movies of 2022
We're still here!
BEST
1. Everything Everywhere All At Once (I had no prior knowledge going into this and it blew me away)
2. Dr Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
3. Thor: Love and Thunder
4. Bullet Train
Honourable mentions:
5. The Batman
6. The Gray Man
7. Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery
WORST
1. The Contractor (I don't know how but they made it sooo boring -- even with Chris Pine)
2. Spiderhead
3. Death on the Nile
MOST ANTICIPATED
1. The Batman
2. Thor: Love and Thunder
3. Dr Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
4. Death on the Nile
5. The 355
MOST DISAPPOINTING
1. The 355 (with so many great actors, how was it so bad?)
2. Death on the Nile (I knew the story already, so I wasn't expecting to be surprised, but I just don't think I like Kenneth Branagh's stuff)
3. Interceptor (OK I wasn't expecting greatness, and I know I'm biased since I like Matthew Reilly, but this turned out kinda meh and cliched)
MOST SURPRISING
1. Everything Everywhere All at Once
2. Bullet Train (mainly because it wasn't on my radar)
3. The Gray Man (as above)
MOST OVERRATED
1. The Guardians of the Galaxy: Holiday Special (in a way I wasn't counting this as a proper movie; but the IMDB rating is way off)
2. The Northman (I mean it's just Viking Hamlet, right? Even the main character's name is an anagram)
WANT TO SEE IN 2023
1. Cocaine Bear (just kidding)
I don't think there's much I am that keen on in 2023. Maybe I'll watch the Marvel stuff (OK I do want to see Deadpool 3), maybe the Expendables 4 (with very low expectations), maybe the Nun 2, Dune 2, or Star Trek 4.
