In an attempt to stay desperately relevant on my Biggest Films of 2012 gravy train to avoid being carted away and frozen in carbonite in WhatCulture towers giant carbonite freezing device (Youve all seen Empire Strikes Back, you know what I mean) I am once more referencing what I have deemed to be 10 of the biggest films of 2012. However in an Animal Farm style of blog writing I would like to give you the power in this and simply ask you; what is going to be the best of the 10 Biggest Films of 2012? For a little bit of help and something to, Im sure, criticise me for in the comments, here is my ranked list of what I think are going to be the top films this year. 1. Prometheus: JUST LOOK AT IT! The trailer is bigger and better than any other that has come out this year and successfully made me look like this guy from Indiana Jones. Its going to be so far beyond awesome that the only way it will be able to see it in its rear view mirror is if a nuclear bomb goes off on top of it. 2. The Dark Knight Rises: Near Prometheus on the awesome scale and is one of the most anticipated movies well, ever. It doesnt matter what happens in this film it will be universally loved and I for one cant wait to embrace the self-important Nolan narrative and drool throughout the entirety of this epic conclusion to what will, most likely, be the best threequel ever. 3. Looper: An unconventional choice, but its wildly complicated (and inherently, awesome) concept will draw inevitable comparisons with The Matrix and Inception and if it can match them: its going to be a truly wonderful film. If it cant, at least you get to sit and watch Joseph Gordon Levitt for a couple of hours, now thats worth anything. 4. The Amazing Spider-Man: What I believe will be the kick start Marvel films need to do something different and borderline creative with its films and an awesome standalone film in its own right; a tightly fitted, latex clad Andrew Garfield suffers from chaffing and then leads an tremendous looking reboot of a tired and dull franchise. 5. Disney/Pixars Brave: If its Pixar, its awesomeUnless its carsBut this isnt cars! So it is going to be a brilliant summer animation that will have us all laughing, crying, wowing and attempting our best Scottish accents like the 5 year olds we all are deep down. 6. The Hobbit: Although the idea of revisiting middle earth is a tantalising one, unless new footage shows a more interesting narrative than one we already know the ending to it doesnt rank very high on what I think will make it one of the best movies of the year. No matter how many shots of New Zealands countryside Peter Jackson assaults us with. 7. The Hunger Games: One that falls unfortunately low simply because of the quality of those around it. What I think is going to be a brilliant first entry to a potential new franchise but one that does not, as of yet, carry the weight behind it to deal out the level of Epic of those above it. Although the idea of annoying teenagers murdering each other is one that puts it in immediate contention for first place. 8. Django Unchained: We are sparse on the ground with info for this one, it could fall fowl to Quentin Tarantinos bubbling ego mania (it could for all I know be 90 minutes of a statue of himself made out of gold being worshipped by angelic children dressed in white), but if the buzz around the performances turn out to deliver. It should be an epic adventure. 9. The Avengers: What I think will be an expensive, fun, throwaway action flick will be fun whilst its the only big film out. But it will drop quickly from our memories once something definitively better comes out. No amount of Chris Hemsworth (and his wonderful, wonderful hair) can stop this from being one of the disappointments of the year. 10. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2: Any questions? No?
