NATIONAL BOARD OF REVIEW ANNOUNCES 2015 AWARD WINNERS - National Board of Review

 

[The_King_of_Everything]

WOOOOOOOO CREED

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

Stallone winning does good for his oscar/golden globe chances. At least in terms of getting a nod.

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

The Revenant must not have been submitted in time...

ETA: They did see it

Matt Damon winning for best actor though

 

[MartyMcFly]

It's a good look for the movie. May not mean anything but hopefully it does

 

[Swiggy]

They see what we saw, brehs

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

It's a good look for the movie. May not mean anything but hopefully it does

Yep.

 

[TheGodling]

Way too much praise for The Martian. Too much praise for a bunch of other movies as well but it is what it is.

 

[End Cruelty]

I really enjoyed Fury Road.

 

[Jermio]

 

[I AM WARHOL]

Thought the Martian was kinda boring

Think Mad Max was overrated


I thought Creed was amazing

 

[Ziggiy]

Mad Max was cool but it was NOT better Creed, Straight Outta Compton, or The Martian

 

[MartyMcFly]

Mad Max was cool but it was NOT better Creed, Straight Outta Compton, or The Martian

It's neck and neck with Creed with me..Creed may have surpassed it by a hair but I think it's stronger than straight outta compton and the martian and i love both of them. It's the one movie this year, that is a singular achievement across the board while also managing to have a lot to say about the world we live in

 

[detroitwalt]

I guess cause I'm not into those apocalyptic films but Fury Road did nothing for me. the amount of praise I see it getting boggles my mind. But then again, since I'm not a fan of those types of movies I'm sure I'm not giving it a fair shot but I won't be watching again either.

Are talking about Mad Max: Fury Road? What is it supposed to allegorize? I know that the action genre has been appalling, but it is a good action picture, and that is about it.
