That's like giving Attack of the Clones 5 stars all over again.
Dredd was a far better film than the uneven Dark Knight Rises or the big budget TV film that was Avengers so if you were going to go for a comic book movie,that would have been my choice.

Surprised not to see The Master in here. Also, this list isn't bad aside form the number 1 spot. Avengers as the number 1 film of the year? It's great, but come on.

Anyway, here's my list (top 10):

1) Beasts Of The Southern Wild
2) Holy Motors
3) Argo
4) The Dark Knight Rises
5) Safety Not Guaranteed
6) Rust And Bone
7) Amour
8) End Of Watch
9) The Hobbit
10) Moonrise Kingdom

All great films, and overall a much better year than last year. I think The Master and Life Of Pi could end up on here once I've seen them.

I actually think there has been a mistake in this list with regards to 'The Master' I think you guy actually forgot about adding it, pretty bad for a publishing company but hey ho there you go. With regards to 'The Avengers', a bit of a joke but as a previous person has said on here 2012 was a pretty naff year for films. Also no 'The Hobbit' and 'Prometheus'. We have been lucky the last couple of years with the likes of 'Inception' 'Tree of Life' etc i guess there was going to be an off year round the corner.

Firstly, Oldb0y - your top ten lists at least 3 films not yet on general release. Surely you can't criticise Empire for not including them?
Also, TheColumist - can I thank you on behalf of all the Empire readers for telling us the name of the director for each of your Top 20 films - we all had no idea.
Finally, Empire - yet again you fill your top 20 with 4 star films and omit a numberi of 5 star films. I know the reviews represent 1 person's opinion and not everyone involved in Empire but I do find it a bit frustrating and personally, though I subscribe to you and not Total Film, I do tend to trust their reviews more (though you always have the better features).
For me The Raid was the film of the year, Dark Knight Rises no.2 and I'll have to have a think about the rest...
I'm sure you'll all be waiting with baited breath.

Quite a few films on the list have passed me by.. a few more Hunger Games and Hobbitses would have done nicely. No problem with the Avengers at number 1 though - ok it's not the best film perhaps but it was outstandingly entertaining and I saw it 4 times - though that may have had something to do with being in love with Loki! Main complaint: Life of Pi should be much, much higher, I thought it was stunning and deeply moving. I also don't see how the novel is 'a slog' - I couldn't put it down and Ang Lee did it proud.

Yes, well Empire Magazine has become so unbelievably fickle. A lot of the time they give something a great review (new Star Wars trilogy for example) then, thanks to general opinion, begin to agree and say the films suck. In five years they will probably, and rightly, say that Skyfall was alright, but not great. Because it wasn't. They gave Quantum Of Solace four stars (yes, FOUR), then realised, when everyone said it was crap, that it was... well, crap. They thought the Master amazing, but are saying that Skyfall was better. That Skyfall was better than The Raid. Than Life Of Pi. The Master, The Raid and Life Of Pi will, in years to come, be regarded in a far superior echelon of films than Skyfall. Trust me.

p.s. I avoided the Avengers Assemble debate because I think Empire are joking with that one. They must be.

Can nobody communicate an opinion without going into a mouth foaming frenzy, I have seen far worse best of 2012 lists and much of what is here is fine. Yes The Master is a glaring omission but that is just how it is. Personally I would have put Berberian Sound Studio or The Imposter at number 1 and I happen to think TDKR is worthy of a Top 3 position too. Amazing how a film can remain so well rated on polls and yet be torn apart by blogs and the like. I also would have liked to have seen Room 237 appear but that was probably never going to realistically happen.

 I might be a bit too populist for this magazine, but I'm very surprised at the omission of Ted (or any other comedies) and pleased that the awful Cabin In The Woods is omitted.

I personally loved Avengers & despite seeing TDKR three times on the day it came out, I'm still not sure it's better than TDK. If they were as awful as these comments seem to suggest, then how were cinemas consistently sold-out for weeks on end?

I was recommended Chronicle by Karen Krizanovich on Twitter after I said I hated Cabin, and she was right - there seems to be a clear divide: those who liked Cabin hated Chronicle and vice versa.

Oh, and Looper was the biggest disappointment in years - I'd been really looking forward to it as well. I might give it a second go on DVD, but really it should have left me leaving the cinema going "wow" instead of "huh?". Prometheus did the same, but that's not getting a second chance.

And an honourable mention to Skyfall for making this diehard Bond-hater go and see (& really enjoy) a Bond film.

Well that's my contribution to the debate - bring on the haters!!

Avengers was a hugely entertaining movie, as was skyfall and there worthy of there positions! Should swap TDKR (the godfather 3 of the batman movies!) for the hobbit though!
