Ginko Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) Guardians of the Galaxy - utter shite. This thread is meant to be the best films of 2014. Discussions of good or bad should go in the main film thread. Guardians of the Galaxy by a country mile. Close for best film ever. I mean, I know what you're saying, but it just came across as a bit hypocritical is all Edited November 18, 2014 by Ginko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I know some people don't want a discussion but I'm throwing this in here - The blockbusters this year have been better than the 2015 "award season" films GOTG, edge of tomorrow, Lego, apes, xmen, captain America would probably be amongst my favourite films this year Really doesn't seem to be much hype building up for late this year in the states / early next year here, maybe unbroken and Selma, but that's about it for me, compared to last year where you had WoWS, 12 years a slave, Dallas buyers club, American hustle etc Hope imitation game gets some nods that's probably the best "award season" film I've seen this year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 The only reason Lego movie didn't join "her" as films I've walked out of is because I had the kids with me and Mrs H would have given me grief for 28 minutes if I had come home without them Apes is another meh one , weak and predictable story line and more plot holes than any film should be allowed to get away with... Cgi was ok though Anyhow that's just my opinions , I appreciate both films are scoring well in the 2014 Poll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Wolf of Wall St. Dallas Buyers Club Both excellent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I know what you're saying, but it just came across as a bit hypocritical is all Not sure I understand. *discussions* of good or bad shouldn't really be here for obvious reasons. But the thread is called best films of 2014 so it's perfectly acceptable to say why it's a good film. Saying why something isn't a good film just starts arguments, which is what the other thread is for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Wolf of Wall St Gone Girl Lego Movie 22 Jump St As you can see from the above list I have not seen many movies this year - still need to see GOTG, Nightcrawler, Boyhood and Dallas Buyers Club.

Stevo985 Posted November 19, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted November 19, 2014 Same as a lot of others really Wolf of Wall Street Dallas Buyers Club Gone Girl Boyhood The Babadook Honourable mench for The Lego Movie Some I'm not so keen on that have been mentioned would be The Grand Budapest Hotel. Didn't think much of that, pretty average. But I don't seem to be a fan of Anderson so it probably didn't suit me. Token GOTG mention. It was great fun, but nowhere near movie of the year.

dAVe80 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I've only seen 4 films at the cinema this year: Wolf of Wall Street The Grand Budapest Hotel Frank Northern Soul I enjoyed all of them, but I'd probably just give the edge to The Grand Budapest Hotel, over Frank.

Stevo985 Posted November 19, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted November 19, 2014 If I had to choose one out of my list it would be Dallas Buyers Club. That was fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I thought the Marvel stuff was mostly very good this year. X-Men: DoFP, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy all impressed. Otherwise, Dallas Buyers Club was brilliant and good to see The Grand Budapest Hotel get a few mentions, it's fantastic and maybe my choice for movie of 2014. Not seen Gone Girl or Interstellar yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to say, I thought 22JS was OK, but weaker than the first. Godzilla. I also enjoyed this. Better on the second viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Although it didn't go down well with the critics I happened to enjoy the Counselor , thought Brad Pitt stole the show , without even trying to . Wolf of Wall street was achingly funny ,but then you realise it's a true story , and tbh , it pays only lip - service to the victims , who must of been , sadly , ruined for the rest of their live. I have to say though , that imo Jonah Hills' performance was oscar worthy. Apparently he was so eager to work with Scorsese , that he took just forty thousand dollars for the part , bless him . Does anyone recommend 12 yrs a slave , it's on my on demand for 2 . 99 ? How come I don't have a pound sign on my pad keyboard ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying why something isn't a good film just starts arguments, which is what the other thread is for. You're not wrong, but I just thought that your use of hyperbole through phrases like 'by a country mile' and 'close for best film ever' could incite an argument just as much as saying it was 'utter shite', that's all. It just seemed a bit like you took it a bit personally, but perhaps I interpreted that incorrectly. Mine wasn't a particularly serious post anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted November 19, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted November 19, 2014 To be fair, saying its close to the best film ever is about as wrong as Donnie saying it's utter shite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
