An entertaining movie, but certainly not worthy of Best Picture

Rating: 5/10 (20 February 2010)

The plot was weak and the acting sub-par, so it really is not worthy of the Academy Award for Best Picture. If I hadn't seen it in 3D, I don 't know if I'd have given it a vote of 5. It is worthy of some technical Oscars, but that's about it. I'm not saying it won't win the top honours, as I'm sure it will. There's no accounting for taste in Hollywood - just look at the outfits they wear at awards' shows.
It's truly unfortunate that some good movies were overlooked, and that, of the 10 nominated, 9 don't stand a snowball's chance. The Oscars were supposed to be above the blockbuster box office movies and recognise gems; I guess those days, sadly, are behind us.
