I saw American Hustle a few weeks ago and saw Wolf of Wall Street over the weekend. I gotta say I thought Wolf of Wall Street was the better movie.

Agree? Disagree?

I was very disappointed in American Hustle. Thought it was pretty average compared to Silver Linings Playbook.

Wolf of Wall Street was just so much more entertaining

agree, but both far far far from their director's best.

Agree. Not even debatable

Wolf of Wall Street was a lot of fun and had the beautiful Margot Robbie, but I gotta say I thought American Hustle was a much better movie.
Loved them both, but AH was better.

American Hustle is light Oscar fluff. No matter how you feel about the subject matter of WoWS, there's simply no denying which is the better film.

I though American Hustle was better.

But WoWS was hilarious though

Preferred hustle, but both were too long

Agree with the OP

Wolf of Wall Street and 12 Years A Slave are the best movies of 2013

Sure there is. Wolf isn't even that good. Lets take Goodfellas, rip out the heart and do more drugs and stick it in Wallstreet.

Hustle isn't much better but I like the time period more so it wins.

AH felt like an amateurish attempt at remaking Boogie Nights + Casino. It's Oscar baiting fluff, like someone else said.

Preferred AH.

Maybe I was expecting more out of Wolf because so many on here were saying it destroyed AH, but it wasn't as good as I'd hoped.

It was fun and I liked it, but it wasn't hysterical by any stretch. I though AH was a far more interesting story with better performances.

I know most people liked WOWS more but I definitely didn't. I thought it was entertaining but kind of cheap humor. I think people say it's a better film than it is because it's Scorsese. Not saying you have to like AH more, I'm just stating why I didn't really like the WOWS very much.
