There is nothing else coming out this year that I have any interest in seeing, so I'm just going to call it: Predators is the best movie of 2010. I haven't enjoyed a single other thing directed or produced by Robert Rodriguez, including Planet Terror and Machette, so I was surprised that I enjoyed Predators so much. Even more than the original, I'd say.
The runners up are The Karate Kid—anyone who complained that it didn't have any karate in it was obviously too hung up to enjoy a really well done movie—and Let Me In. These are seriously the only three movies that were worth the money I spent to see them.
Alice in Wonderland was a typical Tim Burton mess—this guy hasn't made an original film since Beetlejuice; Scott Pilgrim vs. The World stars Michael Cera as Michael Cera; Iron Man 2 had all of the same problems as Spider-Man 2; and the only way Inception could be considered thought provoking is if the last movie you'd seen were Transformers 2. It was an incredibly disappointing year for movies, and Roger Ebert still thinks that he's critiquing art.
