I'll go with Tron.
-
I'm going with Inception.

Darn it, I haven't seen some of these yet, like Tron Legacy (which I DO want to see), Narnia, and a couple of others, so I can't say.
I know it's definitely NOT Harry Potter 7, there hasn't been a good Harry Potter movie released since Harry Potter 2, and that one was only okay. I also doubt it'd be Shrek 4 too. And Ironman 2, as it just wasn't as good as the first one. :|
I have a sneaking suspicion that once I've seen a few of these, though, it'll be either Tron Legacy or How to Train your Dragon (the latter of which I HAVE seen). :)
Maybe Inception, but I dunno how soon I'll get to see it, if ever. It depends.
-
Harry potter all the way.
If you're picky enough to think Harry Potter wasn't good you won't like Tron either, at least non best-movie material. It's cool as hell, but not the best story/movie of all time.

Why?
I wanted to take a peek at the results to see what others liked, but since I generally don't watch movies (for some dumb reason), I don't have anything to vote.
-
I didn't like Harry Potter that much because Harry did not get to the the killing....Well, at least stunning of enemies. Remember that one scene in the coffee shop? They did some fighting there, but after that, they were always being chased. STAND UP AND SHOOT! I would have pulled out a machine gun! And when that insane gal was holding Hermioney hostage, I wanted to walk up the stairs in the back and do EXACTLY this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcBSTt2irh0).

Read the books zero... Seriously.
-
This this tread is about movies, not books.
All though I have to say that I like how Hedwig goes out in a blaze of glory in the movie, rather than the book.
The book was like:
Harry: WE GOTTA GO!!!!!11!1!!!1!21!
Hedwig: *dies
Harry: :<
Hagrid: WELL GEE, SORREH!
-
I just finished reading 'Order of the Phoenix'.
This this tread is about movies, not books.
Not like we have a great tradition of staying on topic here! ;)

@ Matt: Well, I personally know I won't like the Harry Potter 7 movie because I didn't like the Harry Potter 7 book. I mean, it was a satisfactory enough way to end it all, but it definitely wasn't the best either, kept dragging on and on and on...it felt like Rowling was purposely trying to stall.
That and the fact that movie #2 WAS the last Harry Potter movie that I liked. Have abhorred all the rest since.
And what irks me is that, of all the movies they could've chose to do two parts in, they do that one, the one that drags on forever! XP
And I'm with NUMBERZero too, the HP7 had too much running and hiding and not enough standing and fighting, that was another issue about it.
Now about Tron: Legacy...I was afraid I was going to hear that it specialized in special effects, but would, again, be lacking in story. That was the original Tron's biggest problem. Great concept, but they didn't do anything with it, and I was immensely afraid they were going to do it again with Legacy, part of the reason why I haven't taken the time to watch it yet. :|
Sounds like I might be voting for "How To Train Your Dragon" after all. 'Cuz that one was undeniably good. :)
-
No "Expendables"? That's my movie of almost every year! I haven't seen a single movie you have in the polls, not a single one. Only a few I heard of, some I haven't even heard of.
The Expendables was perfect. It had great actors, good action, good story. saw it when I was at some job I hated. I only wanted to see a movie with destruction, and I saw Stallone on the Tonight show with Jay Leno.
I had to see it, I did, and I loved it!
-
Scott Pilgrim was the best. The moment it ended I wanted to see it again. No competition (well, except maybe Tron).
-
Whilst it may be a thread about movies, the movie is based on a book.
-
Oh here we go. How HP4 should have ended!

@ NUMBERzero: Ha! That would've made things a lot simpler. :P
-
never saw the film. did the ending not go so well for people?
-
It went fine for anybody who's actually a fan of the books. ::)
-
I liked the sixth movie best so far. They did a very good job on that movie, especially considering the book was rather lackluster.
-
It's funny the differing opinions that are coming up about the Harry Potter franchise on a whole. Just a reminder to yourself that not everybody thinks like you do, I guess. :P
@ Matt: Are you suggesting I'm not a fan of the books? Blasphemy! I have all seven nearly within arm's reach from right where I'm sitting typing this! In fact, if we really want to get down to it, it's because I like the books so much that I haven't been too big on the movies. :)
-
I never quite understood the "you have to read the books to like the movie" or to at least know what's going on.
Maybe this is just Lord of The Rings, but if the movie is 3 hours+, wouldn't you think it's long enough to not need to read the books? plus, it having three titles. 9 hours plus of footage, and you almost need to read the books too? I say publicity :)
-
I haven't read the books or seen the movies for Lord of the Rings (I've read The Hobbit and that's it). My friend and I are probably going to do a marathon LotR movie watching session during reading week though (we did the same thing with Pirates of the Carribean the year before last... until then I hadn't seen those movies either).
-
That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that you haven't read/didn't like the book, don't complain about the plot of the movie.
-
Hey, I refrained from commenting on book/movie 4 (my least favorite). :P
Point taken, though. :)
