Movies of 2011
In 2011, I saw 7 movies at the cinema, down from 8 the previous year.
Tangled 3D - Inventive, smart, and likeable, with a beautifully animated climactic song, and one of the best Big Damn Hero moments ever.
The King's Speech - One of those movies so well made, I was captivated from beginning to end, and was sorry when it was over. Fully deserves all its accolades.
X-Men: First Class - The film that relaunched a fandom.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 - A satisfying conclusion to an epic journey.
Space Battleship Yamato - As someone who imprinted on Star Blazers as a child, to hear *that* theme music and see *that* magnificent ship float across the big screen was indescribable. A great adaptation, although the second half fell into more cliched territory. But still. WAVE MOTION GUN.
Arrietty - Another gorgeous movie from Studio Ghibli, based on The Borrowers by Mary Norton. Storytelling with a light touch and worldbuilding with a true sense of wonder.
Arthur Christmas - From the creators of Wallace and Gromit, a delightful and heartwarming tale of Christmas, traditions, and family. Also, how can you go past a movie featuring the voice talents of James McAvoy and Bill Nighy?
