Year 2010 was a very good year for the box office, some sequels, some new ideas and a whole lot of not so good movies managed to make it into different top ten lists. But there is different ways how do you judge the top ten movies of 2010, maybe profits, quality, content or story? Let's look at two different appraisals. If we judge only by money we get the following list:
1. Iron Man 2
2. Toy Story 3
3. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part I
4. Twilight Saga: Eclipse
5. Knight and Day
6. Little Fockers
7. Salt
8. Inception
9. Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
10. The A-Team
Just how much does a number one box office smash make these days? For example Iron Man 2 brought in 365 million US dollars and set itself up for yet another sequel. At least this movie was actually good, something that Little Fockers can't claim.
But if we take a look a list of the best ten movies according to Rotten Tomatoes we get new list. On the Rotten Tomatoes site both critics and the public get a chance to review and rank movies. When the year ends, the standings are published.
1. Marwencol
2. Waste Land
3. Gasland
4. Toy Story 3
5. How to Train Your Dragon
6. Exit Through the Gift Shop
7. The Social Network
8. Inside Job
9. Mugabe and the White African
10. The King's Speech
Can you notice how many of the top scoring box office hits don't even appear? What make’s a good movie isn't always the finances for promotion, sometimes it is actually the story that movie tells. Just for reference, Iron Man 2 is at 86 place according to Rotten Tomatoes. Of course, not all movies are appropriate to all movie goers, for example no matter how good Marwencol may have been, it wouldn't be a good choice for children.
