Surrogates is a great movie!

2012… after a long time a movie worth watching in the cinema, still a bit too “hollywoody” at times (I downloaded it) it does have a decent story and kick ass effects.

Here’s one pirate who will be heading to the cinema after a looong time.

I think i’m going to have a little fun with the staff as well, i’ll pretend im recording a clip on my cellphone… ;)

2012 is an epic movie. I actually go to the cinema all the time, and pay way over the odds for a fairly shitty cinema.

I’ve seen 7 of the movies up there at the cinema. I don’t think it’s entirely amoral for me to go on ahead and download them now.

6 Nov 23, 2009 at 21:34 by hmm

is the cam of 2012 actually worth downloading?

7 Nov 23, 2009 at 21:43 by www.eZee.se

@6,
Yes, there is a fairly decent copy out there.

8 Nov 23, 2009 at 21:45 by Kapcha

I think, I will go to cinema for 2012 this week )

Gamer is also very good movie )

9 Nov 23, 2009 at 21:47 by Yatti420

2012 sucks big time.

If you like big shiny graphics, you might like it. You’ll probably like big shiny objects too. :D

Content wise 2012 is a piece of crap.

15 Nov 23, 2009 at 22:20 by Paps

I saw both 2012 and Zombieland in the cinema. 2012 was terrible, but worked because it was on a big screen.
Zombieland was amazing, and I can’t wait for the DVD release :)

16 Nov 23, 2009 at 22:32 by jack

2012 has zero substance to it.. the movie sucks.

17 Nov 23, 2009 at 22:36 by neb

I think I missed Ninja……..Hmm….better get busy;)

18 Nov 23, 2009 at 22:39 by nightflier

Watched 2012 with my family last week and although the special effects were a bit ott it was still a great movie. Look foreward to the dvd release.

19 Nov 23, 2009 at 23:00 by John

Ninja is a shite film – however, it’s so shite it’s good. Don’t watch it alone, watch it with friends.

20 Nov 23, 2009 at 23:07 by veebz

why the term ‘pirated’ in these top ten titles? not every-fking-one burns up a load of copies and sells them on ebay or at their nearest car boot sale ffs.
top ten downloaded, not top ten pirated, stop helping these corporate bullshitters

21 Nov 23, 2009 at 23:12 by Josh

2012 was ok but not realistic or believable if you think about it. good movie just had issues with the storyline.

22 Nov 23, 2009 at 23:17 by ted

dont believe these haters saying 2012 sucked it was a amazing movie @ the person who said zombieland was better than 2012 get your head out of your ass

23 Nov 23, 2009 at 23:23 by neb

If the movies are any good we go pay the 50$ to see it on the big screen. Ninja looks alright to me…..

24 Nov 23, 2009 at 23:24 by John

2012 is ok but at some scenes, it is waaay too rude.

25 Nov 23, 2009 at 23:26 by Agbonlahor

2012 is by far the best film of this century. It makes titanic look like a pile of crap!

26 Nov 23, 2009 at 23:36 by ted

@ 24 why because people cant take what is front of them your one of those people that left the theater terrified after watching 2012 @ 25 same here people would be saying the same thing about titanic if it were not a true story reality bites people get used to it and @ the person who said at times it was “to” Hollywood me thinks you have never seen a earthquake in person dip shit

27 Nov 23, 2009 at 23:47 by Grok

Just reading the synopsis for 2012 made me utterly uninterested in it, given all of the horrible inconsistencies and basic idiocy of the whole thing. What can you expect from a movie based on the ignorant 2012 bullshit in the first place? I won’t even pirate it, it’s so bad.

Zombieland was definitely great fun.

I’ll probably take a look at Gamer, being a gamer myself and somewhat interested in how they manage the plot.

Surrogates was, like 2012, pretty ridiculously inconsistent and stupid in its synopsis and premise. I might watch it, but I’ll be ready to abandon it if things are looking too stupid, and I suspect they will be.

@20 “veebz”

The term “pirated” is not exclusive to counterfeits. In fact, there’s an actual word for that kind of activity, and it’s “counterfeiting”. While pirated counterfeits (also known as bootlegs) are duplicates but with the appropriate material, don’t think that hijacks the entire term “pirate”. Note that I pointed out the ACTUAL terms involved with what you’re mentioning.

28 Nov 23, 2009 at 23:54 by Swopyl

2012 is pure bullshit.

2 thing however are cool in this movie: special effects (how long did they render it??) and the crazy radio guy

29 Nov 24, 2009 at 00:29 by sweet

booo a cam on the number 1 spot?? cams do little but ruin movies!! let’s get em out of the scene!!!

30 Nov 24, 2009 at 02:05 by Lenny

Isn’t it funny how many torrent folk have gone to see 2012! Most if not all also say its worth going to the cinema to see the effects too. I have to say that’s my thinking too, although I haven’t made it there yet I do intend to spend some money and go with the Mrs. I too generally don’t see the point in paying for sh**y films, or paying for something that’s meant to be good, to find out it isn’t and have no way to get some or all my money back so I stay away from the cinema.

If Hollywood would pause for one moment and think about why their profits are down; its not people who download movies, its crass and crappy productions that adults refuse to pay to see. If they could stop all downloads, people wouldn’t flock to the cinema, they’d just save their money for what they’re confident they like. So the conclusion being when/if the MPAA & Mandleson etc get their way in whichever country, their profits won’t go up, simply because their films won’t have got any better.

So if you’re paying attention Hollywood, stop as many downloaders as you like, we still won’t pay for your crappy films. They’re not worth the money.

@25 “2012 is by far the best film of this century. It makes titanic look like a pile of crap!”

Titanic WAS a pile of crap… which would in turn make 2012 barely watchable?

32 Nov 24, 2009 at 03:35 by Anonymous

@ 26

I am not the one you originally refer to. But I HAVE been in earthquakes, one of which was in Mexico City in 1985, (~40,000 dead)… and I still think 2012 is too Hollywood.

33 Nov 24, 2009 at 05:13 by how funny...

2012 sucked, make sure you torrent this all, sooooooooo bad…

34 Nov 24, 2009 at 05:42 by Xcel

Have seen all of these, from the comments posted here it sounds like I need to check out 2012!

2 Gamer – Decent action flick, I liked it

3 Funny People – Was alright, was expecting something funnier, this movie actually has a serious side that isnt so funny.

4 Inglourious Basterds – Great movie, I enjoyed the hell out of it. I just wish it wasnt in french and german through most of it.

5 Zombieland – Pretty funny,not a work of art or anything, but entertaining.

6 The Hangover – Not bad…Not great, but not bad.

7 Pandorum – Good Sci-fi, a little slow in some parts, but definitely worth the watch for any fans of SciFi

8 Surrogates – It was an “Ok” movie, once was definitely enough…

I really doubt I’ll be watching “Ninja” or “Saw” (least of all – “Saw”) but 2012 is definitely on the list…

35 Nov 24, 2009 at 06:17 by button to pay

Dear Mr. Producers.

I really liked “Inglorious Basterds” which I downloaded, I won’t go to theaters as I’m a misanthrope, is there anywhere I can just “click” to pay you directly for this movie. I refuse to buy the DVD as I don’t support the twisted, corrupt, MAFIAA.

Many Thanks.

Try Before I Buy.

36 Nov 24, 2009 at 06:45 by ya

Funny People has some good laughs but they are far apart.. the MOVIE IS LONG! It seemed like ages to me..

Inglourious Basterds is the best of these films.. but there are some winners in there.

37 Nov 24, 2009 at 06:49 by i like cheese

has anyone got a copy of “the imaginarium of doctor parnassus” yet!
be great if some one could point me in the right direction.

38 Nov 24, 2009 at 08:14 by Mate

Well I can say that most if not all of these movies are available streaming but it doesn’t cost money to watch.. The sites generate revenue from ads just like any other site. If the cartel would have gotten its head out of its arse, it could of had the same method but use the free services to host the material & ads to make money.

39 Nov 24, 2009 at 08:49 by ptsick

never dowoload a movie until the DVD comes cout..
Inglourious bastards is a funny movie..

40 Nov 24, 2009 at 09:56 by xnowimcoolx

Inglorious bastards was an incredibly original film. Loved every minute of it! How come no one else has ever made a ‘ WW 2 alternate reality revenge against the nazis’ film?

Funny People wasn’t funny, although I don’t think it was meant to be – it was ok as a drama, not a comedy.

Zombieland was unexpected. The trailers looked awful, but the movie was witty, funny and cool.

The Hangover had some good laughs. The guy with the beard made the movie.

Surrogates was bad. I read the comics/graphic novels before watching the movie, they should have stuck to the novels story, would have at least been ok.

41 Nov 24, 2009 at 09:59 by diarRIAA

OMG! I can’t wait for the bluray rip in HD! I know I’ll be having lots of friends over to watch my free HD download for free!

Sharing is caring!!!! w00t w00t! xD

42 Nov 24, 2009 at 11:15 by AlienDK

2012 sucked bigtime. Watched it in a cinema. Huge fail.

43 Nov 24, 2009 at 13:46 by ordinaryGamer

Oh man, Gamer so badly stereotypical, feels like it was written by some religious old person. Watchable, but not worth cinema.

44 Nov 24, 2009 at 20:36 by Anonymous

What does R5 stand for? CAM I’m pretty sure stands for handheld in a movie theater.

2012 was based on hard scientific fact…

2012: Special Effects, Flashy Things, If you like this you’re stupid, if you’re stupid you’ll like this.

Gamer: New Cliche in Movies, entertaining if you are a gamer, The chick who flashes tits is computer generated. Pathetic.

Funny people: _NOT_ funny. More sad. Couple jokes so you don’t walk out, but way too long too.

I.B.: Awesome if you’re not a Nazi.

Zombieland: Cool, its not the guy from Superbad so stop saying it is you halfwits. BM is the s%!t.

Hangover: I don’t remember it, foul mouth, pervy humor, cool if you smoke up.

Pandorum: COOL. I don’t remember this at all, but i remember liking it. (cooler version of Moon IIRC)

Surrogates, dunno if this was the first one in the cliche- but Avatar is the next one- I enjoyed it because of Bruce Willis, i’m a BW fanboy

Ninja- D/l’ing now

Saw VI- srsly? You gotta be a loser if you still think these movies are good. Glad to see its not anywhere at the top of the top 10.

48 Nov 25, 2009 at 03:30 by Pirates play Paintball

Warched Pandorum just a few minutes ago, and i liked it.

If you like dark scifi thriller movies you should give it a try.

2012: Special Effects, Flashy Things, If you like this you’re stupid, if you’re stupid you’ll like this.

More like Lamer…

51 Nov 26, 2009 at 15:06 by Xcel

Ok… I have to agree with #47… 2012 really sucks ass…

Sorry People but it’s true, it is the biggest waste of film this year…

52 Nov 27, 2009 at 08:07 by Sean

I’m sorry but anyone that gets their panties in a twist over 2012 is an idiot. That film was terrible. The only thing it had going for it was the special effects. The story as a whole was god awful and after I saw it, I knew the general public would eat this crap up. I’m sorry, but if you loved 2012 and truly thought it was a good film with a good story line, then you are not very intelligent.

53 Nov 28, 2009 at 08:33 by Niek

Gamer sucked it was a rip off of surrogates or visa versa. Still waiting for the dvd rip of 2012.
Pandorum was great, cant wait till part 2.

I agree with most of what you have said except for… story line? What story line?
