Happy Thursday everyone! Somehow we all miraculously made it through the first week back at work. Let’s keep it up! To make your day worth it (jke), here is my top ten for 2015.
Note: I somehow lost my original post, so this may or may not turn out great.
10: Jurassic World
Original rating: 7.5/10
Does it still hold? It might eventually fall to a 7
What I Liked: Jurassic World managed to revive the franchise and is blockbuster entertainment at its’ finest. I adored Chris Pratt in here, and he is quickly becoming a favorite of mine.
What I didn’t like: The more time passes the more the film seems incredibly sexist.
Original rating: 7.5/10
Does it still hold? I actually think it deserves an 8
What I Liked: This was a really unexpectedly great film. The film is classy and very sassy and a tounge-in-the-cheek look at spy films. Colin Firth is especially in fine form. He can certainly consider more such roles!
What I didn’t like: That last scene where Buggsy goes and does the dirty with the Queen or something felt misplaced in the film.
Original Rating: 8/10
Does it still hold? It really deserves an 8.5/10
What I liked: The showcasing of South-African talent and the nailbiting events. I really can’t wait to give this disturbing and heart-wrenching story another watch.
Original rating: 8/10
Does it still hold? I think I would rate this a 7/10 if I watched it again.
What I liked: Marvel has the ability to go really big and really grand. They are a powerhouse right now and it is obvious in anything they release in the market right now. I know everyone isn’t such a big fan of this film, because it has a number of valid issues, but I really did have a good time when I saw it in cinema.
What I didn’t like: It is excessively long. And the brave South-African cops are all lies.
Original rating: 8.5/10
Does it still hold? Yeah
What I Liked: The classy feel of the film, the hilarity, the Russian accent, the Cavil. I’m also becoming such a huge fan of Alicia Vikander that I will watch anything with her in right now.
Original Rating: 8.5/10
Does it still hold: 9/10
What I liked: YASSS everything.
What I didn’t like? There is nothing. Nothing.
4. Inside Out
Original Rating: 8.5/10
Does it still hold? Definitely
What I liked: This is such a surprising film and I really don’t like animations as a rule.
3. Ex Machina
Original Rating: 8.5/10
Does it still hold? Yep
What I liked: It is a well acted movie on A.I. and really worked out well. It is weird and Oscar Isaac shines. The ever delightful Domnhall Gleeson and Alicia Vikander are great in their respective roles.
Original rating: 9/10
Does it still hold? Yes
What I liked: Primarily that it is a great film that can be watched even if you don’t know everything about the franchise.
Original Rating: 10 / 10
Does it still hold? 9.5/10
What I liked: The Martian is truly everything I could ever want in a movie.
Well, there you go. Let me know your favorite films of 2015!
