If the world really does end in 2012, at least we'll all go out with a bang--this will be a spectacular year for film industry!
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Despite some complaints from whiny purists, Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings adaptation has gone on to become one of the Holy Trilogies. With Jackson, and the same creative team, returning to Middle-Earth for two Hobbitmovies; the first one will definitely be one of the biggest movies of 2012 when it’s released in December, and it’ll likely see a bunch of Oscar nominations just as the previous three movies did.

The Dark Knight Rises
Superhero movies don’t have the best track record when it comes to a third entry in a series, so hopefully The Dark Knight Rises breaks the trend and ends the Nolan trilogy on a high note. If they really do make Knightfall part of the storyline, it could very well be extremely awesome. Bottomline: MUST SEE.

Snow White and the Huntsman
Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron are going to kill it in this reboot of the epic Disney adventure.
The Avengers
Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Hawkeye, and Black Widow all in the same movie fighting off Skrulls and Loki. It’s directed by geek god Joss Whedon (Firefly), so for some comic book fans; this one is looking even more exciting than Batman. Rumor has it there’s a trailer coming that will actually reveal the alien buggers, so hopefully we’ll see that soon.

The Amazing Spider-Man
What they've revealed so far looks awesome; it seems to lack the campy and weird tone that the previous series had. For those who care, they’re also really doing the Gwen Stacey saga, which means she’ll hopefully be tossed off the George Washington Bridge at the end of the third movie. The Lizard is also a villain we’ve wanted to see on the big screen for a long time.
Brave
This anticipated Pixar film will feature, for the first-time-ever, female protagonist. An Irish one at that. The plot is bound to be as lively as Pixar's animation has already proven itself to be.

John Carter
It’s taken Disney seventy years to bring the Barsoom saga to the screen (In honor of national trivia day today, I'll share this--it was originally going to be Disney's first animated feature), and it’s coming from the director of Finding Nemo and Wall-E; so it’s in pretty good hands. The trailers and TV spots have been getting progressively better as more of the movie is revealed, so our fingers crossed that it’ll turn out well. Not necessarily for youngsters...but I'm excited!

Skyfall
The word is that they want to sign Daniel Craig for three more Bond movies past his contracted five. That’ll break Roger Moore’s record, and we couldn’t be happier as he makes a fantastic bond. He has the suave that’s needed, while being able to be a complete and total naive like Connery could. Skyfall brings back Q and it’s being compared to Goldfinger in tone, which would be welcome after the first two movies that were more serious. The new director promises that this Bond film will not follow the same, somber cadence as Craig's last two Bond films.

Men in Black III
It’s been fifteen years since the original Men in Black and nearly a decade since the somewhat disappointing sequel, so the time-jumping third movie earns a spot on this list just out of curiosity to see if it’s better than the second. Word is that the filmmakers realize what went wrong with Men in Black II and hope the third is something of an apology for that one. :)

Prometheus is going to be huge for two reasons: Ridley Scott is returning to science fiction (Blade Runner). Everything that’s come out of the movie so far looks awesome. It’ll take some kind of cosmic disaster to make this one disappoint...
Cobra Commander actually looks like Cobra Commander. The Rock is playing Roadblock. Snake Eye’s stupid mask is looking more authentic. And Bruce Willis shows up as the original Joe. Yes, we are definitely looking forward to this one.
