Argo

I've been wanting to see this for a while. I loved the idea and the story behind it, and the film got everything right. It got the right balance of funny and deadly serious, and got the period style and setting (in spite of the history that followed; see: Iran). I thought it was great, and like many good films I really don't have much to say other than it was good, it was fun, and totally worth the money. Ending off a great year of films with yet another hit.


Cabin in the Woods (That was awesome!)
Dredd (Cabin is still the best, but these films are getting perilously close)
Looper (Could potentially have dislodged Cabin if the creators hadn't dropped the ball on half the population)
Batman, The Dark Knight Rises (Had hiccups here and these, but it was brilliant and fun, and I loved it)
Argo (Slick and smooth, perhaps too smooth for me to get my teeth into, but a thoughtful lot of fun)
Prometheus (Flawed, but it's something new and interesting, and looked great)
Avengers (All good fun)
Paranorman (Haven't actually reviewed this one, one of my 'great, but would have liked it more when I was younger' films)
Iron Sky (First half was not my thing, but made up for it by an epic and hilarious second half)
Pirates!
An Adventure with Scientists (certainly good, but nothing memorable. I call it a meringue movie, enjoyable but not substantial)
