I haven't seen any of the movies and I only watch 2 of the tv shows. AHS and TWD

The only movie I've seen is The Dark Knight Rises. I'm hoping to see Les Miserables the weekend after Christmas.

I'm a little disappointed that Once Upon A Time didn't make the TV list.

V: What do you think about Dark Knight Rising making the list, but not Prometheus?

V: What do you think about Dark Knight Rising making the list, but not Prometheus?

Prometheus has it's fair share of flaws so I don't expect it to make it to any "Best of 2012" lists, except maybe visual/sound effects and/or cinematography. Even there they might be lucky to score an Oscar, now that Life of Pi has come out (with The Avengers already breathing down their necks).

That being said, no movie is spared from flaws (narrative or technical) but then other films, even The Dark Knight Rises, have comparatively lesser scenes (read "problems") where the audiences can point an accusing finger at them. Too bad Prometheus is appreciated only by the few, and ridiculed by the majority.

Hmmm Life of Pi is on there eh? I was really steering clear of any movie from the director of "The Hulk" but I might cave in and check it out.
