Movie of the Year 2012

John Carter of Mars

 

An excellent rendering of one of Edgar Rice Burroughs pulp fantasy classics that lost some of its luster at the box office because many might have thought it was a cheap remake of the Avatar franchise whereas, in fact, Avatar was more likely an expensive adaptation of Burroughs’ Martian Chronicle.

 

Honourable mention:  Dark Shadows

 

…The rest at the box-office

 

Most Memorable Movie Scene of the Year:  The scene from The  Avengers (an otherwise been there, seen that flick) where Hulk casually backhands Thor across the room after they successfully save the day.
