I just saw American Hustle. It is the most overrated movie I have ever scene. No one I went with liked it. It is hard to follow and seems too staged. It's like a poor man's Goodfellas or The Grifters. Those were good movies. American Hustle is mediocre at best. Definitely style over substance. Amy Adams did not deserve her oscar nomination. She looks beautiful the but the movie is a mess and her part is not a stretch. She is getting pulled through because critics like the director, who directed Silver Lining's Playbook. 10 oscar nominations? What a joke! The Academy continues to embarrass itself.
And let's be honest, anybody who played Sandra Bullock's part in Gravity could of gotten nominated. Her performance is not special. She gets nominated for not giving bad performances, not for giving great ones. She is not a good actress.
