[SuperBanana]

Like a 7 tops.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Meh, a 3. Not a fan of many films on that list.

Only one or two that I will probably ever watch again.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

I've seen Brave and The Hobbit.

So pretty good, I guess.

 

[Edtard]

Dredd and the Grey alone made 2012 a good year.

 

[The Horror the horror]

Like a 7 tops.

You crazy. Best year for comic book/sci-fi/fantasy films the last decade.

 

[Gobias]

I'd have to look into it but there's a lot of shit on that list

 

[Bishop89]

Pretty meh year

Only Dredd is 10/10 material

 

[CheeseConey]

Like a 6. 2007 was a 10 for me.

 

[Chezzymann]

i thought the dark knight rises was meh but it gave us this video of bane talking about fiber so I give 2012 a 10/10

 

[Shaanyboi]

There are maybe 6 movies on that list that are worth watching at all. So... not great. Like a 6 at best.

 

[The Horror the horror]

Like a 6. 2007 was a 10 for me.

Just saw the 2007 list.

That year was NO JOKE

 

[Gobias]

I looked at some lists. Here are my favorite films from 2012:

Oslo, August 31st
21 Jump Street
Django
The Master
The Raid

Seems like a pretty weak year overall though. 2007 was definitely a great year for films

 

[Copenap]

You compromise the point you were trying to make by highlighting Prometheus and The Hobbit.

 

[Dishwalla]

Wow, can't believe these films are nearly five years old now. I remember going to see Wreck It Ralph like it was yesterday.

 

[Strangelove77]

Did you put Ted and The Hobbit in bold because you liked them?

 

[The Horror the horror]

Did you put Ted and The Hobbit in bold because you liked them?

What was wrong with The Hobbit?

 

[old manatee]

Why are Ted and Dark Knight Rises highlighted.

 

[Knox]

Meh.

Django and The Master were great. Looper, Dredd, Cabin in the Woods, and Moonrise Kingdom (which you left off) were good and I would watch again some day. There were other good ones too but not enough to make it an especially great year for movies.

7

 

[FTF]

Maybe a 7.

Also, you highlight Hobbit and Ted but don't even include Moonrise Kingdom, Argo, Zero Dark Thirty, Beasts of the Southern Wild or Jiro Dreams of Sushi??? For Shame OP. And highlight The Master.

 

[Moppeh]

What was wrong with The Hobbit?

It was okay at best and led to two absolutely awful movies afterwards.

Also, I think that year is fairly meh for movies. I was pretty numb to most of the big films that year.

 

[abercrombie]

Dredd was good, most others forgettable, maybe a 6/10 for me.

IMO 2010 was a great year, maybe 10/10:

How to Train Your Dragon
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
Despicable Me
Kick-Ass

runner ups:
The Book of Eli
Get Him to the Greek
Hot Tub Time Machine
Tron: Legacy
Tangled

 

[Bobby Roberts]

I would rate 2012 a

out of 10.

 

[autumnleaf]

Trying to sneak Prometheus in there like its a good movie...

 

[TheXbox]

Lame. Django, Lincoln, Skyfall are the highlights. The Grey is okay. I enjoyed The Hobbit as well, but it's not good.

Nothing is as bad as summer 2016, though. Yucky.

 

[talisayNon]

4

 

[Robot Pants]

Pretty bad.
Prometheus is the probably the worst and most disappointing movie I've ever seen so it already loses major points.

The Master
Dredd
and Django are about it for me

 

[SexyFish]

OP... how did you decide this list? Ice Age 4? The Total Recall remake?

wat

 

[Officerrob]

4 or 5, disappointing year

 

[Killer Queen]

Pretty bad.
Prometheus is the probably the worst and most disappointing movie I've ever seen so it already loses major points.

The Master
Dredd
and Django are about it for me

Have you watched like 15 movies in your life lol

 

[Alienfan]

A lot of disappointing movies there, but still a solid 7/10 overall (could have been so much more). The Oscar movies that year were mostly trash though, makes me think of 2016 as one of the better years for film.

 

[Fat4all]

Les Miserables

 

[old manatee]

[Crixus]

8/10, Hotel Transylvania being the highlight for me.

 

[Prophet Steve]

Looking at that list, pretty shit.

4/10?

Oh, seeing the movies not listed it's a bit better. Maybe 6/10. Feels difficult to judge entire years on their output.

 

[StWilson85]

Like a 6 at best. Thoroughly average year. The state of that first list, highlighting The Hobbit and not The Master. Ridiculous.

 

[Grenouille]

The best two movie of that year were The Hunt and Francis Ha.
(they are brilliant watch them)

 

[Mi goreng]

10/10

it was the year that birthed the amazing Spring Breakers

loved leaving the cinema with every stranger coming together in disgust saying "worst movie ever".

 

[Grakl]

5 at best

 

[hiredhand]

2012 was a solid 8 but the op's list is like a 4. None of my top ten films of 2012 are on it.

My top ten:
1. Zero Dark Thirty
2. Beyond the Hills
3. Spring Breakers
4. Moonrise Kingdom
5. Frances Ha
6. Wadjda
7. Beasts of the Southern Wild
8. It's Such a Beautiful Day
9. The Place Beyond the Pines
10. Sightseers

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Pretty meh year

Only Dredd is 10/10 material

.

 

[iPaul93]

Meh year if you ask me.
5/10

[LeadenStride]

You crazy. Best year for comic book/sci-fi/fantasy films the last decade.

What if you don't care about those kind of movies?

With It's Such a Beautiful Day and The Hunt 2012 had some of my favorites from this decade. There were also a bunch of other good movies like Holy Motors, Frances Ha and Amour. Out of the movies listed in the OP, Killing Them Softly is the only one I cared about. And even that one isn't particularly good, I just like it for some reason.
Overall, I think it was a decent year.

Edit: Thanks, Exploder, for the better list.

 

[Gnome]

A 6 maybe. Life of Pi, Lincoln, and Django are the best movies on there.
