11.29.12 | Why are people making these lists before The Hobbit, Django, and Les Miserables come out? |
chesse13
11.29.12 | Django looks really cool actually |
Trebor17
11.29.12 | Silver Linings Playbook |
HitlerIsPissed
11.29.12 | didnt see bourne legacy, but its probably mediocre considering anything after the trilogy is purely a cash grab. hunger games was fucking terrible. expendables and dredd suck, i dont even have to watch them to know that. im guessing abraham lincoln: vampire hunter is total shit. |
twlichty
11.29.12 | dredd was the worst fucking movie |
chesse13
11.29.12 | Skyfall was pretty bad too |
ThunderNeutral21
11.29.12 | cloud atlas |
MisterTornado
11.29.12 | 27 was the most hit & miss thing I've seen all year. So, exactly what I was expecting. |
paxman
11.29.12 | wow a lot of shit movies |
paxman
11.29.12 | the best thing about 27 was Zach Galfaniakis's brief role |
paxman
11.29.12 | The Hunger Games was atrocious. I watched it out of curiosity and was left dumbfounded as to why it was so huge |
paxman
11.29.12 | Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter was one of the worst movies ever made, come on. |
paxman
11.29.12 | Dredd was about on par with The Watchmen in terms of quality, if that means anything to you. |
Calc
11.29.12 | "Why are people making these lists before The Hobbit, Django, and Les Miserables come out?"
these same people will remake these lists in jan
I think its safe to say 7 is the sleeper hit of the year so far at least |
ApexPredator
11.29.12 | I missed a lot this year only saw like 4 movies in the theater |
paxman
11.29.12 | The Expendables 2 is so mind-numbing you cant even remember watching it. |
ibringyoufire
11.29.12 | Good god, the cinematography in The Hunger Games was bad. |
paxman
11.29.12 | The Amazing Spiderman was a waste of time. Not to mention pointless. |
ApexPredator
11.29.12 | But expendables 2 is not supposed to be taken seriously you're supposed to turn ur brain off and enjoy the cheesy one liners and action scenes |
paxman
11.29.12 | Brave was great. As was Arrietty |
ApexPredator
11.29.12 | Brave lacked the heart of a lot of Pixar movies it was okay |
paxman
11.29.12 | The Grey strove so hard to have some kind of meaning but it ultimately fell flat. The wolves were so cartoonish and unrealistic it made me laugh, which drove away any attempt at profundity. |
ibringyoufire
11.29.12 | I feel like Brave's definitely one of the weakest Pixar movies, but it was solid in my book. |
paxman
11.29.12 | The rest are pretty good or i have not seen them |
sniper01
11.29.12 | perks of being a wallflower was good. mostly because it had emma watson in it, but also because it was good. |
ibringyoufire
11.29.12 | In retrospect, I should have put 21 higher due to its unintentional hilariousness. |
ApexPredator
11.29.12 | Yeah for Pixar it was weak it could've been better plus the main character was kinda unlikeable |
sniper01
11.29.12 | moonrise kingdom was hilarious/had awesome music. |
Ignimbrite
11.29.12 | I like this list. I don't agree with everything, but it doesn't scream "i'm artsy and elite and all my favorite films didn't even have major releases, fuck tdkr chris nolan sux lol" like a lot of others here do. |
sniper01
11.29.12 | i concur |
ibringyoufire
11.29.12 | Definitely gonna revise this list once I see Lincoln, Killing Me Softly, Django Unchained, and The Hobbit. Not sure if I'll see Les Miserables yet. |
paxman
11.29.12 | some recs:
Safety Not Guaranteed
Bernie
Indie Game
The Snowtown Murders
Trouble with the Curve |
sniper01
11.29.12 | dude yeah lincoln looks really good |
ibringyoufire
11.29.12 | Oh fuck, I still need to see Indie Game. Thank god for Netflix. |
Ignimbrite
11.29.12 | I think my favorite of the year was Looper... I did *not* expect to like it as much as I did. |
ibringyoufire
11.29.12 | Bernie's on there, too. Hot damn. |
dathvada321
11.29.12 | "Not sure if I'll see Les Miserables yet'
im skeptical about it as well. the play is amazing, which makes me worry about whether or not a screenplay adaption will do it any justice. |
DotEight
11.29.12 | Looper should be way fucking higher.
But yeah I plan on seeing Killing Them Softly too. |
Calc
11.29.12 | Les Miserables will be amazing and you know ur gonna see it. |
ibringyoufire
11.29.12 | Zero Dark Thirty's coming out soon, too. Might catch that. |
andcas
11.29.12 | savages was so good until the end. |
DotEight
11.29.12 | The ending of Savages was retarded.
"Here's what really happened..."
Like really? |
ibringyoufire
11.29.12 | That ending was so goddamn stupid. |
andcas
11.29.12 | also vampire hunter was fucking atrocious. high five for pax mentioning safety not guaranteed. so fucking underrated and the song kenneth sings is amazing. |
DotEight
11.29.12 | I just thought the trailer for Vampire Hunter looked absolutely ridiculous in the first place. |
Xenophanes
11.29.12 | Savages was pretty lame all the way through
Vampire Hunter was bad
Rise of the Guardians wasn't that great
The Avengers was only okay
Spiderman sucked
Prometheus was bad
The Expendables 2 wasn't even so bad it was good
But the rest are pretty ace.
|
Crysis
11.29.12 | I really enjoyed Argo. |
ibringyoufire
11.29.12 | My viewing experience for Vampire Hunter was awesome. I saw it when it was near the end of its theatrical run, so it was just me and my friends riffing it in an empty theater. |
andcas
11.29.12 | vampire hunter could have been good if they went a sam raimi route but instead they played it completely serious with
horrible cgi. |
DotEight
11.29.12 | Why would you even spend money to see Prometheus in theaters... movies around here are like $12 a ticket so best believe it better look fucking awesome for me to spend money to see it, when I can just wait for it to be released on Pirate Bay. |
ibringyoufire
11.29.12 | What the fuck was with that part where a vampire threw a horse at him? |
greg84
11.29.12 | i'd put looper and chronicle way higher, i'm not a fan of anderson so obviously 1 isn't my movie of the year |
andcas
11.29.12 | chronicle was better than looper. the ending to looper was...wtf? also I don't see what everyones problem was with the
amazing spiderman. it was a hell of a lot better than the aforementioned directors versions besides two. |
DotEight
11.29.12 | Chronicle was good for the originality of it, and the documentary-view it was shot in. But I agree with Looper needing to be at least in the top 5 of the year, what a mind fuck of a movie. |
FourthReich
11.29.12 | check out lincoln i am sure it is much better than vampire hunter. it is my favourite from this year. |
Xenophanes
11.29.12 | I was disappointed by The Master, which sucks because I was expecting a masterpiece.
"vampire hunter could have been good if they went a sam raimi route but instead they played it completely serious with horrible cgi."
This. When I heard that it was going to be a movie I thought it was going to be some sort of intentionally campy comedy. Nope, it erred on the side of drama/horror and it was one of the worst things released this year. |
Mickeymau5
11.29.12 | Lincoln |
Ignimbrite
11.29.12 | Zero Dark Thirty will be legit. And the ending of Looper was, like, the best part. |
andcas
11.29.12 | @xeno, joaquin phoenix is still the man and possibly the ultimate troll. if you haven't i'm still here you need to. still trying
to decide if it was real or not. |
Xenophanes
11.29.12 | If Goon is that hockey movie with stifler then 1.) you've lost all credibility 2.) that came out last year
If not then idk what movie you're talking about. |
greg84
11.29.12 | both chronicle and looper are definitely top5, i think amazing spiderman was decent even though the villain was quite unspectacular |
ibringyoufire
11.29.12 | Ah shit, that did come out last year. |
Xenophanes
11.29.12 | "joaquin phoenix is still the man and possibly the ultimate troll. if you haven't i'm still here you need to. still trying to decide if it was real or not."
It wasn't. He and the creators revealing it as a big stunt should have given it away. |
andcas
11.29.12 | but what if he actually did go crazy and almost ruined his career so the only way to damage control it was by making a
mockumentary saying it was all a hoax? either way it's still brilliant how he fooled all of hollywood and it perfectly
illustrates how fast the media can go from praising to trashing stars. |
Xenophanes
11.29.12 | Despite my mixed view on The Master, he definitely deserves an Oscar. It will no doubt go to Daniel Day Lewis (who was also great) though : / |
Polyethylene
11.29.12 | Loved Skyfall and TDKR, Looper was good, Avengers and Prometheus were alright. Gave a lot of these a miss because they looked less than stellar (still keen on Argo, Wreck-It Ralph, ParaNorman and Seven Psychos though) |
DotEight
11.29.12 | Seven Psychos was hilarious. |
andcas
11.29.12 | seven psychos was fucking incredible from start to finish. |
killerrabbitmp
11.30.12 | Moonrise Kingdom is one of Wes Anderson's best, and it was also my favorite of the year. |
