Haven't seen much this year, but unfortunately I saw one of the biggest turkeys ever on Saturday - Cloud Atlas. massive budget, stellar cast, utterly dire, as if the directors wanted to achieve their fantasy of making six different films at the same time . Unless you are quite sure, avoid like the plague, it is three hours long, and you can't get those hours back.

tbh i'm really looking forward to the next month or so of film. The Hobbit part 1 release and Django Unchained

Bedsaddick

End of Watch was my favourite.
Most overhyped was The Dark Night Rises.

This year has been great for cinema - the box office both in the UK, the US and globally will be the biggest ever in one calendar year. Three or four amazing films, but also a pile of shite too.

Favourite Movie: The Avengers
The 'Gimme My Money Back' Award: Paranorman
Most Over-hyped: John Carter
Most Underrated: Argo
The Brett Ratner Award For Averageness: Hunger Games
Instant Oscar Contender (Performance or Film): Argo

I love film but lack of money and a reliable babysitter means I (we) have only seen one film released at cinema this year - skyfall, and I would put that in the most overhyped category.

No, but I was stuck in a public toilet for 45 mins the other week! True story....

I have been to the pictures since, but I find it hard to get past the hot-dog seller.

That's interesting. I figured it's either going to be a powerhouse classic of epic proportions, or utter drivel! Guess it's the latter... So that's two good films out of six for the Wachowski brother... and that's not including V For Vendetta!!
