2018 was a seriously shit year for movies.
There was no Bond so it can't have been that bad.
To be serious, can you even make a top 10 or was it that bad? I might check 2017 and see if that was a better year.

@Nepia fark, I couldnt make a 10 cos I cant recall what I have seen...guess I could scan back through this thread.
Yeah, Nah!
Of your top 9...
A Quiet Place
Spider-man: Into the Spider-verse
Avengers Infinity War
They Shall Not Grow Old
Game NightDeadpool 2 ~~Ralph Wrecks the Internet I,Tonya~~ Crossed ones I havent seen, also never seen the fish one...happily chuck Deadpool, Quiet place and Avengers in my probably top 9 for the year though. BUt then I think I have watched and enjoyed more TV shows this year than movies. -

Yeah, that's why I based it on in the cinema because Event has a record of every film I've seen bar 'They Shall Not Grow Old' which I saw at Palace Cinemas.
I'd have no idea of the TV shows I've watched this year though.

@Nepia you do realise your top 10 is only 9?

Yep - I mention that in an edit to the just missed out section.

In terms of what I saw at the movies I'd have to put Solo....and nothing else because I didn't see anything else.

The Old Man and the Gun
Robert Redford, Sissy Spacek & Casey Affleck.
Redford is pretty cool and suave in the role as Forrest Tucker (based on a true story) who is a 70 something bank robber, who just loves to rob banks, sometimes on his own, sometimes as part of 'The Over the Hill Gang'
3.5 prison breaks out of 5 bank robberies.

Titanic.
It was on TV last night so sat down and watched it. It's still a masterpiece of a movie, without a doubt, although like all epics, I think at least 30-45 mins of it could have been cut as it was pretty much so not required. And Jack could have said Rose' name at least 100 times less.
However, as a chilled way to spend an evening with the wife, it's pretty good.
4 predictable endings out of 5 hearts going on

Downsizing.
Great idea that could have been really good but was absolutely fucking shit. Fuck you Maaaat Daaaamon.

Been travelling NZ the last couple of weeks but managed to see some movie on the plane:
Mile 22
I like that it wasn't just a "YEEHAW MURICA!" ending on this one - very much in keeping with what I imagine the world of espionage to be like i.e. nobody really fucking wins in the big picture. Plenty of pew-pew and splosions and Ronda Rousey being mannish, while the very tasty Lauren Cohan was the lead female. Wahlberg's character is angry a lot, but has an admirable lack of fucks to give. The Asian guy Asian-guyed the fuck out of it, and the Russians got involved up to their revenging ball hairs.
4 fictional Asian nations out of 5 shouty Wahlbergs.

Ghost In The Shell
I thought this was a pretty good homage to the anime movie of 1995, tho of course the storylines diverge in significant ways.
Parts of the visual and score are pure manga/anime mashups, and overall I thought it was really well done.
4 skin tight Johansson suits out of 5 ghost hacks.

Anyone seen the Bird Box? Didn't love it but it was the first movie in I don't know how long that gave me a nightmare that same night.
Obviously being set up for a Netflix series?
I really enjoyed it. Lots of 'edge of your seat' moment.

I hear ya and I didn't hate it, I'm just not a fan of those types of movies. True-love is the one that gets into them
-
yeah I watched it, was decent, rushed ending though.
@Hooroo Dont watch the Haunting of Hill House on Netflix then bro, that'll def have you up at night
