25 Most Memorable Movie Characters of 2012
The year 2012 saw over 250 movies make their way into the cineplexes worldwide, and starring in those films were thousands of characters in all shapes, sizes, creeds and species.
Ninety-five percent of those characters turn out to be forgettable, remembered only in the credits as "Woman crossing the street" - and thus end up fading into obscurity. However, the other five percent are so impressive either because of the performance by the actor portraying them or their overall visual appearance that audiences can't help but remember them for a long time.
With that in mind, we've compiled a list of what we think are the Most Memorable Movie Characters of 2012.
[These are listed in chronological order and will contain SPOILERS.]

‘Game of Thrones’ to End in Season 7? 
‘Prometheus 2′ Casting Rumor – Is the Sequel Moving Forward? 
‘Dexter’ Season 8 Trailer: The Hunt Begins – How Will it End? 
‘Halo’ Live-Action TV Series From Steven Spielberg Announced 
If you say the title of the movie and a character’s name jumps out at you. Their memorible and it doesn’t matter if their man, woman, animal, or thing.
The line that David speaks to the Engineer (which is from a longer sequence that didn’t make the final edit) is as follows:
/ida hmanəm aɪ kja namṛtuh zdɛ:taha/…/ghʷɪvah-pjorn-ɪttham sas da:tṛ kredah/
A serviceable translation into English is:
‘This man is here because he does not want to die. He believes you can give him more life’.

Tom Cruise is a nut, and his movies are just plain suck. I used to like him but now he’s got Scientology on the brain. It’s affecting his acting, and choice of films
This move was SOOO BAD I almost couldn’t watch it. It was one of those movies that left me scratching my head saying, “What the hell did we just watch?” While I would agree Matthew’s character was interesting, the whole movie bombed SOOO BADLY that I regret those painful hours of my life I can never get back!
How does Bane make it and not the Joker?
Because this is a list of characters in movies in 2012.
I’m not quite sure if you’re serious. You list the f*cking Zec and not Freddie Quell or Lancaster Dodd in The Master?
Hadn’t seen Dark Knight Rises. Coming from Netflix after I return the disks I have. Thanks for telling me how the movie ends. Of course, I could have heeded the spoiler alert. Oh, wait.
That’s you’re own fault. The opening page says it’ll have spoilers.
your*
Who da man!? Hushpuppy da man!
Having the Engineers on this list – who can barely even be called characters, basically because they look cool, is silly, especially when they’re taking a place that could be filled by Katniss Everdeen, Calvin Candie or Stephen from Django Unchained, Selina Kyle, Tiffany from Silver Linings Playbook (or almost anyone from that movie, really), Freddie Quell and Lancaster Dodd from The Master, Mark O’Brien or Cheryl from The Sessions, or (since you’re fond of “Lincoln”) Thaddeus Stevens… In fact, I could probably make a Top 100 Characters More Memorable than the Engineers list.
Not that I disagree with the article overall, but every single major character in Django Unchained stands head and shoulders above any character on this list.
In fact when Tarantino makes a movie, there will be no better characters that year.
Ok seriously? An article about the 25 best characters from OVER 250 FILMS and there are spoilers? Who the hell out there saw all the films included in this list and therefore would be safe from the spoilers??? If your going to do a list like this and have any sort of credibility, remove the spoilers.
You should have included the christopher waltz’s German Nazi officer character in Inglorious Bastards. CW was awesome in it.
That wasn’t in 2012 though
No Azog for the Hobbit? he could’ve been my top choice here.
Thorin OAKENSHIELD, not Oakshield.
Mr. Smith from Django Unchained
Dude, once I saw Stacee Jaxx on this list I lost it, in a good way, because he definitely completed the list haha. I never expected this character to land on such a list.
