24 days agoThese ones I really enjoyed in the last few years:
- The Whale (whole room was crying at the end)
- The Quiet Girl (surprise Irish movie that made my emotions come out)
- Spy x Family - The Movie (great humour)
- Civil War (shocking images, the mood change was brutal)
- The Boy and the Heron (my first Miyazaki experience, what a wild ride)
- Wonka (I’m not into musicals, but this was awesome as fuck)
- Inside Out 2 (great orchestral soundtrack, well-written and relatable)
- No Hard Feelings (worst trailer of all time, but the movie was very wholesome and funny)
- Furiosa (I’ve watched that in IMAX with Dolby Atmos. FUCKING awesome.)
- Robot Dreams (Cute animation + Twin Towers, nice combo)
- Encanto (Disney + great plot + emotions)
- To Catch a Killer / Catch the Killer (great crime movie!)
- Barbie (they criticize Mattel and it’s really empowering for women, I liked it)
- The Batman (dark, gritty, brutal - that’s how it’s supposed to be)
- Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (I can’t even describe how awesome this is)
- Dungeons & Dragons (I never played DnD, but this was well-written, creative and entertaining)
- The Super Mario Bros. movie (great humour and Jack Black does an awesome singing performance)
These movies are solid. Not great, but still very enjoyable:
- The Fall Guy (cool stunts!)
- Challengers (a bit weird, but I liked the message at the end)
- Fly Me to the Moon (solid acting, interesting premise, not every joke works)
- The Bikeriders (a movie about a biker gang. Cool.)
- Dune Part I + II (great SciFi flicks, but veeery long)
- The Teachers Lounge (we produce one good movie per year here in Germany. This is one.)
- The Holdovers (good acting, but the plot was stolen from someone else, sooo…)
- Migration (very well written for a childrens movie)
- Next Goal Wins (funny soccer movie)
- The Creator (omg, those visuals!)
- A Haunting in Venice (good mystery crime movie, but don’t expect to be able to solve the riddle by yourself)
- M3GAN (another murder puppy movie, but pretty modern)
And these movies are pretty bad or just disappointing:
- Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (Family Drama: The Movie)
- Problemista (I wanted to like it, but it’s just weird, unfunny and incoherent)
- Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (the disappointing fourth entry of a great trilogy)
- Miller’s Girl (this movie is just an excuse to put Jenna Ortega in tight outfits)
- Demon Slayer: Hashira Training movie (half of the movie is just a rerun of the last episodes, fuck you)
- Madame Web (bad writing, bad CGI, bad everything)
- The Beekeeper (Jason Statham kills everyone, but it was just boring)
- Wish (all bad things about past Disney movies combined into a soulless new one)
- Killers of the Flower Moon (way too long, laziest fucking ending I’ve ever seen)
- The Equalizer 3 (Walking around and nothing happens - The Movie)
- Falling for Figaro (an opera movie with the most cliche romance plot ever, total garbage)
- The Little Mermaid (all underwater scenes are dark as fuck, what is this?)
- 65 (Jurassic Park with no budget and Adam Driver)
…and then there’s also “The Zone of Interest”. I wouldn’t say I enjoyed it, but it’s definitely an experience. You could’ve heard a hairpin drop at the cinema and it was packed with people. No one bought popcorn. I wish every fascist here in Germany would be forced to watch that one and think about their stupid beliefs.
I wasn’t lying when I said that I go to the cinema almost every week! :D Tomorrow I’ll watch the new Deadpool movie.
