Films of 2012?

[Sweet Pea 50]

I think watching Avengers in the movie theater kind of warped my first rating of it. Plus I'm a comic book geek, so that might have skewed my thoughts as well.

I still think it's a kick ass movie, but I'd give it a 8.59 out of 10. Because I'm a douche like that.

What about Life of Pi and Cloud Atlas?

Haven't seen em, worth a look?

As for Sweet Pea, I give Scarlett's ass 8.59 out of 10, but that's all.

Cloud Atlas will get overrated by the Pseudo's. At best, it should get the 'Blade Runner' treatment in terms of inspiring better movies in the future, with a similar concept.

The movie was way too long (3 hours) because they couldn't find a way to cram in all the different storyline's in a shorter amount of time. You would think there was going to be a big revelation at the end. A 'pay off' if you will, but there really wasn't. Just some sentimental bullsh1t about events in the past indirectly impacting events in the future.

Thanks. In other words, it was a mix of Inception and Avatar.

I enjoyed 21 Jump Street and The Campaign.

The Dark Knight Rises was pretty good I thought, Tom Hardy as Bane was great.

Avengers and Promotheus were way overrated in my opinion. Maybe I just prefer when Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America are on their own I guess.

Argo was really good, and I'm looking forward to the end of the year. Flight, Lincoln, Killing Them Softly, Django Unchained, and Silver Linings Playbook.

But here's what I've seen this year. You can even call me a bias Brit, as some of the best new movies I saw in 2012 were probably, and surprisingly, made in the UK:

You see them dudes in my avatar and sig.........they both are brits(Andrew Lincolin,Tom Hardy). I gotta hand it to England, you guys have some damn great actors.

Christian Bale is one of my all time favorites! He's Patrick Bateman and Batman!!

Decided to give this a watch based on your review and the trailer...watching it now...looks like it has potential.

We suck at making movies (generally), but we have some decent acting talent from over here, I gotta agree. It helps, I guess, that we've got stuff like the RSC.


And Jaded, glad to hear it. It's not Citizen Kane, but it's worth a look IMO.

holy motors is the best thing i've seen so far. rust and bone and killing them softly are good, too.

that's just going by imdb dates. going by british theatrical release dates there would be a lot more to choose from.
