Proof that this year will be the best superhero year ever

Two of my favorite films of 2012. It's close, but I'm going with The Avengers. Chronicle is extremely original and intelligent though.

Avengers. Yeah, Chronicle was good...but good ain't enough this time around...

Chronicle get this one easily, with no doubt whatsoever. No hate at all for "The Avengers".

Chronicle is a fantastic film! The Avengers is just a bit better at being fantastic.

Chronicle was great! But the Avengers edges out BARELY! Chronicle will always be the best found footage film

Both will probably be in my top 5 of 2012, but whereas The Avengers was a good, hearty romp (and expertly handled given the enormity of the task possessed by Joss Whedon), Chronicle, which I had my doubts about before purchasing it on DVD, having not seen it in the cinema, completely blew me away. I must emphasise that I do not use that phrase lightly as it really irritates me, but I really wish I had seen it in the cinema. I have issues with both, and The Avengers is probably a more consistent film, but the high points of Chronicle completely overshadow anything The Avengers had to offer. So I'm going to go with American Akira, but like I said, both will probably be in my Top 5 of 2012, or very close to it.

Chronicle had much stronger character development and it wad emotionally gripping. Worked great as both a character piece and a super hero film. Avengers was lots of fun, but I like my blockbusters with a little more substance.

Chronicle is about a whiny baby with a handheld camera. Surprisingly enjoyable for whst it is, but it's still about a bitch. But maybe loser bitches = substance.
