A year ends and another begins. 2017 has been a mixed year for film. On one hand, we have Logan and Wonder Woman and on the other, we have the Emoji Movie and Transformers 5. Please note that I did not see every movie that came out in 2017 so there may be some movies missing and that this is also my opinion.
5. The Greatest Showman
A film with wonderful music, acting, and choreography starring Hugh Jackman. What more could you ask for?
4. Logan
Hugh Jackman again delivers one of his best performances, in a role that needs drama, action, and humility. This story of an aging Wolverine in a world with few mutants delivers one of the best on-screen X-Men stories and if this is his send-off, it was a great one.
3. Wonder Woman
This film, while also being a great film about one of the worlds most famous female superheroes, finally gave the DC films what they needed, a bright spot of hope. Gal Gadot shines as Wonder Woman in a movie that she deserves.
2. The Disaster Artist
Is this a James Franco comedy? Yes. Is this a wonderful, well acted, scored, and written film about the trials of friendship and never giving up on your dreams even when faced with a gigantic mountain to overcome? Yes. The Disaster Artist was a film I had hyped up ever since the first trailer and I love every minute of it.
1. Atomic Blonde
This is one of the best films I have seen Charlize Theron in. The film has many of the traits of a modern noir and uses them greatly. From the twist and turns of the plot to the great performances of the actors, this film hits all the beats right. And do I even need to mention the stairway fight scene?
