about violence, while G.I. joe was yes like you said way to much cgi done badly.

      I did not see any of the ones you thought were good

      But i really enjoyed Avatar I guess hangover was pretty good.

      I don't go to the movies much

      I don't know about worst, but District 9 was amazing.

      Avatar was good, but over rated by a longshot.

      By far, Mothra (in all of it's forms) is the worst kaiju of all time.

      Off the top of my head, Inglorious Basterds was captivating for the reasons you gave; the dialogue was amazing. Everybody's saying that Nazi should get the oscar. It was also incredibly stylish and very funny. Brad Pitt was awesome as always.

      Up was another Pixar masterpiece. Beautifully scripted, animated, acted, everything.

      Avatar was amazing, I've never had a film experience like it. Just miraculous.

      Worst movie; I'm not sure if it was this year but I recently watched Transformers 2. I haven't seen the first but this movie was a pile of crap. 'Explosionexplosionexplosionexplosion' nonfuckingstop for hours and hours. It was actually uncomfortable to watch.

      Pubic Enemies was pretty bad too.

      I feel like I need to see transformers 2 so I know why it's being bashed so hard. I actually liked the first one, but I'm a sucker for robots.

      Has anybody else seen The Road? It's a great movie, but it only came out in select theaters, so I wouldn't doubt that only a handful of people on Earth have seen it.

      Xei beat me to it! Transformers 2 was so bad, i didn't even bother staying to watch the whole movie.

      my favorite would have to be either Knowing or Avatar... which almost had the same message to them, though most will think me "lame" for it.

      Least favourite.. I don't really see many movies I don't like.
