I will give you this--you can certainly see where the money was spent. Costing an estimated $260 million, 2012 has the kind of special effects that are absolutely eye-popping, but when the action stops and the plot takes over, well, let's just say if you have to go out to the lobby and re-fill your popcorn bag, you won't miss a thing.
