MTV Names THE DARK KNIGHT RISES As Their Top Movie Of 2012

Over at MTV News they posted up their top 10 best movies of 2012 . Of the top 10 “The Dark Knight Rises” was rated number 1 .

1. “The Dark Knight Rises”
How do you follow up one of the best comic book-inspired films of all time anchored by an immediately iconic performance? You go bigger. You raise the stakes. And you put an exclamation point on the end of it. That’s what Christopher Nolan did to close out his awe-inspiring take on the legend of Batman in “The Dark Knight Rises,” and it’s why it’s our favorite film of 2012. From Tom Hardy’s hypnotic take on Bane (a character generally dismissed as second-tier in the Batman canon) to Anne Hathaway somehow living up to and perhaps exceeding Michelle Pfeiffer’s portrayal in “Batman Returns,” Nolan made brilliant choice after brilliant choice. And then there are the final 20 minutes, a skillfully edited sequence of escalating action and emotion that gave us all goose bumps. Bruce Wayne’s story is over. But the Batman will live forever, and so will this film. — Josh Horowitz

I’m shocked with all the success The Avengers had that they put this as their number 5 . I guess that just proves when it comes down to it Batman is the best . How would you have rated this year’s movies ?
