Skyfall was.... [In reply to] Can't Post
Awesome and I enjoyed the heck out of it. That being said for me it wasn't close to The Hobbit and only one film in 2012 could come close. That film was Lincoln which I would put in my personal top 5-10 favorite films ever. The avengers was a blast for me but its not at the level of those two for me but I do think its the best comic book movie ever.

I will agree with anyone that WB needed to market The Hobbit a little better. It wasn't bad but I thought it could have been stronger.
