Best/Worst movies of 2011

Best - #10
This is the best comedy of the year. The only complaint I have is that it lags on a little too long.
Best - #9
A great adaptation of the book by Kathryn Stockett. Only complaint is that Hollywood needs to be well rounded about life in the south.
Best - #8
This movie was largely overlooked but was one of the first great movies of the year.
Best - #7
A little slow at the start but a great sequel to the 09' film. Best - #7
Best - #6
The best animated film of the year goes to not Pixar or Dreamworks but to Nickelodeon
Best - #5
Has a few flaws but is the best superhero movie of the year. Magneto is a beast!
Best - #4
The film was released in 2010 but didn't arrive til '11. Great movie and very performance driven.
Best - #3
Another overlooked gem. This film combines drama and comedy perfectly.
Best - #2
This film gives you everything you want in an action film and more. At 48, Tom Cruise makes dads around the world feel bad.
Best - #1
The best (in my professional opinion) of the year. The film intoxicates you like a sorority chick at a Mexican themed bar. The film stays with you and it will soon be a classic.
Worst - #10
The movie is watchable but it plays out like Superman meets Twilight.
Worst - #9
The film is summed up with one word 'lackluster'.
Worst - #8
They should have stopped with the first one. These keep getting more unwatchable. It's confusing, has huge plot holes, and makes the Transformers seem like cowards. SHIA!
Worst - #7
I know I gave this film a high rating but thinking back on it, this film makes zero sense. It's a whole lot of nothing. Massive special effects do not cover the threadbare screenplay.
Worst - #6
This movie is another notch in Nick Cage's terrible movie belt made up of refunds and bad life decisions.
Worst - #5
This is the worst comedy of the year. It's as if they took a King Arthur film and just added fart noises to it.
Worst - #4
No wait this is. A few laughs here and there but the plot is terrible and Adam Sandler needs to check himself into humor rehab.
Worst - #3
Only good thing I can say about this film is the direction is great. Everything is bad about this. Why are they going to make a biography about a 16 year old? "Youth knows no pain".
Worst - #2
I do not understand the hype behind this. Without the mythical creatures in it, this would just be a bad soap opera. This is cinema at it's worst or should I say c-enema.
Worst - #1
This gets the number 1 spot because of the huge let down. If disappointment could make a film, it would be this one. Please skip this at all costs and keep the good name of the original alive.

The cinematic landscape of 2011 saw several peaks and valleys the past year, from award-winning, laugh-out-loud films to total flops and failures. Mercer Morrison, a movie reviewer and web producer for our sister station WDAM in Hattiesburg, Miss., compiled this list of the best and worst movies of 2011.
