In the explosive (literally) conclusion to the Dark Knight trilogy, Batman (Christian Bale) must face quite possibly his most formidable foe yet, in the masked Bane (Tom Hardy). This thrilling film was obviously my choice for 'Best Film of 2012'.
2. The Avengers
In the biggest superhero mash-up to date, Marvel's superheroes must battle the formiddable Loki (Tom Hiddleston) as he tries to destroy Earth. The heroes must learn to fight together, or lose the Earth forever. A combination of good acting and a well-written script makes this movie shine.
3. End of Watch
After confiscating a small amount of money and firearms from members of a notorious drug cartel, Brian Taylor (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Miguel Zavala (Michael Pena) are marked for death. This gut-clenching movie promises to keep you on the edge of your seat throughout.
4. The Hunger Games
Jennifer Lawrence stars in this nail-biting thriller as Katniss Everdeen, a tough-as-nails teenager in a dystopian post-apocalyptic future. When Katniss' sister is selected to compete in a fight to the death, Katniss must volunteer herself, taking her sister's place in the arena.
5. Skyfall
Daniel Craig returns as James Bond in the latest installment of the 007 franchise. In this film, Bond's loyalty to M is tried as her past returns to haunt her. When the agency is attacked, Bond must eliminate the threat, no matter the cost.
6. Prometheus
Prometheus is every sci-fi nerd's fantasy, as Aliens director Ridley Scott (the god of science fiction) returns to the franchise again. After discovering heiroglyphic maps, two scientists assemble a team to venture into deep space to answer questions bigger than any of them could imagine. What they find, however, will change mankind forever...
7. Looper
Time travel will be invented... In the future. And when the future's mob wants to get rid of someone, they send the target into the past, where a looper (a mercenary) disposes of the target. Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is one such looper. But everything changes when the mob decides to close his loop by sending Joe's future self to be killed.
8. Ted
In Seth MacFarlane's big screen debut, Mark Walhberg stars as John Bennett a man who must learn to live without his teddy bear. Sounds dumb? Here's the catch: The teddy bear, portrayed by MacFarlane, is actually alive.
9. Lincoln
Daniel Day Lewis stars as the titular character in this biopic that chronicles the final months of the 16th President's presidency. Lincoln must find a way to unite the country, end the Civil War and abolish slavery during a tumultuous time.
