WoWS was excellent if a little too long. First hour and half pure comedy (as long as you suspend your real life distaste of greedy bas£ard wall st folks)

American hustle also very good. 

12 Years easily the most overhyped film of the year.

Saw all 3 and thought 12 years wipes the floor with the other 2. The storylines of the other 2 are weak and they're more style over substance for me.

Really disappointed with WoWS! 6/10

Saw "Inside Llewyn Davis" last night. Coen Brothers sometimes produce great films - this wasn't one of them.

Just happened to watch Starsky and Hutch last night. Very funny film!

12 years is your typical can I please have an Oscar now film. None of the 3 broke new ground but at least the other 2 were entertaining.

Have yet to see 12 Years a Slave or Wolf of Wall Strert but would agree with you re. American Hustle. I am amazed at the number of awards and Oscar nominations it has picked up. Looks like a Scorsese cast-off. Definitely not bad and Bale is brilliant but 5 minutes after watching it I have forgotten about it already.

After reading some of the reviews on here I had low expectations of Slave. Loved it - thought it was quality. Wolf was entertaining too. Never felt bored. I did with Hustle. Didn't really care towards the end.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

Seen American Hustle there. It was slightly dissappointing. Acting was excellent but storyline wasn't great and the film itself was slow in parts, especially at the start.

Load of bollocks. Soundtrack was the only good thing about it. That and Bale's combover.

I thought Slave was very good too. Hard to watch it hards, but other films to do about slavery were rougher. Looking forward to Wolf.

Watched Lone Survivor at the weekend, actually thought it was a good enough watch. Tough watch at times but interesting as much as anything.

Trying to be goodfellas and failing

Thought Wolf was excellent, much better film than Hustle in almost every way.
It got a bit lost around the time of the storm at sea and from there on was a bit disjointed, but still a great film, and I didn't see the 3 hours as too long, which I had expected to.
12 Years a Slave was fantastic as well I thought. Best film I've seen in years.

Of the big 3 new ones:
1. 12 Years a Slave
2. Wolf of Wall Street
3. American Hustle
