Annihilation is not mentioned in the OP? It's probably a good movie, but it also has a weird distribution where it's in theaters in the US but on Netflix just weeks later everywhere else. Also two producers on the movie hate each other with one of them (same guy who produced Geostorm) saying that it's too intelligent or something.

I was super selective this year on what to see due to having little money, and I've loved everything I saw except for Pirates and Justice League.

Cloverfield Lane didn't get a trailer, or any buzz until 3 months from it's release date.

Yeah I'm not sure why people keep bringing up Cloverfield Lane was a bad sequel when it wasn't a sequel. A quick Google search would tell you the only connection is Cloverfield is a sci-fi anthology series.

The MSJ posted:I have to point out that the two Vin Diesel moves mentioned in the OP are actually financial successes globally, especially F8. China loves Vin Diesel way way more than the US does. xXx: The Return of Xander Cage made almost 4 times as much there as it did in the US and The Fate of the Furious made almost twice as much.

got any sevens posted:Killing of a Sacred Deer was one of the best ones last year.  The cinematography was jawdropping. Scenes would be set in spaces normally thought of as close and compact, but the way it was shot was far away and isolated and left you feeling disconnected from the surreal poo poo that was happening, like you were observing a nightmare from a distance.

I'm betting its that vacations are a sin if you're poor. It's pretty much the most successful ongoing franchise that Sony still owns outright. Their other big franchises over the last decade were James Bond (their 4 film deal ended and it went back to MGM), MIB (ended/in production limbo) and Spider-Man (failed, had to share it with Marvel).

Cheapsteaks posted:What were the weird lessons in the first and second? I never saw them, but I'm curious. The first one is that true love is done on sight, can never be overruled, and is immutable. The second one has a bizarre scene especially in the wider context of the film where the undercurrent is basically "foreigners will never belong in America, no matter what they do"

Here are some quality movies that I saw in 2017 that haven't been mentioned yet: Kingsman: The Golden Circle - once again showing that if you are going to adopt a Mark Millar comic, don't do a sequel. 2:22 - fresh off his Game of Thrones fame, Michiel Huisman stars in this thriller that has patterns, paranoia, past lives, predestination and a plane that almost plowed into the pavement. Unlocked - Noomi Rapace and Orlando Bloom star in this most generic of generic thrillers. It would have been vastly improved if halfway in it had turned into a sequel to 2016's Rupture. Going In Style - pensioners rob a bank to get their due, director Zach Braff robs movie goers of their money to get his. Power Rangers - not that bad, mainly because they don't suit up and bring out the mechs until the last 1/4 of the movie. I guess sometimes the origin story is good enough? Huh. Sleepless - starring Jamie Foxx as a corrupt cop who has to deal with bigger crooks to save his son. David Harbour is also a corrupt cop. That is supposed to be a plot-twist but it is obvious from the moment he appears on screen. Al Borland Corp. posted:I liked monster trucks. Really solid kids movie. I was really curious about it, but they didn't even release it in cinemas over here. When you aren't releasing a movie in a country where you just have to do subtitles, you have (A) no budget, or (B) it's bad.

Mierenneuker posted:I was really curious about [Monster Trucks], but they didn't even release it in cinemas over here. The most interesting thing about it was the is-this-real post from some dude who claimed to have worked on a terrifying version of the film that got one of its release dates scrapped. Otherwise, it was the same as a bazillion forgettable live action children's flicks. Coulda slapped a Nickelodeon logo on it in the 90s and never known the difference.
