Wolverine could have did better, if not for the piracy saga...

And i expected Star Trek to do at least 500M like Iron Man...

[Brother Jack]

Uh, yeah.

 

[Fanticon]

I'll only judge what I've seen...because obviously I will never be caught dead watching crap like Alvin And The Chipmunks 2. So just assume that I've not seen those types of movies and don't plan to. Ever.

Ok so my tops of 2009...only what I've seen and in no real order...
Hurt Locker
District 9
Star Trek
Avatar
Hangover
500 Days Of Summer
Watchmen Ext. Cut
Zombieland
Adventureland
Sherlock Holmes
Inglorious Basterds
Away We Go
Public Enemies (gets a pass just barely)

Overrated:
Up
Paranormal Activity

Meh fests and disappointments:
Transformers 2 (though I was entertained in IMAX only @ Midnight show)
Terminator Salvation...it lacked two things...a good story and a hard R rating...dvd's R rating was about as impressive as Die Hard 4.
Underworld 3...if only Len Wiseman directed and it had a bigger budget.
Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince...WB's officially doesn't give S*** anymore. They just wanted it made as fast as they could.
Wolverine...not even the return of Bryan Singer for First Class can save Xmen from Fox can it?

The straight up WORST that I saw...
GI Joe
and Halloween II.

The rest is all a blur. But there were still plenty I did not see

 

[That-Guy]

Wow, a lot of you guys really hate Paranormal Activity. Overrated or not, I thought it was a pretty good scary movie considering the shoestring budget. I also thought the actors were good. Maybe it wasn't the Most Terrifying Movie Ever like some people claim it to be, but I'd rather watch Parnormal Activity than dogsh** like The Unborn any day of the week.
