This.Damn good film worthy of underrated gem status. Starts a bit slow and has some filler scenes, but gets better as it progresses. It's hard to imagine any classic rock fan not liking this.I've said it before, but James Gandolfini will be missed. Helluva actor.

At times hilarious and consistently terrible, this is both one of the funniest and worst films of 2012.

What the hell is Woody thinking here?It works great as a travel brochure for Rome, and the score is fun. That said, outside of some fleeting amusements and Cruz's cleavage this film is objectively bad on a surprising level.

Ahhh the paradox at hand. There's a lot going on in this film, and yet, very little actually happens regarding the core story.I actually enjoyed the first Hobbit film, I thought it was a good pre-cursor to the Hobbit trilogy and also had some interesting insights into the impending LOTR trilogy. TDOS, however, had very little flow and is about as inorganic of a film of you can find. This entire film simply feels like an excuse to get to the 3rd film. I liken it to a stand-up show in which the headlining comic is an hour late, and the introducing comic has to spout off forced lame ass jokes to keep the audience interested.Special mention has to go to the laughable "ending." There's cliffhanger endings, and then there's just simply ending the film mid-scene."I am death.""What have we done?"*Fade to black*LMAO.

There's sucking the well dry, and then there's the PA series.Simply put, Katie walking around doing her best impersonation of a rigid walking penis does not constitute suspense or tension. I'll catch the 5th one eventually, but I'll be damned if I'm going to be dense enough to drop $10 to see it at the theater.

LMAO.As expected, one the worst films of the year.The opening homage intro to the original is a nice touch. Everything else is abysmal as fuck and an embarrassment to all involved. But hey, at least it left me with a strong desire to re-watch the original.

The script is a mess, and the characters are not only unrealistic stereotypes, but also innately unlikeable. That being said, it has a style and confidence not typically seen in horror films, and the last 30 minutes raise this film into something more dark and twisted.Not bad at all.B

Good acting from the leads, but ultimately the script is a bit ridiculous. If I had a nickel for every eye roll the film provoked I'd be rich as fuck.C

Do we have to do noms for every category, or just those that we choose? Unfortunately I still have a lot of films for 2013 to see but I can just roll with what I have seen thus far.

Marriage= shit happens. (mod edit)IMO.

This is one those rare films that starts awful, stays awful, and ends awful.It's really terrible, and yet is a somewhat fascinating watch. A laughable film, one that ranks as not only one of the worst blockbusters of the last decade but also as one of the biggest WTFs.D

Dear god, what a waste of time this film is.Film is simply boring as fuck and completely unfunny to boot. The generic storyline is no excuse for the film to be so bland and uninvolving.The kind of film I wouldn't really recommend to anyone.D+

There's no doubt that it feels somewhat forced, and there are a lot of misses rather than hits (particularly in the 2nd half of the film). That being said, it's still hilarious in parts and the last 20 minutes are gold.I wouldn't even really say it's among the best comedies of the year, but if you liked the first, you'll get some value out of this.B/B-

There's nothing really wrong with this. Hell, I like my fair share of B-movies like anyone, but this still just isn't very good. There's simply not enough fun to be had in this, and it's way too long to be a time waster. C

This is one of those films that is going to live off its hype and the prestige of those involved. The reception of this film would have been very different if it had been a quiet project with a no-name director going in.I really need to see The Wolf of Wall Street, Her, and Inside Llewyn Davis to get this "BP" candidate vibe out of my mouth.

Am I the only one who feels you could basically describe all of Streep's performances just like this?

Yet another laughable entry in the horror realm. Unless you find the sight of moths or food spilled on the floor terrifying, stay away from this one.Of course, not only is this an objective failure as a horror film, you also have the lazy divorce sub-plot to roll your eyes over as well.D+

It's simply the best flavor of cheese out there.Doesn't really do anything great, but oozes personality and charm. I know Thompson will get a lot of praise (it's deserved) but credit needs to go out to the entire cast. I thought this was the definition of an ensemble performance.Sit back, get manipulated as fuck, and enjoy the show.B

3 days later, and I don't really remember a damn thing about this film except Bale is the best actor working today. What a shame.

Agreed on Gopher's Lawrence comment. Inevitably you will get the "she steals the show" from legions of blinded fans but in reality she is clearly the weak link here. I thought her scenes came across as awkward and forced.

Noctis is a poor man's Mattmav45.Sometimes less is more.IMO.

The problem with Prometheus is the promise exceeded the pay-off. It would have worked as a large scale popcorn sci-fi.IMO.

I saw Prometheus on shrooms the first time. On re-watch I realized outside some gorgeous imagery the film is as hollow as the combined hearts of Miley Cyrus and Lindsay Lohan.IMO.

FWIW, American Hustle makes SLP look like a philosophical dissertation on the origin of the universe.I thought SLP had the right amount of depth mixed with humor.
