The 2017 film projects for the most part have a modern rhythm and a spoken language accessible to the masses. They are full of humor, witty dialogues, have a dynamically developing plot. The list of the best films released last year included films with relevant ideas and topics highlighted, their characters are recognizable, they deservedly gained success with the audience.
Fiction and rhythmic action
This publication presents the best examples of the global film industry, whose premiere screening took place from January to December 2017.
The list of the best films opens with the creation of scriptwriter James Gann, Guardians of the Galaxy. Part 2". The author abandoned the proven sequel rule: do the same as in the original tape, only on a larger scale. And he gave out, perhaps, the most amusing and at the same time touching project in the history of Marvel Studios. The director was more than compensated for the complete lack of suspense by an invigorating comedy rhythm.
Keeps up with Gann’s work, the brainchild of Edgar Wright's “Baby on Drive” is the most “rhythmic” film of 2017. The list of the best films would not be complete without this fresh film with gangsters, young lovers and spectacular races. It seemed that after the Fast and the Furious franchise, it was impossible to come up with something innovative in terms of storytelling in which cars and drivers were rightful participants, but Wright managed to add an intriguing zest to his work. Everything that happens in the frame brilliantly synchronizes with the soundtrack.
Most anticipated
The list of best films of the past year includes one of the most anticipated film projects “Blade Runner 2049”. Director Denis Villeneuve managed to shoot a wonderful continuation of the cult fantastic thriller, and no less beautiful and exciting. Continuing the work of Ridley Scott, Denis arranges a delightful immersion in the world of the future, developing futuristic ideas, proposing new concepts and approaches to already known material.
The true benefit of Hugh Jackman as a dramatic actor was the film "Logan". Wolverine, protecting the little mutant girl, goes out on the warpath for the last time. With his hopeless and terribly gloomy project, James Mangold proved that with a rating of R you can shoot not only rollicking fighters like Deadpool, but also tragic pictures about the conscious choice and apprehension of death.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi is also on the list of best films. Ryan Johnson, continuing the story of the Skywalkers, thoroughly shook the legendary franchise. He offers to finally part with the past and look into the future.
And laughter and sin ...
A list of the best comedy films is opened by Jordan Peel's Away. The film community did not expect one of the most outstanding contemporary comedies from the co-author of the sketch show “Key and Peel” and the tape “Keanu”. “Off” is a fascinating satire on the lifestyle and society of the United States, in which the ridiculous alright coexists with the terrifying.
Comedy thriller with Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson, “The killer’s bodyguard,” the critics greeted rather coolly, and the audience with genuine enthusiasm. The project is a mix of most popular movie genres. The picture strikes on the spot. All 118 minutes of timing are a comedy-fighting madness with an abundance of endless humor.
Unlike “The Killer Bodyguard”, the comedy “Logan's Luck” is not so exciting, but warmer and more comfortable. In the movie, it is not the robbery itself that matters, but the personalities of the charming and at the same time ridiculous characters who enjoy the process.
The movie Awesome Girls is a perfect example of contemporary American comedies. In Malcolm D. Lee's project, all attention is concentrated around vulgar sorting humor and scenes of a sexual nature.
