The year is
over and with it goes by a great year with many good movies. I watched around 15 of them and made a
ranking of the best 10. See yourself if you have the same opinion or find
something interesting to watch next year on blue-ray.

10: The Fifth Estate
This is the
year of Benedict Cumberbatch. The third movie of one of my most beloved actors
that took a place in my ranking even though it was by a small margin winning
against Oz: the Great and Powerful and Now You Can See Me. It’s a bit of a
documentary with a interesting story about real life happenings regarding
mastermind Julian Assange. Terrific how well he is portrayed by Cumberbatch.
9: Man of Steel
After
Marvels huge success with Avengers DC tries to get more movies out there to
form its Justice Leagues Universes. Superman is the first and does a decent job.
At least for me the characters misses a interesting origin or weakness, but at
least the director Zack Snyder did a superb performance on the visuals which
were astonishing. Nowhere you will see more buildings crushing into each oterh.
Another
comedy flick that did great this year. Somehow the jokes this year were all
good after a decade of too serious movies. The story is over the top and has
many beloved actors in it as Simon Pegg and Martin Freeman. Everyone who likes
british comedy should take a look at another end of a trilogy.
I liked the
fourth Die Hard movie and even that one didn’t come short. The story was nice
but the best were the jokes. The story is ridiculous as always but at least
Bruce Willis show off in his most famous role.
6: Lone Ranger
Lone Ranger
is another movie done by the trio Johnny Depp, Gore Verbinsky and Jerry
Bruckheimer. To no one surprise the movie was a hug hit… okay it bombed at the
box office to my surprise. My guess for that can be found inside the review.
For me it was quite unexpected to be so good, maybe even one of the better
films with Johnny and one of the best westerners out there appreciate for
children.
Two years
ago the first installment was shown and was quite miserable. This time the director
changed and with him came a new approach that fully fulfills the desire of the audience.
If it just wouldn’t have been so stretched the story would have ranked higher.
Marvel goes
strong this year again. The best out of their popcorn cinema movies is Thor and
that is not because of the main character. We rarely see a villain that is more
beloved by the audiences than the hero itself. Tom Hiddleton aka Loki did a
splendid job in this dark movie.
3: Hangover 3
Hangover
was a huge success at its time and now finds it conclusion. The third one is
the best out of the three with more intelligent jokes and a even more crazier
story than ever. We get to see more of Alan and Chow, the best comedy pairing
in the last years. A worthy ending and one of the few movies I laughed about.
The Star
Trek reboot was great but did a lousy job for several reasons. Nearly none of
them are left in the tight packed sequel. Benedict Cumberbatch does a great
job as Khan. The effects are refreshing even the light flares.
What should
I say? I’m a huge J.R.R. Tolkien fan and even though The Hobbit movies don’t
overwhelmed the huge expectations after the Lord of the Rings trilogy they are
the best fantasy movies out there. There is none movie that comes anything
close to these epic landscapes and huge battles. Benedict Cumberbatch as Smaug
was especially great. Peter Jackson did better with the second one and gives me
high hopes for the last part.
