Avengers: Endgame is one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

I hated it.

Alita was a stunning movie and one of my favorites of the year. It def deserves a VFX nom.

Controversial but I think Lion King deserves one too. Whether realism was a good choice or not I do think the movie looks good. They set out to make a hyperrealism remake of the lion king and they succeeded, it was very realistic. That doesn’t mean it was effective, though.

TROS looked like garbage.

Everyone says the deaging in The Irishman was distracting but I had no idea how much of a difference there was until I saw a side by side with the unaltered footage. I think it looked really good minus the one flashback to De Niro during the war.

You can de-age a face but they still walk like 80-year-old men.

I only slightly noticed that in the scene where Frank beats up the grocer.

They forgot properly shop their eyelids back in. They all have the droopy eyelids of old men that we know that these guys actually didn't have when they were young. How they got that VFX nom I will never know.

I really enjoyed Alita and considering it was mostly CGI , that shit had some amazing fight sequences.

the final battle in endgame looked like a grey cgi mess

Detective Pikachu was dark as shit. So was Avengers: Endgame. It’s very annoying.

the darkness for pikachu was especially distracting in the theater
