Sherlock Holmes was....."ok". Im a huge fan of Guy Richie and his films, but this movie was just lacking....something. I cant quite put my finger on it, but whatever it was certainly not there. I enjoyed it though...no doubt about it.

Only four movies I've seen that have come out this year are inglorious bastards, the hangover, up, and avatar.

Avatar looked cool, but bored my to death, not to mention the laughably shitty dialogue.

The Hangover was pretty funny, I loved inglorious bastards, and up was actually surprisingly good.

However, my best movie for 2009 is the Godfather, which I happened to see for the first time just a few weeks ago. I don't know how a movie that came out over 30 years ago can easily top 90% of the shit that comes out today... The scene where Michal is grabbing the gun in the bathroom was literally the first movie is ages to get my blood racing and my heart pumping. No movie has ever drawn me in like that before... Most of the time when I watch a movie, to keep myself interested I try to predict plot twists/who dies, didn't happen during the Godfather. The movie pulled my in for the whole time, much easier then Avatar or any other new movie.

And why would that come as a surprise? We have not fundamentally changed in 30 years. It is probably true that it topped 90% of the shit back then also. There were good and bad movies made in the 70's, and every decade since then. Don't let it come as a surprise that good artists existed before you were born.

I actually saw the Godfather for the first time myself about 3 years ago. I need to watch it again.

Sherlock Holmes was awesome but it didn't have that much action, it focused more on comedy.

Inglorious basterds sucked sooo many balls...horrible storyline...or rather, horribly played out.

Typical ADD teen, can't follow dialogue for more then five minutes.

Inglorious Basterds was my favorite of the year, Christopher Waltz (Col. Hans Landa)'s performance was fucking brilliant.

I saw moon, it was good but it moved sooooo slowwwwww. Shit myself in the end though. Kinda reminded me of Henry Poole is Here

Inglorious Basterds is overrated plain and simple. It was an ok movie, but nothing that blew your mind like some people seem to think.
Rather watch the 1978 film " The Inglorious Basterds " again.

I didn't really see anything that great this year.

The dialogue with col. landa was fucking amazing, there was no overrating that, that's why he took home the golden globe for supporting actor and he'll likely take the Oscar too. If you watch it more then once and you pick up on all the foreshadowing this guy does, you can genuinely hate the character.

The guy was fuckin amazing...simple as that

The dialogue and acting was as good as it could have been in Inglorious Basterds but Tarantino needs to check himself. When you have 2 scenes of people sitting at tables taking up 2/3 of your ACTION MOVIE you have a problem. The movie seemed less like an attempt to make a really good movie and more like Tarantino trying to show off.
