I have to admit that in the past year I didn’t spend as much time on new movies as I wanted. I saw some of the most talked about ones but I still have a lot on my to-watch list. That is why I decided to share the 2012 movies that I liked most and the ones that I most want to see.
Best I’ve seen so far
The third, most anticipated and maybe final movie of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy was awesome and absolutely satisfying. The examination of society’s faults like bureaucracy and the corruption of law and order, and most of all the exploration of human nature continues. In such a world the only thing that can bring change is a hero…
This set in the future time-traveling movie had quite an interesting concept. And the best thing is it was much better than I expected. Looper provided an unpredictable story, a great amount of twists and thrills, intrigue and strong performances.
There hasn’t been a movie as boisterously entertaining as The Avengers since the first Iron Man. It was a remarkably funny, action-filled, exciting and well-executed film with awesome cast that had great chemistry. Can’t wait for the next super-hero movie!
Although the movie was unlike the book in some ways, I loved it. The concept, yet already expolred in films like Battle Royale and The Running man , is brutal, unnerving but still interesting. Good acting, a good story and a good outcome. I look forward to seeing the rest of the movies of this series.
I liked the other 3 Spiderman movies but they concentrated way too much on the love story. I’m glad they decided to start over fresh with Spidey. Peter’s change from nerd to hero was wonderfully handeled, the characters were fantastic and fight scenes very cool, especially the one in the school. The Amazing Spider-man was truly amazing!
Please bear with me and my geekiness, but as I was writing this post I realized there are way too many movies I want to see, so I’ll post the Best to see list tomorrow. Untill then, I would love to know which are your favorite movies of 2012 🙂

I won’t spoil it for you. I’ll just say that to me it’s the best time-travelling movie since Back to the future.

You do like those films don’t you 🙂

Guilty 🙂 It’s not only the fact that I like them. It’s just that I like the idea of time-travelling and I haven’t seen a good take on it in quite a while.

Very sloppy romantic but have you seen The Lake House? Some interesting ideas on time travel and its limitations..
LikeLike
Yes, the ideas were good, I just didn’t feel the chemistry between Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves. I liked The time traveler’s wife better.

I actually liked that more than the critics did, not a bad film. off topic but have you seen Blade Runner?
LikeLike
Yeah, me too. Sure I have seen it. One of my favorite Sci-fi movies 🙂

That, Solaris and 2001 though 2001 was looking a little dated last time I saw it 😀

I like these two but I have to be in the right mood for them. Blade runner, on the other hand, I can watch and enjoy anytime.

“Blade runner, on the other hand, I can watch and enjoy anytime.” Thank you fellow human, it is a joy to meet you 🙂 Have you read the book? Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
LikeLike
As a sci-fi and fantasy fan, of course I have 🙂 And most of Philip K. Dick’s short stories too. The ideas of what exactly is “reality” and that everything is a matter of perception have always appealed to me.

Great writer, Asimov, early Clarke (did not like his later stuff so much) Simak, Disch, more lately Reynolds and Banks all good stuff 🙂

I’m a bit embarrassed to say I haven’t read Simak and Disch, but I agree about the others. Great authors! I also like Douglas Adams, H.G. Wells, Jules Verne and the little bit disturbing Kazuo Ishiguro. The Hunger games were quite good too. I should stop now 😀

I forgot C. J. Cherryh, one of my favourites 🙂 She does Sci Fi and Sci Fan, good stuff.. Oh well, as you say, I should stop now too

I’ll check her out. It’s kind of strange how we always manage to get in a discussion, isn’t it? 🙂

Yes, should stop it really, most people on here don’t talk much at all so its probably not the right thing to do 😀

Nah, i was just being silly, but how amazing is the internet, by chance I have met someone interested in the same sort of books films and music in a country i have never been to, I think its great, what is the point of doing this if we do not communicate?

I was thinking the same thing. How we can communicate so easily across the globe, every day learning something different. It really is amazing!
