Best Movie Of 2014

Rating: 7/10 (28 July 2014)

Well all I can say about this movie is it impressed me to no end, Luc Besson pulled it off yet again with a likable anti-hero type that despite all forces working against her well, I won't spoil it but Scarlett Jo did a wonderful job portraying this character.
Only hitch I found were the 'bad guys' that were annoying and I only partially understand why they were a continued threat; some other plot device could have been used to drive the story (CIA, FBI, NASA, NSA, CSIS - anything really) - something that would really give governments a cause for concern is someone with powers such as Scarlet Johansson obviously had so except for the stereotyped mafia types chasing throughout the movie everything else was strong.
I really enjoyed the philosophical moments, a quiet moment early on when Lucy calls a loved one - the technologies that were displayed, the visuals, the music and score.
I really think this was a strong effort and well, we'll have to see if this becomes a Trilogy.
I gave this movie a 9/10, if more attention had been paid to the broader scope someone like Lucy would pose a threat to world governments and ALL forces would therefore make efforts against her I think that would have set the stage for some really fantastic stand-offs. What we got was OK, but not great as it was a bit too simplistic for what was happening in other parts of the movie near the end.
