Irrational

Life of Pi
From the director of Brokeback Mountain, man gets bummed by tiger for over two hours.
Probably.
If my time had any value whatsoever, I'd have been annoyed to have wasted it on this.

Reaganed

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Part 2
Second half of the animated adaptation to Frank Millers B:TDKR.
Frame for frame in most places - which is fine, it's a good story but it was written in 1986 and is showing it's age.
Also Peter Weller just doesn't sound right.

Q*berted

Wreck-It Ralph  
Average cartoon kids film which gets an extra star for featuring some 80s video game characters.

Sucked

Hotel Transylvania
Least of the animated horror/comedy films that came out last year, far behind Paranorman and Frankenweenie.
Admittedly I may be 40 years older than the target audience but it just wasn't funny.

Dwarfed

Seven Psychopaths
A good fun time had by all.
Like your mum.
Well written, even Colin Farrell wasn't that irritating.

Hanked

Cloud Atlas
Six slightly connected stories told over 2 hours 45 minutes.
Does that seem a bit long to you? 
It is.
You'd hope it'd all come together into a satisfying bukkake style ending.
It doesn't.

Soy Sauce

John Dies At The End
Good low-ish budget horror/comedy that manages to be both.

Naut

Argo
Still not sure that 'exfiltration' is a word.
Good.
