The only movie that really made much of an impact on me was Borat because it was so damn funny but I did like Superman Returns a good deal and found X3 to be pretty decent even though it doesn't live up to X2.
Other than those, as you can see I don't go to the movies all that much but I'm sure I'll be seeing most of the ones I've missed on DVD like Casino Royale, Pirates 2, Rocky Balboa and V for Vendetta.
Best film I saw all year .. Casino Royale, then Rocky Balboa, then I guess I'd pick Cars.
In chronological order I saw:
X-men 3 -- although I didn't like something about it, I found it very entertaining and true enough to the characters to watch it several times.
Superman Returns -- it also coulda been better I suppose (more action, less run-time while still not deleting some of those scenes; more upbeat ending) I loved it. Saw it 3 times in the theater, once in 3D also bought DVD.
Cars -- I love Pixar films but didn't think I'd get into this ... wow, it surprised me. Fantastic animation and heart-tugging too,and fun! I even liked Tow Mater.
The Prestige -- not sure what I expected; the film disturbed me but I enjoyed it and would recommend it.
V for Vendetta -- rented this one, and WOW! Great film.
Casino Royale -- blew me away, it totally lost the boredom and comic-bookness of recent Bonds.
Rocky Balboa -- fantastic end to the series and just emotional enough too.
Other flicks I saw ... Over The HEdge (entertaining but not Pixar quality), Ant Bully (boring to me), You, Me & Dupree (what you'd expect,good choice of actors in it, I like Owen).
I tend to like any movie I see. Anything that doesn't look interesting to me I don't tend to catch. Sometimes, my buddies toss me a film and I end up liking it, but usually if I want to see something I either like it or it was just okay.
What I Liked:
Thank You For Smoking
An Inconvenient Truth
16 Blocks
Lady in the Water
Good Night and Good Luck (was that 2006?)
What Was Eh:
Clerks 2
Cars
The Devil Wears Prada
What I Disliked:
My Super Ex-Girlfriend (started off kinda quirky and somewhat funny and... well, I'm trying to forget everything after their first date)
X-Men 3 (don't have to see it to know it's ass, everybody I know personally and whose opinions I trust said it sucked hardcore, worse than Gymkata)
Still Want To See:
Casino Royale
Tenacious D
The Prestige
Blood Diamond
Ice Age 2
Death of a President
Yours is the only positive Lady in the Water comment I've heard; hence I never rented it. Care to briefly elaborate why you liked it, in a nutshell?
Because it probably went over the heads of everyone who didn't like it. It was actually pretty funny and also pretty sad. I didn't expect much from it, but since M. Night is hit or miss with me, I figured it would be worth a shot to see. Glad I did, though. I'm sure people complain most about the "twist" in this film, but I don't believe anyone who says he didn't fool them and they're probably just upset because he did.
Lady in the Water was indeed awesome. I love how people freak out and hate on this movie. Makes me like it even more.
Pursuit of Happyness was also very good.
