That's hilarious! You quite literally featured my absolute favourite film (Blade Runner 2049) and my absolutely most despised (The Dark Tower) on the same list. Hey, man... like you said; it's art, art's subjective, and NO one's opinion is greater than anyone else's. Love your channel!
Bladerunner i really didnt get. And i felt a little... i dont know “Empty” when it ended. BUT! Bladerunner 2049 i love. Like so much. One of my all time favorite movies. And im sorry for u that u didnt find that much enjoyment in it.😔
I absolutely loved Blade Runner 2049. Aside from the beautiful cinematography, the runtime felt like an epic to me and the characters were interesting to me as well. I also saw that it expanded the world of the original, which is still a great movie and added new ideas on the subject matter it explored. I understand that it might not be for you though because it takes a while to tell its story and is very long.
Realistically, we'll probably never get a good Chucky movie again. Don Mancini even stated the point of Cult of Chucky was to be able to do all sorts of different adventures with individual Chuckys. That concept just turns me off entirely. He's even talked about doing a crossover called Child's Play on Elm Street.
DankBloop I agree but I sort of liked it also, I just wanted more actual scary ass leatherface and I get it's supposed to lead up to him becoming leatherface but c'mon on we all walk into a TCM based movie for Leatherface!!!! Not some normal guy who gets shot in the face and turns into leatherface. It took away that weird vibed villain and makes you be look " oh so he used to be normal just a crazy person " and the chainsaw kills in it were weak af. But I liked the suspense of the movie. Just didn't hit home with what I went into it for.
Hey Cody man, just got into your channel a month ago and I gotta say, i like how your list stands out to most people's. You give you're honest opinion and that's what's awesome with your channel. ✊
I RESPECT that your list is not bs and represents how you truly feel. You put big name movies such as Blade Runner 2049, Dunkirk, Last Jedi, Justice League, Guardians 2, to name a few on your worst list because you truly didn't like them and felt like they were overrated. Like you mentioned these movies are on a lot of people's best of the year lists. I feel like some people don't have the balls to put movies that are beloved on their worst list because they are afraid of the backlash. Lastly, I agree that Cult of Chucky was one of biggest piles of shit this year!
Controversial list but I pretty much agree Honorable Mention: Spider-Man: Homecoming The Dark Tower The Circle Raw Blade Runner 2049 10. The Mummy 9. Star Wars: Last Jedi 8. Alien: Covenant 7. Batman and Harley Quinn 6. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 5. It Comes at Night 4. Dunkirk 3. Cult of Chucky 2. Justice League 1. Jeepers Creepers 3
For the record, Alien:Covenant begins with David's scene where Weyland is still young, a scene way before Prometheus and along those lines, thematically. That doesn't change the fact that the movie was shit but just wanted to clarify that. Anyway, I have to say you made a fantastic list here, unlike anywhere else, and I totally agree with all the points you brought up. Great video, Cody! I look forward to you breaking the big numbers in 2018.:)
Finally, someone else who wasn’t head over heels for Dunkirk. I had heard nothing but praise for that movie so I went out and bought imax tickets for me and my girl and like halfway through I was struggling to stay awake. It was just like one long nonstop action sequence that I felt no emotion or attachment towards, but hey to each their own. Nice list btw. The only ones I’d disagree with would be Bladerunner 2049 and GotG 2 cuz I actually loved both those movies.
I’m all about Blade Runner 2049 favorite from last year sorry u don’t feel the same way but maybe you’ll feel something in few more watches like u did with the original
Justice League was a disappointment and a terrible film. I hated it. E-Rod busted it with two friends, Linkara and Allison Pregler from Movie Nights. Great video.George Miller was going to do a JL film a while ago. I bet if we got that movie it would have been awesome. I hated the Dark Tower. I think it should be made into a HBO series instead of that garbage. E-Rod busted the Mummy film too. The third Brendan Fraiser Mummy film is better thn that movie and Dragon's Emperor is a bad movie too. The problem with Alien Covenant is deleted scenes were put on RUclips to connect the dots to Prometheus and do character development that they did not want to do in the actual movie. I hated that movie.
Loved the video, I agree about Alien covenant. Anyone who knows me, knows I'm a huge Alien fan. The focus on David was the film's downfall. It should have been focused on the Xenomorphs. Loved the addition of the Neomorph though.
I agree 100% with Cult of Chucky, it's the only movie I actually did some research on to get more info about. I do disagree with Dunkirk though. To be fair I never watched a single trailer for it and the only thing I knew from it was that it was directed by Christopher Nolan.
I liked Bladerunner 2049. I wish Ryan Gosling played Indiana Jones son in Crystal Skull instead of Shia. That would have made the 4th IIndy bearable. I loved Dunkirk. I thought it was great. I had problems with Last Jedi too but I did not hate it. I do hate Rose though. I wish she was never put into the movie.
I totally agree on Dunkirk. It's not a BAD movie..... But it didn't do what I know Nolan is capable of. It was well made, and maybe I went in expecting something totally different, but when it was over I just didn't feel much of anything. So I agree with what you said 100%.
I completely agree with you on Dunkirk. I saw it in theater's and it bored me, and now we are watching it in my history class and a lot of my classmates feel the same way
As bad as cult of Chucky & JL were I can't say they were disappointments. I personally went in not expecting much after all the trash sequels 2 child's play trilogy & all dc movies after dark knight trilogy. But I guess if I had 2 choose which was a bigger disappointment it's justice league because 1. It's justice league & because wonder women actually was an improvement that actually gave me hope dceu was heading in rt direction but all hope was lost imo now although I will watch their next films just cuz I'm a fan I don't expect nothing spectacular cuz even when trailers look good movies turn out to be nowhere near expectations
Cody - I watched your clip about your most anticipated movies of 2018 and I made some comments praising you large about a couple of things, specifically about your comments on Shane Black and the upcoming Halloween reboot. But this time I'm afraid I must call you out on the Blade Runner stuff. Okay, so I saw the original Blade Runner in the theaters when it was released (yes, I am a fairly old bastard at this point.) I can tell you that, when that film first came out, the hype that people give it now was real. Back in the day, nobody of my age had ever seen anything like that or seen such amazing visuals, cinematography, or dark dystopian world building. Now, more than 30 years later of course, people that only now see Blade Runner aren't that impressed with it because they film industry has spent decades copying it's aesthetic or cannibalizing its innovations - so younger audiences have seen what Blade Runner did in dozens of films. Consequently the wow factor for modern audiences just isn't there. It's like when people see Halloween for the first time nowadays - they all say it isn't scary. But at the time, before there was a million fucking knockoffs of it, it was completely scary. As for the new Blade Runner film, I am one of those people that thought it was the best film of the year. I agree that it could've been trimmed a bit - the Jared Leto stuff for example probably could have been mostly omitted - but that doesn't alter the fact that I spent half the film with my jaw open completely engrossed. That film is what science fiction should be. I felt the exact same way watching it that I did when I saw the original in the early 80's. Frankly I'm amazed you weren't blown away. No accounting for taste though. As for Star Wars, I'm with you on many of your criticisms for that one - same with your take on Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Also, it was inevitable Justice League was going to suck - you could see from the preview it was weak. Anyway, thanks for the clip.
+Mitchell Hodgemeyer I can appreciate all of that it's really just the story that didn't do much for me upon first watch. Never took anything away from the technical achievements of 2049 though.
Got to give you major Kudos, we all have our own opinions and that is what give us our own individual tastes. I agree with you on Dunkirk by the way, I love war movies by the way and while Dunkirk does deserve all the praise it gets but it was a one watch for me. Alien Covenant was terrible, way too many plot problems for me. I did like Cult of Chucky, but again that was me. My most disappointing movie of the year (again for me) was Get Out. I do see the merits but like Dunkirk it just fell flat on me another one watch. Good Job Cody, it is refreshing to see honest opinions popular or not.
Justice League was actually my worst movie of the year. I really wanted this to be a good movie, I love Affleck as Batman, but man, it was rough to get through. What a nightmare.
Tom Cruise was one reason the movie failed. He was upset because the movie focused on the Mummy, and he threw a bitch fit until they made it more in his favor. Could have been amazing, but it didn't deliver
10. Last Jedi 9. Valerian 8. Killing Gunther 7. Tom Cruise: Mummy 6. Kings man: Golden Circle 5. Batman and Harley Quinn 4. Alien Covenant 3. Circle 2. Justice League 1. Guardians of the Galaxy volume 2
I enjoy your lists. Really surprised you've only seen two sub-titled(foreign) films. Missing so much. Have a go with Les Diaboliques, Les Yeux sans Visage or Rouge(rare Chinese film) or A Tale of Two Sisters. Worth the effort.
from what I understand. Cruise is the reason this film tanked. because he got involved in all aspects of the film, took over SL and directing at times.
Now on the Marvel topic. I’m a huge fan. I love the comics and the movies. However I personally am tired of the light hearted approach. I like those bleak films a lot more haha
I know I personally have to be in the right mind frame to watch a movie with subtitles, for me when I watched it I wasn’t there. So I definitely agree with that one.
Let's see if we agree. 10. Raw - Not seen it, and not interested at all. 9. Dark Tower - Didn't hate it either, but it's not great. It needed to be longer. 8. The Mummy - Again not as bad as people said. But not great either. 7. Bladerunner 2049 - Not a fan of the original much either, and this is overly long, but not bad. Great visuals. 6. Dunkirk - Same as Bladeunner 2049, overly long, boring. Great visuals again. 5. The Last Jedi - It's AWESOME, but yes has tonnes wrong with it. Yes lose the Rose/Finn bit. I still love Star Wars. Would be in my top 10. 4. Alien Covenant - It's improved with me since I've watched it a few times. On first viewing I hated it. I like Prometheus though. 3. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 - I thought this was better than the first. Although the first 10 mins is annoying for some reason. 2. Justice League - It's bad. Tried to watch it again. It's not good. So bored with it the cinema. CGI is awful. 1. Cult of Chucky - Not seen it and not a fan of Chucky movies.
In real life Dunkirk was a very important part of WW II, one of Hitler's biggest mistakes. It was a very intense situation for the Brits because they could have lost 325,000 men. The movie didn't pass thee intensity test for me. It came off as just another war story.
o ya of course nvm the 42% box office drop the 49% audience score, the 90% drop in china and it being taken from theaters after it's opening week and it being beaten by a local Chinese comedy. when in doubt Hollywood will always find away to milk a dead franchise.
Leon Kira That's a better than normal box office drop and those audience scores are the most unreliable inaccurate metrics you could possibly use. I didn't love the movie either but those are terrible arguments.
Cody Leach maybe those metrics are Not reliable maybe they're not the one thing that is unreliable search up last jedi on RUclips and see how many people are angry or flat out thought this movie was bad. Trust me I get my statistics and facts from many sources
Cody Leach Really I think the insane Box office drop speaks for itself the fact that the last jedi is breaking a record for the largest Box office drop set a lot and that's with people going back to see the movie sometimes 2 3 even 4 times and there's still a large drop, Consider this Star Wars got beaten out by insidious 4
Most disappointing... The Dark Tower, Alibi.com, Jigsaw, Kingsman The Golden Circle. Surprisingly, I had the opposite reaction to Guardians 2. I liked it way more than I did the first, which to me felt kinda empty and one of the most disposable MCU films.
The undead hmghost haunting Cruise's character felt like a rip off of the better movie: An American Werewolf in London. Also, you should review Enemy at the Gates
And I was looking forward to the universal monster dark universe too but the mummy was a let down I was hoping to see Luke Evans play Dracula again even though Dracula untold wasn't great I think it had its moments
Zach snyder has to be one of the worst high paid directors in holywood like not everything has to be blue filtered and full of shadows 😂 dude has no talent
I like cult of chucky i though it was better than leatherface. And my most disapointed movie of 2017 is leatherface sorry it was not good i wad so hype and it fail for me my fav. Slasher in this disapointed movie.
Cody Leach At least the live action shows on the cw (Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow) are still good. Later this year, DC will release a live action show based on Teen Titans, hopefully that’s a better superhero team up than Justice League.
Im aware which is why I acknowledged fully that was the point of the movie. I stated that clearly. That just didnt translate into an entertaining experience for me.
I love guardians of the galaxy 2 I was sad when yondu died in the end but compared to the 1st it was a little disappointing Edit: what was I on when I made this comment a year ago, after an exstenvie amount of rewatching GOTG 2 I have decided not only is it better than the first it's the best in the MCU in my opinion.
I loved BvS, i loved Wonder Woman, i loved man of steel. Justice league was absolutely 100% without a doubt horrible.... I was embarassed for the actors and the movie...... Batman was such a beast in BvS, and they absolutely downgraded him. Also the music...... Im sorry but elfman did not do a good job....... I can almost guarentee the soundtrack alone helps in the demise of the movie........ They should not of released this movie. IMO
Although I understand the disappointment in Covenant, but the advertising made you think it wasn't a sequel to Prometheus? There were a few shorts they made before the film was released that connected it to Prometheus 🤔. I hate tue sound of the next movie though, there furthering the Android story and abandoning the Xenos altogether, like WTF? I was hooing since we know almost everything now we'd jist go full Xenos now like everyone wants. Ohwell here's hoping Disney just cancels that movie and reboots the franchise again.
+Craig Norrie I knew it was a sequel to Prometheus the deception in the marketing was that they advertised it as going back to the Xenomorph horror of Alien and the movie leaned way more on continuing the themes and direction of Prometheus.
Loved star wars, enjoyed it went in a different direction, agree with you on blade runner, also watched leatherface and found it boring as hell, and the reveal of leatherface was disappointing
Cody Leach that's cool, I prefer the TCM beginning, I know it's a prequel to the remake, but it had more to it, still can't beat the original film though, that scared me like hell when I was a kid.
Rian Johnson didn't kill off the Jedi or the Sith. Luke even stated before he died to Kylo Ren, "I will NOT be the last Jedi." (which kind of makes the title moot). So the Jedi are going to be revived. And the Sith had already been destroyed in Return of the Jedi when Vader redeemed himself and killed Darth Sidious.
gnc623. The Jedi order the old guard like the council is no more Yoda destroyed the text pretty much telling you that the old ways are dead there are now just powerful force users who fight for the resistance or the First order.
Actually, Yoda didn't destroy the Jedi text. Toward the end of the movie (it's a little easy to miss...I didn't catch it until my second watch, it only shows it for like a couple seconds), Finn opens a drawer on the Millennium Falcon that has the Jedi texts. Rey was able to get them and take them with her before Yoda burned down the tree. So they may still follow them after all...but I'm sure they won't be exactly like the old Jedi Council. It will be interesting to see what they do with the Jedi in the next movie and beyond.
I’m a huge fan of the transformers films but I was SO disappointed after watching the last knight, it’s probably the only bad transformers film, well it’s not BAD it just made me so angry
you are going to like blade runner im sure after quite some time .... dunkirk is meh , hicksaw ridge is real war movie , dunkirk while is not bad - it is some hipster act
Totaly agree about RAW. Went to it back in 2016 at a festival, after hearing all the hype, but it really didn't live up to it for me. I'm thinking I may need to give it another watch at some point, but right now it was nothing more than a decent film. Damn good soundtrack though.
Man, i’m glad to see that i am not the only one who was disappointed by both Blade Runner 2049 and Dunkirk. Chris Nolan is one of my favorite directors, if not my favorite, period, but i felt absolutely nothing during the film. And Blade Runner 2049 too. The original is one of my favorite film and i love the previous works of Denis Villeneuve, but i just didn’t do anything for me. Both movies are gorgeous looking though, some of the best looking films this decade.
That's hilarious! You quite literally featured my absolute favourite film (Blade Runner 2049) and my absolutely most despised (The Dark Tower) on the same list. Hey, man... like you said; it's art, art's subjective, and NO one's opinion is greater than anyone else's. Love your channel!
+Seamus Williams lol Nice. Thank you
Seamus Williams i wish everyone was like this
Monday Night Raw is the only Raw I like.
Steven Duering ur a brave man
Jamille Mendoza You see, I like to live dangerously
i just realized that your shirt foreshadowed what your number 1 pick was lol.
Cody leach going straight to the top by 2020. Best reviewer on the net folks.
+Dylan Thomas Thanks man I hope so
Came here cause i'm sure Cult of Chucky will be here.
+caio lucas You are correct
Bladerunner i really didnt get. And i felt a little... i dont know “Empty” when it ended.
BUT!
Bladerunner 2049 i love. Like so much. One of my all time favorite movies.
And im sorry for u that u didnt find that much enjoyment in it.😔
+Bar' Manfred I had the same reaction to both movies upon first watch.
Cody Leach maybe give a rewatch?
You've only seen two foreign horror flicks? Man you have to catch Cold Prey and High Tension. And remember subs before dubs!
Tony Sola high tension is the shit! Just a simple old school slasher
i know I am pretty off topic but do anybody know a good website to watch new series online ?
@Hayes Abdullah i would suggest Flixzone. Just google for it :)
I absolutely loved Blade Runner 2049. Aside from the beautiful cinematography, the runtime felt like an epic to me and the characters were interesting to me as well. I also saw that it expanded the world of the original, which is still a great movie and added new ideas on the subject matter it explored. I understand that it might not be for you though because it takes a while to tell its story and is very long.
I feel the same way about the original blade runner, it's boring as fuck and I don't understand the appeal.
It might take you a couple of rewatches to enjoy Blade Runner 2049, Cody.
Realistically, we'll probably never get a good Chucky movie again. Don Mancini even stated the point of Cult of Chucky was to be able to do all sorts of different adventures with individual Chuckys. That concept just turns me off entirely. He's even talked about doing a crossover called Child's Play on Elm Street.
+gnc623 Yeah he does not take the franchise seriously at all
My face when I saw #7! Awesome video.
Honestly the most disappointing for me was leatherface
TCM has been crap since 1986
DankBloop same bro
+DankBloop I enjoyed that one actually
DankBloop I agree but I sort of liked it also, I just wanted more actual scary ass leatherface and I get it's supposed to lead up to him becoming leatherface but c'mon on we all walk into a TCM based movie for Leatherface!!!!

Just didn't hit home with what I went into it for.
Don Davidson yeah we only saw leatherface at the ending really c'mon people😠
nice review man but I respect your opinion on movies like cult of chucky which I enjoyed your videos are fun
+Gary Rangel Thank you
Hey Cody man, just got into your channel a month ago and I gotta say, i like how your list stands out to most people's. You give you're honest opinion and that's what's awesome with your channel. ✊
+Don Davidson Thanks man
Guardians was a huge letdown for me too. Marvel movies just feel like a comedy that end w a 45min action finale that drags.
I agree with the ones i saw I was very dissapointed with cult of Chucky and I felt the same way with Dunkirk and I love war movies! Great list man!
+Durant Cinema Thanks man. Yeah Chucky was a kick in the nuts and Dunkirk just isn't for me.
Yo its the Mark Wahlberg blu ray hunter!!!
I RESPECT that your list is not bs and represents how you truly feel. You put big name movies such as Blade Runner 2049, Dunkirk, Last Jedi, Justice League, Guardians 2, to name a few on your worst list because you truly didn't like them and felt like they were overrated. Like you mentioned these movies are on a lot of people's best of the year lists. I feel like some people don't have the balls to put movies that are beloved on their worst list because they are afraid of the backlash. Lastly, I agree that Cult of Chucky was one of biggest piles of shit this year!
+Joe Gilmore Yeah I try to stick to a no bullshit approach
Controversial list but I pretty much agree

Agreed with «Dunkirk» mate. Love you’re youtubechanel dude. Agree with most of your reviews👌
This is the best opinion of the most desapointed movies of 2017. I liked this video and agree. I'll always support your videos Cody.
+Angel Cruz Glad you enjoyed it
saw you on killer flicks! Had to check out the channel! keep it up man!
+Ghody Awesome thank you
I was disappointed in It comes at night and sadly I love the DCEU but Justice League was a disappointment
+Steven Slater Didn't like It Comes At Night but I had no expectations for it
Finally, someone else who wasn’t head over heels for Dunkirk. I had heard nothing but praise for that movie so I went out and bought imax tickets for me and my girl and like halfway through I was struggling to stay awake.

+Joravil Yeah Dunkirk was a chore I couldn't wait for it to end.
1. Promethius was awesome
2. Alien Covenant was CERTAINLY marketed as its sequel
I’m all about Blade Runner 2049 favorite from last year sorry u don’t feel the same way but maybe you’ll feel something in few more watches like u did with the original
Justice League was a disappointment and a terrible film. I hated it. E-Rod busted it with two friends, Linkara and Allison Pregler from Movie Nights.

I agree 100% with Cult of Chucky, it's the only movie I actually did some research on to get more info about.
I do disagree with Dunkirk though. To be fair I never watched a single trailer for it and the only thing I knew from it was that it was directed by Christopher Nolan.

I completely agree with you on Dunkirk. I saw it in theater's and it bored me, and now we are watching it in my history class and a lot of my classmates feel the same way
I don't like boring movies
As bad as cult of Chucky & JL were I can't say they were disappointments. I personally went in not expecting much after all the trash sequels 2 child's play trilogy & all dc movies after dark knight trilogy.

Getting really tired of Marvel movies.
Julie Clarke Same like just cause it's called "Marve" it doesn't mean it's gonna be the best
Not me
You should make videos on how to fix these movies
+The Dark Knight Not a bad idea

Raw hits alot harder when you're french lol trust me
Seed of Chucky is way better than
Curse or Cult - those are the 2 worst of the franchise next to the tv series
I enjoy your lists. Really surprised you've only seen two sub-titled(foreign) films. Missing so much. Have a go with Les Diaboliques, Les Yeux sans Visage or Rouge(rare Chinese film) or A Tale of Two Sisters. Worth the effort.
+John Murphy I've seen more since watching Raw. Still need to see alot more.
from what I understand. Cruise is the reason this film tanked. because he got involved in all aspects of the film, took over SL and directing at times.
Now on the Marvel topic. I’m a huge fan. I love the comics and the movies. However I personally am tired of the light hearted approach. I like those bleak films a lot more haha
I know I personally have to be in the right mind frame to watch a movie with subtitles, for me when I watched it I wasn’t there. So I definitely agree with that one.
+Ashley Grady Yeah it just didn't have your punch for me. All the parts everyone freaked over I had no reaction to.
Let's see if we agree.
10. Raw - Not seen it, and not interested at all.
9. Dark Tower - Didn't hate it either, but it's not great. It needed to be longer.
8. The Mummy - Again not as bad as people said. But not great either.
7. Bladerunner 2049 - Not a fan of the original much either, and this is overly long, but not bad. Great visuals.
6. Dunkirk - Same as Bladeunner 2049, overly long, boring. Great visuals again.
5. The Last Jedi - It's AWESOME, but yes has tonnes wrong with it. Yes lose the Rose/Finn bit. I still love Star Wars. Would be in my top 10.
4. Alien Covenant - It's improved with me since I've watched it a few times. On first viewing I hated it. I like Prometheus though.
3. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 - I thought this was better than the first. Although the first 10 mins is annoying for some reason.
2. Justice League - It's bad. Tried to watch it again. It's not good. So bored with it the cinema. CGI is awful.
1. Cult of Chucky - Not seen it and not a fan of Chucky movies.
In real life Dunkirk was a very important part of WW II, one of Hitler's biggest mistakes. It was a very intense situation for the Brits because they could have lost 325,000 men. The movie didn't pass thee intensity test for me. It came off as just another war story.
Star wars is dead they fucked up
+Leon Kira I understand the frustration but it's FAAAR from dead
o ya of course nvm the 42% box office drop the 49% audience score, the 90% drop in china and it being taken from theaters after it's opening week and it being beaten by a local Chinese comedy. when in doubt Hollywood will always find away to milk a dead franchise.
Leon Kira That's a better than normal box office drop and those audience scores are the most unreliable inaccurate metrics you could possibly use. I didn't love the movie either but those are terrible arguments.
Cody Leach maybe those metrics are Not reliable maybe they're not the one thing that is unreliable search up last jedi on RUclips and see how many people are angry or flat out thought this movie was bad. Trust me I get my statistics and facts from many sources
Cody Leach Really I think the insane Box office drop speaks for itself the fact that the last jedi is breaking a record for the largest Box office drop set a lot and that's with people going back to see the movie sometimes 2 3 even 4 times and there's still a large drop, Consider this Star Wars got beaten out by insidious 4
Most disappointing... The Dark Tower, Alibi.com, Jigsaw, Kingsman The Golden Circle. Surprisingly, I had the opposite reaction to Guardians 2. I liked it way more than I did the first, which to me felt kinda empty and one of the most disposable MCU films.
+Gregory House Interesting opinion on GOTG
Justice League is like the worst happy meal you've ever had- and there's nothing happy about it. 😟
+King Of Arthur haha exactly
i just realized that your shirt foreshadowed what your number 1 pick.
Great list have to fully agree with Chucky as #1 but can not agree with blade runner and guardians but good work
+Jason Hobbs Thank you
The undead hmghost haunting Cruise's character felt like a rip off of the better movie: An American Werewolf in London.
Also, you should review Enemy at the Gates
I love justice league!! It’s one of my favorite dceu movies!!! But I get all the criticism!!! Great list
Damn I loved Blade Runner 2049
+Chad Daugherty I'll probably like it more over time just didn't blow me away
And I was looking forward to the universal monster dark universe too but the mummy was a let down I was hoping to see Luke Evans play Dracula again even though Dracula untold wasn't great I think it had its moments
+Blake Madison Yep it killed the DARK Universe before it even started
Baby Driver and Logan were my most disappointing movies of the year :/
Disagree
i am really impressed this is list is almost spot on, did ott see the Chucky movie so aside from that i agree totally.
+Metro A Thank you
Zach snyder has to be one of the worst high paid directors in holywood like not everything has to be blue filtered and full of shadows 😂 dude has no talent
I loved blade runner 2049 I agree with the others thou
+David Cottone Seems everyone did I just found it good not mindblowing
I like cult of chucky i though it was better than leatherface. And my most disapointed movie of 2017 is leatherface sorry it was not good i wad so hype and it fail for me my fav. Slasher in this disapointed movie.
+dog vs chainsaw 89 I enjoyed Leatherface
Justice League, Alien Covenant and The Mummy were disappointing movies in my opinion.
I’m hopeful the Aquaman movie by James Wan is a good DC movie.
Im hopeful for it but Justice League has robbed me of any excitement for DC movies right now.
Cody Leach
At least the live action shows on the cw (Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow) are still good.
Later this year, DC will release a live action show based on Teen Titans, hopefully that’s a better superhero team up than Justice League.
Blade runner 2049 had flaws I can overlook except 2 half hours only thing I was bummed with
I loved Prometheus, so covenant was great. Love your list and opinions👍
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 is a top 5 MCU movie
Dudr what's wrong that is just the point about dunkirk its supposed to be about the event that day???
Im aware which is why I acknowledged fully that was the point of the movie. I stated that clearly. That just didnt translate into an entertaining experience for me.
Jeepers creepers 3 is definitely on this list
I love guardians of the galaxy 2 I was sad when yondu died in the end but compared to the 1st it was a little disappointing
Edit: what was I on when I made this comment a year ago, after an exstenvie amount of rewatching GOTG 2 I have decided not only is it better than the first it's the best in the MCU in my opinion.
Me too but there is some things that James giun needs to do right in my opinion
I loved BvS, i loved Wonder Woman, i loved man of steel. Justice league was absolutely 100% without a doubt horrible.... I was embarassed for the actors and the movie...... Batman was such a beast in BvS, and they absolutely downgraded him. Also the music...... Im sorry but elfman did not do a good job....... I can almost guarentee the soundtrack alone helps in the demise of the movie........ They should not of released this movie. IMO
+CJ I agree it was a rushed unfinished product
Your number seven is legitimately my biggest complaint. I disagree with you to a point I can’t properly describe.
Although I understand the disappointment in Covenant, but the advertising made you think it wasn't a sequel to Prometheus? There were a few shorts they made before the film was released that connected it to Prometheus 🤔. I hate tue sound of the next movie though, there furthering the Android story and abandoning the Xenos altogether, like WTF? I was hooing since we know almost everything now we'd jist go full Xenos now like everyone wants. Ohwell here's hoping Disney just cancels that movie and reboots the franchise again.
+Craig Norrie I knew it was a sequel to Prometheus the deception in the marketing was that they advertised it as going back to the Xenomorph horror of Alien and the movie leaned way more on continuing the themes and direction of Prometheus.
Cody Leach ah fair enough 😊
It really agree with Dunkirk n blade runner preach it m8
you saw your 2nd non-English film ever in your life in 2017? da fuq?
Z LA ifk
Full on spot on video
Loved star wars, enjoyed it went in a different direction, agree with you on blade runner, also watched leatherface and found it boring as hell, and the reveal of leatherface was disappointing
+squirrel console I enjoyed Leatherface honestly
Cody Leach that's cool, I prefer the TCM beginning, I know it's a prequel to the remake, but it had more to it, still can't beat the original film though, that scared me like hell when I was a kid.
Cody Leach oh yeah just watched the babysitter, what a cool movie, thanks for recommending it, never even heard of it before, but it was awesome
squirrel console the last jedi was shit
That's your opinion, I thought it was cool, a good film. I know people that like it and people that don't.
I loved Star Wars Rian Johnson had balls to kill the Jedi Order and the Sith
Rian Johnson didn't kill off the Jedi or the Sith. Luke even stated before he died to Kylo Ren, "I will NOT be the last Jedi." (which kind of makes the title moot). So the Jedi are going to be revived. And the Sith had already been destroyed in Return of the Jedi when Vader redeemed himself and killed Darth Sidious.
gnc623. The Jedi order the old guard like the council is no more Yoda destroyed the text pretty much telling you that the old ways are dead there are now just powerful force users who fight for the resistance or the First order.
Actually, Yoda didn't destroy the Jedi text. Toward the end of the movie (it's a little easy to miss...I didn't catch it until my second watch, it only shows it for like a couple seconds), Finn opens a drawer on the Millennium Falcon that has the Jedi texts. Rey was able to get them and take them with her before Yoda burned down the tree. So they may still follow them after all...but I'm sure they won't be exactly like the old Jedi Council. It will be interesting to see what they do with the Jedi in the next movie and beyond.
Steven Slater fuck the last jedi
The last jedi is just awful it spits on the legacy of Star wars
Star wars last jedi
Justice League
Only 2 for me
I’m a huge fan of the transformers films but I was SO disappointed after watching the last knight, it’s probably the only bad transformers film, well it’s not BAD it just made me so angry
I thought Raw was decent, good choices on this list otherwise.
Definitely wasn't saying it was bad just way overhyped for me...hence disappointed
you've only seen 2 foreign films! damn those are the best types of movies watch pans labyrinth
+Matthew B bought it just haven't popped it in yet
Could only disagree with 2
you are going to like blade runner im sure after quite some time .... dunkirk is meh , hicksaw ridge is real war movie , dunkirk while is not bad - it is some hipster act
+Wheel Smith I'm sure I'll like it more upon rewatch
Totaly agree about RAW.
Went to it back in 2016 at a festival, after hearing all the hype, but it really didn't live up to it for me. I'm thinking I may need to give it another watch at some point, but right now it was nothing more than a decent film.
Damn good soundtrack though.
+Thomas Quill Agreed it was way overhyped for me
Dunkirk was great tho but I get it.
+Chad Daugherty Very subjective movie
Cody Leach i understand man it's not for everyone
Rank the nightmare series.
+Heywood Jablome Already have
Man, i’m glad to see that i am not the only one who was disappointed by both Blade Runner 2049 and Dunkirk. Chris Nolan is one of my favorite directors, if not my favorite, period, but i felt absolutely nothing during the film. And Blade Runner 2049 too. The original is one of my favorite film and i love the previous works of Denis Villeneuve, but i just didn’t do anything for me. Both movies are gorgeous looking though, some of the best looking films this decade.
+Michella Sarah Totally agreed. Sometimes it just doesn't click
I think blade runner 2049 is amazing, but I totally respect your opinion on it
Watching this after a few reviews, I'm surprised jeepers creepers 3 isn't here
Its on his worst. He wasn't disappointed by it cause he wasn't expecting much from it
I thought jeepers creepers 3 was gonna be here
THIS DUDE THOUGHT CURSE OF CHUCKY WAS GREAT WHO CARES WHAT THINK.LOL
+Norlistapes7 That was a stretch but valiant effort trying to look informed.
I loved Star Wars Rian Johnson had balls to kill the Jedi Order and the Sith
+Steven Slater Didn't love it
Thats how I feel about Justice League I wanted to Love it but just can't
