FFA Movie Poll - 2010 it's countdown Monday! (1 Viewer)

[El Floppo]

Ditto Hot Tub 

Was a pretty weak year which allowed some weaker movies in there. For me both of those did new and different things than I'd seen before (compared to the usual recycled crap) and that was enough to rank them.

But since you're a critic- never too late to put down your own list and here and prove me and the others wrong.

That movie had so much potential and it was just crappy.

guy doesn't like it when I insult his movie. :/ 

I haven't seen a good chunk of these and I kinda hate the idea of rating movies that I haven't seen but I could find 25 movies that are better than Hot Tub that I have seen. In no particular order...

IRON MAN 2
RED
THE KING'S SPEECH
KICK-###
DESPICABLE ME
HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON
EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP
TUCKER AND DALE VS. EVIL
TOY STORY 3
THE SOCIAL NETWORK
Troll Hunter
Tangled
Rare Imports
The Illusionist
Legion
Four Lions
Everything Must Go
the losers
8: The Mormon Proposition
Valhalla Rising
The Other Guys
Fair Game
 

That's 22, and I haven't even seen Inception/Black Swan/true grit/the fighter/harry potter/others that made the list.

That said, and Its slightly a contradictory but I do remember enjoying it, although I'm fairly easy to entertain. It's been years since I've seen it and perhaps the taint of the sequel has tarnished the reputation of the original.

Thanks- good list.haven't seen some of those...and will stand behind my original ranking which included both And fwiw- ihave no affiliation or particular care about hot tub and pilgrim, just found them more interesting.

I think for the purposes here- we're not trying to compile a random assortment of critics' consensus best movies. The idea is to put our favorite movies from each year- and getting a sense of the FFAs general taste. Most of my favorites fall outside of the consensus...I can live with that.

I hope you keep joining us (we're doing 1989 right now in another thread) and stick with movies you've seen- otherwise how do you even know if they're good (for you)? 

A bunch of people doing this are taking the opportunity to catch up on movies they've never seen...which I'd love to do given the time.

#5  196pts

9/2

You didn't give a #### if I got killed by Mungin; now, all of a sudden, you're worried Sanchez is gonna hurt me? Why? I mean, come on, ****. 'Cause you're stuck in here and can't be the center of attention no more?

Seriously?

Wahlberg plays an aging boxer trying to catch a break and finally win an important match in an attempt to boost his career. In between the repetitive scenes showing him train, the audience is treated to a rambling screenplay (consisting primarily of totally dense individuals bickering and shouting) and the most irritating characters in film known to man. No cliché is left untouched; the white trash family members (E.T.), the love interest from the local bar (A space Odyssey) and of course the poorly shot boxing sequences (Groundhog Day, et al).

Words fail me to describe my perplexity as I try to make sense of the 7.8 rating this parody of film making has somehow garnered. I gave up on the reliability of this website's movie scores long ago, but people really need to get some perspective, it's becoming embarrassing..

THE FIGHTER

I found a free stream of The Fighter on Pluto TV of all places.  It had a handful of relatively brief commercial interruptions but kept all of its many f-bombs intact.

IRON MAN 2

[rest of list omitted]

1. Iron Man 2 isn't better than anything.  That movie was cover your eyes awful.  Hot Tub was better (and that's not saying all that much)

2. I saw both of the movies so I have an informed opinion.  How can you be ranking movies you haven't seen?

3. Hot Tub 2 was terrible.  Maybe you are conflating the two.

Iron Man 2 isn't even a bottom 5 Marvel movie.

LOL

Ok, bottom 5 Marvel movies... whatcha' got?

ETA: I'll wait.  I think it is going to take you some time to find a list where IM2 isn't in the bottom 5...

Also, You can't count The Fantastic Four starring DeBrie Bardeaux.

Thor, Thor 2, GotG 2, Dr. Strange, Thor3.  For me it's neck and neck with IM3, and would probably put in 2 first.  Incredible Hulk isn't great either.  So for me that's 7 I'd probably have lower than IM2.

Well uh ....

But if you do a google search and canvas a wider base, you won't find any (at least I didn't) that don't have IM2 in the bottom 5.  A few had it as worst of all.

How can you be ranking movies you haven't seen?

I didn't include any movies that I haven't seen.
