Andrew Garfield is annoying as fuck in the first half. Dude is basically a caricature of the time period.

That's the impression I got when I first saw the trailer so I left it out my top 15 in the Winter Game.

 

Then boom, it's a critically acclaimed break out hit that gets nominated for an oscar.

 

The trailer makes it look like razzie material.

[Lordmandeep]

Personally I found hacksaw ridge and hidden figures best.

 

Moonlight is good but best picture ..lol

Not necessarily, but that shit wasn't just a little corny - which is fine- that shit was middle of Iowa during harvest season. There's a limit.

 

I never gave my take on Hidden Figures. It has a great cast and alot of energy and it is an important propulsive movie about an important subject. But as a SJW liberal whatever, there is one scene that rings incredibly false to me. Why the hell did they give their big inspirational moment of the entire movie to Kevin Costner's old white guy? he gets to give the huge inspirational monologue about us all being equal, and boom! racism is solved. Just super duper tone deaf. Made it into one of those movies that were supposed to make white people feel okay about our ability to not be racist, instead of actually being about lasting systemic racism.

 

Because all he cared about was getting the job done, and done as quickly as possible. It wasn't solving racism or sexism. Again, IMO.

That's probably why it made your top 15 (I think) and helped you almost win.

 

I'm hoping I had a better read on trailers this year.
