this was a pretty good year for movies , some films may not be in this list because i havent seen them yet.
they will be in no particular order
Chronicle
one of the best realistic superhero films ive seen in a while, andrew will be a character that will be remember for a long time.
The Cabin in the Woods
a good deconstruction of the horror genre specially slashers.
The Avengers
first gathering of this group of heroes, it was and extremely fun and thrilling film
The raid: Redemption
one of the best action films ive seen in a while, the fight scenes are great and the characters are memorable.
Seeking for a friend at the end of the world
part comedy and drama, this film surprised me with a simple but interesting story and different characters
Paranorman
one of my favorite animated films of the year, hope theres a sequel following norman after saving the town
Looper
and interesting story that has great characters , though it drags a little at parts
The Hobbit: and Unexpected Journey
a good return to middle earth, gandalf , bilbo, gollum and even thorin are great characters that i hope to follow their adventures for a while.
Moonrise Kingdom
a good story about the first love of a child, growing up and trying to find out what to do with his life.
Honorable mentions
The secret world of arriety
and underrated animated film that didnt appeared in a lot of lists, the best adaptation of the borrowers ive seen i liked the friendship between arriety and shawn
Prometheus
what was called and alien prequel had some ties to the universe but wasnt that altogether.
i agree that the way the scientists acted at times werent the best
Sinister
i liked the setup and part of the story , what really bothered me was the ending actually which kind of ruined the movie for me.
