i read this and nobody wrote about Shutter Island? it was so so bad i hated it. I hated how people said it was so clever. it was one of the only movies that I spotted continuity errors and mistakes on the first watch in the theatre. and I do NOT believe those mistakes were intentional. the movie was so obvious is the "clever bits" that it tried to do that these mistakes were just not in the same lane. the movie tried to be an Aranovsky movie, but Scorcese is not that director.

Literally every thor movie OTHER than Thor Ragnarok. They're just stale and full of lore that I don't care about, also the older ones are so dark I can't see anything. Ragnarok is SO funny to me and I was hoping Thor: Love and Thunder (the sequel) would be like that too but it was just too lore heavy for it to really latch onto me :(
Perhaps I just have the brain of a 12 year old that laughs at a guy getting hit in the head with a big rubber ball but like I'm in the movie for a good time, not note taking ๐ญ
Ragnarok and Guardians Of The Galaxy feels like fun short story books that's like 200 pages and has images while the others feel like the 4th book in a series that's like 500 pages each.
that being said I know hardly nothing about the marvel universe past basic stuff, so it's probably just me ๐
(also I don't know box offices, I just know what my peers opinions are on them)
My partner and I have started a rewatch of all the Marvel movies because we hate ourselves and it's too late to stop now. Gotta say, I've been surprised a couple times at how different the quality is vs what I remember it being.
Thor: The Dark World was surprisingly good when I remembered it being shit. The villain is a little lame, but other than that, it's actually a fun movie.
Oh the other hand, Iron Man 3. Oh boy. That is a bad movie. Like really bad. Literally the worst one we've seen so far and we just caught up to Infinity War. It's sitting at a 7/10 on IMDB and I'm shocked it's that high. That whole movie is full of cheese and bad plots. It contributes literally nothing to advance the overall MCU story. The whole thing feels like a cheap holiday special, which makes sense because it's literally a Christmas movie.

Tolkein.
I tried watching the new tolkein Rohirrim movie. There were clues I would hate it already, but they started with one of those 'tolkein songs' like by elves or whatever ~one of the ones where he's like modeling the dialect on some euro language and being a nerd with glasses in the library holding up a schematic of what he just made and being like, "it's music". So it started with that and I was done. did not get past opening song.

I honestly can't stand the vast majority of popular movies. They also keep getting longer and longer, and I already struggle to sit through an hour and a half long movie
Lucifer. My sis loved it and I hated it with a passion. I don't think Ellis is any good in it and they're just relying on him (and the other actors) being hot instead of actually telling a decent story or making enjoyable characters.

The French Dispatch.
God what a boring piece of crap, and people seem to think it's all the rage.
