Love Avengers, Man of Steel, True Grit and Inception, but I'm going to go a bit off the rails and say:
Star Trek (2009)
This is a movie I watched over and over again and it is quite simply perfect. It's actually quite a bit like Avengers, in terms of that kind of four color technobabbly simple sci fi team up adventure. What puts Star Trek over the top for me is the sense of adventure and the balance of it. Kirk isn't even clearly the lead, but even when he is, the movie never becomes his vehicle. It's just well done all around.
I probably never would have thought of Star Trek, but I like where your head is there.
2009 was another really strong year for movies, IMO, just in a different way than 2007. It had Up, District 9, Avatar, Star Trek, The Hangover, and probably a lot of other stuff I really enjoyed but can't think of off the top of my head. So yeah, more of a blockbuster year, but good times nonetheless.
