Best and Worst of 2017

Alright bring it in, 2k17 let's have it. We're listing our highest and lowest rated movies of the year. Thought it was worth going back and seeing what we thought of a film on the first viewing experience and seeing if it's changed. Now just to be clear we only just started our blog this year! So we're not awful people for not including La La Land but we're just going through what we've already reviewed. 
So let's smash through them, our best and worst of 2017, ending with a couple of honourable mentions!

BEST 

Get Out (2017)
Widely appreciated by critics and audiences, bold social commentary and exceptional directorial debut by Jordan Peele. 
8/10

Beauty and the Beast (2017)
Surprisingly great adaptation, gorgeous set pieces and costumes, happy film.
Luke Evans is a dish
8 or 9/10 

Logan
Great acting, great story, great send of to an iconic character. 
Hugh is a dish. 
8/10

Baby Driver 
Edger Wright proves his style, Ansel Elgort excells and the soundtrack is one of the best of the year.
John Hamm is daddy af.
9/10

It (2017)
Incredible cast, incredible adaptation, actually scary.
8.5/10

WORST

The Mummy (2017)
A chaotic, and untidy film. A poor story, is met with a weak cast, a disappointing first installment to the Dark Universe series. 
4/10

Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) 
An unorganised, plot hole-filled addition to the Star Wars Universe. They could have at least let Carrie Fisher go peacefully...
But, Adam Driver is a dish.
4/10



Emoji Movie 
Poo emoji, poo emoji, Sir Patrick Stewart.
2/10

Snatched 
Amy Schumer shouldn't be given more than 15 minute slots, massive plot holes, bad characters.
3/10

Transformers: The Last Knight 
Absolutely exhausting. Confusing, and boring. However, if I can make it through this film, I can make it through anything. 
3/10

HONOURABLE MENTIONS

2017 really was a great year for film, but some of them didn't seem to quite make the cut for our best of the year. There are a couple, that we personally feel deserve a special mention. They are brilliant in their own way, and incredibly memorable for us.  

First up, The Disaster Artist (2017) deserves its own place. I have not stopped thinking about this film since first seeing it. The Room has its own place in my heart. But The Disaster Artist just reminded me of how great this film really is, for a handful of reasons. The Franco brothers did Tommy Wiseau and his film a huge justice, and I recommend watching this if you have not already. This film also 100%, has one of THE most memorable scenes of the year for me. Brilliant tribute, brilliant film.
OH, AND JAMES AND DAVE FRANCO ARE DIIIIIIIIIISHY.
7/10.


So Call Me By Your Name (2017) I'm so pleased there has been so much positive feedback from so many different people. I think they handled love with such sincerity it was relatable and sexy and heartbreaking all at once. The cast were great and the shots were picturesque. Having not read the book I can only assume it's a wonderful adaptation, a gorgeous film, with a beautiful story. Timothée Chamlet is a stone cold cutie and Armie Hammer is a 6'5 dish.
7/10

And there we have it, it's a been a great year for film all round really, managed to watch 75 films in the cinema this year, so let's see what we can do with a full year! Bring on 2018 and let us know your favs of 2017!
