io9's best and worst sci-fi movies of 2008 list. (http://io9.com/5118541/best-and-worst-science-fiction-movies-of-2008)

There are a number of problems with the author's ranking, and they go way beyond simple personal preference:

1) The Dark Knight is not a sci-fi film, and even if it was, it should be #1
2) Speed Racer and City of Ember in Top 10 Best? What the fuck? Speed Racer was just plain bad; City of Ember was a cool concept but there's no way you can argue it was a legitimately good film. Bill Murray was "in rare form," yes, but that doesn't mean he was good; in fact his "GIVE ME THE BOX" line was probably the most laughably bad thing I saw in a theater all year. By the way the only reason I saw that movie was because I was tricked into seeing it by my friend who described it as "steampunk and bill murray!!!" I knew nothing about it

3) Also, calling Teeth a sci-fi movie is quite a stretch. And it wasn't that good.

4) City of Ember is rated better than Iron Man. Uh, no.

5) The Spirit, while again not really sci-fi at all, is only #10 worst. It should be #1, even if it isn't sci-fi.

6) Indiana Jones, #1 worst? Worse than The Day The Earth Stood Still? Worse than fucking Jumper? I didn't like Crystal Skull at all but at least it had acceptable production quality.

This guy shouldn't be writing film lists/reviews.

Me too. The ending was awful and it wasn't as good as the old ones but that doesn't make it a bad movie.
I support BUSH

god that part was terrible :'(

overall i didn't hate the movie or anything, but it kinda goes without saying that it can't really live up to Raiders and Crusade, at least

Doom, maybe. but probably not.
