END OF YEAR POLL: What Was Your Favorite CBM Performance Of 2012?

Mark Ruffalo and Bale or tom hardy

It was between RDJ, Hardy and Urban for me. Chose Hardy, the most memorable of the lot.

michael caine & mark ruffalo(motion capture hulk)

Bale. Fresh from his oscar. Everyone is good though. I like the guy from chronicle as well

Alright, I'm going with Urban as Dredd. From all those performances listed above, none took me so deeply into the character like Urban did. Hell, if I never knew Karl Urban was in the role, I'd just assume that was a Judge Dredd sent from an alternate reality to star in the movie!

for me a tie between ruffalo and urban. both got a lot of shit from fanboys for taking roles previously done by other actors, but both were very good at the end.

bale and downey were good as usual but its the third time with the same character. the others were okay.

'The Amazing Spider-Man' has a LOT of problems, but Garfield's performance is not one of them. He absolutely became Peter Parker. That's my vote, even though Bane was fantastic as well.

Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo and Andrew Garfield.

1- Mark Ruffalo
2- Karl Urban
3- Anne Hathaway

Christian Bale: He's brilliant as usual, but I think it's the fact that I've seen his equally great performances in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight that prevents me from voting for him.

Anne Hathaway: A solid performance, and she delivered a great Selina Kyle, but I'm not feeling anything that special from her, in the end.

Tom Hardy: Perhaps my close 2nd pick. A pretty damn unique performance that departs from the actor's typical roles, and he adds into it by delivering the many powerful moments of the movie which I still like to revisit until now.

Andrew Garfield: He's great as both Peter Parker and Spider-Man, but again, I don't feel that he's so special. I can't wait to see more of his Spidey, though.

Emma Stone: Very pleasing, indeed...um, her acting. But yeah, I didn't find anything to be so impressed about from her performance.

Judge Dredd Karl Urban: Well, he is Judge Dredd.

Josh Brolin: An impressive performance, especially in mimicking Tommy Lee Jones, but failed to quite match up to the likes of Karl Urban's Dredd, IMO.

Robert Downey, Jr.: Much like Bale, I think it's because I've seen him starring in two solo movies prior that he didn't impress me as much. A solid performance nonetheless, but the poor make-up which made him look like Black Widow's father degrades it a bit for me.

Chris Evans: Captain America is my favorite character, so it's not a surprise that I nearly voted for him! Regardless of that, Evans' performance was brilliant (especially in some of thosee deleted scenes), but Urban's Dredd still wins.

Chris Hemsworth: A great Thor, but he displayed nothing special in The Avengers. Well, his battle against the Hulk was epic, though.

Mark Ruffalo: He's the best Banner by far, and that's saying quite a lot because I really liked Norton in the role, but he still can't beat Urban, to me.

Tom Hiddleston: Such a stellar and smooth performance. But, still...

Dane DeHaan: The breakout star that surprised me a LOT. He was terrific as Andrew, which is one of the reasons of why Chronicle is my favorite movies of 2012, and I'm eager to see more from this guy.

But, seriously. Where the hell is Nicholas Cage as Johnny Blaze?

i didnt even see MIB3 but just seein Josh Brolin mimick Tommy Lee Jones gets my vote.

Mark Ruffalo for me. He was the most convincing onscreen Banner yet and gave the character personality.

Mark Ruffalo, I actually cared for his Banner more then Norton's and it didn't seem like he had to try to hard to play him either, he's chemistry with RDJ was also faultless that I wanted to see more of it and he did a great job with Hulk.

I'm guessing we'll get the results of all the polls in one big article?

Alot of really good performances this year but the best was Karl Urbain with honourable mentions to Josh Brolin and Mark Ruffalo.
As much as I like Bale in other roles (Patrick Bateman especially) his Batman is a cut below.

Bale, Hardy, Caine, Hathaway, Oldman, Garfield, Hiddleston. It's unfair because tdkr is an ensemble film, it's the most oscar actors in a comicbookmovie.

Karl Urban as Dredd.....Olivia Thirby as Anderson....Leans Heady as MaMa....Tom Hardy as Bane

Really guys, HARDY?....almost everyone on this list did a better job...

This is tough.

Bale, Cane, Hardy and Hathaway all gave good performances.

Garfield gave a good performance.

RDJ, Ruffalo, and Hiddleston gave good performances.

Hemsworth gave a pretty good performance.

Idk, for some reason I didn't care for Evans in Avengers. I liked him in TFA but I did not give a flip for Cap in Avengers.

Ya Tom hardy as bane hands down. Mark was ok as banner but nothing that stands out honestly, hulk will always be the hulk.

I'd say:

- Chris Evans for Cap
- Mark Ruffalo for Banner/Hulk

the points that @Teabag made were spot on !

Definitely got to give this one to the Hulk.

Next poll: who will be the best villain of 2013?
The Mandarin
General Zod
Silver Samurai
Malekith the Accursed

I didnt think about how much great acting there was this year until this poll, from Alfred to Dr Connors.


I am going to have to give this to Andrew Garfield, I would say TASM owes half of its success to his very strong performance.

Definitely
Mark Ruffalo as Hulk
and
Andrew Garfield as spiderman
Because, both of them were a very nice surprise.
