Unlike "Inception," this film has a sense of humor (which you don't).

Woody Harrelson's character is ridiculously over the top and a hoot. Cusack is his goofy hero best. But the reason for all of this is pure escapism: great special effects loosely tied together with a story with a believable premise--- but who cares?
It's great entertainment, like a circus for the visually addicted.
Also, it goes by FAR faster than the pretentious "Inception."
Bonus: no Ellen Page.

I think '2012' was and is highly entertaining, so much so I bought it. - jeffreybehr 18:53:15 07/27/10 (0)
I especially loved seeing huge chunks of Fascistfornia fall into the ocean with I-hope-millions of the pinko-hypocrate-liberals who populate it.

"Bonus: no Ellen Page."? Wow. I thought she was very good in 'Inception', which I also much enjoyed. I felt she looked ...er...feeble... early in the movie with her hair tight on her head and drooping; she looks much better--and VERY nice--later in the film with her hair up.

'2012' and 'Inception' are both very good films OF THEIR OWN TYPE, the former being a highly entertaining fantasy-disaster flic and a fine excuse to eat lots of popcorn.

Let's start here: "Woody Harrelson's character is ridiculously over the top and a hoot."

I disagree, Woody is a barely tolerable asshat in every film he's been in except for Kingpin and No Country For Old Men.

"...a story with a believable premise---"

You're dead wrong on this one... Neutrinos suddenly acquire mass for no reason? They didn't even offer a bullshit explanation.

"goes by FAR faster than the pretentious "Inception."

Haven't seen that "masterpiece" yet.

"...this film has a sense of humor (which you don't)."

Au contraire! I found myself laughing at the sheer stupidity of 2012 multiple times... That's a nice way for you to get a cheap shot in, though.

- Congratulations! You laughed at a ridiculous film. If you - tinear 08:11:35 07/23/10 (0)
  expected "Hamlet," I could understand your disappointment.
  Hint: It's a Disaster film.
  Expect hokey plot.
  Expect lots of destruction.
  Expect strange characters.
  It was far, far superior to Cruise's, "War of the Worlds." That bomb wasn't even ironically funny....
