On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate the movies released this year so far?
1 being awful, 10 being amazing.
I'm giving it a 6/10. Some decent stuff, but mostly forgettable.

5/10
share5/10
sharei'd say 6.
but generally most of the prestige pictures come in the last 1/3 of the year, so it's not completely fair to judge against prior years.
my top 10 of the year is:
climax
apollo 11
avengers endgame
tigers are not afraid
once upon a time in hollywood
holiday
misommar
rolling thunder review
under the silver lake
dragged across concrete
i like all those films a lot, love some of them. but if i compare that to my 18/17/16 favourites, i think that's a weaker list for sure.
but we're only a bit over the 2/3s mark, of course.

That's how I felt last year. Very few great films came out before November. That's why I put "so far" in the topic because my 6 might move up higher in the last month. share
3/10
shareMost average around 5 based purely on the fact that most stuff isn't too good/memorable, but obviously not horrible either.
I'd say TV/Netflix is probably a bit more in demand now than the "movie scene" -- or at least it seems like it's getting to be that way
Maybe 2019 just isn't the year for that many really great movies, but more decent/so-so ones overall.
To me, and this may be a stupid observation on my part, I think the rise of TV is due to the many studies that have been done detailing our increasingly short attention spans. Smart phones have been in our lives for a few years and people have a habit of checking it every few seconds. Less people want to see a full 2 hour movie. Now they want to see something shorter so they could go on their phones in between episodes, assuming they also didn't do it during the episode.
