Here I will review all the movies I’ve watched in theaters this year. This is the grading scale I will use
Half rack of ribs without sides: Terrible movie.
Half rack of ribs with sides: Okay movie.
Full rack of ribs without sides: Good movie.
Full rack of ribs with sides: Great movie.
So it’s kind of like using stars to rate a film, except it’s using ribs instead.
The Lego Batman Movie: This movie was funny, entertaining, and was probably the only DC movie this year that did Batman correctly.
Get Out: Excellent movie. It wasn’t scary, but it had a lot of implications and a lot of social commentary without being too SJW in tone or nature.
Logan: Quite possibly the best X-men movie because of how unique it was. Even though it was dark and depressing, I liked it overall because I cared about the character so much. Hugh Jackman will always be Wolverine in my book.
Beauty and the Beast: An unnecessary remake, but thoroughly entertaining nevertheless.
Power Rangers: I was a tad bit disappointed with this movie, because they were only in their suits for really the last 30 minutes of the film. It was just okay, and I hope the sequel does a better job. There was good character development at least.
The Boss Baby: terrible garbage.
Gifted: A heartwarming family film about a gifted daughter and a caring father.
The Fate of the Furious: Not good on a critical level, but entertaining enough to make me loud. I hope they go on the moon in the new movie.
Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 2: This movie was okay. I was just hoping for a little bit more. It wasn’t as good as the first one, and begged the question whether a sequel was necessary.
Wonder Woman: Probably the best DC movie made in the “DCEU”. Even though the third act was kind of dumb and a CGI-fest, the rest of the movie made up for it.
It Comes at Night: terrible. didn’t even watch the entire movie.
Cars 3: Decent, but let’s be real – they only made this to sell toys.
Baby Driver: Thoroughly entertaining in each and every aspect of the word. I definitely recommend.
Spider-Man: Homecoming: I know a lot of people liked this movie, but it was just meh for me. Maybe I’m just tired of Spiderman in general.
War for the Planet of the Apes: Good ending to a trilogy, but I still liked Rise of the Planet of the Apes the best in this series.
Dunkirk: Visually stunning, but I was hoping for a little bit more of a Nolan movie.
Ingrid Goes West: I fell in love with the character and enjoyed this movie, despite its bleak undertones.
It: So overrated.
Flatliners: Pretty terrible stuff, even though I really like Ellen Paige and Jack Bauer.
The Foreigner: Good action scenes with Jackie Chan, but the political subplot I didn’t really care for and made the movie drag on.
Only the Brave: Excellent movie about firefighters that ironically enough, start fires.
Jigsaw: It’s not an Oscar contender by any means, but I was thoroughly enjoyed by the 8th movie in this franchise.
Thor: Ragnarok: I definitely enjoyed this movie, as I thought it was nicely entertaining and broke new ground in terms of a Marvel story.
Murder on the Orient Express: It was okay. The acting was good, but it was missing something that I can’t exactly pinpoint.
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri: Pretty funny and yet dark and depressing at the same time. Ending disappointed me.
Justice League: Garbage. I hope DC get its act together and start developing its characters more. I understand that this movie tried to make things more light-hearted after Batman V. Superman, but if you’re going to let Zach Synder control things, you might as well let him finish carrying out his vision.
Wonder: A heart-warming family film I would recommend to anyone. Especially ugly people.
CoCo: Definitely a great Pixar movie, and I hope it shatters box office records.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi: Being that I’m not obsessed with Star Wars as much as others, I really enjoyed this film. The casino subplot was meh, but everything else I felt was done well. I feel like a lot of people went into this movie expecting certain things to happen (after 2 years of analyzing Rey’s backstory or whatever), and those nerds end up being disappointed when their predictions were all wrong. I don’t really care for the hype, but I watched it to say it was decent, and certainly better than the prequels.
