2012's worst to best

Definitely the worst film I saw in 2012, abysmal.

A disappointing film from Sacha Baron Cohen, expected so much more from him. Some moments of great humour but not enough.

Another disappointment - some parts can be really funny but they are too few and far between for this to be a memorable film for 2012.

Too much hype with critics on this one - trying to be too clever which is a shame because Elizabeth Olsen is absolutely fantastic here and deserves awards recognition for her performance.

Extremely disappointing - great actors but some performances were wasted. A bland film with a laughable ending that was rustled up in five minutes.

Really scary at some points but the actual PLOT only began to take shape towards the end of the film! Before that, just jump scenes which get boring.

A pretty basic horror/thriller film with only Jennifer Lawrence's great performance keeping it afloat.

Again, Jennifer Lawrence makes this film worth watching - Bradley Cooper's just awful. Naive portrayal of mental illness makes it nearly insulting at some points.

Pretty funny but not funny enough. Fantastic performances by Sam Rockwell, Christopher Walken, Colin Farrell and Woody Harrelson but the writing was too sloppy.

I know it's controversial to have it so high in this list but I liked it. Yes it was a bit of a disappointment from Ridley Scott but Michael Fassbender was fantastic and it looks like there will be a lot of potential in sequels. Maybe answering some questions this time.

Not as good as Family Guy and a little too cliched sometimes but still a very funny film with a hilarious narration from none other than Patrick Stewart - some great cameos too.

Fairly funny film but a bit disappointing when you look at their previous films both together and individually. Like a more vulgar Men in Black for more adult audiences and it can be really funny at some points. Reviewed a bit too harshly by some.

Great ghost story and a really scary film. A good start to Daniel Radcliffe's post-Potter career and a thoroughly entertaining if not slightly predictable film.

Decent Ken Loach film about the rough lifestyles of Glasgow. Brilliant dialogue that may be a little lost on those not from Scotland. Excellent acting from the unknown cast, overall really funny.

Good yet pointless re-boot. Andrew Garfield really makes the role his own. Story itself isn't really that different from Sam RaImi's trilogy but it is still entertaining and perhaps even better than the original.

Fantastic, funny, brilliant. This film is far more intelligent that the trailers let on. Great performances from Channing Tatum and Matthew McConaughey. Discusses a lot of important issues and is more than just a chick flick.

Great film with a couple of little hitches; acting is great especially from Tom Hardy but the female characters don't have much depth. Really interesting film to watch and is thoroughly enjoyable.

Best comedy of the year without a doubt. This is surprisingly a huge success with Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum teaming up in this hilarious buddy comedy. Fantastic acting and hilarious writing.

One of 2012's most underrated films; brilliant acting from Brad Pitt and Scoot McNairy. Not as violent as expected but very intelligent and thought-provoking.

A delightful children's film by Tim Burton that is truly heart-warming and really funny. A film both adults and children can enjoy together and has Burton back on track.

One of 2012's most intelligent blockbusters showing films can be made to a high quality and still win big at the box office. Fantastic performances from Jennifer Lawrence and Stanley Tucci, let's just hope the sequels can live up to this.

Excellent third installment in Daniel Craig's Bond career. After the disappointing Quantum of Solace this really makes up for it was fantastic acting, chase and action sequences and an outstanding villain.

Technically made in 2011 but released over in the UK in 2012, this is a thoroughly entertaining action film which has non-stop, bone-crushing action from start to finish. A surprisingly great cast with fantastic fight choreography. Definitely watch this if you love proper action films.

Again, technically made in 2011.... tough to put this just outside my top 3 but it is a fantastic film nevertheless. Genius writing and direction from Joss Whedon, great performances and a really clever and funny plot. Should be on everyone's list of favourite horror movies.

Classic Sci-fi is coming back to cinemas finally. This is a really interesting film with an outstanding cast, decent dialogue and a fantastically confusing plot which is sure to leave everyone a bit confused at some point after watching it.

It pains me to not make this my favourite film of 2012 but something just managed to make the cut above it a few months ago. TDKR is a decent follow up to the fantastic Dark Knight. Performances are just as amicable with Tom Hardy giving an excellent performance. The plot is interesting and entertaining. This is an end to Nolan's Batman that doesn't disappoint.

And finally.....yes, Argo. This film really surprised me. Performances are great, the script is out of this world and to top it all off it's based on a true story! As the film goes on you get more and more nervous for the characters and it is an adrenaline filled experience. I really hope this receives some award recognition.
