Loved Wolf of Wall Street. Every minute of it. If it seems excessive, that's the point. These assclowns retreated to the same material creature comforts repeatedly and upped the ante everytime. It's bonkers to witness but completely in character. The quualude sequence was breath-taking in that I couldn't stop laughing. I've never seen DiCaprio do anything like that (nor did I thought he had it in him) and he was brilliant. It will definitely be in a top 10 list for him; not strong enough to crack the top five, methinks.
I'd comment in detail about MOS, but I've had this argument too many times. Love it or hate it, this wasn't the Richard Donner film. It doesn't have the marks of a compromised production like that film (or the sequel). It keeps a consistent tone, its thematically solid and for me was emotionally powerful in the quieter moments as well as the action scenes. It's not the definitive cinematic Superman film; it's just the most successful in execution. See, I said I didn't want to say anything, and look what happened. *shrugs*
Olympus Has Fallen was painful to watch. Bad CGI, by-the-numbers plot and gratuitously violent. I can't believe there's a sequel coming soon.
