27.07.09 # Best Movies # 297 Comments5. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
Starring: Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Kieran Culkin
Director: Edgar Wright
Release Date: 13th August 2010
One of the greatest indie comic books in recent history, Scott Pilgrim, is an epic love story, a teen comedy and a bizarre action piece set in Canada. Influenced by video games, music, manga and real life it really is like nothing else. If you haven’t read it yet, you’re missing out.
Edgar Wright’s film adaptation stars Michael Cera as Scott Pilgrim, lead singer of crappy, unsigned band Sex Bob-Omb (that’s a Super Mario reference, n00bs), and Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Ramona Flowers, the girl of Scott’s dreams. Literally. He dreams about her, and then she shows up. In pursuit of her he has to fight her seven evil ex-boyfriends, evade his jilted ex ‘Knives’ Chau, and put up with Wallace Wells (Kieran Culkin), the gay roommate that he sleeps with (but not in a gay way). Made of win.
4. Tron Legacy
Starring: Garrett Hedlund, Jeff Bridges, Olivia Wilde
Director: Joseph Kosinski
Release Date: 17th December 2010
Tron was ahead of its time. Now is that time. While the first film amazed with its vision and FX, it still managed to bore with its pace, but on the basis of this concept trailer, the sequel has managed to get the balance just right. The plot sees Flynn’s son enter Tron to find out what happened to his father (Jeff Bridges) all those years ago. Looks spectacular.
3. Toy Story 3
Starring: Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Ned Beatty, Michael Keaton
Director: Lee Unkrich
Release Date: 18th June 2010
Pixar: the most dependable movie studio around. Coming off of Wall-E and Up, they’re returning to their roots, the movie that made their name, Toy Story. Ordinarily, threequels are something to dread, and unnecessary sequels to animated movies often feel every bit as superfluous as they actually are (yes, you, Shrek). But Pixar can (virtually) do no wrong at this point, and the first two Toy Story movies are such bona fide modern classics that you can’t help but be excited about the further misadventures of Woody and Buzz.
2. Iron Man 2
Starring: Robert Downey Jr, Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Mickey Rourke
Director: Jon Favreau
Release Date: 7th May 2010
“I am Iron Man.” How could you not be desperate to see a sequel after Robert Downey Jr delivered that line at a press conference in the final scene of Iron Man? In the superhero sequel tradition, this installment promises to be bigger, and has heightened fanboy expectations. Scarlett Johansson is Natasha – Tony Stark’s replacement red-head assistant now that Paltrow’s Pepper Potts has been promoted – she’s also secretly superspy Black Widow. Rourke plays angry Russian ‘Whiplash’, Iron Man’s nemesis along with Sam Rockwell’s Justin Hammer. Terrence Howard is probably (like the rest of us) still in shock after getting Cheadled, and Olga Kurylenko can’t believe she didn’t get Johansson’s part. She refuses to take the costume off, it’s kind of embarrassing…
1. Inception
Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Tom Hardy
Director: Christopher Nolan
Release Date: 16th July 2010
Nothing else could have been number one, not after 2008, not after The Dark Knight. It. Was. Awesome. Due in no small part to the genius of Christopher Nolan, a director with an enviable track record, who now turns his attentions to the sci-fi genre with Inception, a movie shrouded in Cloverfield-levels of mystery. We know Ken Watanabe is blackmailing Leonardo DiCaprio, who’s married to Marion Cotillard and works with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Ellen Page, but that’s it. Oh, and, it’s set within ‘the architecture of the mind’, which could mean anything at this point. Inception is our number one most anticipated on the basis of the acting talent involved, and the phenomenal director.
UPDATE : DECEMBER 2010
Those were our 20 most anticipated movies throughout the year. Now we’re at the end of 2010 we can see that some were disappointments (Robin Hood, Iron Man 2), some turned out to be plain terrible (Nightmare On Elm Street), and others were exactly what we hoped for (Inception, Toy Story 3, Scott Pilgrim).
Here are the top 10 movies according to critics this year (via Rotten Tomatoes):
1. Toy Story 3
2. How to Train Your Dragon
3. Restrepo
4. Exit Through The Gift Shop
5. The Social Network
6. True Grit
7. The Town
8. The Kids Are All Right
9. Winter’s Bone
10. The King’s Speech
And the top 10 according to the public (user voted on IMDB):
1. Inception – 9.0 / 10
2. Black Swan – 8.9
3. Toy Story 3 – 8.7
4. The Social Network – 8.2
5. How To Train Your Dragon – 8.2
6. Tangled – 8.1

What are your top 3 picks?
I tried to leave comments for 2010 movies releases but it never goes through. I think this list of films is great. I look forward to Tron Legacy, Clash Of The Titans, The Expendables, Iron Man 2. hope this goes through.
I think the A-Team will be cool especialy with Liam Neeson.
inception was hands down the best movie ive seen in a long long time
DUDE! deffinatly agree, was a great movie, one of few that had me thinking often enough to keep me interested till the end
My top 2010 movies would be:
5. Shutter Island
4. Hot Tub Time Machine
3. Toy Story 3
2. Kick-Ass
1. Inception
yep so right. Inception is the best movie of 2010, and all time
You lost all credibility when you listed Hot Tub Time Machine…..worst movie ever.
I completely agree……i’venever watched such a vulgar film!!
Jim Carrey as Murdoch in the A-Team would kick ass.
Well now that explains why the movie flopped!
hahaha
the books were the best but the movie wrecked them
what are you talking about?
I think that you definately need to have Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief in there. Some people are saying it might overcome the Harry Potter movie in 2010. How impossible that seems, yet it might happen.=)
I think the best 2010 movies order should go like this:
4.Iron Man 2
3.Robin Hood
2.Clash of the Titans
1.Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief=)
I just can’t wait for The Lightning Thief to come out!!! I’ve read every book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, and I know each of them from front to back!!!!
percy jackson and the lightening thief is awful!!
lol what are u three? that was possibly one of the worst book series ive ever laid eyes on next to Twilight. ooh and the movie sucked too
r u serious? percy jackson and the olypains was the best movie and books ever made.i cant wait until the next one comes out(if it even does.)
I’m so excited for these movies! 2010 here we come!

my top 5 movies coming out in 2010:
5. alice in wonderland
4. the last airbender
3. iron man 2
2. a nightmare on elm street (i know, i know…)

my opinion on what Inception is going to be about is something along the lines of “one flew over the cuckoo’s nest” or something that has too do with an asylum or generally crazy people…
i m so excited for these movies
I’m excited for Toy Story 3. I gre up the first film and now, at seventeen, I can enjoy a movie I’ve waited a long time to see.
Hee, hee. These are awsome! My top 2010 movie picks are…
5.Alice in Wonderland
4.Robin Hood
3.Avatar
2.Iron Man
1.Toy Story 3
I love Harry Potter, but I do agree there has been our share of animal and fantasy movies these days.
Thank goodness for Pixar.
what the..you forgot Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The lightning Thief..it will be way bigger than #1 whatever it is
my ideas
1. Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince Part A
2. (some Movie)
3. Toy Story 3
4. Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief
5. Nightmare on eLM Street
