Time to finish off ABMMW.
 
The good:
 
John Cusack: Cusack is decent here as Jackson Curtis, the only guy whose name alludes to both Jesus and 50 Cent.
 
The special effects: The special effects for this was great! How did this not get a Best Special Effects nod?
 
Woody Harrelson: Harrelson was awesome here as a loony nut who turns out to be right. Granted, it's not as good as his performance in Zombieland, but that's a pretty good performance.
 
The bad:
 
Borderline sadistic kills: Several of the kills in the move border on sadism: The three in particular are the deaths of Sasha, Tamara, and especially Gordon. Gordon's death became somewhat of a catchphrase in my house for inglorious deaths.
 
Noah: If any aspiring disaster movie writers are reading this, take this note: don't put annoying children in them! The only person who seems to understand this is Michael Bay and when Michael Bay understands something positive better than you, that's gotta suck!
 
Amanda Peet: Amanda Peet annoys me. She can't act and she's not that great to look at.
 
The awesomely bad:
 
Roland Emmerich: Man, Emmerich knows how to make destruction! Watching this movie in a theater is one of the funnest moments in my moviewatching career.
 
Oliver Platt: Platt's character is supposed to be the villain, but, due to piss-poor writing, he makes the most sense of anyone in the movie. Platt seemed to notice this and acts accordingly.
 
I got extra-credit: Back in High School, one of my teachers gave us extra credit if we saw a movie that he was interested in and wrote an essay about. This movie was one of them.
 
Well, that's it for ABMMW. Reviews for Abduction, New Year's Eve, Shark Night 3D, and a mystery review in the "Forum member reviews" section. Grade: B
Joel Schumacher is history's greatest monster!-Robot Chicken
Up next: Bucky Larson

Along with Revenge of the Fallen, New Moon, and Angels & Demons, this movie would run up for Worst Movie Everyone Saw for 2009 if there was such a penalty. The criteria: Commercial success and critical failure. I made a list of the worst films of 2009 (credits to the RAZZIES for submitting the titles) and 2012 was ranked as the 40th worst.
 
I also questioned how The Day After Tomorrow evaded the 2004 RAZZIES. Like that movie, this one got parodied in an episode of South Park (production code #1314).
 
As for the 2012 conspiracy itself, I still thinkit's nothing to fear.
 
If I've said any of this before, I don't remember saying so.

The movie is so good and so bad at the same time:
1)It entertains anyone who's into action movies,it has great special effects,funny moments,and you feel bad for any character who dies,even the mean ones.
2)The final scene,where we don't know if JACKSON will come out,and then does,is one of many cliches we see in the movie.Also,we barely hear'bout the Mayans,like if that concept was just an excuse to make a disaster movie.

And yet I'm the one full of hate? Should have known better, don't feed the troll.

Ah, specagent1. First, take your caps lock off. Second, professional critics are paid to suffer through Michael Bay movies. Third, I don't pay to see Bay's s***. Fourth, when I do watch Bay's s***, it's to mock it.

I'm much more afraid of April 2039. Some scientists once suggested a meteor would stray disturbingly close to Earth. "Spring of O-Thirty-Nine" is where it's at!
True, some say that on 12-21-2012, there might be a polar shift in which the North and South Pole with switch and thus the Earth will be thrown into chaos, much like it did in the movie. However, you bring up another interesting note, as I do recall back in 1997 or so, that NASA made the annoucement that a meteor will be headed towards Earth in 30 years ... much to the laughter and mocking of many.
