20 Worst Films Of 2012
Let's be honest here, 2012 wasn't cinema's brightest year. Although Looper brought terrific originality and complexity to the mix along with stunning visuals, Argo surprised and enthralled in equal measure and The Dark Knight trilogy was rounded off in pleasing style, there was barely enough brilliance to justify the masses of misguided and lazy work that came from film-makers this year. From the dreadfully thought through to the unbelievably sluggish, with a brief stop at the indifferent and uninspiring, 2012's dregs were no different to any of it's predecessors. While there will always be tremendous talent and vision out there, far more are content to release languid, dumb films that either don't resonate or even horrify. In an age where reading a book is made fun of and thinking critically is out of fashion, it was no surprise that directors and writers latched on to the trend, realising that entertainment and box office success did not necessarily accompany good art. Some bad films are funny, and some are so bad they're actually unmissable, but 2012 wasn't kind enough to bring pleasure to any of it's poorest work, only sadness and depression at the hours wasted. Let's dive right in to, in no particular order, the worst films of 2012. Agree/Disagree with my choices? Comment below!
