Good time for the thread now that Avatar has had time to sink in.
What did you like and hate about 2009 in terms of films? Best/worst films you saw? Films that were overlooked?
Best Film: Up
Starts on an incredible high and tapers off once being the explorer is introduced but still a phenomenal film. Shame it's the last new Pixar franchise for a while (and no Incredibles 2 either!).
Runner up: Cloudy with a Chance of meatballs
Brilliant imagination and it made me chuckle throughout without needing to resort to pop culture references for laughs (although it has some subtle references for the eagle eyed).
Worst Film: Transformers 2
A family film with 'square person gets high' jokes and a camera looking up every female cast member's skirt. Long, boring, you can't see anything in the action scenes because of the 2 second shots and mass of random metals, plot was wafer thin and stupid... I could rant for hours.
Overall I don't think it's been a good year for films the blockbusters have all been franchises (except Avatar) and I think only Avatar and Up are likely to be remembered.
