Movies: 2012 In Review

Crappy year.

Most boring movie: Amazing Spider-Man - no energy, no new ideas, no discernible talent from any of the actors aside from Emma Stone. Garfield's Peter Parker is Cameron Fry if he stayed in bed instead of going out with Ferris Bueller. A witless 2 hours.

Most Inept Movie: The Dark Knight Rises - This movie just proves Nolan doesn't understand Batman at all. A bad, dumb, stupid movie which was obviously written backwards especially the eye-rolling climax (saving Gotham from a bomb is entirely dependent on Batman having a plane with a grappling hook).

Most Disappointing: Skyfall - It's a note by note pastiche of Nolan's Batman movies. The villains have mouth injuries and interrupt an official event by disguising themselves as police and its just note for note. The plot ideas weren't good the first time, they're even worse as leftovers.

Worst movie: Prometheus - to explain this one, let me swipe a part of something my friend wrote:

INT. GIANT HEAD TESTING ROOM

SHAW
Oh my God, I just realized: the H.R. Giger creature that so-fascinated generations of moviegoers isn't a creature at all but a giant man in a HELMET! Let's remove it and stick electricity in it.

GIANT HEAD
Waaaaaarg {explodes}

SHAW
Good science today, people.


And that about sums it up.
