American Hustle vs The Wolf on Wall Street

[embersyc]

Eh, I liked Leto in DBC, but I wasn't at all blown away by his performance. He didn't really create a character with depth, something Renner did with significantly less screen time Renner's performance was just heartbreaking.

Fassbender should have won Best Supporting Actor over Leto too.

I didn't see 12 Years a Slave so can't comment there.

Renner is definitely up there, not trying to discredit it. Great performance.

I suggest you do as soon as possible then

I still really liked Leto. I just think what Renner did, in such little screen time, was magnificent, especially when he was being pegged as the fifth wheel.

Wolf was probably an hour too long and the debauchery wasn't needed to paint a vivid picture of the lifestyle. With that said, it's still a very good movie. American Hustle was funnier though. Bale's acting was top notch again.

I prefer Wolf, it's more dynamic with more memorable moments.

I gave both movies a 10 on IMDB which is rare for me to do, but I would have to say that Wolf of Wall Street was more enjoyable to me personally, and probably has greater replay value, although I've only seen each movie once.

It just seems like once you know the ending of American Hustle it will be less enjoyable, whereas I'm kind of itching to see Wolf of Wall Street again.

There is little doubt that American Hustle has better performances, but I like Wolf of Wall Street's story a little better, and it has more laughs.

This review has my thoughts exactly. Agree with every single part of this. This year was truly a golden year of movies. Probably 2 or 3 of them will end up in my top 50 GOAT actually.

The latter.

I was disappointed with American Hustle. Really really like the Wolf though.

[B-Easy8]

I thought Wolf was nothing compared to the book. Incredibly overrated in my opinion.

I really liked American Hustle.

Wolf of wall street by a mile, this my fav scene right here

[1987_Lakers]

Just seen Wolf, it was much crazier than I expected. That Jonah Hill scene at the party was ****ing hilarious. I have to give the edge to Wolf.

[ArbitraryWater]

I'll be honest, havent seen American Hustle yet.. but from comments about both, and having watched Wolf of wall street, its wolf of wall street in a blowout.

[Lakers Legend#32]

American Hustle is a much better movie. Amy Adams alone is reason to see it.

Just seen Wolf, it was much crazier than I expected. That Jonah Hill scene at the party was ****ing hilarious. I have to give the edge to Wolf.

If I wanted to see Jonah Hill *********e at a pool party, I would have gone to one of Jonah Hill's pool parties.

Seriously? american hustle was a piece of shit.

[Myth]

I easily preferred Wolf of Wall Street to American Hustle. I expected to love both. I liked American Hustle, but I didn't love it.
