Aquaman....lame.

Hereditary was a great story idea that fell flat on it's face. (I have a review in this forum)
Deadpool 2 was a decent flick. Some parts were a little dumb, but overall pretty decent.
Spider-Man...blah blah....ugh
Aquaman...you and the other three people who saw it.
Avengers: Infinity Wars... good as long as you can ignore the 100 problems in the film that make you say "eh??"

I don't get the love for Hereditary. I didn't particularly like it.
Deadpool 2 didn't quite live up to the first movie, but it was still fun and funny.
Into the Spider-Verse was actually very enjoyable.
I haven't seen Aquaman, and I don't really expect it to be good, but "three people who saw it"? The movie has made $800 million so far.
That's a pretty good take on Infinity War. There are definitely problems with the movie. I think it's a very good first-watch film, but subsequent viewings are not nearly as good as some of the flaws become more apparent or harder to ignore.

I loved hereditary. I get the criticisms of the move, and it definitely isn’t for everyone. Horror isn’t my favorite genre, but I love horror movies that really get in your head and stick with you for a good while; the more psychological ones like The Exorcist, Silence of the Lambs, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, etc.

It definitely takes a lot from classic horror films, but I just felt like it was done so well. It’s probably my favorite horror movie of the past 10 years or so along with A Dark Song.

Also, I normally wouldn’t have this many comic book movies on my list, but no other movies really impressed me this year except for Hereditary.

I don't remember all that much about Hereditary, but I think my problem was that the story ended up not making a lot of sense. I didn't get upset because it was derivative of other horror movies; I watch very little horror, so I doubt I would have noticed similarities with other movies.

I think Silence of the Lambs is a thriller rather than a horror.

Just my opinion, I weigh movies by their "believability"; a movie that doesn't surpass the audiences ability to suspend reality.
And hereditary did not pass that test. For instance the teen brother, he sees a demonic being come out of the wall and grab hold of him while he is in bed. Yet...he only mildly freaks out about it...and simply goes back to bed. Really???? That is not believable.
In the movie Infinity Wars. If you knew nothing of the story line, never saw an Avenger movie before, didn't know the characters or their abilities - then it was a pretty good movie with fantastic special effects. But....they made glaring errors that stretched fans of Avengers ability to forget how wrong the situation was. Repeatedly.
And Dark Song is a brilliant movie. One of the best horror movies made, and would be a respectable candidate for the best horror film of the decade.

When you talk about Avengers characters and their abilities, do you mean the normal problem comic book teams suffer from wherein characters with wildly different ability levels fight the same things? Or is it some sort of internal inconsistencies within the movies that you mean?

No problem. It may be too late to warn you, but Hereditary is not for everyone. I've heard people say they watched it and weren't scared at all. Those people thought the movie was hilariously bad. To each their own, I found the movie extremely effective in its psychological horror. However, it is an extremely slow burn. I hope you like it!

Just finished it. Terrible movie. No scares just an absurd plotline with the ugliest cast ever assembled for a single movie.

No offense but that was BAAAAAAD lol

All good. It's definitely a divisive movie. I still love it, haha.

Here's my list:

1. Jumanji
2. Bohemian Rhapsody
3. Creed II
4. Mission Impossible: Fallout
5. The Predator

I haven't seen most of the others.

Funny, Jumanji was the only one of those I've seen and it was boring and juvenile. And I like those kind of movies. If that was your number one, I can only guess the others got better from 1 to 5.

I thought Jumanji was silly, funny entertainment. I was surprised how good it was.

I didn't see 2 or 3, but MI:Fallout was pretty good. The Predator, on the other hand, was garbage. I was barely able to sit through it.

From my review in this forum:

It was well received by critics, not exactly sure why. When you find yourself laughing outloud when it is supposed to be a scary moment in the movie.... something is wrong.

This movie was a great idea.... poorly executed.
I just couldn't get into it. The mother character was overly dramatic, while the son and father were under-dramatic. I mean if you saw your dead sister clearly standing at the foot of your bed...and her head falls off...and then two arms come out of the wall and grab your head choking you - and you are clearly fully awake... I am pretty damn sure you wouldn't just go back to sleep.

Overall.... 2.5 out of 5 stars. Good for a boring rainy day and you can't find much else on.

My list:

1. Hereditary
2. Deadpool 2
3. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
4. Aquaman
5. Avengers: Infinity War

In my opinion:

1. Dead Pool 2
2. Nothing else rates.

This was the worst year ever for movies, but I don’t like superhero movies (except the formentioned Dead Pool).
