2012 proved to be a record year at the box office as movie theaters generated over $10.8 billion in ticket sales. However, like any year, there were some incredible hits and epic misses along with a good amount of mediocrity sprinkled in between. This past year, I saw seventy-six movies that were released in 2012, and after having some time to think about those movies and how they stack up against other titles, I have ranked them from worst to first. So without further ado, here is the list.
