As you can see, Toy Story 3 unsurprisingly grabbed the 1st position as the highest grossing movie of 2010. What do you think of this list?

I watched The Karate Kid, Shrek Forever After, Despicable Me, Harry Potter, Inception, Iron Man 2 and Toy Story 3. I would say that all of these deserve their spots although Harry Potter and Shrek deserve more than Twilight and Alice in Wonderland.

You forgot to mention Eclipse, since you told me you watched it. *shot*

Anyways, I watched the exact same list of movies that you mentioned (barring Eclipse, of course). I must point out that you can't say a movie deserves a better spot; after all, the positions are only being determined by the gross profit made.


EDIT: Boring huh? Here's your original post. *giggles*

Yeah, I forgot! I did watch it in summer. (When you watch a lot of movies, you do forget what you watch. >_<) But it wasn't nice at all. It was boring with the only action part in the last 3 minutes. I still can't believe it got higher than Harry Potter...

You do know this is based off how much money was made off it and not personal preference, right?

Yeah, it wasn't perfect but good, and when it is good then it has good boring scenes. I explained its good part; last part. Still, comparing to the other movies, it doesn't deserve its place at all.

Something I also really hate is the fact that all the movies that on this list, asside from The Karate Kid only got a boost of there sales because people paid extra for the IMAX tickets.

I watched Alice in Wonderland, Iron Man 2, How to Train your Dragon, Toy Story, Harry Potter, and parts of The Karate Kid, and my mom owns Inception, so I could watch it if I wanted to. Allow me to explain my thoughts of this list...

It's in spoilers because I talk about some ends, so be warned.

My Thoughts on Said List    
Karate Kid, IMO, has the worst ending in this list.  The whole ending in the original TKK was that he gets his leg broken, and he uses a move that, when he was taught it by Mr. Miyagi (pardon the spelling), he thought he'd never use it.  However, in the new remake, he, being Will Smith's son, used the same move, with some differences.  One, he never learned it.  Two, he did a back flip-and believe me, you can't do that with a broken leg.  And three, he hit the opponent with his broken leg, but feels no pain. I don't like it.  How to Train your Dragon is probably my favorite movie on the list.  I didn't watch it in 3-D, but I still loved it.  I really can't think of a problem with it, besides the fact the main character's name is Hiccup.  I never watched Shrek, so I can't say anything for or against that.  Same deal w/ Despicable Me.  Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, I did watch, however.  I loved how they managed to separate the book into two parts, with a great point of separation.  They did add some new scenes into the movie, but they weren't anything major.  The director did use an interesting type of animation for the part when Hermoine tells the story of the Deathly Hallows, which I found a good inclusion.  Inception, I never finished watching.  I got to the part when they were in limbo, but I was fading in and out the whole time until then, so I can't help you there.  I heard it's great, though.  Twilight, how unfair.  I would LOVE to watch it.  Sorry, I'm ah...how do you say it...a die-hard twi-hard, I believe the saying is.  I have all the books, and watched part of the first movie, but I never have been able to find the time to get any of the movies in.  Iron Man 2 was quite interesting,  a stark transition (get it?) from the first one.  It was a little darker than the first, but only slightly.  I liked the Russian dude, too.  Alice in Wonderland was sort of weird, and let me clarify things.   It wasn't based on drugs.  It was based on abstract math.  Anyways, the movie was kinda fun.  Like Dragon, it was different than the book.  The movie was different in that Alice battles the Jaberwocky, unlike the book.  Finally, Toy Story 3.  I liked it, that's true.  It was truely much darker than the other two.  Andy goes to College, and through a large amounts of antics, looses Woody & pals.  They go to a day-care, where the toys are in a Communist kind of society, in which the Stalin here is a giant, fruit-scented bear (pardon the horrid analogy...) who was accidentally dropped by his owner, which turned him bitter.  After everyone nearly dieing, the gang finds Andy, who gives the toys to a local girl who just moved in, and whom Woody has previously met.


Sorry if it's too long. I had nothing else to do.
