I suppose it says something that Argo and Moonrise Kingdom are the only movies that I can remember really liking in 2012. Flight was also memorable, if you're into character dramas. I've also heard really good things about Searching for Sugar Man, but I didn't get a chance to see it in theaters.
Avengers was solid entertainment, but I wouldn't make a special trip to see it. Most of the other big releases with nerd draw were disappointments: Lincoln was overhyped Oscar-bait, Brave was forgettable, and the last Dark Knight movie was just bad (below average for summer movies, which is a low bar).
- psbp 14y agoAgree with all of it. Especially Dark Knight Rises. It was so bad that it reflected badly on the previous two films. I realized at the end of Rises how poor the character development was throughout Dark Knight, and getting (re)confused about the authenticity of Bruce Wayne's motivations in Batman Begins.
- sbuccini 14y agoI just heard about Searching for Sugar Man after watching the 60 Minutes profile on the musician. I must say, it is a fascinating story and the reviews about the documentary have been nothing but positive. Note that I haven't seen the documentary myself.
