Jack Reacher 8/10
Slow in parts, but redeemed by the second half. Tom Cruise is at home playing the investigator. The script keeps things moving nicely.
This movie could've been made in the 1970s, and it would make no difference, the story is very classic in that respect.
Yeah I think it is but I didn't like the humor in the avengers and batman was pretty boring imo
I think Dredd was the best superhero movie of 2012 because it was so badass and exciting !!

I've heard really good things about Holy Motors. The Raid (The Raid: Redemption in the US) I still HIGHLY recommend for action fans (and especially to the gentleman that enjoyed Dredd) I watched some of Moonrise Kingdom but fell asleep. I like Wes Anderson, though sometimes I find his movies to be annoyingly pretentious. Looper was great, but I can't believe Prometheus didn't make the list.
Frankenweenie 9/10
Have to watch it with the right frame of mind. The concept is unique, the characters are interesting, and the animation is top notch. I think kids would love it despite the macabre setting.

The best looking indie movie you'll ever see (cost them 100 mil to make, all independently funded) Great cast, and fantastic editing considering the movie is comprised of 6 different stories spanning centuries, yet still is able to tell one cohesive story.
My only gripe was the story set in 2321 didn't really start making any sense at all till about 2 hours into the movie. And it didn't help that the characters living in the time after "the fall of earth" all spoke like Jar-Jar Binks. That's the true-true.
Overall very well done, beautiful and heartbreaking at times. Can't wait to see what the Wachowski's do with Jupiter Ascending.
5/5 the range of Ang Lee is just astonishing. All he touch gets to gold.
Insanely well done. The CGI makers must be extremely proud over their work. I believe I am not to bad spotting CGI. It´s annoying when you see it but here you have a damn tiger with tons of screen time 100 % rendered CGI but you couldn´t tell if you didn´t know! And even though I knew I couldn´t see it wasn´t real with any kind of certainty at any point. There is no uncanney valley syndrome. the other CGI animals look superb as well.
