The only blockbuster to receive a solid A from me in this decade is Inception 

 

Only movie I watched 4 times in IMAX. Literally dragged everyone I knew to watch it or gave them a solid recommendation.

Agreed, which is why I was disappointed when

when Jacob was forced to forget everything, even if he did get a happy ending. Hopefully they'll somehow be able to bring him back for the sequels.

 

 

Undoubtedly he will be. I don't think anyone doubts that but you.

[Jack Nevada]

Might skip Rogue One. Didn't care for The Force Awakens and idk, I just can't get excited for blockbusters anymore. I loved the visuals in Doctor Strange but it's still soooo formulaic.

The Joel Embiid turnover machine will crush Chewy's spirit

 

I don't even know who this is. Must be some offshoot of that sport which ends after college.

I mean I thought Civil War and Star Trek Beyond were pretty good. I guess my third favorite was... Batman v Superman? Jesus.

 

And GODS OF EGYPT doesn't count, it's not a blockbuster it's an art film

You seen BFG? The only one live-action blockbuster I really loved this year, though it's been lonely on this train. 

 

Also, nothing wrong with growing more demanding the more movies you watch. And good-to-great movies will always be out there no matter where your tastes lie at any given moment. Though I gotta admit that the general direction of Hollywood doesn't fill me with optimism.

I get the feeling: 

 

Queenie did something to him when she kissed him so he didn't completely forget. and his reaction to seeing Queenie when she was in the bakery. I imagine he'll be back although the sequel is set in Paris and London so I wonder how Tina, Queenie and Jacob will figure

Top three blockbusters are Suicide Squad, Independence Day: Resurgence and Ben-Hur

Didn't you jizz your pants when The Rogue One trailer first came out?

[Jack Nevada]

But if you have an arthouse near by you should definitely see The Handmaiden and Toni Erdmann when it comes out.

Don't do this to me. Embiid and Ben Simmons are off-limits.

 

Go after Wentz

Star Trek Beyond was probably my favorite big budget film so far.  And  I liked the hell out of the Accountant.  But Everybody Wants Some and Sing Street are near the top of my favorites.

 

And here's something unexpected, my dad who's 66 told me Deadpool was one of his favorite movies he's watched this year.

[Heretic]

Out of all the blockbusters this year, FB is easily the most creative and enjoyable. Deadpool, The Jungle Book and Civil War are the only other 3 I'd consider above average films.

Weirdly enough, I am actually interested in this one despite being disappointed by TFA.

Haven't seen SS yet so I can't comment on that one.

Looking at this m'fer

[Dementeleus]

I think the only tentpoles I unabashedly enjoyed were DEADPOOL and GHOSTBUSTERS. The rest are a mash of mostly lukewarm dislike or lukewarm like. Admittedly there are several I haven't seen yet. 

[Jack Nevada]

Oh and Paul Verhoeven's Elle is a real fun, fucked up movie. Highly recommended.

SS isn't too awful. It's just eh for the most part.

 

Cara's the only truly awful part. Ugh

[ddddeeee]

Ghostbusters was probably my favourite? I liked BFG quite a bit too.
