Disappointed by Lightyear. Wish it could've lived up to my expectations better. Top Gun was fucking awesome, though. Also Mad God (if that counts?) might be film of the year for me. What a phenomenal piece of art.

Instant Masterpiece - Top Gun: Maverick
Great - Sonic 2, Jackass Forever, Shut In, The Northman
Good but flawed - The Batman, Jurassic World: Dominion, Death on the Nile

Everything else has either been terrible or not worth watching

For the remainder of the year I'm pretty much only interested in:
Elvis
Nope
Avatar re-release
Halloween Ends
Black Adam

My two most recent films, Minions 2 and Elvis, I both liked.

Minions was a fun little film, much better than I expected, and Elvis was great, although I couldn’t stand Tom Hanks.

I think The Northman is the best I've seen so far this year, but I could be forgetting something. I also do as much catch-up as I jump on the newest releases, so I'm slightly unclear on what was 2022-released.

The Batman and Prey were also pretty good. I enjoyed X quite a bit. And Jujutsu Kaisen 0 was way better than I expected from a shounen fighting series movie!

Men was impressive in many regards, and I respect the risks it took. Unfortunately, I felt like the director's previous films (Ex Machina and Annihilation) were much more successful in the end.

Everything Everywhere All at Once was mind-blowingly cool for the first 20 minutes with return on investment diminishing with each passing scene. By the end, I was exhausted with both the premise and the sentimentality. With both this film and Men, I feel like the availability of effects leads to some decadent excess in the filmmaking, rendering those impressive elements less so by their sheer volume and repetition. Wanted to love this one but my interest sagged.

My top 5 of the year so far (no particular order!)

The Batman
Prey
Jujutsu Kaisen 0
Everything, Everywhere, All At Once
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

Each one did something for me emotionally, mentally, or impressed me as an experience. In the case of JJK0, it spoke to me the most because of how much I loved Yuta’s journey. DS:MOM was flawed but I enjoy it every time I see it, and I love both the hero and villain arcs included, though they are a bit rushed. The others are solid movies all around, even though the pacing did drag a bit on The Batman and Everything, Everywhere.

Some disappointing movies I saw:
Thor: Love and Thunder
Jurassic World: Dominion
Lightyear

JW was ok but still not amazing. Thor 4 was enjoyable, but my least favorite Marvel project this year by far, with flaws that harmed my overall enjoyment for it. Lightyear was just boring— I liked the homages and aesthetics, at least some of them, but it bored me and how they used Zurg was super disappointing.
