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.

Poor Things
I saw nothing but praise for this thing and have no idea why. None of the characters are relatable, their take on female empowerment is creepy and gross, and almost every male character is either evil or a simp. This is like a weird fourth wave feminist Frankenstein porno.

Mortal Engines. I have not read the source materials.
Amazing concept, fantastic visuals, weak story, weak characters. Apparently just accidentally spliced in the end of Return of the Jedi instead of finishing the movie.
Diehard. What boring, macho-worshiping crap. Can't even watch it ironically.
I hate Lord of the Rings. Well, I don't hate it. I just don't understand why people love it so much (not "why everyone loves it", but "when one person loves it they love it more than anything else"). I don't consider the story all that enjoyable, especially for the movies. I definitely don't consider it rewatchable.
Like, I'm the target demographic. I was 16 when the first one came out. I played DnD and Magic the Gathering. Warcraft 2 was one of my favorite games. Mages and Orcs are something I've always had in my life since as long as I can remember. My parents read the Hobbit to me and I had read fellowship and two towers at some point around 11 or 12. But the movies? They just don't connect with me. And I've never had anyone be able to put into words what it is that makes it click for them.
