WTF are you talking about? People liked BVS because Zack Snyder is white?

Cloverfield was utter crap. It didn't raise any questions other than how the fuck did it cost $45 million to make? Or is that just the price Netflix bought it for.

I have no idea what the point of this was. They just go to the other dimension, all get killed then they decide to come back. Nothing made any sense. Some scenes that are made to look creepy end up just being laughable - the table footballers spinning is a neat idea but if the polarity is changing then WHY IS NOTHING ELSE ON THE SHIP SPINNING? Why would mixing atoms from different dimensions make things have their own minds? E.g. the wall that moves around of its own accord. The arm crawling around I can almost get, but why is it writing? How does it know the gyro thing is inside the dude? How does the guy not notice there's an object inside him and why do the worms make up shoot up the ship? Why when the room with Chris O'Dowd is magnetised, why does the pipe start strangling him? Why would any of this supernatural stuff happen? None of it made sense. This is despite several characters being on hand to explain the plot to us. Felt like 10 different movies smashed together, was utterly stupid and easily the worst film of the year so far. It's barely a film and I have no idea how it made it to release in this edit. If this is really the best they could do in the editing room then it is a true clusterfuck of a movie. For what it's worth I think the premise is great. I remember the conspiracy theories that made tabloid headlines when CERN activated their hadron collider, people who said a black hole would be opened. But the movie fails on every front.

Literally nothing in this film is making any internal sense whatsoever.

Well thank God that Daniel bruhl is here to play Basil Exposition whenever we need

Okay what the fuck is going on in this stupid movie

Watching the new cloverfield, don't really see what is so weird about it.

Disappointments I've had some nice surprises this year, but also some sour disappointments. I try to be pretty neutral about films and not get too excited, but there were a few films that I was in some way looking forward to and upon seeing them, was rather disappointed. Suburbicon I like George Clooney and this one looked interesting. Clooney took an unused Coen script and mixed it with another story of racial abuse. Sounds great. Unfortunately this was a complete mess, with both stories falling short of the mark. I like both stories, but together it just doesn't work. Every time it follows one path, you want to be on the other, and vice versa. And the best thing about the film, the one thing that actually is great - Oscar Isaac, and he gets killed off after just two scenes! Bright Okay maybe I was being optimistic with this one. But I love high fantasy, orcs and elves and all that good stuff, so I was looking forward to this. Not a David Ayer fan but I thought this could be the film that changes my mind on him. Joel Edgerton as an orc? Yep, I'm in. It turned out even worse than some of the reviews suggested. Somehow they've managed to form the most generic cop movie out of what is a fantastic open premise with a whole universe of ideas to explore. A complete waste of time. Thor: Ragnarok Yep, I know I'm going to get murdered for this one. Taika Waititi is an extremely talented filmmaker. What We Do in the Shadows is the funniest film I've ever seen. Hunt for the Wilderpeople was funny and charming and virtually perfect. I had high hopes for this, thinking if it was a fraction as funny as his previous movies, it would be gold. I thought this could finally be the Marvel movie that is different from the cookie cutter mould. Sorry to say it is exactly the same forgettable film that the rest of the MCU is. Yeah it's funnier than like, Iron Man, but that is not hard. A real let down. It really shows how much the studio/franchise behemoth suffocates talented directors and TBH i don't see why Marvel keeps hiring good directors if they force them to all make exactly the same thing. Oh well, hopefully Taika will take his fat paycheque and go make something good again.

Spielberg summed up.

Oh, right. Yeah forgot this is the best 100

those eyes, man.

Could you please remove Showgirls, Basic Instinct and The Pick of Destiny as these are good movies.

this should have been the world of warcraft movie.

If you google disaster movies it comes up with Airplane! so I'm going to say thats the best disaster movie.

Trust in the Link.

Second time I watched it was with a full cinema that was roaring with laughter, which I think always helps, and it makes the non-funny bits stand out i.e. the action sequences. The movie really is carried by its actors, they are the source of all interest, talent and humour. I personally liked the setup of the film, liked a few touches like the NPCs but mostly its down to Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart and Jack Black. And yes I'm excluding Karen Gillen because apart from that one very good scene of physical comedy, almost nothing she does in the rest of the film is funny.

especially the last act, which is an absolute snooze.

love it, 100% accurate. but I still love taika.

I wasn't completely sold on the twist ending either. Why would they believe her given they've doubted her all the time? I just saw this and was impressed at what it does for such a mainstream expensive movie. Not surprised at all that it's bombing. Couple of people in my screening walked out, I think the marketing is slightly deceiving. It's no "Black Widow" movie as people at one point were calling it. It's not a jennifer lawrence action movie. I dont agree with criticisms of it being inconsistent in tone, you can't just have grim nastiness in every scene. It sets it up pretty clearly when her first action is bludgeoning the two dancers, then as soon as she is in the training camp she's raped and abused. It was really nasty and brutal, very visceral. Once Jlaw & Joel kill the agent in his apartment, the shot of Joel Edgerton's back made me very close to actually throwing up, which is not something I can recall ever experiencing in a cinema before. I don't go seeking out bloody films or horror movies but even so, it's an achievement. I am a bit iffy on some of the plot but didn't detract too much. I am mostly impressed and pleased that Lawrence (director Lawrence) was able to take $70 million and make a violent movie with proper torture. Guess he wont get that chance again though.

I'm sorry but I don't think people knowing his name counts for box office draw. I see little reason to suggest that you can attribute the success of Alice in Wonderland or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, to Depp. Charlie made less than half of for example, The Jungle Book which featured 0 popular actors, and yet Charlie's success is down to having an A list star? I stand by what I said

Social Justice award for Most Offensive Film Some films are unfunny, some films are boring, some films are disappointing, and some films are just plain fucking offensive. It takes a lot to rile me up in terms of what offends me, but I really have it in for this one... Rough Night So this is a feminist's version of The Hangover. Some friends have a hen night and decide to hire a stripper, who they accidentally kill at the start of the movie. Isn't that really funny? And so the rest of the movie they have to keep finding inventive ways of trying to hide his corpse, which results in utter hilarity. Ha ha ha. Male corpses are just inherently funny, right? Why is it okay to portray this? Can you imagine a mainstream studio movie in which a group of guys kill a prostitute and then drag her body around a film set for laughs? Yeah, I don't think so. It is beggars belief that this is somehow acceptable, that because it's more power to women, its okay to just laugh at dead men? The subject is just not funny, and if there even is a funny way to do this, the movie certainly failed at that. And of course the thing we as an audience are meant to care about really, is that Scarlett Johansson's Hillary Clinton clone might get in trouble at work if her colleagues find out she killed a stripper. GO HILLARY! The worst thing is I saw this on a 7 hour plane flight with old fashioned non-demand channels and this was the only channel that worked. So I was subjected to this lower-than-dogshit "film" not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES ON REPEAT. As the person next to me was doing the same, I would have to suffer it either way, so I really couldn't turn it off. I cannot express how depressing this experience was. When I grudgingly walked to the toilet in the middle of my triple-bill, I did give the airtight emergency exit hatch a second glance.

aquaman is not a 250M production.

yes, it was. It was about A A Milne, who wrote Winnie the Pooh. This one is a fictional movie about the fictional Christopher Robin who is a character in Winnie the Pooh.

which is about 100M too high.
