if not, ill sum it up.  My problems with The Social Network are:
1)  Is slander by making up all sorts of ridiculous things (like Zuckerberg's blog about his ex) about real people
2)  Treats underage (and very excessive) drinking as perfectly normal and okay, and drug use as pretty routine too
3)  Has an absurd representation of the US court system; did not get into any real facts about the court cases
4)  States that the internet is a symbol of societal disconnect, not a new way for people to build relationships.

This x 1000  It was a scene for scene straight rip-off of the original but they managed to do it in such a way that all the soul was sucked out. Such shallow, superficial bs with over-the-top special effects. Am I really supposed to support an old guy who helps a kid beat up other little kids? At least in the original the kids were in high school. The age of the children was far too young and they tried to force a love story in there that was far too silly. (One they're too young, two she was way taller than him, three I know Chinese parents and there's no way in hell the father would have turned into a nice guy after Dre read the note in butchered Mandarin). Half of the movie could have been cut out as it was just a way for Beijing to show off all its architecture. I could have gotten better out of national geographic. Also, jacket on, jacket off (kinda gross to hear an old asian guy say that to a little american kid) was a horrible substitute for wax on, wax off. Oh, and the whole 'tragic scene' for Jackie Chan was so contrived and done to death. They seriously couldn't come up with something aside from the car accident angle? Mr. Miyagi's pain of having a wife die at childbirth along with the kid was far more tragic. "

i am curious as to how many Asians you know, because I don't see how you could get a represenative sample of the entire Chinese population.

" @Violet-Eyed Dragon: no tron ? that was a cracking film "
it was good, but not as good as these movies.  @DH69 said:
"

well, while i do love a fellow avid movie goer like myself (saw atleast 100 in 2010)

 

i got say i disagree with quite a few of these

 

karate kid?! hahahahahahahaha 
 
legend of the gaurdians was pure crap, just another movie marketed to children who will see anything with a talking animal

 
extrodinary measures was boring overly predictible drivle purely designed to attempt to tug at the heart strings.

  
the last exorsism is something we've seen a million times, barely bridging the gap of "ooh that was startling" moments

 
book of eli was overly preachy, and its more deserving moment is the nice little obvious twist they give near the ending

 
let me in was just another perfect example of a GOOD foriegn film, being remade just because americans were to lazy to sit through a movie with subtitles and "people talkin funny" (and this year we get to suffer through a americanized version of girl with the dragon tattoo, a swedish film made not even 2 years ago...yay)

 
and finally toy story 3...really? something we've sat thru over and over again, while it is a good enjoyable movie it doesnt do anything but prove pixar, dreamworks, and disney will do anything to beat a concept to death

"
glad to find a person who loves movies too (are you on screened?)
anyway, i am curious as to what you would put as replacements for these choices.

" Book of Eli sucked along with Karate Kid.  Toy Story 3 for me :D "
why do you think BOE and TKK sucked??
 
@John Valentine said:
" No Inception? "

i think inception didn't adequately explain why the protagonists were heroes.  the whole inception thing seems very wrong.

" nothing on that list is better than inception imo btw i think the king speech came out this year >.> "
actually the king's speech came out in limited release (in the us and uk) last year thats how it was eligible for the oscars.  it didnt get a nationwide release in the us until january, though.

" The book of Eli for me. I also think Toy story 3 was really good, but it's also overrated. "

glad you agree that the book of eli was awesome.

" interesting... The Karate Kid would be my Number One film of 2010...  "

@Darkseid Elite said:
" Only movie I liked in 2010 was Harry Potter. Didn't really like the movies that were available that year. 2011 is gonna be a good year tho. "
yeah there already have been some good movies from 2011.
and i liked harry potter it was just half a movie so hard to judge.  i bet ill like the final one even more.
