DOG: The Expendables isn't out just yet as I write this, but I have no doubt that it's going to be a huge hit. Well, okay, maybe it won't be a huge hit, but like Sly Stallone's return to his Rambo roots, it's going to do really well.
So here we are again, another year has passed bringing with it a near endless array of movies that both pissed off and thrilled a wide variety of audiences. Looking back, it actually wasn’t all that bad. For the genre loving geek contingent that Hollywood craves to pry money from, there was actually a wide variety of releases worth wasting your time and money on.
I can't understand why people who make these lists always place The Raid higher up than Dredd, when Dredd was written and made first, plus it's the better of the two by a fair bit. The Raid became monotonous after the first few fights. Good film, though.
This list doesn't jive. Mine would be
1)Django
2)Chronicle
3)Spiderman
4)Avengers
5)Skyfall
6)Project X
7)Dark Knight
I didn't catch Dredd, Looper,Hobbit,or Les Mis.
Dredd was one of the biggest surprises this year for me, maybe because I wasnt expecting to much , after that incredibly poor Stallone attempt.....
Wow was I wrong, I put it up there with the Punisher reboot. (the one with Thomas Jane)
However, there where alot of big budget films I felt just didnt do it for me, maybe because I had really high expectations....
Maybe on a few more viewings it'll change...
Prometheus
Avengers
Dark Knight Rises
Skyfall

i dont agree with the top 5, i think some of them are a bit of a letdown because they are sequels but branding them as the worst for 2012 i think there are more action movies inferior.
Hmm looking at that list kind of makes me hope Expendables doesn't get a sequel ;)
Though there are many action stars out there!
