Yes, technically this film is released next year. I don't care. In fact, this film is so good, I'll probably go see again next year and put it high up on next year's ratings too. The cast in this film is astounding. I love Mark Strong. I love Paul Bettany. They are both spot-on in this film ("spot-on" has pretty much become my go-to end of year saying). The relationships between the characters are rightly at the heart of this film and that's what makes it so good. Forget that it's a police drama. Forget the totally amazing HOLY COW moment. How the brothers related to each other and their father. How they related to their colleagues. Everything. Best film.

Most exciting, edge of seat and constantly heart in mouth film all year. Unexpected too. Wow.

I admit, my anticipation of this film had been through the roof. Possibly well up in orbit too, by the time it finally arrived. And rightly so. This was everything I could have wanted from the first instalment of The Hobbit apart from I could have done with another hour of it. Yes, you heard. I wanted it LONGER.

When I saw Avengers back at the end of April, I honestly thought that it would be my film of the year and then the week after I did an iLL Manors/Red Tails double bill that was so emotionally draining and incredible and awesome it was like my whole worldview was smashed and rearrange. Nevertheless, Avengers was a great film - and achieved the difficult task of squishing so many awesome characters, who either have their own franchise or deserve one, into the single film. Ok, so the balance could have been better. There could have been more of it. Overall though, it was a good, coherent film.

AMAZING. The blood. The violence. The Dredd being totally Dredd. ANDERSON BEING COMPLETELY PERFECT IN EVERY WAY. Ma-Ma being BADASS. The 3D in this film was good. I don't usually go to see 3D because the glasses are annoying over my regular glasses and for the most part it's pointless. In this film it really worked.

I liked it. There's not that much to say. Other than perhaps the performances all round were wicked.

The film was about a woman totally kicking ass and taking names. The rarity of having a female action hero already gave this film some extra points, but the balance of the film was just right, the story was good and the action was fantastic.

WIBBLEY WOBBLY TIMEY WIMEY. It doesn't matter that JGL never really looked like Bruce Willis or that they never really explained how time travel worked in that universe - these things were unnecessary. Investigating just what you might sacrifice to get what you want, the morality of those decisions, whether you could go too far and how far you might go to do the right thing? That's what it was all about and it just happened to be squished into the future. Great.

Unremittingly grim. Unconventionally arranged. Heavy emphasis on music. Referred to as "harrowing" in nearly every review I read. It was great. Sad-making to watch, Drew really brought together all the threads of the individual stories to paint the larger picture really well.

Unexpected stuff happens. Stuff to do with identity and belonging happens. All of this is stuff that I like. Also, Viggo Mortensen.

Less body horror for me and more interesting examination of the nature of celebrity.

Far far far more bloody, gory and violent then I had really expected. Not in a bad way though. My mum loved it.

Enjoyable, but nothing new.

This one works best if you think of it as a love story (not really a romantic one, more a familial one) between Snow White and the Queen. I still have no idea why the Huntsman was even in the title.

Supposed to be "shocking" and "controversial". Wasn't. Apart from the sliiiight shades of Oedipus. Which wasn't that out there really. It was okay.

Only slightly better than Anna Karenina because of Mars.

Jude Law was awesome in this. Everyone else was a bit meh.

This was bad. I hated all of the characters. Even Twilight had one character that I could tolerate (Bella's dad). Disappointing.
