On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate the movies released this year so far?


1 being awful, 10 being amazing.

I'm giving it a 6/10. Some decent stuff, but mostly forgettable.

i'd say 6.
but generally most of the prestige pictures come in the last 1/3 of the year, so it's not completely fair to judge against prior years.

my top 10 of the year is:
climax
apollo 11
avengers endgame
tigers are not afraid
once upon a time in hollywood
holiday
misommar
rolling thunder review
under the silver lake
dragged across concrete

i like all those films a lot, love some of them. but if i compare that to my 18/17/16 favourites, i think that's a weaker list for sure.

but we're only a bit over the 2/3s mark, of course.

That's how I felt last year. Very few great films came out before November. That's why I put "so far" in the topic because my 6 might move up higher in the last month.

Most average around 5 based purely on the fact that most stuff isn't too good/memorable, but obviously not horrible either.

I'd say TV/Netflix is probably a bit more in demand now than the "movie scene" -- or at least it seems like it's getting to be that way

Maybe 2019 just isn't the year for that many really great movies, but more decent/so-so ones overall.

To me, and this may be a stupid observation on my part, I think the rise of TV is due to the many studies that have been done detailing our increasingly short attention spans. Smart phones have been in our lives for a few years and people have a habit of checking it every few seconds. Less people want to see a full 2 hour movie. Now they want to see something shorter so they could go on their phones in between episodes, assuming they also didn't do it during the episode.

That sounds like it could be a main reason for it, yeah.

better writing is another

5/10 Mediocre!

1, as in I don't even bother seeing what's being released. There's plenty of older movies to keep me entertained.

THOSE WHO DONT WATCH DONT GET TO RATE.

reply

I can understand you feeling that way.

I go back to old movies frequently. It's a different mindset of filmmaking tlthan it is jow.
