Yeah, I'm a firm believer of seeing things by yourself, but lately I've had a few people to go with. And as one of them would like to go, makes sense to go together.

Wolf of Wall Street.
Very few redeeming qualities, absolute garbage, boring, painfully unfunny, imagine Blow mixed with 21 Jump Street but only taking the bad bits from each.
2 or 3 out of 10
(depending on if it improves into its third hour because i decided my life is too short to watch all of it)

Lol, that's a perfect description of the 'there's no heart to this' feeling the trailer gave me. _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

There should be something legal someone could do to stop the writers ever ruining another film, I felt my IQ level ticking away, and this is the sort of rubbish that gets an Oscar nom these days. *shakes head*
Well I struggled through the final hour, apparently it was directed by Martin Scorsese .
Any other name attached to it and I guarantee it would have bombed with the critics.

I was beginning to wonder if there were any films you liked. This one is also on my watch list. _________________Still the official cheeky one

I enjoyed that film and rated it 7/10. Thought it was quite original. _________________Still the official cheeky one

It is, but the whole time McGuffin just didn't work for me. _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Just seen Gravity. Rubbish! Mrs V agrees. Actually, rubbish is complimentary, compared to her verdict.

Seriously? Rubbish? I'd call it far from rubbish. There were some aspects of it that didn't quite gel for me, but it's a long way off rubbish in my opinion. Mark

Good ones are few and far between, it's not my fault. If you want to know what films I like, it's a public list on IMDB, every film I've ever watched ranked by my rating (I think you can rank it by my rating anyhoo): http://www.imdb.com/user/ur7693773/rati ... 5026738197

You missed out. I'm not sure what JV's objections actually are, because he didn't bother to tell us, but I thought it was an excellent film.

Looks like you can't rank them by my rating, but here's the list in unususable scramble mode anyway, http://www.imdb.com/user/ur7693773/ratings?tab=all
