You know what? I watched it with a friend of mine and we BOTH thought it was garbage. So no hate from me, just support.

i agree, i had to turn that piece off on an airplane.

quentin tarintino also dated margaret cho. and that's all i have to say about that.

1) it was ok, better than a lot of movies this year...worse than a lot of other movies this year.
2) Beatles: Mostly overrated...mostly...

I just saw this at the family's house on Xmas. It wasn't that great. I generally like Pixar's movies but the Toy Story franchise is easily my least favorite. Toy Story 3 gets 2.5 "mehs" from me.

To address your last two points, let me just say The Beatles ARE wildly overrated and HATE HATE HATE.

I love the Beatles, but Toy Story 3 terrified me in a very existential way. It is an onslaught of depressing imagery around loss and abandonment. The Big Baby was once innocent and stopped giving a shit to the point where she was ragged and almost inhuman in her movements (like the scene where she was on the swing, staring blankly at the sky, without hope). Most of the movie centers around the sickeningly loyal-to-humans protagonists being pretty much tortured by sinister toys all around them.

Not that I disliked the movie or anything, but shit man. TERRIFYING.

We already have such an emotional attachment to objects and toys, which is one of the reasons Toy Story relates so well and is something I'm always uncomfortable with. And the movies reinforce this feeling by showing us a world where our toys are just as loyal and caring as we anthropomorphize them to be. But is this a positive concept to reinforce? Shouldn't we be reinforcing the thought that interpersonal relationships are more important than material ones? Isn't this just aiding in our bred-and-born inherent need to consume objects because they provide Great Meaning™ to our lives, or am I just CRAZY.

It also teaches kids that donating toys is bad and your toys will hate you for it. What the fuck, Pixar?

Considering Steven Humphrey is obsessed with Justin Beiber automatically invalidates any of his opinions. Mr. Humphrey, YOU are overrated. I love both Toy Story 3 and the Beatles. I do have to say though, I don't think that it aould be #1 on my list, but it would be in the top 10.

Quentin Tarantino has a cultivated love for things that are bad.

I don't think it was horrible. But then again I hated Up and Wall-e, so maybe i'm just glad it was better than those.

And I like the Beatles damnit!

Get Him to the Greek was the top movie of 2010 on my list. I will never stop thinking about a house that looks like a werewolf.

1. TS3 should probably not be #1.
2. However, it SHOULD be on a list of the Top 10 Films of 2010.
3. This is partially because, but not limited to:
- Incredibly tight, engaging storytelling
- Consistency in the application of the theme
- A great script that was hilarious, heartbreaking, and respectful of its all-ages audience in a very Sesame Street, honesty-with-children sort of way (@8, I think that sense of abandonment terror is a really important part of the whole franchise, and I think your point about materialism is a really interesting one that is worth discussion which in itself is a point for the movie, imo)
- Obviously spectacular animation
4. You are probably lying if you say you didn't enjoy it.

I really cannot fucking stand the way critics and the American public and film-lovers somehow find it in them to love the shit out of Pixar films. They're trite, bland and simplistic. They're perfect for kids, yes, but they hold nothing against the likes of even the most average adult-targeted film (LOLPORN). It really chaps my ass the way I have to hear about how great they are every time one gets released. At least Fantastic Mr. Fox was a kiddish film that was worth the effort of watching...

Thinking The Beatles are overrated is the epitome of hipsterism and/or trolling.

Toy Story 3 was on most people's best of lists for the year because it was the only good movie to come out for over half of 2010. Inception and Scott Pilgrim were the only other movies to come out over the summer worth seeing, and then it wasn't until late fall when anything with any thought or craft in it started being released.

While Toy Story 3 was not as groundbreaking or great as the first two Toy Story movies (it was still pretty dang good), the competition for most of this year still made it seem like Citizen Kane.

BILLIONAIRES TUNNEL GREGOIRE VOLTRON UNIT!

How to Train Your Dragon and Dispicable Me were both much better.

TS3 relied on cheap manipulation to make people cry. When viewers cry they often misinterpret that as a sign of quality.

Josh Bomb I will take your words under advisement. You have my thanks.

@17 neat movie idea.

I agree. The only part I liked about Toy Story was the opening. How To Train Your Dragon was an original movie, and a better movie.

I wish they'd show something other than kiddie movies on airplanes. I've seen them all, and I haven't liked one of them.

Now, the Beatles, on the other hand. If you think they're "over-rated," you're only proving to the world that you're a clueless moron.

Scott Pilgrim was a trite piece of shit. Everyone involved in it needs to review Storytelling 101.

How to Train Your Dragon is a better example of a movie from this year that was vastly overrated. It was like a snowball some kid tried to wad together that's part mud, part snow, part slush, part rocks, that flew apart just after it left his mitten.

I vote this trolling SASSY.

Plus, its treatment of Ken was deeply homophobic. Well, at least anti sissy. It really bothered me.

@23, I thought exactly the same thing until I saw it.

Pfft. Baby boomers have an excuse to think that The Beatles are the Greatest Band of All Time. Anyone of any other generation who doesn't think they're overrated is just posing.

I went to see Up in the theatre with my girlfriend. It was cute. We laughed when the dog said, "I was hiding under your porch because I love you." I don't know why any adult would look at a commercial full of toys and feel the need to go see that movie, though.

The movie was terrifying, and my 3yo, who loved the other two, runs in fear of it. This is a kid who likes watching Daddy play Resident Evil (not my favorite idea). It pushed that G rating, and tugged at every emotional string it could. I was very upset at that, and I warned off any other parents considering taking the family to see it. It was most certainly NOT that great. And THANK YOU: someone else realized ET was a horrible movie! I do love the Beatles though.

I used to like you man, what happened?
