Thoughts on 2021 movies

 Ranked Worst to Best: Updated 1/1/2022

I don't remember a lot of these.

24. Woman in the Window

-very boring, weird

23. Coming 2 America

-just so many bad ideas in the writing of this one: wesley snipes and semmi are decent, but every other character is basically totally disgraced by the writer, especially Akeem

-Lavelle is an awful character

-The music bits are terrible and take up way too much screen time

-Chris Morgan detracts from the movie

-James Earl Jones is fine

-Very disappointing overall, feels like a straight to DVD kind of film. Surprised it got around a 50% on RT, feels like a 5% kind of movie

22. Spongebob Movie: Sponge on the Run

-Keanu bits were good?

21. Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard

-lazy, unfunny jokes throughout

20. Eternals

-just terribly developed characters on the whole, no real villains

-A few decent characters with potential

-Ikaris and Thena very bland/bad

19. Godzilla v Kong

18. Spiral

-Chris rock great performance

-Terrible ending

17. Red Notice

-Tired of Ryan Reynolds and Dwayne Johnson always playing themselves

-Gal Gadot awful

-Terrible twist

-Still entertaining

16. Venom: Let There Be Carnage

-Lazy writing, huge tonal shifts between murderous Carnage and joking Venom, doesn't work at all

-Carnage's transformation then death is so rushed

15. Black Widow

-Yelena is pretty good

-Solid humor

-Awful villains, terrible last third

14. The Tomorrow War

13. Quiet Place II

-moronic decisions made by many characters ruins a lot of it

-sweet ending twist, cillian murphy pretty good

12. Raya and the Last Dragon

-largely mediocre, not especially funny but entertaining enough

-Sisu by far the best character

-Great ending

11. No Sudden Move

10. The Suicide Squad

-Harley Quinn and Idris Elba great

-first group of characters terrible

-enjoyable but forgettable

-starfish is ridiculous

9. Army of the Dead

-Fun action film

-Everyone dies way too suddenly

8. Judas and the Black Messiah

7. Jungle Cruise

-fun and entertaining throughout, Dwayne Johnson very likeable

6. King Richard

5. No Time to Die

-Rami Malek is bad

4. Dune

3. Shang Chi

-Wenwu is a fantastic and sympathetic villain

-Shang Chi and Katy's skills in the final battle are very rushed/not believable at all

-Katy seems to have no purpose most of the movie

-Awesome action sequences, especially the bus scene

-Great visuals and soundtrack

-Family scenes are so well done

-Great Wenwu moments: vengeance on mom's killers, head touch with Shang, Death/realization of his wrongness

-Wish Shang Chi/Simu got more dramatic moments

2. Fast 9

-worst characters of the franchise (no statham, johnson, walker anymore) but Tej, Roman and Ramsey are very funny and entertaining

-Everything with Vin Diesel is terrible

-Surprisingly dramatic and awesome flashback sequences

-John Cena is terrible

-Awesome action sequences throughout, really carries the movie

1. No Way Home

-Everything with all three spidermen is excellent and so well done

-Ending is fantastic and really sad

-Doctor strange is poorly written/stupid

-The plot is poorly setup, hinges on Peter going to Dr Strange and Dr Strange screwing up which is out of character

-Doc Ock and Green Goblin are outstanding but Electro, and especially Sandman + Lizard are way underdeveloped
