I think Avengers destroyed the Box Office right?

but I dont necessarily rate that the best movie as I am not into the comic movies much.

I will go with a couple movies I thought were good this year.. Safe House, Bourne Legacy, Contraband.. and I will include Hunger Games even though I havent seen it yet.. but I am pretty sure the craze america went through over it, it has to be decent. :103631605

WTF? How can you include a movie in your list of best movies in 2012 if you haven't even seen it!!!????

BTW Hunger Games kinda sucked.

Bourne Legacy was good. I forgot about that one.

From what I have seen I'd go with Prometheus but personally I think television is way better than movies these days. There are some really good shows out right now.

Why you guys think Safe House was so good as to be movie of the year? I felt like i saw the movie 10 times already with different characters. Seemed like nothing but recycled Hollywood crap. For me it twas Looper and Dark Knight Rises.

well same reason I know that Avengers won the box office.. I just know what movies people were seeing and even I downloaded Hunger Games to watch but never could get myself to actually sit for 2 hrs plus and watch it.. mind u i see tons of movies and shows all the time and that one I also jumped over. heh.. but i have it here to watch in 1080p anytime i wish.. :):)

for u to say Safe House is recycled crap and then to list Dark Knight Rises which in effect is recycled movie with a new adaption to storyline/backlog/etc(not crap though) is quite interesting @):mad: - basically writer made new life/storyline for the characters but he still recycled other people's stuff from year's past just like all the comic book movies.

as far as Safe House goes - I personally wasnt listing it number 1.. i was making a random list.. and i only seen it 1 time so maybe after 10 views I might adjust my mind. puff_>>

Murph, I bought the Avengers DVD against my better judgment and I got through 30 minutes before I stopped it. Now I use it as a coaster. That's how bad I thought it was. I hate shows like Transformers and the X-men.

Of all the movies in 2012, The Avengers would come closest to being considered "great".

Other GOOD ones (That I've seen) were:

Prometheus
The Dark Night Rises
21 Jump Street
Taken 2
The Hunger Games
Spider Man
Chronicle
The Grey
The Hobbit (To Come)

The Avengers looked like a kid's movie to me. Couldnt get through 20 minutes of it. Hunger Games was actually a decent watch.

I will tell you what. Since getting into amazon prime I have learned that the more unheard of and more obscure a movie is it increases the likelihood that the movie will be great.
so I have spent most of 2012 watching obscure movies I never heard of before and I have been surprised to find out there are some damn good movies out there in obscurity
