I actually liked it as well, I was a big fan of the first one, mainly because of some of the action scenes especially the last one when Hitgirl kills everyone in the apartment.

While I don't think the second one was as strong, and went over the top with some of the violence, and the puke and poop scene I could have done without, I thought it was still a pretty decent movie, I'm hoping for a third one, but I doubt that will happen.

In terms of disappointments because I didn't watch a lot of movies this year.

Iron Man 3 - I thought was a huge let down for me. I hated the Manderin twist and thought it bordered on insulting, I thought the movie as a whole was fairly weak, and more of a CGI and explosion marathon

Star Trek into darkness - I just didn't feel it. I really didn't but I'm old school and the twist just wasn't done well. I also found that the camaraderie of the crew which was so natural in the original series, and even in the first reboot was nowhere to be seen here, and they tried to force it into an action movie more then a smart movie. I thought they wasted a perfectly good villain.
