I must say i think this year was a pretty weak year overall. There was a lot of solid movies but hardly any amazing movies.

Anyways i watched quite a lot of movies this year, as i do every year :), and these are my favourite movies and also movies that i felt was well done:

1. Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Hands down the best movie of the year for me, but then again it was a pretty weak year, irrespective it was really well done and i enjoyed it.
2. X-Men First class. Very good movie, a more focused story and less about the action this time around but surprisingly i didnt mind.
3. Warrior. I had no clue what this was about going in, but being a fan of UFC and mixed martial arts fighting i was genuinely surprised i also found the fights to be portrayed accurately. Very emotional last fight, although at that point you already know whose gonna win it. I wouldnt say this is one of the best movies this year, but it was a personal favourite.
4. Real Steel. Again i had no clue what this was about i hadnt even watched a trailer of it. Again a nice surprise, i know a lot of people just see a rocky clone and although i dont agree with that, i dont really care because it was entertaining :)
5. Rango. Hardly any good animated movies this year, but Rango was pretty well done.
6. Zookepeer. Funny as hell! Especially the scene when they playing with the drapes at the party LOL.
7. Crazy stupid love. Yeah i like romantic comedies -_- dont hate.

Other movies i thought were good and enjoyed but wasnt really anything special: Immortals, Three Musketeers, The Change-up, Friends With Benefits, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, Pirates of The Caribbean 4, Thor, Water for Elephants, Hall Pass, The Eagle, Just Go With It, No Strings Attached.

Movies that dissapointed me: KUNG FUU PANDA 2 I actually though it was a good movie but the first one is a masterpiece and everything was done perfectly in the first one, it is also one of my all time favorites, the second one just doesnt compare. I also though contagion was a load of horse shit.
