The 12 Disasters of Christmas (2012)

Good concept, poorly executed.

Absolutely the worst movie.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The 12 Disasters Of Christmas is a weird movie. It is weird, because everything in it seems to be bad. The acting, the dialogues, the plot, the writing and not to forget the incredibly bad CGI (one of the worst I have ever seen). In a small town, young Jacey (Magda Apanowicz) has her birthday. And this event triggers the reappearance of 12 plagues the Mayans have encountered 1000s of years ago. But do not worry, her grandma knows she is "the chosen one" and passes an old ring on to her to stop the end of the world. There are 4 more rings to be found to stop armageddon and that gives us one and a half hours of whatever this movie is trying to be. I don't want to go into details that much, but I have to point out the CGI effects on the electric wires. I laughed so hard seeing how poorly this was executed, that the rest of the movie just left me with a smile. And not even a sour one! I even found myself enjoying it. Usually your first reaction would be, well, it was like that in the 80s sometimes. And then you notice the movie is from 2012. Nevermind then... This movie is a great opportunity for you, to show it to people who even complain about top notch CGI today. After they saw this here, they might appreciate it a lot more!

This one stank worse than the bathrooms in the Superdome during Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. Just have a few questions here and yes, there are spoilers with them so, let's get started. Question 1 as the Mayan culture died out in South America would it not be impossible for both The of that culture's bloodline and all of the Rings to wind up in the same location, in North America? What are the odds of that happening? Question 2, on the mountain why did the steam dissolve Mr. Kane however Jaycee and her father had been hit by numerous steam eruptions and came through completely unscathed? Perhaps they had Nomex underwear. Question 3 with the laser-guided stalagmites why is it that no one in this town appears bright enough to get inside? Question 4 when Mary was summoned by the sheriff to the accident site on the road, no other passerbyers, no cops, no other anybody was present at the accident. There should have been someone there who made the phone call to 911 but likely they had something else to do. And in that regard, why did Mary not even check on the other victim in the overturned vehicle? Is it possible that it was that second person in the other car who made the phone call and was just in such a hurry they decided to walk into town? Or could it have been the man in the grassy knoll with the rifle? Question 5, how did this Mayan civilization thousands of years ago hide a ring in a mine that did not exist or would not exist for a thousand years? I'm guessing these guys were good! And Question Number 6 (my personal favorite) is how in perdition's flames did Kane, Mary, Jaycee, and everybody else involved in this fiasco in between make it through the impenetrable barrier of cursed Mayan energy to get to the mine, Grant's cabin, the mountain trail, the ranger station, the Christmas Farm and find the Rings? All of these locales we're outside of the town, you know that place with the impenetrable Death Dome that's sealed everyone inside?Seriously, who writes this stuff?? Did they have a day off from KinderCare and did it in between recess and lunch period? It's like they're not even trying anymore.

Not only is the acting as poor as described, and seems to mock Mayan culture/ethnicity, but let's add that it's blatantly anti-Semitic (the character named Jude that betrays....not making this up....Mary, Joseph, Jacey (gee...J.C.?), and Peter.By the way.....the 12 Days of Christmas start AT Christmas, not before. That inaccuracy should have been enough to clue me to avoid this thing altogether.Geez, need to add more lines....this was really, really a bad movie. And a blatant rip off of Lord of the Rings. I'm honestly not sure why I'm watching to the end....

" On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love sent to me ... " You know the song don't you ? And thanks to this movie from the SyFy channel I found out a few other other things . Thinking I was going to be watching a cheap version of something THE CORE or 2012 I found out so many things I didn't before . Watching THE 12 DISASTERS OF Christmas was a highly epistemological experience The original song the 12 Days Of Christmas isn't in fact a traditional European Christmas carol but is a warning from Mayan Prophecy A complete stranger aged in their seventies can turn up at the home of a teenage girl asking to see her and no one is reminded of TO CATCH A PREDATOR Characters who are of of one hundred per cent European descent living in North America and who have never been near South America can still have a Mayan bloodline I could go on but you see the point I'm making . Whenever a character says something or does something you're left scratching your head or rubbing your chin thinking " Hmmmm I don't think any of this is at all likely " When an audience member starts bigging them self up thinking they're more erudite than the screenwriter that's a fault that can't be overcome The main problem of the movie is how inoffensive and family friendly it all is . It's not necessarily a bad thing because I did have the misfortune to watch CABIN FEVER 2 SPRING FEVER the previous night but THE 12 DISASTERS OF Christmas has the opposite effect . It's not much different from watching one of those disease of the week TVMs . It's summed by a scene where two characters find themselves in the middle of a tornado storm and a car falls towards one them . Cut to other character screaming and screen fading to black
