What was the favorite movies you watched this year?
Annihilation - It's been awhile since I've watched a very dark and intense scifi movie that I really liked. The idea of it, the atmosphere, the horror is done real well and you get really engaged.
Pacific Rim 2: Uprising - People give this one a lot of shit, and in aspects deservedly so, as it's not nearly as good as the first movie, but I had a lot of fun with the film. Del Toro would've made a much better film with the same kinda heft and impact as the first, but in terms of giant monsters and giant mechs, it's a good time.
Rampage - Now this one is not a good movie, but dammit I enjoy it lol It's The Rock at his "Rockiest" and you can feel the fatigue setting in on him, but once you start getting giant monsters attacking everyone, it gets fun. I love the whole finale as nonsense as it is. Thinking about it, it could be my favorite videogame movie ever perhaps...Not a high mark to reach, but it's still an achievement.
Avengers: Infinity War - For what is the culmination of 10 years of movies, I think this is a great beginning of the end for this era of superhero movies. I don't think Marvel can ever hit the same high ever again and they don't really need to. We'll still get some good films though and this one and the next one will be a good one to go out on.
Deadpool 2 - Ryan Reynolds kills it as this character and these movies have just been great. Doubt we'll get anything like this again with him going to Disney, but at least we got two fun Deadpool films.
Incredibles 2 - Just as fun as the first one was to me, making both of them two of my favorite Pixar films.
Train to Busan - I still enjoy zombie games and movies and this is probably one of the better zombie films I've seen in years. I kept worrying it would become World War Z with its zombies, but it never does and the concept of confining survivors to locations can work really well. I also like how the zombies were very animated as it makes them stand out from other types of zombies we've seen before.
The Night Comes For Us - It's The Raid and The Raid 2, just with a mob setup and lots of violence. LOTS OF VIOLENCE. I don't feel like this is quite as good as those two, but it's super violent as fuck and crazy with how far they take it lol
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse - This and the game are the easily two of the best forms of Spider-Man media we've gotten. While I don't love some of its art style decisions, everything else is just wonderful. A really fun time.
