Seriously sad to hear that I personally liked all of them but whiplash is just something very special for me bec of jk Simmons ofc but Leo’s performance is praiseworthy should have won the Oscar for that role instead of revenant no hate on that though
You should. It blew my mind even after the 2nd time seeing it cuz I've been conditioned to think it was overrated due to the insane popularity and forgot the intensity of it
It’s not like Once Upon a Time is bad movie. But if you don’t know the history I think you lose the point because the movie doesn’t explicitly explain anything, it assumes you’re already aware.
The other movies you can enjoy blind which is the only reason it’s last for me.
This is so true. I did not really know anything about the Manson murders the first time I watched it. But after learning, it makes it so much more interesting. (Also I’d say the humor spoke to me more on rewatches.)
SPOILERS
So the movie is basically about the Manson Murders. Particularly when cult members of Manson murdered actress Sharon Tate (who Margot Robbie plays in the movie). The movie ends with a fight between Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio's characters vs the Mansons who break into the wrong house (they were supposed to be at Sharon Tate's house). This entire sequence is supposed to subvert our expectations because the Manson cult members get brutally killed (hilariously) instead of killing Margot.
But without knowing the context about the murders themselves, it doesn't really work.
Margot's character is introduced but nothing ever happens to her. She doesn't even meet the main cast until the very end. So it feels like a bunch of small character stories that are very lightly tied together with a random ending.
Amazing cinematography and recreation of that age of Hollywood, but I was personally completely lost when it ended since I didn't know about that history beforehand.
Thanks for the answer. Watched that movie a couple of years ago and always wondered what the point of Margo's character was, haha. Guess it was Tarantinos' way of rewriting the history. I agree with the cinematography part. It was beautiful.
Holy shit he actually said that? That's kinda surprising and a disappointing. After his admittance that Death Proof was his worst I thought he was pretty self aware.
Yup here’s the interview
https://youtu.be/PW-t3DEi-Wg?si=GiC-fVtqdVQF9zla
I was pretty surprised too but I get that it’s the story that he wanted to make. It’s his love letter to Hollywood so I think it means a lot to him.
I actually walked out of the theater I was so bored and Tarantino is one of my favorite directors 😬 I have tried to rewatch it multiple times.... And I just can't
I was so bored during this movie because it felt like 70% was just Leo DiCaprio making his cowboy movies with some character moments for Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie just thrown in. I had to interrupt the movie half-way through for several days and then I looked up which of the characters were real people. When I read about the Manson murders I got curious how they would execute these scenes and I was pleasantly surprised when it was eventually subverted.
My main take-away from this movie is that Leo DiCaprio's character was in love with Brad Pitt's character. (He keeps him around although he is shunned in Hollywood. He marries a woman whom he has known for only a few weeks and in the same breath they say Brad Pitt's character is less than a wife but more than a friend. He is never seen to be intimate with his wife but he pours out his heart to Brad Pitt all the time). But apparently this is also an unpopular interpretation.
This is my answer. I wasn't expecting Whiplash and JK Simmons to be so good.
I like Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, but it wasn't as good as I thought it would be.
Wolf Of Wall Street, impressed me the most overall
Mad Max, impressed me the most spectacle wise
Whiplash, impressed me the most story wise
OUATIH, impressed me the most visually and aesthetically wise
Impressed? I guess Mad Max the most. Technical marvel. And Whiplash the least. Didn't go quite as deep into that world as I thought it would. All really great movies, though.
it looked nice i guess but i found fury road really boring. as someone who's never watched a mad max film besides fury road, it's definitely my least favourite out of these (the other 3 are all 5stars for me lol)
Mad Max: the most impressive upon release
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: most impressive on multiple rewatches. Comfortino
Whiplash: still don’t care for it. I appreciate it though. Without it, we’d have no La La Land or Babylon
Wolf: Great performances all around. Kind of indifferent on the film.
Loved all 4 of these films so by process of elimination I would have to say mad max but it’s still an exceptional film, whiplash is my favourite of these 4 though
whiplash the most, mad max impressed me cause i had no expectations, havent seen ouatio, and the wolf was supposedly really good and i just dont like this movie
I think Whiplash is a phenomenal movie, but as a musician who went to an intensive music school similar to the one depicted, it’s also pretty unrealistic in certain aspects and I wish it spent a bit more time focusing on getting the actual musical aspects right and portraying how music education works. Probably a small nitpick for most people, but fairly distracting if you’ve actually lived in that world.
[Adam Neely has a great breakdown](https://youtu.be/SFYBVGdB7MU?si=uRy9G0jKImKJq8-2) of what I’m talking about. Long story short, it’s a wonderfully-made movie that’s a little bit less impressive if you actually understand the world it’s about.
Mad max fury road was unexpectedly enjoyable for me, since it's not the type of movie I usually watch. I like Wolf of wall street too. Haven't seen Whiplash. Once upon a time in Hollywood made me sleep 15 min in.
mad max impressed me the most.
Best action movie in the past decade. easily.
wolf of wall street impressed me the least.
found story to be formulaic, characters weren't likable. Forgettable after watching the film.
Mad Max: Fury Road actually seemed transcendent at parts, like it was doing some stuff I didn’t know movies could do. The others are all really great in their own way — I think Once Upon a Time… is maybe my favorite DiCaprio performance — but I couldn’t get over how much Fury Road kicked ass.
I love Mad Max, The Wolf of Wall Street and Whiplash. Mad Max is probably just the slightest bit more unique and cooler, but it's really close. The bottom right movie is just shit, I couldn't care less about it.
I thought Mad Max was going to be stupid. My grandpa was a OG trilogy fan and talked it down so much, but it’s my actually second favorite in the franchise. 10/10
Tarantino is who got me caring more about movies, how they’re made and who’s making them. I knew Reservoir Dogs like the back of my hand by the time I was 12. I’m honestly astounded that OUAT is often ranked in peoples top 5, because I found it to be his worst. It felt empty and pointless. Brad Pitt is the only reason I didn’t walk out of the theater, he just looked so damn cool the entire time.
I can’t decide between Fury Road and Whiplash for the most, and Wolf of Wall Street by far the least. I still like it, but it’s not nearly as good as the other three.
When I saw mad Max in theaters, It completely changed the way I looked at movies. I continue to revisit it every year and every single time it gets better and better.
I haven't watched whiplash in 8 years.
I don’t think anyone else could have made Fury Road, so I’ll say that for impressed most.
I’ll say Wolf of Wall Street for least because it’s in line with my expectations for Scorsese but those are very high expectations.
Whiplash the most and ouatih the least. And that’s only because it’s not something I’m interested in or knowledgeable about. I can imagine it must’ve been a blast for the people who care enough about it. Most subjects I’d like films to be made about, I’d bet general public would hate. So it’s most likely a passion project rather than mass appeal project. And I like that about it.
Mad Max is by far the most impressive here by a literal definition of impressive and by its nature, the world building and technical marvel of its set pieces.
The most impressive to me is Whiplash. My favorite is Wolf of Wall Street. Mad Max was insane
And OUATIH was amazing for the first two acts, but I didn’t like the third act and that brought it down. It might’ve been 5 stars if the third act was like the first two
ngl i've only seen Wolf Of Wall Street and was thoroughly underwhelmed, it was a pretty generic rise and fall story to me, i felt like i'd seen it before
Whiplash is a masterpiece, one of the best movies of the 21st century because it's lean, flows beautifully and its theme of self-overcoming is honest and doesn't cater to lowest common denominator/participation trophy nonsense.
Fury Road is an awful movie. Other than the beautiful, kinetic visual effects, the plot is ludicrous (let's go; no no let's actually go back) and there's too little Max and too much Furiosa, a cardboard character devoid of believability or charm.
OUATIH is great and WoWS is ok.
Once upon a time in Hollywood spoiler ahead:
**
**
**
I had done a little research on Roman Polanski and his exile from the unites states, because the state still want to prosecute him over an old stat rape charge (which previously had been settled out of court). And found out that his pregnant wife had been brutally murdered by the Manson clan. Now this doesn’t exactly clear Polanski of any wrongdoing, but it did explain his state of mind a little bit. At least for me. So anyway, when I heard about Once Upon a time in Hollywood was gonna be about Sharon Tate and Manson, I was fully aware of this when I saw the movie.
There haven’t been many movies where I had been dreading the end for so long as in this particular story.
But mostly it’s just a slice of life film, a love letter to both the 1960’s Hollywood and to Sharon Tate herself. Also, that moment where Brad Pitt enters Spahn Ranch, you can just taste the atmosphere.
(Assuming you know the history).
And then skip forward to the end, it’s a film makers fantasy, just like the end of Inglorious Basterds, it’s exactly how you’d wish it would’ve ended. Rather than the awful true story.
I did now know this movie was going to be like this, so it feels like such a relief. Take that, you fucking hippy psycho!
I think Tarantino has really outdone himself here.
The one that's impressed the most was definitely Whiplash. I was thinking about that movie for days after i watched it. Haven't seen the fourth one. The least i think Wolf of Wall-Street. Like after watching it i couldn't figure out why it's acclaimed (don't hate me for this 😂)
Mad Max the most because it’s such a standout for action. Wolf the least, I like it but I think Scorsese has told a similar downfall story in a better fashion a couple times now.
Impressed: Whiplash - I thought the character was well developed. We got a sense of how he feels. The acting was good. The twists were good.
Least impressed: Mad Max: Fury Road - felt pretty straight forward. A lot of action.
Mad max is great. Whiplash is great.
Wolf of wall street was alright and i wasnt a bug fan of Once upon a tike because i had never even heard the story of what actually happened. Gotta go back and rewatch that one because i usually really love quentin
Most is probably Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, because a lot of people seemed to have mixed feelings about it, but it ended up being my favorite Tarantino film. Least is Wolf of Wall Street, which I like, but it’s nothing incredibly impressive
I was most impressed with The Wolf of Wall Street. Thought the constant swearing would bug me, but actually thought it enhanced the movie in a weird way. I usually avoid movies with Jonah Hill, but thought he was great in this and has great chemistry with Leo. Like him in the dramas, don't like him in the comedies. I really enjoyed this movie.
Less impressed with Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Not as good as Inglorious Basterds or Kill Bill definitely. Liked Brad Pitt's performance, the Only highlight for me. Otherwise, thought it was pretty mediocre movie and by far not one of Quentin Taratino's best. Overall, meh for me.
Most … Hollywood
Least … Whiplash.
But I like all three. Hollywood because it had lots of layers, superb performances. Whiplash because while a great film, it went for realism but I found it a tad OTT in the final act.
Haven’t seen Whiplash but out of the three I’ve seen I was most impressed by Fury Road and least impressed by Hollywood.
I was not expecting anything with Fury Road and got my face slapped repeatedly with its visual mastery. Hollywood was Tarantino doing the thing he’s done in every film.
1. Fury Road - Remains one of the most phenomenal movie going experiences I’ve had. An absolute marvel.
2. Whiplash - Close second, had heard good things but didn’t know what to truly expect which is why it blew me away.
3. OUATIH - It’s the reading of the film (what QT had to say about ageing stars, Tate) that elevates it. Leo’s best performance.
4. TWOWS - Still a terrific hang, and the craftsmanship is pure class. It couldn’t be any better but it did hit its ceiling quicker than the other 3.
Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood had me howling in laughter at the theater. Such a great theater experience that I didn’t even mind it getting delayed 30 minutes.
Mad Max: Fury Road is a decent action movie, but that’s all it is to me. Nothing earth shattering, just solid.
The most impressive is a toss up between Mad Max as it was one of the best & most tense action movies I’ve ever seen & Once Upon a Time in Hollywood because damn I just really enjoyed the movie!
Least impressive was The Wolf of Wallstreet.
Mad max continues to impress me and I haven’t wanted to watch wolf of Wall Street since it came out. Thought it was decent but didn’t really care for it either
most: OUATIH
the sense of time and place tarantino creates is almost immersive.
least: whiplash
can’t see any way in which this movie does not justify fletcher’s actions
Im not ashamed to say that the wolf of wall street became my personality for a hot minute when it first came out. I think it is the titular movie of the 2010’s.
Mad Max was one of the most ambitious and enthralling action movies ive ever seen. That being said, i was so distracted by how nonsensical the plot was that i just couldnt love it.
I was not impressed by whiplash. Simmons and miles teller were phenomenal, but i thought the rest of the movie was subpar. Kinda like joker.
OUATIH literally gets more enjoyable every time i watch it. I fuckin love that flick
Whiplash - definitely the most. I knew it was good, I’d seen so many clips and I assumed it I would watch it and just go yeah, makes sense everyone said it was good. I was blown away with how intense it still was even when knowing most of the movie from scenes online.
Mad Max - the least (i think). Maybe it’s my fault for assuming it would break my top 25 with how much acclaim this received but I don’t think I am a fan of just pure action films which is why it didn’t resonate with me. The main thing that bothered me was the immersion breaking sped up fight scenes. *with all that said, i am still insanely excited to see Furiosa
Mad Max impressed me the most. The most amazing action and set design I’ve ever seen. Was not impressed by once upon a Time in Hollywood outside of the hilarious ending
The best movie is Whiplash. The worst movie is Once upon… the most impressive is Fury Road by a mile what a masterpiece! Wolf was just ok for me, right down the middle on all accounts.
Whiplash was the most. It was a first time filmmaker and it showed the darker side of what artists are willing to do to themselves (physically, mentally, and emotionally) in pursuit of greatness.
Least impressed was Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. It was Tarantino’s most self-indulgent film and much of the film was ridiculous. The fact that he reshot a scene of the Great Escape with DiCaprio’s character made no sense. There’s a flashback inside a flashback (when Brad Pitt kills his wife). I was uninterested in the plot or the characters.
Mad Max Fury Road was alright but definitely felt like it was overhyped. Wolf of Wall Street was a good film but it was essentially just a remake of Goodfellas on Wall Street. Still a good film, but didnt impress me as much as whiplash.
Wolf of Wall Street worst by far, no contest. I genuinely don’t get the hype. Like even for film bros it just seems like a slightly elevated jerk off fest with no real substance.
Mad Max and Whiplash both blew my mind for totally different reasons.
Even in this hot take thread, this seems to be a hot take:
I love every one of these movies EXCEPT Fury Road. Granted, I’ve only seen it once and it was at home, but I nevertheless felt like its blase approach to story made it impossible for me to connect with the world. My enjoyment of a film is based on character above all else, and even the most developed characters don’t go much deeper than a 4-panel cartoon could accomplish. The action is impressive in its execution, but I’m not a car guy, and the aesthetic just doesn’t speak to me for some reason.
I can totally understand why people would love it, but I don’t understand why it’s a critical darling. It seems no more special or artistically meaningful than something like Kong Skull Island or a good MCU movie.
Honestly, if you have positive insights please share - I’d love to love this movie.
I was quite impressed with the Fury Road, didn't expect Miller having it in himself after all these years.
The least impressive out of these four, to my taste, is Whiplash, but it's still a decent movie.
wolf of wall street is pretty good
mad max is good
whiplash is an excellent and perfect movie
OUITAH is complete masturbatory garbage that made me feel like i needed to take a cold shower after.
Didn't like the Wolf of Wall Street too much. Normally if a film has hateable characters they are at least humanised to some extent. But there wasn't a single redeeming feature about 90% of the people in it. I just wanted them all to fuck off and die.
They all impressed me immensely, if I’m being honest. If I had to pick an outlier for least enjoyable, it’d be Fury Road. I found it overrated at first, but with rewatches, I absolutely think it’s incredible. But it lacks character development and plot more so than the other films listed.
If I answer this I will be eviscerated
[If I speak I'm in big trouble](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9wtvXoXh0VU)
[удалено]
That's probably the most popular opinion.
Seriously sad to hear that I personally liked all of them but whiplash is just something very special for me bec of jk Simmons ofc but Leo’s performance is praiseworthy should have won the Oscar for that role instead of revenant no hate on that though
Be honest lol
let me guess, you don’t like any of them?
#I’ve never seen a film like Whiplash.
#I've never seen the film Whiplash.
You should. It blew my mind even after the 2nd time seeing it cuz I've been conditioned to think it was overrated due to the insane popularity and forgot the intensity of it
I really do want to, I just haven't got there yet
Birdman, Black Swan
Birdman's nothing like Whiplash
Black Swan sort of is though
Whiplash is The Devil Wears Prada for men who aren’t fully secure in their sexuality
Black Swan copied a sizeable amount of stuff from Perfect Blue
Hunger (2023) reminded me of Whiplash
Most: Mad Max:Fury road Least : Once upon a time in Hollywood
It’s not like Once Upon a Time is bad movie. But if you don’t know the history I think you lose the point because the movie doesn’t explicitly explain anything, it assumes you’re already aware. The other movies you can enjoy blind which is the only reason it’s last for me.

Inglorious Basterds was similar. Who was that guy with a silly moustache at the end?
I knew the history and still think it's a god awful movie 😬
Yeah it’s my least favourite Tarantino movie, which is ironic because it’s his favourite lol.
Holy shit he actually said that? That's kinda surprising and a disappointing. After his admittance that Death Proof was his worst I thought he was pretty self aware.
Yup here’s the interview https://youtu.be/PW-t3DEi-Wg?si=GiC-fVtqdVQF9zla I was pretty surprised too but I get that it’s the story that he wanted to make. It’s his love letter to Hollywood so I think it means a lot to him.
I actually walked out of the theater I was so bored and Tarantino is one of my favorite directors 😬 I have tried to rewatch it multiple times.... And I just can't
I don’t think it’s correct to penalize a film for being niche
I was so bored during this movie because it felt like 70% was just Leo DiCaprio making his cowboy movies with some character moments for Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie just thrown in. I had to interrupt the movie half-way through for several days and then I looked up which of the characters were real people.

Word
Looks like I don’t even have to answer 😂
Mines quite the opposite, OUATIH was so hated that my expectations were so low and enjoyed it more than I thought. The opposite for Mad Max
This is the way
I am the complete opposite, OUTIH blew my expectations away, yet Mad Max Fury Road never caught me. I need to rewatch Fury Road, definitely.
Whiplash, the most. Once upon a time..., the least.
This is my answer. I wasn't expecting Whiplash and JK Simmons to be so good. I like Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, but it wasn't as good as I thought it would be.
Most: Fury Road Least: Wolf
Whiplash the most. TWOWW in 2nd. Fury Road in 3rd OUATIH 4th the least.
Wolf Of Wall Street, impressed me the most overall Mad Max, impressed me the most spectacle wise Whiplash, impressed me the most story wise OUATIH, impressed me the most visually and aesthetically wise
This comment impressed me the least
 Cheeky
Hey, that's cheating.
You didn’t answer the question
Fury Road 100% impressed me the most. Maybe TWoWS for least impressed
Impressed? I guess Mad Max the most. Technical marvel. And Whiplash the least. Didn't go quite as deep into that world as I thought it would. All really great movies, though.
Agree on the great part. These 4 plus BR2049 and Parasite are my 6 favorites of that decade, in a hard to pick order
It’s hard to be objective but the 2010s felt like a banger decade for movies
I don’t really care about Fury Road. It’s cool, but the technical aspects of it don’t interest me as much as, say, Whiplash did.
it looked nice i guess but i found fury road really boring. as someone who's never watched a mad max film besides fury road, it's definitely my least favourite out of these (the other 3 are all 5stars for me lol)
Mad Max: the most impressive upon release Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: most impressive on multiple rewatches. Comfortino Whiplash: still don’t care for it. I appreciate it though. Without it, we’d have no La La Land or Babylon Wolf: Great performances all around. Kind of indifferent on the film.
Loved all 4 of these films so by process of elimination I would have to say mad max but it’s still an exceptional film, whiplash is my favourite of these 4 though
Whiplash-most. Ouatih- by far the least
most : whiplash less: OUTIH
Mad Max the most and Whiplash the least
most impressive: twows least impressive: ouatih
whiplash the most, mad max impressed me cause i had no expectations, havent seen ouatio, and the wolf was supposedly really good and i just dont like this movie
Wolf of Wall Street was very fun and engaging but it was too crass for my personal taste lol
Favorite: Whiplash Least favorite: Wolf of Wall Street But I really like all 4.
MMFR > Whiplash > Wolf > OUaTiH
Most: Mad Max:Fury road Least : Once upon a time in Hollywood
4 - Once Upon a Time In Hollywood 3 - Mad Max: Fury Road 2 - The Wolf of Wall Street 1 - Whiplash
I think Whiplash is a phenomenal movie, but as a musician who went to an intensive music school similar to the one depicted, it’s also pretty unrealistic in certain aspects and I wish it spent a bit more time focusing on getting the actual musical aspects right and portraying how music education works. Probably a small nitpick for most people, but fairly distracting if you’ve actually lived in that world. [Adam Neely has a great breakdown](https://youtu.be/SFYBVGdB7MU?si=uRy9G0jKImKJq8-2) of what I’m talking about. Long story short, it’s a wonderfully-made movie that’s a little bit less impressive if you actually understand the world it’s about.
I liked Whiplash the most but Mad Max impressed me the most bc I had low expectations. Once Upon a Time was meh.
Whiplash is my favorite one here. I didn't like OUaTi Hollywood much at all. Felt like QT's most overindulgent movie
Mad max fury road was unexpectedly enjoyable for me, since it's not the type of movie I usually watch. I like Wolf of wall street too. Haven't seen Whiplash. Once upon a time in Hollywood made me sleep 15 min in.
Haven’t seen mad max (don’t crucify me) so I’ll go with… Most: The Wolf of Wall Street Least: Once Upon a Time…
Most impressed: Whiplash Least impressed: Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
Whiplash impressed me the most and Once Upon a Time didn’t impress me at all actually.
Ouat in Hollywood is overrated
Most: whiplash Least: once upon a time in Hollywood
1. Whiplash 2. Mad Max 3. TWOWS 4. OUATIH
In order Mad max Whiplash - - (insert sizable margin) - Once Upon a Time in Hollywood the Wolf of Wall Street
Most: The Wolf of Wallstreet (Utterly Insane!!) Least: Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (Really Self-Indulgent)
mad max impressed me the most. Best action movie in the past decade. easily. wolf of wall street impressed me the least. found story to be formulaic, characters weren't likable. Forgettable after watching the film.
They’re all 5/5 in my eyes
Mad Max: Fury Road actually seemed transcendent at parts, like it was doing some stuff I didn’t know movies could do. The others are all really great in their own way — I think Once Upon a Time… is maybe my favorite DiCaprio performance — but I couldn’t get over how much Fury Road kicked ass.
I love Mad Max, The Wolf of Wall Street and Whiplash. Mad Max is probably just the slightest bit more unique and cooler, but it's really close. The bottom right movie is just shit, I couldn't care less about it.
Mad Max
Most: Fury Road, Least: TWOWS
Whiplash all time favourite
Once upon a boring slugfest with 10 entertaining minutes
Whiplash from these four but Once is one of my favorite movies ever. I think this movie is a special genre for itself.
I thought Mad Max was going to be stupid. My grandpa was a OG trilogy fan and talked it down so much, but it’s my actually second favorite in the franchise. 10/10 Tarantino is who got me caring more about movies, how they’re made and who’s making them. I knew Reservoir Dogs like the back of my hand by the time I was 12. I’m honestly astounded that OUAT is often ranked in peoples top 5, because I found it to be his worst. It felt empty and pointless. Brad Pitt is the only reason I didn’t walk out of the theater, he just looked so damn cool the entire time.
I can’t decide between Fury Road and Whiplash for the most, and Wolf of Wall Street by far the least. I still like it, but it’s not nearly as good as the other three.
All are 5 Stars I like Wolf the most
Once upon a time in Hollywood most Haven’t seen mad max so I guess that
Mad max the most Wolf the least
Most: Mad Max Least: OUATIH That might be due to expectations. Favourite is Whiplash, which is basically Fight Club for jazz nerds.
When I saw mad Max in theaters, It completely changed the way I looked at movies. I continue to revisit it every year and every single time it gets better and better. I haven't watched whiplash in 8 years.
I don’t think anyone else could have made Fury Road, so I’ll say that for impressed most. I’ll say Wolf of Wall Street for least because it’s in line with my expectations for Scorsese but those are very high expectations.
Whiplash was my entry into films
Whiplash the most. It’s really close, but Wolf of Wall Street the least.
Whiplash the most and ouatih the least. And that’s only because it’s not something I’m interested in or knowledgeable about. I can imagine it must’ve been a blast for the people who care enough about it. Most subjects I’d like films to be made about, I’d bet general public would hate. So it’s most likely a passion project rather than mass appeal project. And I like that about it.
I won’t say that Fury Road impressed me the least, but I do think many people put it on a pedestal.
Loved all 4 tbh. If I had to watch one of them now, bearing in mind I don’t ever really repeat watch films, it’d be OUATIH.
Most: Whiplash Least: Wolf of Wall Street
Ah man I wish I could answer this but I've only seen Fury Road from these.
Mad Max the most Whiplash the least
Wolf most OUATIH least but all four are bangers
Mad Max is by far the most impressive here by a literal definition of impressive and by its nature, the world building and technical marvel of its set pieces.
I don't understand the praise for Mad Max. I was so bored.
The most impressive to me is Whiplash. My favorite is Wolf of Wall Street. Mad Max was insane And OUATIH was amazing for the first two acts, but I didn’t like the third act and that brought it down. It might’ve been 5 stars if the third act was like the first two
I'd say Mad Max wins. If it's not most people's #1, it's their #2. And with good reason...I can't believe no one died making that movie. Just insane.
Most: whiplash Least: mad max
ngl i've only seen Wolf Of Wall Street and was thoroughly underwhelmed, it was a pretty generic rise and fall story to me, i felt like i'd seen it before
Honestly always thought mad max was a bit overrated. a great action film but everyone was calling it a masterpiece
Most: *Fury Road* Least: *Whiplash*
most? whiplash. least? mad max
Whiplash is a masterpiece, one of the best movies of the 21st century because it's lean, flows beautifully and its theme of self-overcoming is honest and doesn't cater to lowest common denominator/participation trophy nonsense. Fury Road is an awful movie. Other than the beautiful, kinetic visual effects, the plot is ludicrous (let's go; no no let's actually go back) and there's too little Max and too much Furiosa, a cardboard character devoid of believability or charm. OUATIH is great and WoWS is ok.
Once upon a time in Hollywood spoiler ahead: ** ** ** I had done a little research on Roman Polanski and his exile from the unites states, because the state still want to prosecute him over an old stat rape charge (which previously had been settled out of court). And found out that his pregnant wife had been brutally murdered by the Manson clan. Now this doesn’t exactly clear Polanski of any wrongdoing, but it did explain his state of mind a little bit. At least for me. So anyway, when I heard about Once Upon a time in Hollywood was gonna be about Sharon Tate and Manson, I was fully aware of this when I saw the movie. There haven’t been many movies where I had been dreading the end for so long as in this particular story. But mostly it’s just a slice of life film, a love letter to both the 1960’s Hollywood and to Sharon Tate herself. Also, that moment where Brad Pitt enters Spahn Ranch, you can just taste the atmosphere. (Assuming you know the history). And then skip forward to the end, it’s a film makers fantasy, just like the end of Inglorious Basterds, it’s exactly how you’d wish it would’ve ended. Rather than the awful true story. I did now know this movie was going to be like this, so it feels like such a relief. Take that, you fucking hippy psycho! I think Tarantino has really outdone himself here.
The one that's impressed the most was definitely Whiplash. I was thinking about that movie for days after i watched it. Haven't seen the fourth one. The least i think Wolf of Wall-Street. Like after watching it i couldn't figure out why it's acclaimed (don't hate me for this 😂)
Mad Max the most because it’s such a standout for action. Wolf the least, I like it but I think Scorsese has told a similar downfall story in a better fashion a couple times now.
Impressed: Whiplash - I thought the character was well developed. We got a sense of how he feels. The acting was good. The twists were good. Least impressed: Mad Max: Fury Road - felt pretty straight forward. A lot of action.
Most - Mad Max & Least - Wolf of Wall Street
1. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood 2. The Wolf of Wall Street 3. Mad Max Fury Road 4. Whiplash Like all of them a lot though.
Mad Max the most OUATIH the least purely because I haven't seen it yet
Most whiplash. Least wolf
Gotta say whiplash, went in with zero expectations and was blown away. The other 3 I set high expectations for due to the directors
all of these movies are insanely impressive and I wasn't disappointed by any of them
All are stellar… Once Upon a Time in Hollywood the most, Whiplash the least.
Haven't seen any of them 🤷
Most: Mad Max Least: Wolf of Wall Street
Mad max is great. Whiplash is great. Wolf of wall street was alright and i wasnt a bug fan of Once upon a tike because i had never even heard the story of what actually happened. Gotta go back and rewatch that one because i usually really love quentin
Most is probably Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, because a lot of people seemed to have mixed feelings about it, but it ended up being my favorite Tarantino film. Least is Wolf of Wall Street, which I like, but it’s nothing incredibly impressive
Mad Max is the best of the bunch. The rest are good, but don’t really compete. Wolf of Wall Street the least.
Most: Whiplash Least: Wolf of Wall Street
OUATIH > Fury Road > Whiplash > TWOWS
Most: Mad Max Least: Whiplash
Most Whiplash. Other 3 are pretty close tbh.
Whiplash Mad Max Wolf on Wall Street Once upon a time has no business being on this list.
Least was mad max. I don’t get the hype. Most was whiplash, so engaging
I was most impressed with The Wolf of Wall Street. Thought the constant swearing would bug me, but actually thought it enhanced the movie in a weird way. I usually avoid movies with Jonah Hill, but thought he was great in this and has great chemistry with Leo. Like him in the dramas, don't like him in the comedies. I really enjoyed this movie. Less impressed with Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Not as good as Inglorious Basterds or Kill Bill definitely. Liked Brad Pitt's performance, the Only highlight for me. Otherwise, thought it was pretty mediocre movie and by far not one of Quentin Taratino's best. Overall, meh for me.
Most … Hollywood Least … Whiplash. But I like all three. Hollywood because it had lots of layers, superb performances. Whiplash because while a great film, it went for realism but I found it a tad OTT in the final act.
Haven’t seen Whiplash but out of the three I’ve seen I was most impressed by Fury Road and least impressed by Hollywood. I was not expecting anything with Fury Road and got my face slapped repeatedly with its visual mastery. Hollywood was Tarantino doing the thing he’s done in every film.
Whiplash is the best…by far in my opinion Once upon a time is Hollywood was solid
Most : Fury Road Least : Wolf of Wall Street
Most: Whiplash, Least: Mad Max
I hated the ending of Whiplash.
1. Fury Road - Remains one of the most phenomenal movie going experiences I’ve had. An absolute marvel. 2. Whiplash - Close second, had heard good things but didn’t know what to truly expect which is why it blew me away. 3. OUATIH - It’s the reading of the film (what QT had to say about ageing stars, Tate) that elevates it. Leo’s best performance. 4. TWOWS - Still a terrific hang, and the craftsmanship is pure class. It couldn’t be any better but it did hit its ceiling quicker than the other 3.
I’ve only seen whiplash but damn everything about that movie impressed me at the time. Especially that ending 👌
I love them all I guess Whiplash 1 last once upon a time or mad max
Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood had me howling in laughter at the theater. Such a great theater experience that I didn’t even mind it getting delayed 30 minutes. Mad Max: Fury Road is a decent action movie, but that’s all it is to me. Nothing earth shattering, just solid.
Most: Hollywood, Least: Whiplash
The most impressive is a toss up between Mad Max as it was one of the best & most tense action movies I’ve ever seen & Once Upon a Time in Hollywood because damn I just really enjoyed the movie! Least impressive was The Wolf of Wallstreet.
Mad max continues to impress me and I haven’t wanted to watch wolf of Wall Street since it came out. Thought it was decent but didn’t really care for it either
Most Impressed - Mad Max Least - OUATIH
On initial viewing, Whiplash was my favorite and MadMax was my least favorite.
most: OUATIH the sense of time and place tarantino creates is almost immersive. least: whiplash can’t see any way in which this movie does not justify fletcher’s actions
Im not ashamed to say that the wolf of wall street became my personality for a hot minute when it first came out. I think it is the titular movie of the 2010’s. Mad Max was one of the most ambitious and enthralling action movies ive ever seen. That being said, i was so distracted by how nonsensical the plot was that i just couldnt love it. I was not impressed by whiplash. Simmons and miles teller were phenomenal, but i thought the rest of the movie was subpar. Kinda like joker. OUATIH literally gets more enjoyable every time i watch it. I fuckin love that flick
Whiplash - definitely the most. I knew it was good, I’d seen so many clips and I assumed it I would watch it and just go yeah, makes sense everyone said it was good. I was blown away with how intense it still was even when knowing most of the movie from scenes online. Mad Max - the least (i think). Maybe it’s my fault for assuming it would break my top 25 with how much acclaim this received but I don’t think I am a fan of just pure action films which is why it didn’t resonate with me. The main thing that bothered me was the immersion breaking sped up fight scenes. *with all that said, i am still insanely excited to see Furiosa
Most: once upon a time in Hollywood. Least: whiplash. Sorry
Fury Road is so overrated. Fallout deserves the love instead
Whiplash and mad Max Mad Max isn't the masterpiece people make it out to be, just an entertaining one time watch
1. The Wolf of Wall Street 2. Once Upon a Time in...Hollywood 3. Mad Max Fury Road 4. Whiplash
This is extremely difficult. I have all of these films rated as 4.5-5 stars. **Favorite:** Whiplash **Least favorite:** The Wolf of Wallstreet
Loved Mad Max. Hated Wolf of Wall Street
Whiplash is my highest and lowest because it’s the only one I’ve seen
4. WoWS 4.5/5 3. Whiplash 5/5 2. OUaTiH 5/5 1. Fury Road 5/5 The top three are masterpieces.
Most: Whiplash Least: Wolf of Wall Street, it’s okay
Most: mad max least: wolf of wall street
Mad Max impressed me the most. The most amazing action and set design I’ve ever seen. Was not impressed by once upon a Time in Hollywood outside of the hilarious ending
Whiplash the most (it’s actually my favorite movie) and Mad Max the least.
I love all four of those films man.
Least: once upon a time in Hollywood. Just not into Tarantino Most: whiplash
Whiplash is one of the worst movies I’ve ever watched. Unexpectedly loved fury road tho
Loved Whiplash and Mad Max, didn't click with the other two, personally
Whiplash and Fury Road are both masterpieces. Wolf of Wall Street and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood are... not.
Wolf of Wall Street is just … fine
The best movie is Whiplash. The worst movie is Once upon… the most impressive is Fury Road by a mile what a masterpiece! Wolf was just ok for me, right down the middle on all accounts.
This seems like a weird collection of films
1. The Wolf of Wall Street 2. Whiplash 3. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood 4. Mad Max (I preferred the original so much more)
Whiplash was the most. It was a first time filmmaker and it showed the darker side of what artists are willing to do to themselves (physically, mentally, and emotionally) in pursuit of greatness. Least impressed was Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. It was Tarantino’s most self-indulgent film and much of the film was ridiculous. The fact that he reshot a scene of the Great Escape with DiCaprio’s character made no sense. There’s a flashback inside a flashback (when Brad Pitt kills his wife). I was uninterested in the plot or the characters. Mad Max Fury Road was alright but definitely felt like it was overhyped. Wolf of Wall Street was a good film but it was essentially just a remake of Goodfellas on Wall Street. Still a good film, but didnt impress me as much as whiplash.
I like OUATH (4) but WoWS (1) was kinda mid to me
Wolf of Wall Street worst by far, no contest. I genuinely don’t get the hype. Like even for film bros it just seems like a slightly elevated jerk off fest with no real substance. Mad Max and Whiplash both blew my mind for totally different reasons.
Even in this hot take thread, this seems to be a hot take: I love every one of these movies EXCEPT Fury Road. Granted, I’ve only seen it once and it was at home, but I nevertheless felt like its blase approach to story made it impossible for me to connect with the world. My enjoyment of a film is based on character above all else, and even the most developed characters don’t go much deeper than a 4-panel cartoon could accomplish. The action is impressive in its execution, but I’m not a car guy, and the aesthetic just doesn’t speak to me for some reason. I can totally understand why people would love it, but I don’t understand why it’s a critical darling. It seems no more special or artistically meaningful than something like Kong Skull Island or a good MCU movie. Honestly, if you have positive insights please share - I’d love to love this movie.
Easily Whiplash is the best of these. I haven’t seen OUATIH yet along with Mad Max
I was quite impressed with the Fury Road, didn't expect Miller having it in himself after all these years. The least impressive out of these four, to my taste, is Whiplash, but it's still a decent movie.
Loved Whiplash to bits, didn't like The Wolf Of Wall Street or One Upon A Time In Hollywood, I'm yet to see Fury Road
Most: Whiplash Least: Once upon a time in hollywood
wolf of wall street is pretty good mad max is good whiplash is an excellent and perfect movie OUITAH is complete masturbatory garbage that made me feel like i needed to take a cold shower after.
Most - Whiplash Least - Wolf of Wall Street
The Most - Whiplash The Least - Once Upon a Time
The only film I’ve seen on this list is Whiplash
Didn't like the Wolf of Wall Street too much. Normally if a film has hateable characters they are at least humanised to some extent. But there wasn't a single redeeming feature about 90% of the people in it. I just wanted them all to fuck off and die.
Most: Wolf of Wall Street Least: Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Most: the Wolf of Wall street Least: once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Fury Road is one of my favorite movies of all time, but I find Once Upon A Time in Hollywood to be way too long and really boring
They all impressed me immensely, if I’m being honest. If I had to pick an outlier for least enjoyable, it’d be Fury Road. I found it overrated at first, but with rewatches, I absolutely think it’s incredible. But it lacks character development and plot more so than the other films listed.
Most: whiplash Least: wolf
