Re: The Movie of 2012
Posted: Mon Jan 07, 2013 4:27 amHaha, I forget about Dredd.
I enjoy violent, funny films, so I'd recommend John Dies at the End.
Batman Whatever was unintentionally funny and silly.
The Avengers was an enjoyable epic.
Skyfall was a tad boring--to my surprise. The 'bad guy' seemed thrown in there too late; it was awkward.
The Hobbit was the Hobbit. One big improvement was that I didn't fall asleep during the film.
Hunger Games was a lame Battle Royale.
Prometheus was interesting at parts, but it really was lacking some thing. It's difficult to say... maybe better character development and more dramatic scenes where you become more concerned about the danger that the characters face--e.g. in Alien, the scene with that guy holding the flamethrower while he's hunched over and creeping through the air ducts while looking forward... then behind him... then forward... searching for that alien. Great stuff, but Prometheus lacked that. Most of the action scenes in Prometheus seemed too glossed over and detached; maybe that's due to my usual take on that kind of CGI.
Still gonna go with John Dies at the End.
