Well this was a little late, but better late than not at all, right? The 2010s were a big year, probably for a lot of us. We all had that point in our lives in that decade where things were changing, some small, others massive. But who cares about all that person stuff. Let's talk about material things that we just like. Movies, video games, animation, all that great stuff. This will be a five part 기사 series, so look 앞으로 to 더 많이 기사 coming afterward. Let's start off with something simple, movies. Talking about my 가장 좋아하는 film of each year, as well as my least 가장 좋아하는 from that same year. That's right, twenty movies. Some good, others shit. Keep in mind that this is my personal opinion and that these are in no order of good to the best 또는 bad to the absolute worst. It's just in the order of year. So, let's start off with talking about 2010
2010 Worst Movie
Runner-Ups: A Nightmare on Elm 거리 Remake, Grown Ups, The Switch
Yeah, this movie came out in 2010. I was shocked too, but low and behold, here it is, in all it's awkward glory. Now I loved Avatar: The Last Airbender. There was no show like it when it came out, at least on American TV. It had a lot of great characters and an overarching plot line, years before Steven Universe did and took all the credit for being a show that had great characters and an overarching plot. So naturally, the movie is just... a mess. Plot contrivances, bad acting, and just an absolute insult to the show itself, nothing about the movie felt true to the show 또는 the fandom. It just felt soulless. And to think this was going to be a first part of a three part trilogy, but boy did that not happen. The movie dropped harder than my granddad down the stairs and died just the same, taking M. Night Shamalamabingbang's career down with it. If 당신 wanted a reason to hate yourself, give The Last Airbender a watch and you'll feel disgusted 의해 the end.
2010 Best Movie
Runner-Ups: Toy Story 3, Megamind, Kick-Ass
Okay, so Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World isn't as gripping of a narrative 또는 as well acted 또는 even paced, but goddamn, what it lacks in writing, it 더 많이 than makes up in presentation. This movie is an action packed experience unlike anything else at the time and I enjoyed it 더 많이 than I should've. Being a minor 팬 of the 책 and being 더 많이 than pissed that the game was taken off digital stores forever, watching the movie was a lovely experience. What other movie can 당신 watch where Michael Cera in all his awkwardness beats up Captain America who is a skater boy in this movie? Yeah, exactly. The 책 had better characterization, but the movie had way better fights. The fight with the evil ex's like Lucas Lee and Todd Ingram were much better here, using their own unique concepts for what they would do in a fight and not cheaping out with a lame ending to the fight. The 음악 fight between Sex Bob-Omb and the Katayanagi Twins was so much better. The movie turned one of the lamest and most forgettable fights into an insane 음악 battle. Even the comedy lands pretty well in this movie. Scott Pilgrim is an 아니메 created 의해 a Canadian brought to life 의해 an English director. None of this should've worked, and it kinda... didn't. I mean, the film was a financial failure and I do think it's Edgar Wright's worst film thus far, but that doesn't change the fact that this is an absolute blast of a film and easily deserving of 더 많이 attention. It's on Netflix right now. Watch this. Don't watch Airbender.
2011 Worst Movie
Runner-Ups: Cowboys Vs. Aliens, Green Lantern, Arthur
I fucking hated Alivn and the Chipmunks because I was forced to watch that shit over and over again as a kid, but they weren't 2011 and near that point when new ones came out, it was already over. But Smurfs came out and I had to watch that, so fuck it, The Smurfs. I genuinely have no idea why they keep making cartoon characters experience what it's like to be in the real world. They are cartoon characters. Isn't the whole point of them to be cartoon-like? Not that it was that much of a big deal for the Smurfs since they were boring. Yeah, I said it. Fuck the Smurfs. Snorks for life! But aside from that, the Smurfs looked disgusting in this movie. The way they are animated with these gross blue bodies and yet 당신 can see every pore in their skin. It makes me uncomfortable. But the rest of the movie is typical cartoon live action adaptation trash, even with product placement. But not just any product placement. Product placement for 기타 Hero, a game that has been dead for years even after The Smurfs came out in 2011. I've heard rumors that they are trying to make a new Smurfs move, and all I can say is just let them die out. I don't want it, and I'm pretty sure 당신 don't either.
2011 Best Movie
Runner-Ups: Rango, Attack the Block, Hugo
Okay, so I know Hobo with a Shotgun is nothing like these other films. Rango is a 더 많이 creative story, Attack the Block is 더 많이 clever with it's wit, and Hugo is Hugo, of course it's great. But fuck ya'll, I want an excuse to talk about this cult hit and I'm gonna do it (I promise not all my choices will be cult stuff. 인기 stuff will show up on here). Hobo with a Shotgun is brutal, violent, disgusting and doesn't shy away from it's graphic content. It is a disgusting vigilante movie through and through and yet it is one of my favorites just for the concept and the visual effects. Not to mention, it gets to a point where it starts to just have fun with the concept. Yeah, I know some people don't want their 히어로즈 to be violent killers, but 당신 gotta think about the kinds of people in this city. Pedophiles, sex traffickers, people who light a school bus with children inside on fire. These are the absolute worst people. Even minor criminals in this film try to unload a 큰 술병, 매그넘 into a baby. Plus the camera work in this film is something I always aspire to be. Hobo with a Shotgun is like a Tarantino film on a budget and I can respect that.
2012 Worst Movie
Runner-Ups: Resident Evil: Retribution, The Devil Inside, That's My Boy
If 당신 know me, you'd know I 사랑 the subtle psychological horror of Silent Hill. Silent 언덕, 힐 3 is an amazing piece of horror media, one of the best out there and it's one of the reasons I cannot stand Revelations. Say what 당신 will about the original Silent 언덕, 힐 movie, whether 당신 liked it 또는 not (I didn't), but at least it had style and focus and a basic desire to be somewhat related to the games, but Revelation tries it's own thing and fails miserably. This is no different than 글쓰기 fanfiction because 당신 think 당신 can do better, but failing. And I wouldn't even be upset if the movie was at least a laughable disaster like other video game movies. 거리 Fighter: The Movie and Double Dragon at least have the decency of being a hilarious mess, but Revelations, despite being a horror movie, is boring. And it's one thing to be a boring movie, which is a problem in and of itself, but being a boring horror movie. If 당신 don't leave your audience uncomfortable, even a little, 당신 failed as a horror film. Then again, I guess it was the start of what to expect from Hollywood horror films, so it was at least a pioneer in boring horror films, so... yay?
2012 Best Movie
Runner-Ups: Wreck-It Ralph, The Avengers, Django Unchained
I know The Avengers is a big deal and I like The Avengers, but I have to give it to Hotel Transylvania. Around this point, I was pretty tired of animated movies, I thought they were pretty lackluster... Little did I know that 겨울왕국 2 would come out and change my mind, but I was a lot 더 많이 critical... well less critical and 더 많이 of a piss baby who just wanted old 디즈니 movies. But Hotel Transylvania came out and really changed my mind. I can shit all over Adam Sandler all 일 and I'm sure many have, but when he tries, he can really be a funny and talented person... if it's a rare sight. Basically, his performance as Dracula wasn't half bad. Yes, the rapping part makes me wanna fucking die, but aside from that, it's not bad. I really 사랑 the wacky animation. CGI 애니메이션 was always about making 더 많이 realistic movements while still having a cartoon style, but Hotel Transylvania proved that 당신 can still make the fun, zany 애니메이션 style that 만화 are known for in the computer generated animation, which I think I loved most about the movie. Hotel Transylvania is just an 사무용 겉옷, 전반적인 fun animated family film that I think anyone should give a try. Also, Mavis Dracula... That alone makes this my film of the year.
2013 Worst Movie
Runner-Ups: Grown Ups 2, Man of Steel, Hangover Part III
Oh, M. Night, 당신 cheap son of a B, taking two bad films on this article. Now After Earth is the complete opposite of Airbender. Airbender was a boring, borderline offensive film to watch. After Earth is an incompetent movie that is so bad that I can't help but laugh at it, but that's mostly due to both the overacting of Jaden Smith as well as my knowledge of his other things like his Twitter account and Neo Yokeo. After Earth is, sadly, aside from Jaden's acting, not a very memorable film. In fact, I remember nothing aside from the bad 연기 that had me gasping for air in laughter when I watched it with friends. Yes, I made my 프렌즈 suffer through this. I am a horrible friend, I am aware. But seriously, is there anything worse than a film that 당신 can't remember? Well, I guess falling asleep, but surely no film made me do that...... After Earth is a forgettable experience. If 당신 really want to laugh at Jaden, well, I'd prefer 당신 didn't, but his Twitter is always there. But he did make the theme song for Into the Spider-Verse, so cut him some slack.
2013 Best Movie
Runner-Ups: The World's End, The 늑대 of 벽 Street, The Conjuring
당신 know, it's hard to get good giant mecha in movies. Sure, there's The Iron Giant, but that's not a mecha. Now Pacific Rim, that's a mecha. I know del Toro made one other action movie aside from Pacific Rim and that was... Blade II. That was the best Blade movie, but that's not much of an achievement. But Pacific Rim is an absolute joy to watch. It manages to have the amazing creature designs that del Toro is known for while giving mecha 연인들 like myself something truly amazing. I have never seen mecha designs this creative since I watched Evangelion as a wee lad. Yes, really. I probably shouldn't have been watching Evangelion, but I did it anyway. The movie is an enjoyable action film, appealing to both people who like a good story and people who want a dumb action film. And it clearly worked since we got Pacific Rim: Uprising...... We don't talk about Pacific Rim: Uprising, people.
2014 Worst Movie
Runner-Ups: A Million Ways to Die in the West, Amazing Spider-Man 2
The Nut Job is a movie my friend had me and two other 프렌즈 sit down to watch and laugh at, but wow, there was nothing to laugh at. It was just a middle of the road, bland kids movie. I can't even remember it other than I didn't care for it. It also made my friend look like a huge douchebag in front of everyone for making us sit through it. Do I have anything 더 많이 to say? Not really. The Nut Job is dull. I see no reason for anyone to watch it in a sea of better kids movies, even better ones that came out that year.
2014 Best Movie
Runner-Ups: Whiplash, Birdman, The Babadook
I think this was a no brainer for anyone. If 당신 are anyone who watches 영화 regularly, 당신 had to have seen John Wick. It's common practice that everyone loves John Wick. There is not a human being on this planet. If 당신 dislike John Wick, 당신 either haven't seen the movie 또는 당신 are a heretic. Okay, in all seriousness, John Wick is a very good film. It doesn't do anything incredibly new with the action movie genre, but it builds it's world so perfectly about a world of highly trained killers and executes it so well with amazing scenes of action and great camera work, not to mention Keanu Reeves is at his best ever in this film. A lot of people gave Keanu Reeves shit in his older films, but it's nice that he is finally getting the recognition he deserves for John Wick. And since the sequels won't be appearing on here, I'll just say John Wick 2 and 3 are equally great films that everyone should give a try. John Wick will be a film trilogy that sits in the league of other great trilogies, like Back to the Future, Toy Story, Evil Dead and the original 별, 스타 Wars. These are bold claims I'm making, but I refuse to take them back.
2015 Worst Movie.
Runner-Ups: The Gallows, 터미네이터 Genysis, Pixels
Oh my god, I forgot that this movie came out this year. In fact, I forgot this movie came out at all. Man, I was in high school when this film came out and thought it was the biggest piece of shit ever produced. And yeah, in the reality when Avengers was still huge and Marvel was getting bigger, it did suck. Fantastic Four (And I'm not using the number 4 in it, that's stupid) had no right to be has boring as it was. This film was a failure in every single regard. Every character was an absolute piece of shit, there were long scenes of nothing happening, the film was trying to be a kids film but had extremely violent imagery and it ended up appealing to no one. It's actually kind of impressive how much wrong was in this film. I'm impressed a movie this incompetent can come out in the modern age of Hollywood films, and yet here we are. Films can have a wide divide, films can even be hated 의해 the general public but a big budget film being this tone deaf and just a mess all around is rare these days. So, I'm amazed that Fantastic Four can be this bad, but it's still a piece of shit.
2015 Best Movie
Runner-Ups: Hateful Eight, The Revenant, Creed
I was always a 팬 of Mad Max when I first watched it in high school, the 초 one to be exact. I really liked the 영화 (Except Thunderdome). So when I heard that they were making a new one with the director behind the classic animated film Happy Feet, I was... skeptical. But then Fury Road came out and my mind was blown. The movie was a blast to watch, continuing the story of everyone's 가장 좋아하는 Australian anti-hero as he travels around, fighting viscious warlords in big trucks and causing as much chaos as possible. I really did enjoy the new characters Fury Road introduced like Immortan Joe and Furiosa, Furiosa especially. I was worried it would try to be a "Women can be just as strong as men" film and shove it down our throats, but no, it didn't need that. I mean Furiosa has a fucking mechanical arm. 당신 don't need to convince me any further. Fury Road is a film that appeals to my kind of dumb enjoyment. Giant wastelands with souped up cars, lots of 총 going off and a lot of violence. Everything I 사랑 in life.
2016 Worst Movie
Runner-Ups: Suicide Squad, Bad Santa 2, Sausage Party
People can blame 2016 for a lot of things, but this is what I hate it for. For subjecting the world to Norm of the North. A film that is so awkward and so pandering, and yet was able to get a theatrical release. It was meant for straight to DVD, but it managed to hit theaters alongside other great animated films that year. Norm of the North is a very cliche film. If you've seen any animated film 의해 Illumination, then 당신 get the idea of Norm of the North. Sure, 당신 miss out on the amazing Polar Dance, which I am so sure 당신 are dying to see, but trust me, it ain't worth it, famsquad. And for some reason, Norm of the North got two sequels. Thankfully, they were straight to DVD, so theaters weren't subjected to this. Those theater workers gotta deal with families crying because 디즈니 ruined Coco with a 겨울왕국 short film. The last thing they need is hearing Norm of the North coming to a theater.
2016 Best Movie
Runner-Ups: The Witch, Green Room, Kubo and the Two Strings
Sure, there were better 영화 that came out in 2016. I mean, The Witch was a far better horror movie than Don't Breathe. But Don't Breathe made me excited to watch a horror movie in years. After being so tired of bad horror movies, which was the majority, Don't Breathe was a breath of fresh air. No garbage jumpscares (For the most part), no bad CGI, no terrible writing. It was as real a horror movie as it could get. I never thought I would be scared 의해 a blind old man with a gun, but Don't Breathe manages to do it. It was a film that was enjoyable to watch and did make me a little uncomfortable, especially the final forty five 분 of the film. You'd think a movie about sneaking around the house would get boring, but no, it stays tense and always manages to keep 당신 on edge. It was also the first movie I bought on DVD AND Blu-ray just because I enjoyed it so much. Sure, it's not the best film of 2016 from a technical standpoint, but it's still my favorite.
2017 Worst Movie
Okay, I'm gonna stop with the runner ups now because 1. I'm tired of editing and my computer is REALLY tired of it what with the hard slow downs it's been doing, so please understand when I say fuck it. 2. I know exactly what the last three worst films are. I have no reason to think of anything else. So yeah, The Emoji Movie. What 더 많이 is there to say that hasn't been said 의해 literally everyone else. It's a dumb idea. It's a horrible idea, even. What was Sony thinking? We got this instead of the Popeye movie. What a shitty titty, I tell you. What a giant waste of resources and employees. I won't drag out what many have said before. Just know it gets shit for the right reasons. 당신 hate it, I hate it, everyone hates it. Movie on.
2017 Best Movie
So much great 영화 came out in 2017. Get Out, Shape of Water, Loving Vincent, Blade Runner 2079, Logan. It was really hard for me to pick one. But Baby Driver just managed to beat all of them. Baby Driver was a treat to both the eyes and the ears. The eyes because it had that classic Wright film style to it. And the ears because the whole movie was all about music. Seriously, if there is one scene 당신 had to watch from that movie, let it be the scene where Baby is running from criminals while they are playing the song Hocus Pocus 의해 Focus (Yes, really). Baby Driver manages to create a unique style for the crime drama that we (Or me, since my dad loved that stuff) have seen a dozen times and I am so glad that this film has gained tons of praise. The Oscars still continue to disregard it, but hey, winning the Oscars is not a sign of quality. And Baby Driver is proof that 당신 don't need some glorified chunk of fake gold to be a mark of quality.
2018 Worst Movie
I don't get it! I just don't get it! Everyone of my friends, everyone of my family members, they all talk about Ready Player One like it's an amazing film, and I look at it and I think "Wow, this is shit". I did an 기사 on why I hate it, so I won't linger on this too much (Shameless promotion). But Ready Player One is not a great film. If this film was made in the 90s, maybe it would fit in, but this was made in 2018. It's boring, it's insufferable, I don't find it engaging in the slightest, and it's nothing 더 많이 than a giant promotion for all sorts of things like Halo and Overwatch and Warhammer and shit. I don't care about any of this movie and especially me, a person who absolutely despises leet gamer culture with a passion. If 당신 like Ready Player One, that's perfectly fine, but if I never see this movie ever again, it will be too soon.
2018 Best Movie
On the polar opposite side of the spectrum, another movie I did an 기사 on, Into the Spider-Verse is a visual masterpiece. This is the ultimate Spider-Man film. Reimi trilogy, Amazing Spider-Man, Homecoming, everyone go home. Spider-Verse is the best Spider-Man movie. It did so much 더 많이 than just be a great animated film. It reminded me and many others why I 사랑 Spider-Man so much. It's a charming film but isn't too afraid to have 더 많이 serious moments. It's a film that is stylish as all hell too, looking like a moving comic book and having all that rap 음악 you'd expect in the urban setting of New York. And best of all, it redeemed Miles. Miles was always seen as being a rather dull character in the comics, but Spider-Verse made Miles an acceptable Spider-Man. Hell, Miles in Spider-verse is what I prefer than any of Peter Parker's portrayals. I honestly can't sing the praises of Spider-Verse enough, but I'm just preaching to the choir. How could Sony, after one 년 prior make The Emoji Movie, come out with the greatest animated film ever in my opinion. I don't know how, but I'm glad. All is forgiven. Please, go watch Spider-Verse if 당신 haven't. Even if 당신 aren't a big superhero fan, it's amazing in every way.
2019 Worst Movie
Okay, I am sure a lot of 당신 are tired of hearing people complain about Rise of Skywalker. And I understand, of course it would be exhausting to hear people complain. But... This movie is a mess in everyway. Yes, the prequeals were absolute bastardizations of 별, 스타 Wars, but at least they had decent ideas that were victims of poor executions. Rise of Skywalker was an absolute disaster. And this isn't because I don't want my precious franchise tainted with these new characters. I liked The Force Awakens. Yes, it was just A New Hope, but it was still good. But Rise of Skywalker was absolute trash. Characters like Finn are thrown in the trash and never taken out, the movie tries to appeal to new 팬 의해 having a bad romance between Rei and Kylo Ren, while trying its hardest to appeal to old 팬 with Palpatine and Chewbacca but fails to appeal to either one. The movie is tripping over the dominos that the other two films prior set up and just making a mess. This is not due to one side, like how everyone says it's all JJ Abrahms fault. I can't stand JJ, but he's not in total blame. The blame goes to the constant mess that was the behind the scenes meddling of JJ, 디즈니 executives, George Lucas and many more. And remember when I said the worst thing a film could do was make me sleep. Well guess what? I fell asleep in the theater watching Rise of Skywalker I was so bored. This was the first movie to make me fall asleep as an adult that works nightshift. Rise of Skywalker is not the most barebones film, not the most poorly acted, and not the cheapest, but for how much wrong it does and how much bad stuff happened in the background, it's obviously one of the worst. But hey.... We got the Mandalorian.
2019 Best Movie
Shoot, a Tarantino film finally makes the list. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is unlike the rest of Tarantino's films, where it isn't very violent 또는 action packed (Well, not until the last ten minutes, then it's pretty violent), but it is very dialogue heavy and has some of the best characterization I've seen in his films. Tarantino has a way of making even long drawn out scenes of dialogue interesting, and this film is no different. Normally, I don't give a shit about 유명인사 and just see them as characters in a film, but I really did enjoy the 연기 of both Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio. They felt like both people who were in the 연기 industry of the late 60s while also feeling like real friends. I loved the style of 60s Hollywood as well. Again, the movie is very dialogue heavy, so don't come into this expecting severed limbs 또는 people getting shot all over. Hell, there's barely any blood spilt until the last few minutes. But this is a Tarantino film in history, so this film is as historically accurate as his other film, Inglorious Bastards... I'll let 당신 think of the rest from there.
So there. I've been editing for three hours. Would've been less if the computer was faster. See 당신 later when I talk about games in either a 일 또는 a week, depending on how frustrated I get with this. Happy 2020, suckers.
2010 Worst Movie
Runner-Ups: A Nightmare on Elm 거리 Remake, Grown Ups, The Switch
Yeah, this movie came out in 2010. I was shocked too, but low and behold, here it is, in all it's awkward glory. Now I loved Avatar: The Last Airbender.

The movie dropped harder than my granddad down the stairs and died just the same, taking M. Night Shamalamabingbang's career down with it. If 당신 wanted a reason to hate yourself, give The Last Airbender a watch and you'll feel disgusted 의해 the end.

After Earth is an incompetent movie that is so bad that I can't help but laugh at it, but that's mostly due to both the overacting of Jaden Smith as well as my knowledge of his other things like his Twitter account and Neo Yokeo. After Earth is, sadly, aside from Jaden's acting, not a very memorable film. In fact, I remember nothing aside from the bad 연기 that had me gasping for air in laughter when I watched it with friends. Yes, I made my 프렌즈 suffer through this. I am a horrible friend, I am aware. But seriously, is there anything worse than a film that 당신 can't remember? Well, I guess falling asleep, but surely no film made me do that...... After Earth is a forgettable experience. If 당신 really want to laugh at Jaden, well, I'd prefer 당신 didn't, but his Twitter is always there. But he did make the theme song for Into the Spider-Verse, so cut him some slack.
2013 Best Movie
Runner-Ups: The World's End, The 늑대 of 벽 Street, The Conjuring
당신 know, it's hard to get good giant mecha in movies. Sure, there's The Iron Giant, but that's not a mecha. Now Pacific Rim, that's a mecha. I know del Toro made one other action movie aside from Pacific Rim and that was... Blade II. That was the best Blade movie, but that's not much of an achievement. But Pacific Rim is an absolute joy to watch. It manages to have the amazing creature designs that del Toro is known for while giving mecha 연인들 like myself something truly amazing. I have never seen mecha designs this creative since I watched Evangelion as a wee lad. Yes, really. I probably shouldn't have been watching Evangelion, but I did it anyway. The movie is an enjoyable action film, appealing to both people who like a good story and people who want a dumb action film. And it clearly worked since we got Pacific Rim: Uprising...... We don't talk about Pacific Rim: Uprising, people.
2014 Worst Movie
Runner-Ups: A Million Ways to Die in the West, Amazing Spider-Man 2
The Nut Job is a movie my friend had me and two other 프렌즈 sit down to watch and laugh at, but wow, there was nothing to laugh at. It was just a middle of the road, bland kids movie. I can't even remember it other than I didn't care for it. It also made my friend look like a huge douchebag in front of everyone for making us sit through it. Do I have anything 더 많이 to say? Not really. The Nut Job is dull. I see no reason for anyone to watch it in a sea of better kids movies, even better ones that came out that year.
2014 Best Movie
Runner-Ups: Whiplash, Birdman, The Babadook
I think this was a no brainer for anyone. If 당신 are anyone who watches 영화 regularly, 당신 had to have seen John Wick. It's common practice that everyone loves John Wick. There is not a human being on this planet. If 당신 dislike John Wick, 당신 either haven't seen the movie 또는 당신 are a heretic. Okay, in all seriousness, John Wick is a very good film. It doesn't do anything incredibly new with the action movie genre, but it builds it's world so perfectly about a world of highly trained killers and executes it so well with amazing scenes of action and great camera work, not to mention Keanu Reeves is at his best ever in this film. A lot of people gave Keanu Reeves shit in his older films, but it's nice that he is finally getting the recognition he deserves for John Wick. And since the sequels won't be appearing on here, I'll just say John Wick 2 and 3 are equally great films that everyone should give a try. John Wick will be a film trilogy that sits in the league of other great trilogies, like Back to the Future, Toy Story, Evil Dead and the original 별, 스타 Wars. These are bold claims I'm making, but I refuse to take them back.
2015 Worst Movie.
Runner-Ups: The Gallows, 터미네이터 Genysis, Pixels
Oh my god, I forgot that this movie came out this year. In fact, I forgot this movie came out at all. Man, I was in high school when this film came out and thought it was the biggest piece of shit ever produced. And yeah, in the reality when Avengers was still huge and Marvel was getting bigger, it did suck. Fantastic Four (And I'm not using the number 4 in it, that's stupid) had no right to be has boring as it was. This film was a failure in every single regard. Every character was an absolute piece of shit, there were long scenes of nothing happening, the film was trying to be a kids film but had extremely violent imagery and it ended up appealing to no one. It's actually kind of impressive how much wrong was in this film. I'm impressed a movie this incompetent can come out in the modern age of Hollywood films, and yet here we are. Films can have a wide divide, films can even be hated 의해 the general public but a big budget film being this tone deaf and just a mess all around is rare these days. So, I'm amazed that Fantastic Four can be this bad, but it's still a piece of shit.
2015 Best Movie
Runner-Ups: Hateful Eight, The Revenant, Creed
I was always a 팬 of Mad Max when I first watched it in high school, the 초 one to be exact. I really liked the 영화 (Except Thunderdome). So when I heard that they were making a new one with the director behind the classic animated film Happy Feet, I was... skeptical. But then Fury Road came out and my mind was blown. The movie was a blast to watch, continuing the story of everyone's 가장 좋아하는 Australian anti-hero as he travels around, fighting viscious warlords in big trucks and causing as much chaos as possible. I really did enjoy the new characters Fury Road introduced like Immortan Joe and Furiosa, Furiosa especially. I was worried it would try to be a "Women can be just as strong as men" film and shove it down our throats, but no, it didn't need that. I mean Furiosa has a fucking mechanical arm. 당신 don't need to convince me any further. Fury Road is a film that appeals to my kind of dumb enjoyment. Giant wastelands with souped up cars, lots of 총 going off and a lot of violence. Everything I 사랑 in life.
2016 Worst Movie
Runner-Ups: Suicide Squad, Bad Santa 2, Sausage Party
People can blame 2016 for a lot of things, but this is what I hate it for. For subjecting the world to Norm of the North. A film that is so awkward and so pandering, and yet was able to get a theatrical release. It was meant for straight to DVD, but it managed to hit theaters alongside other great animated films that year. Norm of the North is a very cliche film. If you've seen any animated film 의해 Illumination, then 당신 get the idea of Norm of the North. Sure, 당신 miss out on the amazing Polar Dance, which I am so sure 당신 are dying to see, but trust me, it ain't worth it, famsquad. And for some reason, Norm of the North got two sequels. Thankfully, they were straight to DVD, so theaters weren't subjected to this. Those theater workers gotta deal with families crying because 디즈니 ruined Coco with a 겨울왕국 short film. The last thing they need is hearing Norm of the North coming to a theater.
2016 Best Movie
Runner-Ups: The Witch, Green Room, Kubo and the Two Strings
Sure, there were better 영화 that came out in 2016. I mean, The Witch was a far better horror movie than Don't Breathe. But Don't Breathe made me excited to watch a horror movie in years. After being so tired of bad horror movies, which was the majority, Don't Breathe was a breath of fresh air. No garbage jumpscares (For the most part), no bad CGI, no terrible writing. It was as real a horror movie as it could get. I never thought I would be scared 의해 a blind old man with a gun, but Don't Breathe manages to do it. It was a film that was enjoyable to watch and did make me a little uncomfortable, especially the final forty five 분 of the film. You'd think a movie about sneaking around the house would get boring, but no, it stays tense and always manages to keep 당신 on edge. It was also the first movie I bought on DVD AND Blu-ray just because I enjoyed it so much. Sure, it's not the best film of 2016 from a technical standpoint, but it's still my favorite.
2017 Worst Movie
Okay, I'm gonna stop with the runner ups now because 1. I'm tired of editing and my computer is REALLY tired of it what with the hard slow downs it's been doing, so please understand when I say fuck it. 2. I know exactly what the last three worst films are. I have no reason to think of anything else. So yeah, The Emoji Movie. What 더 많이 is there to say that hasn't been said 의해 literally everyone else. It's a dumb idea. It's a horrible idea, even. What was Sony thinking? We got this instead of the Popeye movie. What a shitty titty, I tell you. What a giant waste of resources and employees. I won't drag out what many have said before. Just know it gets shit for the right reasons. 당신 hate it, I hate it, everyone hates it. Movie on.
2017 Best Movie
So much great 영화 came out in 2017. Get Out, Shape of Water, Loving Vincent, Blade Runner 2079, Logan. It was really hard for me to pick one. But Baby Driver just managed to beat all of them. Baby Driver was a treat to both the eyes and the ears. The eyes because it had that classic Wright film style to it. And the ears because the whole movie was all about music. Seriously, if there is one scene 당신 had to watch from that movie, let it be the scene where Baby is running from criminals while they are playing the song Hocus Pocus 의해 Focus (Yes, really). Baby Driver manages to create a unique style for the crime drama that we (Or me, since my dad loved that stuff) have seen a dozen times and I am so glad that this film has gained tons of praise. The Oscars still continue to disregard it, but hey, winning the Oscars is not a sign of quality. And Baby Driver is proof that 당신 don't need some glorified chunk of fake gold to be a mark of quality.
2018 Worst Movie
I don't get it! I just don't get it! Everyone of my friends, everyone of my family members, they all talk about Ready Player One like it's an amazing film, and I look at it and I think "Wow, this is shit". I did an 기사 on why I hate it, so I won't linger on this too much (Shameless promotion). But Ready Player One is not a great film. If this film was made in the 90s, maybe it would fit in, but this was made in 2018. It's boring, it's insufferable, I don't find it engaging in the slightest, and it's nothing 더 많이 than a giant promotion for all sorts of things like Halo and Overwatch and Warhammer and shit. I don't care about any of this movie and especially me, a person who absolutely despises leet gamer culture with a passion. If 당신 like Ready Player One, that's perfectly fine, but if I never see this movie ever again, it will be too soon.
2018 Best Movie
On the polar opposite side of the spectrum, another movie I did an 기사 on, Into the Spider-Verse is a visual masterpiece. This is the ultimate Spider-Man film. Reimi trilogy, Amazing Spider-Man, Homecoming, everyone go home. Spider-Verse is the best Spider-Man movie. It did so much 더 많이 than just be a great animated film. It reminded me and many others why I 사랑 Spider-Man so much. It's a charming film but isn't too afraid to have 더 많이 serious moments. It's a film that is stylish as all hell too, looking like a moving comic book and having all that rap 음악 you'd expect in the urban setting of New York. And best of all, it redeemed Miles. Miles was always seen as being a rather dull character in the comics, but Spider-Verse made Miles an acceptable Spider-Man. Hell, Miles in Spider-verse is what I prefer than any of Peter Parker's portrayals. I honestly can't sing the praises of Spider-Verse enough, but I'm just preaching to the choir. How could Sony, after one 년 prior make The Emoji Movie, come out with the greatest animated film ever in my opinion. I don't know how, but I'm glad. All is forgiven. Please, go watch Spider-Verse if 당신 haven't. Even if 당신 aren't a big superhero fan, it's amazing in every way.
2019 Worst Movie
Okay, I am sure a lot of 당신 are tired of hearing people complain about Rise of Skywalker. And I understand, of course it would be exhausting to hear people complain. But... This movie is a mess in everyway. Yes, the prequeals were absolute bastardizations of 별, 스타 Wars, but at least they had decent ideas that were victims of poor executions. Rise of Skywalker was an absolute disaster. And this isn't because I don't want my precious franchise tainted with these new characters. I liked The Force Awakens. Yes, it was just A New Hope, but it was still good. But Rise of Skywalker was absolute trash. Characters like Finn are thrown in the trash and never taken out, the movie tries to appeal to new 팬 의해 having a bad romance between Rei and Kylo Ren, while trying its hardest to appeal to old 팬 with Palpatine and Chewbacca but fails to appeal to either one. The movie is tripping over the dominos that the other two films prior set up and just making a mess. This is not due to one side, like how everyone says it's all JJ Abrahms fault. I can't stand JJ, but he's not in total blame. The blame goes to the constant mess that was the behind the scenes meddling of JJ, 디즈니 executives, George Lucas and many more. And remember when I said the worst thing a film could do was make me sleep. Well guess what? I fell asleep in the theater watching Rise of Skywalker I was so bored. This was the first movie to make me fall asleep as an adult that works nightshift. Rise of Skywalker is not the most barebones film, not the most poorly acted, and not the cheapest, but for how much wrong it does and how much bad stuff happened in the background, it's obviously one of the worst. But hey.... We got the Mandalorian.
2019 Best Movie
Shoot, a Tarantino film finally makes the list. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is unlike the rest of Tarantino's films, where it isn't very violent 또는 action packed (Well, not until the last ten minutes, then it's pretty violent), but it is very dialogue heavy and has some of the best characterization I've seen in his films. Tarantino has a way of making even long drawn out scenes of dialogue interesting, and this film is no different. Normally, I don't give a shit about 유명인사 and just see them as characters in a film, but I really did enjoy the 연기 of both Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio. They felt like both people who were in the 연기 industry of the late 60s while also feeling like real friends. I loved the style of 60s Hollywood as well. Again, the movie is very dialogue heavy, so don't come into this expecting severed limbs 또는 people getting shot all over. Hell, there's barely any blood spilt until the last few minutes. But this is a Tarantino film in history, so this film is as historically accurate as his other film, Inglorious Bastards... I'll let 당신 think of the rest from there.
So there. I've been editing for three hours. Would've been less if the computer was faster. See 당신 later when I talk about games in either a 일 또는 a week, depending on how frustrated I get with this. Happy 2020, suckers.
