Film fans i'm writing this on New Years Eve and so we are just a few short hours away from not only the end of the year but also the end of the decade. So that means that it's time for my yearly post were I take a look back at all the films released during the year this year tho i'm doing it a little bit different instead of creating two different posts for both the best and worst i'm combining the two and i'm doing 5 for each and as for the rules I have to have seen the film and it has to have been released in 2019 and all kinds of films are allowed not just theatrically released films but also straight to DVD and TV films and so here we go.
WORST
5) Wonder Park
This film could have been so cool if only the film makers had what this film keeps on preaching about imagination. Instead tho all we get is a by the book film with nothing new or interesting thrown in nothing about this film is redeeming in anyway it all just feels bland from the characters , to the jokes , to the story and more importantly the animation which is not only bland but just boring to look at.
4) Ma
Like Wonder Park this film had an interesting idea and it even cast good actors who could help pull it off. However the finished product just didn't deliver the thrills that one expects from a horror film and so when a horror film isn't scary it's got a huge problem adding to those problems is the fact that the characters be it the main villain or the heroes just aren't likeable which is always a huge issue no matter the genre and the script just isn't that good despite having the actors good enough to pull it off and make it good.
3) The Curse Of La Llorona
From one bad horror film to another and they both had the exact same issues since they both took a really cool idea which had the cast to pull it off and make it good but they failed to take advantage of it. Like with Ma there's nothing scary in this film at all the only thing that's scary is how bad the film is and that's really it which is a shame because the idea is actually pretty solid and could have had some decent scares.
2) All The Live Action Disney Remakes
I really couldn't think of just one film to take up this slot and so I had to go with the live action Disney remakes. What makes these films bad is that they not only fail on basic level of actually telling a good story it's painfully obvious to anyone who watches even one of these films that there only made to cash in a popular franchise and nothing more but what is a true shame is that remaking older movies isn't a bad idea if the film there remaking was already bad instead there picking these classic films that everyone loves and telling the same story again only now with live action actors so there's nothing new being thrown in which makes them feel like a spit to the face of not only the original films but those who made them and those that love them.
1) Charlies Angels 2019 (AKA Charlie's Angels The Woke One)
What can I say about this film that hasn't been said it's so freaking bad and what makes worse is the director / writer/ producer / star of the movie is proud that it's a bad film. This film had the potential to be good it really did it had a great set of actors and it had a solid writer / director but it became obvious to those who saw it that it was more interested in saying that all men are bad then it was telling an actual story and if you think i'm making that up actually think about it for a minuet all of the men in the film are either all evil or dumb as a rock where as the women are all good guys gee I wonder if there's an agenda going on here.
BEST
5) Jay And Silent Bob Reboot
Now that we are done with the bad films from last year let us now talk about what i think are some of the best films of the year. This is a film that I was so hyped about that I even went back and re-watched Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back and thank god I did because they make a lot of jokes about that movie and if i'm being honest here alot of the jokes I thought were really funny and it just proves that this duo can still make people laugh.
4) Godzilla: King Of The Monsters (2019)
This film was also released as Godzilla II: King of the Monsters in some countries but for the sake of this post i'm going by the American name of the film. I'm not going to lie this film was fun as hell it wasn't deep on plot or character and character progression because that's not what you want from a Godzilla movie you want to see Godzilla kicking butt and that's what this film gives you see the King Of The Monsters take on other famous minsters from the likes of Rodan of Ghidora and it is just fun to see play out plus it has freaking Mothra in it and they somehow made her look cool do you guys know how hard that is to achieve so bring on next year for Godzilla Vs Kong.
3) 1917
Now I recently reviewed this film and when I say recently I mean it was yesterday and so I won't go into that much detail as to why it's here since i'd just be repeating myself. I will say tho that this film needs to be seen by alot of people that's how good the film is I don't care if your seeing it because your a fan of the director or any of the cast just as long as you go and see this film and experience the film.
2) Avengers: Endgame
This is wear I get very lazy because all i'm going to do is copy and paste what I put about the next two films from my previous post but i'm only doing it because i'd be hitting the same points. Now I want it to be known that I really love this movie so much so that I reviewed it twice and the fact that it's second on this list doesn't make it a bad thing it's only here because I had a very tough choice to make. What else is there to say about this film that hasn't been said by everyone else who's seen it it's a great movie and a great conclusion to over ten years of storytelling , world building and character development and this is the only movie this year where I cheered loudly in a theatre and that is something I never do.
1) Joker
Now you know why I had a tough choice to make regarding the number one spot because both this and Endgame are so good I highly recommend seeing both of them. What topped it tho for me was the fact that this film stayed with me for days after seeing the film where as I stopped thinking about Endgame the night after I saw it there really is nothing more I can say about this film that hasn't been said other then just go and see it it's that good. This film also made me think which is something that a movie regardless on if it's a comic book movie or not never makes me do yes there are movies that require you to use your brain like Arrival by Denis Villeneuve but none that have made me think.
