Best of 2012: Number 1






1. The Avengers:

After months of work oriented distractions and technical errors resulting in the complete rewrite of this entry twice, it finally sees the light of day to no surprise to anyone that knows my preferences whatsoever.

“The Avengers” may feel like a total Hollywood copout of an answer to best film of 2012 but I didn’t choose this film simply for what it is but for the way that it changed the game. On its own, “The Avengers” is the highly satisfying fruits of the labor of a film project that may go down in history as one of the most ambitious concepts ever conceived of for the silver screen.

Tying together four properties under a framework allowing for more to be integrated later was a daunting task in and of itself but crafting a fun, witty, and even meaningful film with more spectacle than a Michael Bay film while still having a brain in the areas that matter is nothing short of a miracle.

“The Avengers” is the new paragon that anything with Hollywood support should strive to achieve and as far as I’m concerned, nothing less will do.
