Film of the Year 2010

With the New Year having arrived, the Cyborg Ninja can now reflect on yet another fabulous year of movies in 2010 and come up with the next selection for the coveted 'Ninja film of the year'!

Despite the depth of movies on offer, there were two obvious favourites with one getting the nod by a nose. My choice for film of the year was Knight and Day - a hilarious romp of a movie with a nice slice of tongue in cheek to go along with the rollicking action. The special effects were a bit ropey in parts and the story was ludicrous but I loved it for its humour. Inception was an oh-so-close second - a simply amazing film that had a clever plot, awesome visuals (the Blu-Ray is mindblowing!) and a stunning conclusion but it was the fun of Knight and Day that won out.

Previous winners:

2010 - Knight and Day (runner up - Inception)

2009 - Star Trek

2008 - Vantage Point (runner up - Eagle Eye)

2007 - Shooter & Bourne Ultimatum

2006 - Deja Vu (runner up - V for Vendetta)

2005 - Transporter 2 (runner up - Stealth)

2004 - Bourne Supremacy (runner up - Man on Fire)

2003 - The Italian Job

2002 - Bourne Identity

2001 - Spy Game

2000 - Mission Impossible 2

And if I had to pick a film of the decade...it should probably go to either Supremacy or Ultimatum but the heart says that Vantage Point deserves it....an incredible telling of a gripping story, albeit a far fetched one, but so cleverly told it deserves the recognition!
