Forget the Academy Awards and the professional movie critics. Flixster users reviewed movies 55 million times in 2009, says the company, and they’ve released the top movies based on those ratings. At the top is Avatar with a 92% like rating (compared to 83% for the critics). Second is Star Trek with 91%, and The Blind Side comes in third with 90%.

The year’s lowest-rated movies were Whiteout (35%); Year One (32%); Dragonball Evolution (30%); Streetfighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (30%); and Transylmania (25%). I’d add Transformers 2 to that list of terrible movies, which is the top grossing film so far this year.

Here are the top ten:

  1. Avatar (92% positive)
  2. Star Trek (91%)
  3. The Blind Side (90%)
  4. Up in the Air (88%)
  5. Inglourious Basterds (87%)
  6. The Hangover (87%)
  7. Zombieland (87%)
  8. Up (86%)
  9. Michael Jackson’s This Is It (85%)
  10. Taken and I Can Do Bad All By Myself (tie, 83%)
