You maybe wondering, does claws usually post these topics?  Well, I decide to jump in and steal the topic away from him.  He acted to slow this time!

Well, I recently posted in a different thread (the one on TIN TIN, I believe), that box office != goodness.

This list bears that out in spades.

Of the ones I've seen, my favorite is RIO.  I think it "deserves" to be higher than 18.

The fourth PotC was a big disappointment given the franchise expectation...fun enough for a night out but totally forgettable (not unlike #3, imo). 

Ah, well.  So long as crappy movies keep making the most money, that's what we'll get.

Only seen two (Bridesmaids & Super 8), still want to check out Rise of the Planets of the Apes and maybe The Help. Not very interested in the rest.

I've seen five - Pirates, Thor, Captain America, Bridesmaids & X-Men - and only two of those were in the theater.  I liked them all but nothing blew my mind. 
2011 was kind of a dull year, too many sequels, the bad movies weren't fun and the prestige movies were unmemorable.  I'm more excited for this year, with stuff like Prometheus, Django Unchained, Avengers, Moonrise Kingdom, and finally a non-sequel Pixar movie.

01. $381,011,219 - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2   

Saw it with someone.  It was all right but meant nothing to me, so kind of boring.

02. $352,390,543 - Transformers: Dark of the Moon   

This sucked.

03. $279,953,739 - The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1   
04. $254,464,305 - The Hangover Part II
05. $241,071,802 - Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides 
06. $209,837,675 - Fast Five
07. $191,809,187 - Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol 
08. $191,452,396 - Cars 2

Haven't seen any.

09. $181,030,624 - Thor

Meh.  The best part was the first fight at the beginning.  Also, the CGI looked really, really cheesey.  I can only assume it looked better on the big screen.

10. $176,760,185 - Rise of the Planet of the Apes
11. $176,654,505 - Captain America: The First Avenger   
12. $173,806,229 - Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
13. $169,591,130 - The Help
14. $169,106,725 - Bridesmaids   
15. $165,249,063 - Kung Fu Panda 2   
16. $147,366,986 - Puss in Boots

Haven't seen any.

17. $146,408,305 - X-Men: First Class   

It was pretty good.  Probably the best of the live action X-Men movies.

18. $143,619,809 - Rio
19. $142,614,158 - The Smurfs 
20. $127,004,179 - Super 8 

Not seen any.

Me neither.
The only 2 I have any interest at all in seeing would be RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES and CAPT.AMERICA.

I've only seen Rise of the Planet of the Apes which surprised me and I really liked it. Felt it featured good acting which is why I think it won me over. Still prefer the classic Ape films to it personally but felt pretty true in spirit to them on some levels, actually it kind of felt a bit like the classic original film in reverse. Want to see the X-Men, Captain America and Thor films all of which I've heard good things about. Have very little interest in the rest.

I saw 6 of these.  HARRY POTTER was the best and made my year-end top 10 list (though I admit that was a lifetime achievement award for the series).  The others I saw were PLANET OF THE APES, BRIDESMAIDS, X-MEN, SUPER 8, and MISISON: IMPOSSIBLE.  I actually enjoyed them all.  I've got no plans to see any of the 14 movies I missed.  I'm shocked that people continue to pay to see TRANSFORMERS films.  I guess this assures that they'll make another one.
