Top movies of 2012

(I really hated the first spiderman trilogy, and i've never been able to get into comic books, so i was glad i finally had a version of spiderman i could really enjoy.)

Yeah, its probably a little over the top and done in the same style as the other 3. But i really liked the other three movies, and really enjoyed that i got to see something similar. Also i liked what they did with the drugs/genetics (but i feel like that entire story line is bullshit. mark can enlighten me if he reads this)

(I havn't examined it too closely, but this was one of the only times time travels been used that i didn't instantly think "thats bullshit" or "if i thought about that its probably bullshit (like looper)" and in general i just really enjoyed it. Possibly just because it was good enough that it was made better by osmosis from the other movies since it didn't make me feel sad for the first movie.)

(i dont know where you get off putting this above Skyfall mark. But you're a twisted SOAB) (I mainly just reallyreallyreally liked the idea of the prison/pit. i wish they made 10 more movies just about that prison, wouldn't even need to be batman movies. At first when Alfred described Bane and the Pit i was like "this is gonna be so fucking stupid" but then it turned out to be the best thing ever)

(I didn't think i was gonna enjoy this, cuz two of my best friends said it was really bad. But even though i can understand what they were bitching about, i think this was more than good at what it set out to be. And the plot changed didn't bother me at all)

(I almost put this at the top of the list, its completely over the top action-sci-fi, but for some reason i really loved the way they did. I thought the protagonist was perfect for the ridiculous nature of the film, and i just find it really enjoyable to watch, and have now seen it six or seven times. one scene just looks like a video game cuz its entirely CGI, but they didn't have the budget for top of the line CGI, and it just makes me smile every time. The pirated version i have must be injecting me with a mild dose of ecstasy or something every time i watch it)

(i haven't decided if the time travel here is bullshit, i'll have to back to the thing pat wrote and that'll probably help me decide)

I only mention it cuz its on top of marks list.
I didn't see it, so maybe its fucking amazing.
But i dont see the appeal of a movie about an adolescent dealing with life whilst being an adolescent.
Cuz im tired of doing that shit myself, i'd think of my own damned life if i wanted to dwell on things. (i only read the plot summery but it didn't seem like his life was very special, all of us experience high school, and most of us have had to deal with death thats close to us in some way, usually in multiple ways)
And if you say "thats what makes it a relatable able movie"
I'd point out that the majority of the people on the planet are probably pretty relatable for you in the same way, yet you dont become the best of friends with every one of them that you meet.
Because who cares if something is relatable if there aren't aspects that are also significantly different from the norm.
Thats where the point of a story comes in, not in the similarities but in the differences.
Make the movie "The Perks of Beating a Wallflower" And maybe that will be worth watching, cuz the thought process of becoming an abusive bully is something that isn't explored thoughtfully very often.
Otherwise we can just go and talk to real people and actually make someone feel good about themselves/do something socially constructive if we wanna deal with this adolescent storyline crap. (im glad you really enjoyed this movie mark))
