2015 has seen the release of many majorly anticipated films, so after seeing 87 films this year here are the Top 10 and the bottom 10 films!
Bottom 10
10 By The Sea
The Angelina Jolie Pitt film was an utter embarrassment to cinema. It was boring, long and unnecessary - a major let down!
9.Sicario
Another highly anticipated film that was exceptionally boring. While the acting was ok the story and depth of the characters lacked.
8.We Are Your Friends
A disastrous film starring Zac Efron had nothing going for it and is one of the worst box-office flops of all time.
7.Last Cab To Darwin
Highly anticipated and critically acclaimed Aussie drama was too long and the story didn’t advance fast enough to make it entertaining!
6.Fantastic Four
No more needs to be said.
5. Mr Holmes
Sherlock Holmes film in nothing but name created a major let-down.
4.Aloha
Really, Bradley Cooper and Emma Stone. Really?
3.Billy Elliot the Musical LIVE
Having never seen the Billy Elliot Musical live I was quite looking forward to this broadcast. It was one of the longest and worst musicals I ever seen. Elton John’s music was terrible and the acting and dance routines were abominable, I really can’t see the appeal of this musical!!
2.A Royal Night Out
Embarrassing to watch.
1. Chappie
A major sci-fi flop.
Top 10
10.Freeheld
Ellen Page and Julianne Moore give Oscar worthy performances in this adaptation of the true story!
9. Me and Earl and The Dying Girl
The cast and script are beautiful in this mature, teen art flick.
8.Irrational Man
This Woody Allen film proves that he hasn’t lost his touch and the on-screen paring of Joaquin Phoenix and Emma Stone was unlikely, but superb!
7.Trainwreck
This film brought Amy Schumer to the forefront of pop-culture and it’s a superbly enjoyable, fun film!
6.Inside Out
This movie is the most “fun” on this list, but at times it is a touching, moving and sometimes heart-breaking film. The cast and animation are superb and the story is remarkable!
5.The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2
One of the most anticipated films of the year enjoyably concluded a mega-franchise.
4.Avengers: Age of Ultron
A very fun, enjoyable movie!
3.Clouds of Sils Maria
A beautiful French/American movie that offers brilliant performances from Kristen Stewart and Juliette Binoche.
2.Big Eyes
This emotional and powerful movie demonstrates the outstanding talent of its cast!
1.Birdman (Or the Unexpected Virtue of Ignore)
A sublime piece of artwork that deserved its best Oscar win!
