Most Surprising Movie of 2012?

[Slushy]

The Hunger Games
21 Jump Street
Cabin In The Woods
Total Recall

 

[Silvermoth]

I was pleasantly surprised with the Muppets. I thought I was only into dark gritty films but it occurred to me not only can lighter movies still be made (and made well) but it takes a lot of talent to make something and light and engaging, moreso arguably than dark and gritty.

Avengers.

So far for me:

The Grey
Chronicle
21 Jump Street
The Three Stooges

Cabin in the Woods
Premium Rush
The Possession
Dredd
End of Watch

Hotel Transylvania

I don't understand why a lot of critics didn't like it. It was a lot of fun.

It definitely is more difficult to make something of lighter tone. I'm glad someone sees that.
