    I LOVE The Dark Knight Rises. I LOVE Bane. I think it's the second best film of the year. But the opening plane heist is EASILY the most overblown, overhyped scene in the entire film. I think it's AWFUL. Poorly paced, poorly written, poorly acted. Bane's voice is UNBEARABLE in that scene, whereas the rest of the film I thought he was fine. There was no suspense to Bane's reveal, unlike with "The Dark Knight." Frankly, that's what it was- an attempt to rehash on the success of "The Dark Knight's" opening sequence. And while, I (in my own opinion) truly believe that "Rises" surpassed its predecessor, I think that the plane heist was a terrible way to open the film.

    I know people will bring up why isn't avengers in this list anywhere. But the one scene missing for me was the releasing of the nightmares in cabin in the woods, bat s**t crazy and so exciting for a horror geek!

    A nice selection. My favourite scene from Prometheus was the first minute before everything else went so terribly down hill. Biggest disappointment of the year? Joint with The Dark Knight Rises. I don't think time will be kind on Nolan's film. It's his worst film to date.

    Would have liked to have seen the Raid feature somewhere on here - any of the machete fight scenes should be worthy of a shout (maybe on these lists TF could add a 'honorable mentions' entry at the end). Also, i know its a different thing and its only from a movie, but is it a little in bad taste to include a scene where someone guns down their co-workers in a laboratory considering the recent events in America?

    Love the fact that the cemetry shoot-out is in there! love that scene... Just a bit confused why the "Hulk Smash" isn't in there and/or the release of the nightmares in Cabin in the Woods? Bane was a worthy number 1 though :D

    Yeah,would have liked to have seen the Hulk-punching-the-alien-dragon thing from Avengers. Agree with Pearcey on Cabin In The Woods as well, great scene. Not so much a scene as such but also the opening credit sequence to Skyfall which was one of the best ever seen in a Bond film IMO. Don't think anything from Prometheus deserved to be in there, the film was maybe the biggest cinematic letdown of 2012. Last year's Caesar's "Noooooo" from Rise of the Planet Of The Apes still tops anything on this year's list though.

    Bilbo vs Gollum should have been in there. Serkis provides a masterclass in subtle gestures that make you forget you are watching a CG'd character. Plus there was massive plotholes in TDKR, like how come no-one has the presence of mind to take off the CIA prisoners hoods BEFORE they got on the plane? How come Batman is weaker than Bane with a non-damaged back?

    LOVED Looper, but I'd have picked the scene showing the demise of Seth/future Seth. Chilling stuff.

    10% of these scenes feature Matthew McConaughey. I've woken up in a parallel universe, haven't I?

    The plane heist had my jaw on the floor when I saw it in the cinema.

    @dancarmody DAMN RIGHT!! It was both hilarious, shocking and epic all at the same time. It blew my mind - one of my favourite movie moments of all time, let alone just this year.
