CNN.com writer Tom Charity has posted his ‘The 10 worst movies of 2012<\/a>‘ and decided to controversially include ‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey’ on the list. It should be noted, he specifically calls out the 48fps experience as being the ‘worst’ – not the actual film itself. Though he does take a dig at the length of the latest Middle-earth tome. The facts about ‘The Hobbit’ seem to paint a different picture: RottenTomatoes<\/a> Critic index of 65%; RottenTomatoes<\/a> audience rating of 81%; CinemaScore<\/a> rating of ‘A;’ Ringer Review<\/a> average of 4.5\/5; Three week lead at the international box office<\/a>; and breaking multiple December box office records. Looking at Mr. Charity’s other films on the list, most have a RottenTomatoes.com rating of < 30% and only one breaks the 50% mark.<\/p>\n

So what made Mr. Charity put ‘The Hobbit’ on his list? The easiest explanation is he really didn’t like the 48fps experience as he states in the article. Hey, I didn’t either (my review<\/a>) – but I wouldn’t put it on any kind of ‘worst list.’<\/p>\n

His true intention is even more transparent. He simply wants more eyeballs and a bit of controversy. Afterall, he only continues to get paid if he remains interesting. (The quote from Zoolander comes to mind…’Dance Monkey, Dance<\/a>!’) So including a popular film on his ‘worst of’ list on a major outlet like CNN.com is sure to do just that. It will definitely cause some discussion.<\/p>\n

Would you put ‘The Hobbit’ on your own worst list of 2012? Is Mr. Charity totally off base? Tell us what you think!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
