Top 10 Best Movies of 2012

The only movies I haven't seen in the top 10, as of the time I'm posting this, are Life of Pi and The Dark Knight Rises. Critics claim that Life of Pi is similar to Avatar, which I consider the most overrated movie ever. As for The Dark Knight, I don't love Batman as much as any of the heroes in this movie. He isn't bad but is massively overrated. However, I want to give that movie a shot.

This movie, on the other hand, is one of my favorite movies ever! As a major horror buff, it's either this or the original Scream movie. Since this isn't a horror movie, it must be better. Action, humor, acting - everything is great. Haven't seen it yet? Go see it now!

I love how The Dark Knight Rises, The Avengers, The Amazing Spider-Man, The Hobbit, and pretty much all my favorite films of 2012 are up so high on this list. That being said, there is no doubt that The Dark Knight Rises really is the best one on the list.

It had the best story on the big screen this past year, the best overall cast, and it most lived up to my expectations. It also had the best movie score of the year. It was the best.

The Dark Knight Rises is truly the best movie in the entire world. I counted down to seeing this movie two months before it even came out. I have successfully watched it 46 times and still love it! I'm out of my mind obsessed.

If I could only meet Christopher Nolan, the god of all directors, it would be the best experience of my life. I would thank him for making the greatest trilogy of all time.

I've recently watched The Hunger Games, and to be honest, I was amazed! The movie was so intense. Every second of it was captivating. The characters were very well-played.

I can't believe I didn't watch it earlier. It was unbelievable. I quickly fell in love with the characters. It was just wow. I'm in a mood where all I think about is The Hunger Games, and sometimes I feel sad about fiction, as if I'm in The Hunger Games. My life revolves around it right now.

Oh yeah, and Cato's cool.

This film is amazing. Even though I knew what was coming, as I'd already read the books, it still had me on the edge of my seat, laughing and crying. It gives an insight into our own society.

Although some may pass it off as just some action movie, it really is a deep and moving experience, as well as suspenseful, leaving the viewer fully satisfied. Extremely well done. It's one of my absolute favorites.

I can see why some people might vote for movies like Dark Knight Rises, Avengers, and Hunger Games over this one. Most of them have probably never seen or heard of this movie, or any of the better movies on this list for that matter.

Now, I'm not saying they were bad movies, but this has to be the most entertaining movie I've seen in a very long time. Quentin Tarantino is personally one of my favorite directors, and he doesn't disappoint with his new spaghetti western. Seriously, guys, go see this movie.

This seriously needs to take the No. 1 spot. It has all the elements a good movie should have: great witty dialogue, some darkly funny moments, great acting (especially from Christoph Waltz and Leo DiCaprio), a long, well-developed plot, a lot of violence, and that signature Tarantino finish.

Unlike The Avengers, it doesn't rely on huge explosions and stunts to be entertaining. It's the best of 2012 by far.

It's my favorite movie! I love the cast and the storyline is just amazing. Felix is really cute. Ralph shows that even tough guys have feelings too, as demonstrated when he cried during Felix's and Calhoun's wedding (sorry for the spoilers).

I loved the sibling bond between Ralph and Vanellope. It's just like a little sister and a big brother.

As always, Disney has the best plots in every movie they produce. Wreck-It Ralph is another type of love story that not only little girls can enjoy, but the whole family as well. Its humor, graphics, and screenplay are some of the factors that make this movie part of the top 10 list.

After "Quantum of Solace," which includes some very good acting performances, Skyfall is the best Bond movie after the two best Sean Connery movies: Goldfinger and Thunderball. This makes Daniel Craig the best Bond actor, after Sean Connery, of course.

OK. I liked the movie and how it is laid out. Does anyone know that Daniel Craig is a big fat diva? Sure, he made this awesome movie, but he thought that a hotel (I'm not sure which one) was just not good enough for him.

The Queen of England stayed there overnight and she didn't complain. Still, he is a good actor.

I just really got into this movie. It made me laugh, it made me cry, and for the whole five hours of the movie, I wondered what was going to happen next. I was on the edge of my seat. I was hoping Bilbo Baggins wouldn't get eaten by a dragon.

I thought Bilbo was a brave little guy. His cute, hairy feet are just adorable. All around, this is the #1 movie of 2012.

I don't know how you can put a movie this good at #3. It has a storyline, and I cannot wait for the next five Hobbit movies. I hope they are as riveting as this one. I don't believe this list is accurate in saying it's #3. It's like saying cats actually have nine lives. They don't. They have one life, and also, it can't rain cats and dogs. I found that out the hard way.

Seth MacFarlane hasn't been a perfect guy throughout his life, but making this movie was a great call by him. Absolutely hilarious. It never gets old even after the seventh viewing.

This movie was hilarious and left you laughing. This is a movie that you really can't get bored watching. It should be much higher on the list than 7. It should at least be in the top 5.

I love this movie so much! This movie made me laugh the entire time I was watching it. You can watch it more than 10 times and you still will laugh. I think Ted is awesome.

Why are all the crappy superhero movies in the top 10? The best movies of the year should be judged by their storyline, message, entertainment value, and the effect they have on you. Life of Pi is a spectacular movie with all of these attributes. I was speechless at the end of it.

The only reason The Avengers, Spider-Man, and The Dark Knight are on the list is because people only care about action and explosions when it comes to movies, which I find stupid. What I hate most of all is that Ted is on the list. It's a crappy movie about sex and ruining your childhood. Get these movies off the list and bring movies like Life of Pi, Lincoln, Silver Linings Playbook, Looper, and Beasts of the Southern Wild up here!

The fact that "Ted" and "The Not-So-Amazing Spider-Man" are above this cinematic masterpiece is a travesty. The dialogue was perfect, the acting was on point, and the cinematography was interesting. This is one for the books.

With an absolutely thrilling performance by Day-Lewis and spectacular direction from Spielberg, this film not only exceeds expectations but also delivers an inspiring story that will please all.

Movies are not only about explosions, gunshots, and superheroes. Inspiring movies like this one are hard to find these days. Direction and acting also helped this to secure its place on the list. A masterpiece of the year 2012.

This was, hands down, the most amazing movie I saw in 2012. And I saw a lot of movies! Les Mis was so beautiful. It made me cry with the tragedy and rawness of humanity that the storyline exposed.

The acting was perfect, the graphics stunning, and it was so well executed that I didn't even notice the singing. I can't believe it's ranked so low. It should be number one!

How is this not in the Top Ten? This was the best movie of 2012. Watching it was an amazing experience, not to mention the tremendous amount of work it took to make it.

Thumbs up to all the actors for singing live and sharing their talent without cheating through studio recordings or Autotune!

Yay! I love Men in Black! Men in Black 3 is definitely a worthy addition to the MIB series!

Men in Black - Very good.
Men in Black 2 - Kinda boring, less action, and too short.
Men in Black 3 - AWESOME!

Lincoln's boring. Men in Black 3 is an enjoyable romp.

Pure comedy gold. Sometimes vulgar, but it's directed towards teens and college kids, so you have to take that into account. Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum, and Ice Cube are salubrious!

Surprisingly funny. I loved the fact that Channing and Jonah worked so well together. It wasn't too much and made for a good redo.

I watched this and Ted in one night. This was by far the funniest movie I have ever watched, on par with Hot Tub Time Machine.

This cannot be an accurate list if this is ranked so far down. Definitely the best movie of 2012 without a doubt. Once again, Ben Affleck shows that he is one of the best directors out there. This movie deserves to win an Oscar.

I recommend watching this movie as it will not let you down.

Absolutely loved this movie. Top-notch acting, great black comedy, tense moments, and a gripping, occasionally disturbing and shocking story make this an amazing film. I have no idea why it's only ranked 61 when movies of lower quality are far higher up.

Zero Dark Thirty is a brilliantly crafted film. The entire cast is perfect in their roles, and the soundtrack is beautifully dark and eerie. Although we know how it ends, the film keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

The last 30 minutes of the film is one of the most intense and incredibly well-made sequences in a long time.

Jessica Chastain is without a doubt the most underrated actress in all of Hollywood. But at least she finally won an Oscar just recently!

Should be much higher on the list. Completely underrated!

Aca-amazing movie! Great cast, particularly my favorite actor, Skylar Astin, who also has the most amazing male singing voice I have ever heard. He added a specific charm to the movie with his unmatched likability and sincerity, ending up with the best personality of any movie character ever!

Rebel Wilson, my second favorite actor, was undeniably hysterical. The jokes were hilarious, and the music was amazing. The acting and singing are perfect. Everything about this movie is perfect! It's my favorite movie of all time, and that's coming from someone who almost exclusively watches horror movies. It should be #1!

I don't know why everyone hates it. I think it's a (mostly) funny movie. I loved the characters (except for Jonathan, who got on my nerves sometimes), and the animation is awesome.

It's a movie not made for everyone, but I really loved it. My hopes for its sequel, though, are not high.

I loved this film. Simple movie, yet incredible comedy. Love it.

Don't you feel Brave is the best mother-daughter bonding film portrayed beautifully? It was touching on so many levels. Please watch.

Brave should be in the Top 20 at least! Brave is purely genius and different from any other princess story. Vote!

I think that Brave is a really good film, and I think it's the best on this list.

Hilarious yet horrifying, this definitely deserves a higher spot. The plot is very original, and the twists are great.

The ending was weird though. I have no idea who thought that up.

Finally, a movie that actually makes fun of the basic concept of a horror movie. It's a great movie, by the way. Very unique and, in some ways, very original.

This is the best movie ever. People think they already know what it's about, but boy, will you be surprised. I haven't seen a movie this good in a while.

Although a much smaller, more intimate film than, say, Lincoln or Argo, of all the films I saw this year, this one was the most inventive, original, and well-executed. It's pretty close to a perfect film, if not a particularly ambitious one.

So, I was scrolling down looking, and I almost gave up on finding a movie I like a lot (except for The Hunger Games). Then, Moonrise Kingdom! I love this movie so much. I've watched it like a million times!

I can't believe this isn't number one (except for The Hunger Games). I mean, really, this movie is by far the best on this list (except for The Hunger Games)! I love this movie!

I have watched this movie at least 20 times. I love it and could watch it even more. It's not only an amazing love story but also a dead-on portrayal of the trials and tribulations families experience when dealing with bipolar disorder.

There's something about watching dysfunctional people on screen that makes me feel much more normal. I loved this movie from the opening to the closing credits. It features brilliant casting, sincere acting, and an engaging story.

In my opinion, this is hands down the best movie of the year. A very touching story is matched with powerful acting by Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, and Robert De Niro. I have seen this movie four times, and it never ceases to amaze me. Truly a beautiful film.

This movie is hilarious. The expressions of the actors never get old. It was so good, I saw it three times while it was still in the theaters!

This movie is worth gold!

Needs to be number 1 here! Sweetie is funny, and it was also funny when Greg and Rowley were screaming their lungs out when they were on the Cranium Shaker.

Great movie! Hilarious and funny. Suitable for all ages. I recommend it to anyone. It's a must-see and has a good rating out of 5.

So many funny parts and some sad, but it turns out good.

Fantastic movie. Action-packed, great storyline, and sort of realistic!

I thought it was great from beginning to end. It definitely deserves a top 5 spot. WAY better than Django.

JFK cements himself as a legitimate Hollywood leading actor in this movie. Should be in the top five for sure.

How is this not at least number 3? Underrated, I would say.

This is one of my favorite movies of all time, which says a lot considering how new the movie is and the impact it's had on me.

It's great because when you really sit down and analyze it, it's more than just your typical sci-fi action movie. It's a dark tale about a kid named Andrew, who is a normal high schooler but has a life filled with grimness and despair.

When he acquires powers, he uses them to try to better his own life. However, life keeps throwing obstacles his way, from causing Steve's death to losing his mother. Eventually, he decides that he's had enough. The movie is really about how far someone can be pushed before they reach their breaking point.
