This and and the wolf of wall street looks like black exploration films full of white people

11/22/2013 2:14:37 AM

katniss is all you need

11/22/2013 2:14:53 AM

^^not sure about the wolf movie, but this is based on a true story...looks more to me like a tamer con man Casino with lesser actors...but a great flick for 2013

Saw it tonight and thought it was pretty lame. Amy Adams was hot, Jennifer Garner not so much. Loved The Wolf of Wall Street, thought this wasn't that compelling. I see the reviews are incredible, but all 5 of us who saw it tonight weren't that into it.

Lol I said Garner. I think you can connect the dots there.

12/28/2013 2:16:19 PM

It has a great cast and all of their acting is great.

The movie just isn't terribly interesting.

12/28/2013 7:31:22 PM

^ This.

Amy Adams' tits were incredible.

12/28/2013 7:38:17 PM

agree with Stein.

So far, this is the movie that has Oscar written all over it - the Academy usually favors the serious dramas like this, but as far as entertainment value it really drug on a lot.

12/29/2013 12:39:01 PM

Amy adams is the only oscar-worthy thing here

12/29/2013 2:38:34 PM

It reminded me a lot of Argo...good acting, cheesy-ish story line, a movie I liked, a movie I would never watch again.

Bale and Adams were both very good, IMO. Renner was so so. Lawrence was so so. Louis CK was pretty bad.

It's worth a watch, and it sounds as if I liked it more than most of this thread, but I still maintain it was decent.

12/29/2013 4:43:05 PM

FYI: this movie is already online

Agree with others that the acting was mostly top notch but the story dragged a bit.

What took so long?

12/29/2013 7:51:00 PM

I thought Jennifer Lawrence did a good job, I think people are confusing her annoying character for poor acting.

Louis CK was terrible though.

And Amy Adams's tits were incredible.

I agree but I can't think of many films this year that have a viable shot at best picture.

They should have named this movie "Amy Adams' Sideboob" because that is all I saw.

12/30/2013 12:03:05 PM

charismatic actors, catchy soundtrack, active camerawork, and not much else

movie's plastic fruit

12/30/2013 12:09:43 PM

Yeah...not getting where all the award hype from this movie is coming from. My step-dad fell asleep midway through...surprised my wife didn't.

I liked it...but it wasn't anything special.

12/30/2013 12:16:22 PM

AMY ADAMS IS EVERYTHING TO ME

12/30/2013 12:21:59 PM

As usual, Film Threat nails it:

lol:

"...he partners romantically and professionally with a sexy huckster named Sydney Prosser. She’s played by Amy Adams’ breasts. That’s only a slight exaggeration. Her necklines don’t plunge, they do a double gainer with reverse somersaults and a twist."

"We’re supposed to believe that A. Rosenfeld runs a thriving scam consisting entirely of charging desperate idiots $5,000 for a loan of, say, $50,000 and then never giving anybody any money. For this weasel, it’s not a finder’s fee; it’s a finder’s keepers fee. And we’re to believe that, for reasons Russell and screenwriting partner Eric Singer never explain, customers never complain."

Bingo...It was hard to take any of the other stuff with any grain of seriousness after they used this to set it all up.

The whole was less than the sum of the parts. Lawrence was fine, but probably too young to fit the role. Hard to buy a 23-year old being that weary.

I think it was too plotty -- we didn't really get a chance for the characters or their situations to sink in.

12 years a slave will clearly win best picture.

12/30/2013 10:02:51 PM

It was stylish with some good performances...and very generally entertaining for those reasons. But I definitely agree with this:

Great nips, good performances, okay story, way too long.

12/31/2013 1:12:23 PM

Jennifer Lawrence is all that is special to me

Great drama, but like others have said it was nothing I'd want to rewatch.

1/2/2014 4:27:52 PM

This was a character driven movie and I sort of liked it. the love triangle...rectangle? ...was taken its toll on me.

I never considered Amy Adams or Jennifer Lawrence sexy. They're real pretty and we try so hard to push them to be sexy. dudes always flip out with they see a piece of boob. it's what dudes do. it means nothing really.

I love a good con story and I always like when a con flips it in the end. I didnt like the end to this. I cant put my finger on why though. It just wasn't convincing or clever. forgettable.

I wasn't convinced that Amy Adams and Michael Bale were such good con artist that the FBI wanted them and no one they conned(sp?) complained. They felt like two bit con artists. the Sheik thing was jumping the shark for me. but I enjoyed the set up. I like how they got deeper and deeper in shit.

Michael Bale, who I like, is going to die of a heart attack doing one these quick weight loss/gains and no one will know it at first because he's method actor. lol.

I actually liked Bradley Cooper's character. he was naive till the very end. Amy Adams' character I would have thrown her off a bridge. so under-minding. I didnt mind Jennifer Lawrence's character and I was waiting on the catfight.

I got a kiss instead. ...Bullshit.

6 out of 10

Yep, this movie looked/felt like it should have been really good but it just wasn't.

1/6/2014 10:58:27 PM

The sheik thing was the most real part of the movie

i enjoyed the movie...wasn't an instant classic or anything, had some slow parts...but was pretty good...the lawyer office thing was pretty baller...and the best character in the movie was obviously Victor Tellegio...but it was a decent flick

1/7/2014 1:27:01 AM

who the hell is Michael Bale?

1/7/2014 8:04:52 AM

Michael Bale FTW

I really don't understand how this movie has 93% on RT. Amy Adams was the only redeeming aspect. really bad movie that felt like it was 4 hours long somehow.

2/4/2014 10:32:27 AM

went with my mother and sister during xmas break. we all enjoyed it. it wasn't something i'd probably watch a second time (most things aren't), but the hate in here feels a little overblown.

2/4/2014 12:30:11 PM

overblown hate on the internet?

i'll still watch it one day.

2/4/2014 1:00:27 PM

in a small community of regular users, im pretty sure we can expect a little regulation. or should i just be super racist and chalk it up to being on the internet too?

i guess at that point though we could chock the hate up to snobbery of some sort.

2/4/2014 1:17:42 PM

You want us to regulate people's opinions ITT, and are threatening to be a douche if you don't receive it?

2/4/2014 3:00:17 PM

that was more of a rhetorical question than a threat. the point was, we can't post on an internet forum and then chalk up everything to "it is the internet" (lest we're in chit chat).

[Edited on February 4, 2014 at 4:23 PM. Reason : i think you'd be hard pressed to find me "being a douche" for fun in entertainment.]

2/4/2014 4:22:34 PM

Censorship? On my TWW? Get the hell outta here

2/6/2014 11:09:53 PM

Thought it was ok. I thought Christian Bale's acting was outstanding.
