It's difficult to rank them all now. I will say that all four Avengers films, the three Steve Rogers Captain America films, the three Guardians of the Galaxy films and the three Spider-Man films would all be in my top 20 so they've done a good job with those.
I don't think Captain America: Brave New World is as bad as a lot of people are making it out to be but it's in the lower half of my ranking along with The Eternals. I also have Shang-Chi and Black Panther in my top 20. I absolutely agree that Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is at the bottom. It's a well acted and directed bore-fest and killing off T'Challa is probably one of the worst decisions Marvel Studios have made for this cinematic universe. They absolutely should have waited and recast.
Just saw it and I completely disagree, this wasn’t suspenseful at all and it’s because (unlike Longlegs) it throws out all of the established conventions of a suspense film.
Some would praise the film for that and being different but it ultimately just robs the film of atmosphere and suspense and makes the film a slog to get through.
I was bored of Kelly-Anne by the end of the film which is not something you want from your protagonist.
Just seen it myself and it completely fails as a one-location suspense thriller and it's mostly really boring apart from the occasional bit of daftness from Marky Mark.
3/10
Yeah the film is just about okay. It’s well directed and atmospheric but it’s just not particularly entertaining and the screenplay feels very underbaked.
It was only just okay I thought, as you said you don’t care about Bianca and that is a huge problem when her and The Jackal have about the same amount of screen time.
The show also just feels like it was written as a limited series but they rewrote the finale to set up a second season instead. I might watch season 2 but I didn’t think the finale set up much of anything as a hook to get me to watch it.
I don’t know why people are shocked by this, the animation is fantastic and high quality animation isn’t cheap. Across the Spider-Verse had a budget of $150 million and that’s a 140 minute film whereas this is a series that has a total running time exceeding 12 hours.
It’s a shame for that money though they couldn’t get some good writing for season 2 instead of the mess we got.
I’m fan of Eggers’ films and even I thought this is getting praised too much.
My main problem with the film is that the title villain becomes increasingly less interesting with each appearance to the point where I was bored of him. That’s a huge mistake in my opinion and kind of ruins the film for me.
I thought the last two Sonic films, Detective Pikachu and Gran Turismo were all entertaining but yeah this is definitely the best video game film yet.
Way better than the Mario film from last year which just didn’t have the laughs at all and was purely aimed at kids.
Probably best she wasn’t in it, the Robotniks and Shadow were the stars of this one.
Maybe she’ll turn up in Sonic 4
Agreed, I thankfully saw this film for free and I only went because it was already confirmed to flop and the SSU was being scrapped.
I don't know why Sony thought these films were a good idea, I really hope this film being panned and flopping doesn't deter Marvel Studios from using Kraven as a villain in a future Spider-Man movie because he truly is one of the best supervillains that Stan Lee and Steve Ditko ever created.
It's such a dull, soulless and ultimately pointless film. I felt nothing whilst watching it so yeah it is a complete rush job to retain the rights. It also rehashes iconic moments from The Two Towers so you can tell it was a struggle to come up with anything original.
Agreed, saw it last night for a laugh as it’s the last film in the SSU apparently.
It’s really bad! Honestly worth watching just to see how bad a $100 million + budgeted Sony film can be in 2024. Obviously the screenplay is dreadful but the big surprise is how flat the directing is and how choppy the editing is.
The editor seemed to use the worst takes as well, some of the line delivery, particularly from Ariana DeBose was hilariously bad! The directing is also lifeless but when your script is this bad even Spielberg couldn’t bring this crap to life.
Also far too many characters, Kraven is off screen for far too long at times and the pacing is so sluggish with endless exposition.
So yes, it really is as bad if not worse than Madame Web haha.
I walked out after about 45 minutes, thankfully a friend of mine works in the cinema so I saw this for free but it truly is exactly what you said. Also really unfunny as well. Only just read now that it's written by Chris Morgan who also wrote 7 of the 11 Fast & Furious films.
Don't get me wrong the Fast films can be fun trash thanks to the ridiculous action sequences but Red One was just actual trash.
Critics said the same for Beetlejuice 2 and I thought it was a weak sequel.
Only 3 legacy sequels have been made that are better than the original and they are Mad Max: Fury Road, Blade Runner: 2049 and Top Gun: Maverick.
I don’t expect Gladiator 2 to be as good or even better than the first but I hope it’s a much better legacy sequel than Beetlejuice 2.
You’re not alone. How this is certified fresh on rotten tomatoes I have no idea, it’s such a soulless and boring film that goes knowhere interesting
Certified cash-grab more like.
The first film is bad bad
This sequel is fun bad.
There are far better modern slasher films out there such as X, Ready or Not, Thanksgiving and the Terrifier films but you can have a good enough time with Blood and Honey 2 I suppose.
It is absolutely not and it's one of the worst comic book movie reboots ever made along with Hellboy (2019) and Fantastic Four (2015)
This should have been a solid, low budget horror film like an Evil Dead film but with Hellboy but instead it's just a boring mess of a film from a mediocre director and a poor script. It isn't worth your time or money.
I really hope this is the case, I really don't want his Venom in the MCU.
I must admit I do quite like the lore and I think it’s worked out well so far for this franchise as Sienna has become one of the most likeable final girls in slasher history after only two films.
I could watch many more Terrifier films if they keep Sienna battling Art and adding some new things to the lore each time, as long as the films don’t get bogged down in it with endless exposition then I’m cool with it.
Just seen it and I’d say it’s the best one yet. Less lore and more gore, tighter pacing and the Christmas setting juxtaposes nicely with the horrific things happening on screen.
David Howard Thornton is once again fantastic as Art the Clown and Lauren LaVera‘s Sienna is still a great final girl to root for.
Overall if you enjoyed the first two you’ll surely enjoy this one.
