4 Best and 5 Worst "Twists" of 2012 Movies

The Worst

5. Oh, I Get It. It's Will Smith's Dad. - MIB III

Seriously, the moment it's brought up over dinner, who didn't see this one coming? With down-in-the-dumps Tommy Lee Jones grumbling, "DON'T TALK BAD ABOUT YOUR FATHER," to be met with a less-than-sly, "My dad was never around," from Smith clearly meant that at some point, we'd be getting some kind of father moment, considering we knew the movie was about time-travel. And it doesn't help that the movie is full of plot holes to begin with. This "twist" was probably one of the most eye-roll inducing ones of the summer and definitely didn't do the picture any favors.

Cameron Carpenter is an aspiring screenwriter, current film and journalism student, and self-diagnosed cinephile, which only sounds bad in certain circles. Devoted fan of comics, movies, theater, Jesus Christ, Sidney Lumet, and Peter O'Toole, he sometimes spends too much time on his Scribd and comicbookmovie.com, but doesn't think you're one to judge, devoted reader. You can follow him on Twitter to watch him talk to people you didn't know exist. Oh, and Daredevil is quite the big deal around here (my head).
