My Top 10 Movies I Saw This Year

Movies that were released in US in theaters/DVD this year that I saw.  One note is that I haven't seen X-Men First Class yet but I want to.  Some on this are not going to be agreeable to others.
10.  Green Lantern.  I didn't hate this movie a lot of people do.  I think they got a lot of characters right but story wasn't to great.  Well they tried to combine two villains into one and didn't work.  Probably would have been better if they had made Sinsetro the villain but still enjoyable to me.
9. Transformers: Dark Of The Moon.  I didn't hate it as some did.  You get what expect and if expecting anything else well you are going to be greatly dispointed.
8. Priest (At least uncut version on the dvd)  I heard this movie was bad and then watched the dvd.  It's really good but maybe dvd version is better cut then the one that was released in theaters.

7. The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya.  After the mess of season 2 and endless 8 Haruhi gets back to being what should be.  Fun.  Yes it goes a little to long but it is interesting story and it's fun.

6. Evangelion 2.22.  First Eva movie was straight adaption of the first several episodes of tv.  Well this one takes a extreme left turn at Albuquerque and doesn't look back.  With surprising twists and jaw dropping ending that left me waiting for third.
5. Harry Potter and Deathly Hollows Part 2.  Great end to great movie series.
4. Muppets.  Muppets return with a fun and enjoyable movie.  Jason Segal brings muppets back and proves again why is so funny.
3. Thor.  Never in million years I thought this would work as Live Action movie but it does.  It does what good x-men and spider-man movies before did. Stick true to source material while creating something new and does ever well
2. Summer Wars.  When I saw this it became instant favorite of mine.  Why?  Fun characters, interesting plot, great drama, climatic ending that left me holding my breath to see how it ends.
1. Captain America.  Much like Thor it stays true original source martial while creating something new and fun.  Chris Evans plays both geek Steve and Cap great.  He got the character.  It wasn't perfect but Captain America finally came alive in a way that truly respected the source material and set Avengers movie next year.  :)  Even possibly set up a squeal for itself with the return of Red Skull if he doesn't show up in Avengers.
