Ladies and gentlemen this is something that I usually do on December 31st however i'm writing this review a day early simply because I cannot think of a single thing to review. I think it's safe to say that 2020 has been a terrible year for reasons that you all know and it's because of those reasons that alot of films either got delayed until next year or were dumped onto one of the thousands (or possibly millions) of streaming services and so instead of producing a top ten films of the year i've been forced to spilt this post in half with the first five films being my worst films of 2020 and the second half being my best films of 2020 and the rules will be the same those being I have to have seen the film in the question then film in question has to have had a UK release date of 2020 and so let's get this post started shall we.
WORST
5 THE GRUDGE (2020 FILM)
Perhaps the worst sin that this film commits is the fact it's boring and is very easily forgotten i'm honestly sat here right now i'm trying to think of anything that happened in that film and I can't think of anything. This film really wasn't needed we didn't need another film adaptation of Ju-On: The Grudge and it doesn't help that as far as I ca remember the film does nothing original so it's a pointless remake / sequel to the American the grudge films.
4) BLOODSHOT
Now you'd be forgiven for thinking that there wasn't any comic book movies released this year however there was a very small amount of comic book films that did get released both on Christmas Day and in February of 2020. Sadly this film does start of a small trend for the next few entries in this list since this film is pretty I can't say that's as bad as another comic book film on this list but yeah this film is bad because it takes a cool idea of having a human be enhanced by something to give them superpowers and it somehow makes that idea dull and bland.
3) THE NEW MUTANTS
This is a film that i've been looking forward to for literally years since the film was meant to be released back in 2018. This film just like Bloodshot and even the next film on this list had the potential to be good but it just didn't live up to it mostly because of the fact that the film had been delayed so many times that it became ridiculous but also because the film has bad writing , slightly bad acting and just does a bad job at being a horror themed superhero movie or just being a movie in general since none of the characters are likeable the film isn't scary in the slightest in my humble opinion.
2) BIRDS OF PREY
Now I know that this is going to upset alot of you but i'm one of the many , many , many people that didn't like this film. To say that I hated this film would be like The Mandalorian is a good TV show and the best thing in Star Wars right now (no duh) every little thing that this film could do wrong it does do wrong hell it doesn't make the titular Birds Of Prey team the main characters it instead makes Harley Quinn the main character which trust me is just the very tip of the ice berg when it comes to the amount of things that I didn't like about this film.
1) American Pie Presents: Girls' Rules
I'm just going to be blunt as hell here this film is really freaking bad all this film is is gender swapped version of the original American Pie and nothing more. This film is more bothered with shoving an agenda down your throats then it is about being a good film hell this film is more interested about reminding you of the original American Pie then it is about being aa good film there's nothing redeeming about this film whatsoever and it's one that should be avoided at all costs in my humble opinion.
BEST
5) Scoob!
You know it really is something when the first film in my best of 2020 films list is at best OK but like I said at the start of the post due to alot of films either getting delayed or dumped on a streaming service the fact that there was enough films to even make a top 5 worst list is astounding. This film is honestly really freaking entertaining and it does a good job of bringing the Mystery Inc gang into the twenty first centaury but I do wish that the film makers had gone with the current official voice cast instead of using celebrities but at least they brought back Frank Welker to voice Scooby-Doo so there's that at the very least.
4) SONIC THE HEDGEHOG (FILM)
Now for all of you who are getting ready to bite my head of that this isn't higher on the list let me explain. It's at number four not because it's bad film because it isn't it's honestly a really good film but it's because the following three films are films that I happen to like more then this film but like I said this is still a good film since it tells a good story and is in my opinion one of the most fun films to come out this year and i say bring on Sonic The Hedgehog 2 because they are working on a sequel and yes I will be covering it when the sequel which currently has no title with the sequels current release date being April 8th 2022.
3) WONDER WOMAN 1984
Now it was very hard for me to choose which film went in this spot since in my opinion both films are really good. I will fully admit that Wonder Woman 1984 isn't as good as the first solo live action Wonder Woman film from 2017 which was also called Wonder Woman (duh) but in my opinion this film is still a really fun film to watch and it's full of good acting and really good action but that's just my humble opinion tho.
2) SOUL
I went with this one over Wonder Woman 1984 because this film was very visually stunning in my opinion. I cannot put into words how much I was looking forward to seeing this film because the words simply haven't been invented yet and while this film didn't live up to my own person expectations this film is easily one of the best films of the year and I say one of the best films of the year because there's another film which is slightly better in my own humble opinion.
1) WOLFWALKERS
Wolfwalkers for me is easily better then Soul since it does every little thing that Soul gets right but it does those things better in my opinion. Everything about this film is just simply stunning from the animation , to the music and the acting it all just works really well in this film and like with The New Mutants this is a film that i've been looking forward to watching for years but whereas The New Mutants didn't live up to my expectations this film exceeded them.
To cut a very long part of the post short I used various fandom wiki pages for alot of the images that I used in this post with the exception on the American Pie Presents: Girls' Rules poster which I got from Google Images and I used Google Images for the 2020 logo / whatever you want to call it at the start of the post. In this case it would be pointless for me to say which website would be best to use since im not talking about one particular thing here but I will say that the fandom wiki page's do nine times out of ten have high definition images.
