No 1 - Frankenstein

I never would have expected to be so enthralled with Frankenstein and i knew that with someone like Guillermo de Toro at the helm it would get a great film.

even if you could see where the original bones of the source material are, everything felt so fresh and amazing.

No 2 - Superman

A comic book movie with colour (shocker) but to be honest i was so happy after seeing Superman. its really great to see creators proudly show where they are taking their characters from with All Star Superman being a part of the foundation for James Gunn's take on the character.

No 3 - Sinners

i will admit this will probably give me some flack, i didnt completely love sinners but by all means it is an absolutely incredible film.

you can't praise this films soundtrack enough coupled with the fantastic visuals really sells this movie.

No 4 - Ballerina

a spin off from the John Wick universe along with a character who should struggle but does grow into a formiable assassin. i couldnt say its as strong as previous films but i do like a new dive into the world with another faction seperate from the high table.

No 5 - Fantastic Four : First Steps

after many years of repetitive MCU, i wouldnt call this groundbreaking but it is a step in the right direction (Ayyyyyyyy)

FF is refreshing in a few ways, 1 - not needing any background watching for it.2 - CGI that looks more believable unlike previous projects

No 6 - Troll 2

I really liked the first Troll, really invested in the lore of a creature from myth coming to life in modern times, while not exactly original, it still was a very unique take with some over the top action.

personally Troll 2 is kind of the same film with Monsterverse trappings

No 7 - Five Nights at Freddy's 2

god i am a fan of FNAF and i hated this movie, the only real reason this film is higher than JWR is cause this movie made me feel something

the good is the animatronics once again being absolutely amazing and the resturants are well detailed and thats about it

No 8. Jurassic World - Rebirth

the first 5 mins of the film told me exactly what i was getting myself in for with a snickers wrapper starting the plot. outside of that it feels that this reboot of a reboot? hasn't gotten any fresh ideas to move the series forward
