People are saying they were annoyed by the amount of greed in ''Wolf'' but forget that it was based on a true story. Why watch it if you know its about greed? I haven't seen Gravity yet, but it looks boring.

I loved Wolf, I believe DiCaprio should've won for that role. It was so outrageous I couldn't help but love it. I haven't seen Gravity however I probably won't because I'm just not a Bullock fan. I got sick of her a couple years ago & it hasn't let go yet.

Haven't seen Wolf yet but I really liked Gravity. I wasn't expecting much and I don't think it actually had much substance when you think about it but the visuals and effects were amazing like I was right there with the characters. Would I watch it again? probably not but it was a fun ride the first time.

I thought "Gravity" was an excellent movie, for what it was. What they set out to do, they accomplished very, very skillfully.

"The Wolf Of Wall Street," on the other hand, was one of the most utterly worthless pieces of crap I've seen in years. The only reason I stuck with it beyond the first hour was that I hated everyone in it so much I couldn't wait to see them get arrested.

Yesterday I just saw Gravity for the first time and it was better than I expected.

I sat down to watch Wolf of Wall Street with my 75 year old parents, and it was uncomfortable.

You exemplify what's wrong with the American movie-viewing public. Don't base a movie on YouTube trailer or a critic. Try to base whether to see film on reflections from friends or family that ACTUALLY saw it. Thanks for studious opinion.

I'm much younger than your parents and I was uncomfortable.
The main reason I didn't like Gravity was - first one problem, got out of that, then a second problem,
got through that then to the 4th problem....a bit over the top. In my opinion it could have been
better if it was "somewhat believable."

Well, I really enjoyed Gravity.
Yeah there were some plot holes you could drive a semi through, if you get wrapped up in the science, but things moved along really well, and you can enjoy the ride without being distracted by them during the flick.

I wasn't going to see Gravity, not being a big Bullock fan. However I do appreciate the movies that George Clooney has a hand in and after hearing what my son said about it I gave it a try and thoroughly enjoyed it. Bullock has become a much better actress than she was when she was younger.
