#BRWC10: 2012 In Film

film reviews | movies | features | BRWC The Avengers - Running Order?

To celebrate the 10 year anniversary of BRWC and as we look back the last 10 years in film I have selected six films from 2012 that I consider to still be iconic and influential today.

1. Marvel’s Avengers Assemble

The ultimate ‘Tent Pole’ movie. Joss Whedon’s magnum opus proved that a super-hero team up movie could work (Take note, DC…..) thanks in no small part to the oversight and vision of Kevin Feige and the directors of the MCU Phase 1 films that set up this team-up so perfectly with a solid back story.



2. Frankenweenie

Following his success with The Nightmare Before Christmas and The Corpse Bride, film-making visionary Tim Burton returned to stop motion to make a feature version of his short ‘Frankenweenie’ in a very personal childhood tale with adult sensibilities. This was part of a renaissance in stop motion films alongside the likes of ParaNorman, Coraline and BoxTrolls.

3. The Hunger Games

Following the success of Twilight; adaptions of Young Adult Fiction were now big business. Lionsgate rolled the dice with a big budget adaption of Suzanne Collins novels that would go on to generate a further 3 films, making it the 17th highest grossing film franchise of all time (after Pirates of the Caribbean) and boosting the career of the now oscar-winning Jennifer Lawrence. This model of two films followed by a third film in two parts is now replicated by many other franchises.
