7 Hotel Transylvania

6 The Expendables 2

5 Skyfall
skyfall-007-poster.jpg

Have not seen this movie but have a good feeling about it and really i have never not liked a bond film since Craig took the job over so am having a good feeling my projected 5 will stay.

4 The Amazing Spider-Man
309c6828.jpg


3 Avengers

2 The Hobbit
The-Hobbit-Dishes-Dragonlord-1.jpg

I have not seen this movie but i just have a very good feeling about the films and even though loved Avengers i just feel 1 and 2 were made better on my list.

1 The Dark Knight Rises

6a88872c.jpg

A truly powerful movie and actors were great. I know Bane sounded a bit like Sean Connery but I simply liked Bane the villain and its not as good as Nolans first 2 entries but It is easily number 1 this year with the hobbit second and Fun Avengers 3rd.
