  • N.Anselmo

    Haven’t watch Sherlock Holmes yet, but the rest really suck, specially Avatar as AlienDK said.

  • ROLF

    yeah, they all suck :)

  • Anon

    If you think all of these movies suck, your standards must be way too high.

  • xxploit

    sherlock/zombieland – entertaining
    goats – kinda funny, sometimes a bit daft
    2012- watched it, forgot what it was about so crap
    rest havent seen

  • Anonymous

    I liked 2012. Couples Retreat looks fun, haven’t watched any of them except 2012.

  • Anonymous

    I have seen the trailer of “Sherlock Holmes” and I thought: WTF? This looks like a 08/15 Hollywood action crap which has not much to do with the novels and as I read the comments I think it’s okay not to waste the time with this film. ;-)

    If you want to see GOOD Sherlock Holmes films then look for “Sherlock Holmes” with Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes. The actors play their roles well and the stories base on the novels of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
    Here is the complete series:
    Torrent from The Pirate Bay:

  • Sean

    Sherlock Holmes was great. Golden Globe was well deserved for Best Actor. http://www.twitter.com/movieleak.

  • mr.hardy

    True, Jeremy Brett is good as “Sherlock Holmes” and equally good is Basil Rathbone form the old movies…..Robert Downey Jr….nah that`s not “Sherlock Holmes” that`s Charlie Chaplin.

  • BIOS

    Avatar was awesome, Sherlock Holmes was great (although it was a bit confusing)

  • Freakfreak

    I don’t care about the nitpickers here.

    Sherlock Holmes was a refreshing entertainment, quite unusual and original in it’s visual story telling and well worth watching.

    And Daybreakers has such a remarkable and fancy storyline that it definitely is worth downloading and watching. (Unfortunately yet, the end was so odd and contradictory to the overall plot that one wonders what had bitten the producers and director … looks like they wanted to keep the storyline open to allow for a sequel … and were willing to sacrifice the consistency of an otherwise unique story for that – sad!)

    Couples Retreat was a shallow relationship comedy – nothing special – , 2012 is just an idiotic doomsday movie (… again! like many others before and probably after … ) and The Men Who Stare at Goats was the only movie that really sucked: not funny, not original, not entertaining … just boring stupid .. and did I mention it: BORING!

    But Sherlock Holmes and Daybreakers are definitely recommended for watching! The best movies in the list next to Avatar (and maybe Zombieland that runs a little outside the competition here.)

  • Rboy

    Torrentfreak better be careful they might get sued for for facilitating torrents by listing top 10 movies.

    Avatar was great visually but the story sucked. With all the politically correct bullsh@t today nothing like this could ever happen especially in the future.

    Come to think of it, it happens today the US abuses third world countries all the time, using cheap foreign labor and raping trashing their countries because they have lax laws protecting the environment.
    ALL in the name of cheap goods.

    I saw this first hand in Saipan. Though technically not a foreign country the garment industry found a loop hole came there exploited the labor laws importing cheap labor, created a huge mountain of toxic waste left in the landfill then left the place when it became no longer economically viable and took no responsibility to clean up the environment they polluted. I can only imagine all the toxic waste being dumped all over Asia created in order to produce goods for american consumption.

  • Vicar

    dont knock it til u see it mate, and the torrent is a tv series not a film. (and not the best imo)

  • neostyles

    I love how everyone tries to ease their conscience by putting down all the movies. Considering how Avatar brought in millions, I would say that it doesn’t suck. Plus, most people here probably pirated half of them.

  • Rob

    @7
    No I watched the dvdscr with some Russian guy talking at the start yesterday. Do some research before accusing people of providing incorrect info fool.

  • roco

    if they were to get sued, they would just move to a new host. This is standard tos.

  • roco

    @14 14 Feb 01, 2010 at 17:18 by Anonymous The torrent is about 15 gigs so if you click it it may lock up pc. Just a tip if anyone dl’s it.

  • Meh

    I normally don’t comment but I must say..Sherlock Holmes DOES suck. I couldn’t even finish it after 6 beers.

  • DoctorJ

    Where is a listing of what all the letters beside the movies mean?
    Like R5, TS and so on ?

    Avatar really disappointing.. Even in real3d.. I expected a lot more..

  • Rboy

    If you want to know what TS R5 ETC is google it. The TS R5 and SCR are basically inferior releases. The sound is of lesser quality and the picture is dark because they are basically pictures of the film and not ripped straight from a DVD.

    If you want to see the movie and don’t care about the quality then watch one of these versions otherwise wait.

    Whatever you may think of avatar it made a boatload of money so plenty of people were entertained by it.

  • Ben

    @28
    R5 and SCR video typically is ripped from a dvd. R5 refers to the region that includes russia. SCR are what get released typically to film reviewers. The audio for r5s however can be of cam quality or usually line by the time they get released

  • aah

    [insert typical "every movie sucks waaaaah"]

  • klitoratii

    All the Daybreakers copies out at the moment are cams and telescenes. There’s no legit DVD Screener to be found and anyone claiming they have it is just a lier. Downloaders beware!

  • Unauthorized Content Consumer

    I downloaded Precious. What a great movie. I highly recommend you download and watch it!

  • paul

    Annnnyways, nothing on here is on here for the first time is it? (well maybe that daybreakers but I swear that was out last week).

    Kind of an odd list though, not so much sucky as just.. old stuff I downloaded weeks or months ago.

  • del system32
  • Anom

    Zombieland was awesome. period.

  • Think about it

    I haven’t seen any of them, but only 3 will even have a chance to be watched by me. That means 7 of them look like they’ll suck enough for me not to watch (based on their plot synopsis). So shove that in your pipe and smoke it, no-styles.

    Zombieland sucked so bad, I watched it in the 720p x264 version.

    Looking forward to Edge of Darkness with Mel Gibson

  • true

    Zombies, vampires ecetera: every mediocre film company wants to make some bucks on this now. And the outcame is, as expected, sh***

    Sherlock H. was partly okay.
    “The Men Who Stare at Goats”: Not funny at all, not in the slightest way.
    Book of Eli: Christian action movie, with a weak plot, weak action, how pathetic.

  • Octo

    Is there also a way that I can see how many times these movies have been downloaded?

  • Rob

    @31 THERE IS A SCR FOR DAYBREAKERS!!! Look for it you complete moron

    Why do people put their personal opinions here? If I wanted that I would click it and read the IMDB user comments as they tend to be slightly more articulate. I don’t like this, and this movie sucked. That’s a matter of personal preference I like Guinness but I don’t start telling all my mates who hate it all about how great it is. But in the interest of sharing thought Zombieland was a refreshing take on an old idea. Being most of these kid punks don’t realise that a lot of modern movies are simply rip-offs of older movies/cartoons that were before your time I really don’t think you should have an opinion

  • geeza

    Avatar will be top from today tho lol
    seeing as the dvdscr is out now
