click to start the countdown
For almost a year, the plot
of Super8 was kept a tightly bound secret.The plot is this,an alien
desperate to return home causes havoc in the lives of a nearby town..JJ
Abrams once again followed the "Cloverfield" type direction by keeping
the alien unknown for most of the time..The lead performances by the
child artists and the suspense filled atmosphere turned Super 8 into a
great movie...
32-Thor
No one expected much of
Thor...The superhero wasnt as well known as,say Iron-man or Hulk...But
Thor turned out to be great due to its beautiful visual effects and
performances by the lead characters..Tom Hiddlestone as Loki gave a
brilliant performance...
The movie also didn't take itself too seriously and this helped the movie to find favor among the crowd..
31-Puss In Boots
A spin-off from the popular Shrek franchise ,Puss in boots delivered on
its brilliantly animated action shots and a crazy trip back to the
fairy tale lands.

This movie captured the terror spread by Uday Hussein..The movie
rambles forward but its the dynamic dual performance of Dominic Cooper
that captivates the viewers..
29-Super
Many may find it similar to last years hit,Kick-Ass,but Super is merely
another point of view of vigilantism...The movie starts of as a comedy
but as the movie progresses it takes up action,drama and ends up as a
thriller.

An artistic movie about a boys first crush and his families
problems.The acting by the lead was great and the direction was perfect
too..
27-InsidiousEasily the best Horror
movie of the year.Insidious was simple yet came with a new concept..Its
most likeable part was it avoided the most general horror movie
cliches..
26-Fast 5
The Fast & Furious
series have been ridiculed for a long time for their story and acting
...And the 5th part was already labelled as an unnecessary addition to
the series..
But when the movie did hit the cinemas,it took the critics in for a big surprise..
Fast 5 focused completely on its strong points,that being, car chases
and Vin Diesel...And they also brought in crowd favorite macho ,Dwayne
"Rock"...The result? A heist movie in Rio with plenty of action scenes
and car chases...The story was simple enough and solid..Fast 5
rejuvenated the entire series...(the 6th and 7th are now being made back
to back)
25-The Flowers Of War (Chinese)
The much awaited
Chinese war movie Flowers Of War consisted of some brilliant depictions
of the Nanking Massacre and Christian Bale's performance made the movie
more powerful...

movies Incredibles & Ratatouille bring life into the stale Mission
Impossible series?
Yes,he did...MI4 very easily can boast to have the best action scenes of 2011..The cast is top notch and each actor brings a certain charm to their respective roles...
