I loved Inception. It's my favorite movie of all time. Additionally, it's more proof that Christopher Nolan can do no wrong.

I also saw Shutter Island. Really enjoyed this as well.

Those are the only two I saw that were the top 20 money makers.

[Michael Coello]

Last Airbender was okay. Never got all the hate for it.

Despicable Me was pretty good, but the ending was a bit lacking. Plus, musical numbers at the end need to die.

[forgottensinpwf]

I personally enjoyed Megamind alot more than Despicable Me, which I personally thought kinda sucked.

[Rumble McSkirmish]

Toy Story 3: Pixar does it again.

Iron Man 2: Had some good scenes but it kind of petered out during the climax.

Shrek Forever After: Not as good as the first, but a huge step up from the awful third.

Despicable Me: It was cute but nothing really laugh out loud funny, save for the scene where Gru backhands the Shark.

Megamind: Enjoyed it a little more then DM as it had few more laugh out moments then that movie, but then again I am little biased in the regard being a David Cross mark and all.

How to Train Your Dragon: A good little popcorn flick with some nice little touches. IE the cat like dragon.

Tangled: Skeptical going into it, but turned out to be an all right little movie.

Pft I'm an animation buff what can I say?

[The Sam]

I've only seen 6 of those movies (Toy Story 3, Iron Man 2, Inception, Tron, The King's Speech, Shutter Island).

[Red Impact]

I've only seen two of those movies.

Inception was pretty good, one of the better movies I've seen recently. I loved Toy Story 3.

[Bang Bang Bart]

If "The Last Airbender" wasn't based off of the Avatar franchise, and was just a fantasy film that M. Night Shymalan decided to do, there would be less hate for it.

As for the list, I've seen several of them and enjoyed those I've seen (Toy Story 3, Inception, Tron Legacy, How to Train Dragon, etc.)

[DSR]

Saw IRON MAN 2 and HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON. Loved both. ;D

[The Summer of Muskrat XVII]

I'll try to keep my opinions brief, because I saw most of them

1. Toy Story 3 (415M)- Beautiful ending to an amazing trilogy

2. Alice in Wonderland (334.2M)- Fun, enjoyable, but nothing special

3. Iron Man 2 (312.4M)- Really enjoyable, but definitely lacking compared to the first

4. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (300.5M)- Better overall film then the first 2, but nothing really happens. Everything at the end is the same as at the beginning except the Blonde chick is dead.

5. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 (295M)- Great movie, really enjoyable, sets up the finale without feeling like it left everything for the finale

6. Inception (292.6M)- Damn good movie, but not as great as everyone said. Not to say I didn't like it, but I felt The Town should've gotten the Best Picture nod over it

7. Despicable Me (251.5M)- Really fun kids flick, but nothing too special

8. Shrek Forever After (238.7M)- Can we just get to the Puss in Boots movie already? Still, better then the 3rd one tho

9. How to Train Your Dragon (217.6M)- Surprisingly enough, I haven't seen it

10. Tangled (199.7M)- Good movie, but nowhere near as good as Princess and the Frog

11. The Karate Kid (176.6M- didn't see

12. TRON: Legacy (172.1M)- Lotta fun, some of the best use of 3D I've seen yet. I actually really enjoyed this movie

13. True Grit (171.1M)- Awesome movie. Nothing to say that hasn't been said

14. Clash of the Titans (163.2M)- Didn't see

15. Grown Ups (162M)- Yawn. There were, at best, a handful of laughs here

16. Little Fockers (148.4M)- Didn't see

17. Megamind (148.3M)- Really good movie. Have to watch it again to decide which I liked better, it or Despicable Me

18. The King's Speech (135.5M)- Deserved every accolade it got. Bloody good film

19. The Last Airbender (131.8M)- Didn't see

20. Shutter Island (128M)- Really good movie, a tad predictable but really enjoyable none the less

[Sir Woodrow]

1.Toy Story 3 (415M)
2. Alice in Wonderland (334.2M)
3. Iron Man 2 (312.4M)
5. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 (295M)
6. Inception (292.6M)

14. Clash of the Titans (163.2M)
17. Megamind (148.3M)
18. The King's Speech (135.5M)

That's what I've seen and enjoyed them all in their own way

[Deleted]

1. Toy Story 3 (415M)
3. Iron Man 2 (312.4M)
6. Inception (292.6M)
7. Despicable Me (251.5M)
9. How to Train Your Dragon (217.6M)
12. TRON: Legacy (172.1M)

All the films I saw. I need to watch HtTYD again though, as when I saw it, I dozed off for about 15-20 minutes (don't fret, I was in a hotel room). It premieres on HBO I believe next weekend, so there you go. Out of the stuff I saw though was fantastic.

Either way, those are the movies I saw, some more enjoyable than others. I think Iron Man 2 was the weakest out of the bunch for me. It was enjoyable, but far from the first. And yes...I loved TRON more than IM2. Don't judge me.

[comahan]

I've seen 17 of those, with Karate Kid, Little Fockers, and Last Airbender not making the cut.

My friends and I do our own little 'Oscar' type thing, watching as many movies possible and ranking/grading them and what not before compiling results and doing our own awards, heres where those 17 that I saw fell in my rankings:

3. The Kings Speech
5. Inception
10. True Grit
17. Toy Story 3
18. How to Train Your Dragon
23. Tangled
34. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I
38. TRON: Legacy
39. Shutter Island
60. Alice in Wonderland
61. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
64. Despicable Me
66. Iron Man 2
67. Shrek Forever After
78. Megamind
81. Grown Ups
90. Clash of the Titans

[Bob Schlapowitz]

Heh. Forgot to put my own opinions in this one, too.

1. Toy Story 3 (415M) The best animated film I've ever seen.
2. Alice in Wonderland (334.2M) Not terrible, but should have just been called "Tim Burton Movie" since he's becoming a parody of himself.
3. Iron Man 2 (312.4M) Loved it just as much as the first.
4. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (300.5M) Will this s*** just end already?
5. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 (295M) Loved it. Possibly my favorite of the entire series (so far)
6. Inception (292.6M) Outstanding. Nolan can do no wrong in my eyes.
7. Despicable Me (251.5M) Amusing, but nothing special.
8. Shrek Forever After (238.7M) Not bad, better than 3, nowhere near 1 and 2.
9. How to Train Your Dragon (217.6M) Haven't seen it.
10. Tangled (199.7M) Haven't seen it.
11. The Karate Kid (176.6M) Stop it, Will Smith. Just stop it.
12. TRON: Legacy (172.1M) Haven't seen it.
13. True Grit (171.1M) The Dude plays The Duke! How can you go wrong? You can't! Loved everything about this one.
14. Clash of the Titans (163.2M) Cheesy remake of a movie that was cheesy to begin with.
15. Grown Ups (162M) Haven't seen it.
16. Little Fockers (148.4M) Haven't seen it.
17. Megamind (148.3M) Haven't seen it.
18. The King's Speech (135.5M) Got it recently, but haven't watched it yet.
19. The Last Airbender (131.8M) Piss off, M. Night
20. Shutter Island (128M) Well written, and well acted, but I figured out the "shocking twist" before the movie was halfway over.
