Best Movies of 2012

[Emperor]

This list will be updated as I see movies. With half the year complete I figured it was time to give you my list (so far). I am not including movies coming out later in the year.

 

1. The Avengers - Really the only movie currently on my list I expect to be in my top 10 by the end of the year.

2. The Hunger Games - Surprisingly good adaptation of source material.

3. Prometheus - It has it's flaws but overall entertaining.

4. Chronicle - I really need to watch more movies from 2012.

5. Man on a Ledge - Good pacing but pretty predictable and forgettable.

 

 

6. Underworld: Awakening - By the end of the year this will be in my top 10 worst movies of 2012.

It is never too early to make lists! The fun is in updating them when you watch more movies. Also it allows people to see what they need to netflix or view in theaters. Krak - ranking 21 Jump St above most movies in 2012 makes me wonder about your tastes :P

2. The Hunger Games

3. Prometheus

4. The Grey

5. Safe House

6. The Woman in Black

7. Chronicle

8. Man on a Ledge

9. 21 Jump Street

[SinisterDeath]

I think its more telling that Empy has Underworld: Awakening on his top 10 list.

[Emperor]

Reminds me of that nice thread we had on the avengers, and I statign several times I believed batman would be osca worthy....

 

I haven't seen it yet.. BUt I feel my hunch was correct.

 

Course, I was wrong about prometheus.... But... all of us were.

[ironcross]

dont think batman will be winning any oscars

[SinisterDeath]

1. Dark Knight Rises

2. Avengurs

3. American Reunion

4. Chronicle

5. Prometheus

6. A Thousand Words

7. Meeting Evil

8. The Woman In Black

9. John Carter

10. Three Stooges

 

 

3 Stooges, is staying #10 regardless of any other movies released this year. It is purely honorary, because I loved it. I laughed, and enjoyed all the gags. It may not be oscar worthy. but it was something that don't see very often these days.

 

IT WAS ENTERTAINING!

 

John Carter? I expected crap, and I got a golden turd. It'll probably get knocked off, but I liked it. It wasn't Oscar worthy, but it was still something entertaining.

 

Ones that might hit the list?

Get the Gringo

Dredd

The Great Gatsby

the Amazing Spider-Man

The Raven

Ted

Magic Mike

Hunger Games

The Hobbit

Ependables 2

Abe-vampire hunter

Bournge Legacy

6. Safe House

7. The Woman in Black

9. Man on a Ledge

10. Contraband

 

Others seen and not ranked: 21 Jump Street, This Means War

 

Worst Movies of 2012

1. Underworld: Awakening

2. Lockout

 

So I really though there was no way Avengers would beat Batman but it happened. I went into Avengers will lower expectations and I came out impressed. I went in with higher expectations to Dark Knight Rises and was a bit let down. Both are great movies. However I doubt these are in the top by the end of the year.

 

Other Upcoming Contenders

Lincoln

The Master

Life of Pi

Les Miserables

Beasts of the Southern Wild

Django Unchained

Moonrise Kingdom

The Great Gatsby

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

Zero Dark Thirty

Six Sessions

[Ashaman Kovan]

Batman was good. But I still think The Avengers what better.

[Krakalakachkn]

I fully expect THE MASTER by Paul Thomas Anderson to be in my top two.

 

 

I can't wait for that, Skyfall, and to finally see Moonrise Kingdom. Also, Beasts of the Southern Wild.

[Krakalakachkn]

1. Cabin in the Woods

2. Beasts of the Southern Wild

3. Dark Knight Rises

4. The Avengers

5. 21 Jump Street

6. The Amazing Spider-Man (Surprisingly good. Garfield > MacGuire but Green Goblin > The Lizard)

7. Prometheus

8. Jeff, Who Lives at Home

[Ashaman Kovan]

I'm still genuinely confused as to how 21 jump street ranks higher on your list than 6, 7 or 8. I've been here for awhile and actually watched (and sometimes not watched) movies based on how good you and emp have said they were. But I think you might be slipping a bit. ; ]

[Krakalakachkn]

heh.

 

definitely could be a valid point.

[Krakalakachkn]

1. Cabin in the Woods

2. Beasts of the Southern Wild

3. Dark Knight Rises

4. The Avengers

5. The Master

6. 21 Jump Street

7. The Amazing Spider-Man (Surprisingly good. Garfield > MacGuire but Green Goblin > The Lizard)

8. Prometheus

9. Jeff, Who Lives at Home

10. Ted

 

Ted - Once you get past the novelty of the idea, and the fanboy jokes wear off, you're left with nothing special or memorable besides just how good looking Mila Kunis is.

 

The Master - Apart from the incredible acting on the parts of Phoenix, Hoffman, and Adams, this movie gets about as lost in its story and presentation as Lancaster Dodd gets in his theology. It's thin, airy, and prone to question - with no sense of catharsis to speak of.

[Krakalakachkn]

1. Cabin in the Woods

2. Beasts of the Southern Wild

3. Dark Knight Rises

4. The Avengers

5. Seven Psychopaths

6. The Master

7. 21 Jump Street

8. The Amazing Spider-Man (Surprisingly good. Garfield > MacGuire but Green Goblin > The Lizard)

9. Prometheus

10. Jeff, Who Lives at Home

 

 

 

Seven Psychopaths - If McDonough went a little far in self-referencing, it can be easily forgiven due to the incredibly fun, novel premise that McDonough and the cast flesh out for a very satisfying film.
