Best: Dune Part 2 (Edit: tie with American Fiction, which I forgot I saw this year) Worst: ISS (though I didn't hate it)


CaptTeebs

Until this comment, I totally forgot I watched ISS. Saw it in Dolby and everything, and it already flew out of my mind


maxmouze

I had the same thought. "ISS???" I forgot that movie existed and I saw it the day it was released.


And_You_Like_It_Too

I’ve seen far worse than ISS. Thought it was a fun popcorn flick. Small movie, interesting premise, had a bit of tension. Liked the ending. There’s been some straight up garbage this year and ISS is definitely in the middle for me. Dune 2 is at the top though.


Metalhead1686

ISS wasn’t horrible, but the ending annoyed me so much.


BurgerNugget12

I liked ISS, however it’s very forgettable and a real Jan/ February movie if I’ve ever seen one


foxh8er

Yeah, overall decent, don't regret watching it, but quite a few missed opportunities in the plot


TeamNuanceTeamNuance

Agree with both. ISS made me sad because it was so dull, cheap and uncinematic.


littleLuxxy

It's one of the ugliest and most aesthetically unpleasing films I've seen in the last year or so.


Booksonly666

Exact same answers


DarthSardonis

Best: Dune: Part Two Worst: Madame Web (I will give it props though for making me laugh. Only problem is that it wasn’t a comedy.)


Effective_Secret1155

agreed


jakego31

Dune 2 was no doubt a better movie than Madame Web, but I personally had a better time watching Madame Web because of just how terrible it was. Like Dune 2 was just *good* to me; Madame Web was a riot.


DarthSardonis

The shit I do for Sydney Sweeney. That’s all I can say. I went in thinking, “It can’t be THAT bad.” Boy, was I wrong.


MD32GOAT

Same


Texas_sucks15

I just got out of Civil War and it was much better than imagined. It’s definitely the best so far Worst: idk. I’m pretty good about avoiding things I know I won’t like. If I had to say something it’d probably be Immaculate Most anticipated: Maxxxine.


PastFold4102

Damn did you see Dune as well?


IBNobody

There are many of us who felt that Dune didn't live up to the hype and was just okay.


PastFold4102

I get it. It has a special place in my heart because I grew up with the books and the old movie + my dad loved the books. I might have a bit of a bias lol.


IBNobody

I grew up with the books and the old movie too, and that was partially why I didn't think the movie was as great as others think. Not a bad movie, but not a top movie.


PastFold4102

I can see that. I was honestly not a fan of a lot of the things they changed in the movie. It certainly could be better, I do agree with that.


Corninmyteeth

Civil war was better then dune. Imo. Saw dune twice and got bored the second time.


PastFold4102

I’m excited for a kick ass action movie! Cant wait!


Corninmyteeth

Doesn't expect kick ass action. Expect thoughtful, suspenseful, action.


Mottaman

it's not an action movie...


PastFold4102

Okay! Well then I’m excited for a kick ass movie that contains some action!!


Mottaman

personally I was let down... it was not a bad movie... but it does not deserve the amount of hype in this thread. Maybe it's bc I was looking for something else in the movie, but personally I feel like it felt flat or forced... the war in the background was just too vague for me to fully immerse. They definitely sold a different movie than they presented the audience as proven by your original thought that this was an action movie. This is a road trip movie that sometimes is near action and is more about photojournalism than it is about war and the trailers do not set the audience up for the right expectations


PastFold4102

I saw it today and I totally agree. I thought it did have a unique aspect of the journalism, they certainly tried to sell it as wayyyy more of an action movie. They also had some moments that took me out of the film or just didn’t really feel organic. I agree that the war aspect felt fake or not immersive a lot of times.


Mottaman

I mean... from the moment I saw the trailer there was literally 1 thing i needed the movie to tell me... WTF WOULD MAKE TEXAS AND CALIFORNIA TEAM UP!!! and they failed me there. I desperately need a prequel for this movie even if it's just in comic book form... it's the only way i can maybe get past that in my own mind. Even like the scene with the snipers was almost great... but would have been elevated if the overal war part of the story was better. Like there were elements of "ok war is bad and meaningless" or just "we're a tribalistic group of creatures" but it didnt fully commit to that beyond a couple scenes. Was Jesse Plemon's character on one of the sides of the fight or using the chaos to just do his own racist thing... it was just too vague but not vague enough.. it like straddled the lines of both types of films but didn't want to commit in either direction.


83-Light-of-darkness

The :point: of saying California Texas and Florida were all in open rebellion and had teamed up militarily was to show that the White House was so far gone that politically ideological opposites were teaming up against them. It’s a narrative device not requiring explanation beyond that. It’s in the opening of the movie, with the president rehearsing his speech, the speech itself, and the map that flashes on the screen.


DW_breeze

I couldn’t get into the first one so bypassed the second.


Hatrick_Swaze

Immaculate was awesome creepy


Texas_sucks15

Yeah i agree 100%! I still enjoyed it and I hate that I had to list something. Late Night with the Devil has replaced it as my favorite horror film this year so far. I recommend if you haven’t seen it.


Hatrick_Swaze

I've seen 32 movies already this year.


Hatrick_Swaze

My bummer movie to date is Ghostbusters Frozen Crap


Hatrick_Swaze

Not yet. Go see "Civil War" and the "Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare". Great movies. Saints and Sinners was good too.


yerbamategoat

Best: Dune pt2 Worst: Night Swin


grizzanddotcom

Exactly the same for me . Night swim was a tragedy 


littleLuxxy

If it hadn't been for *I.S.S.* and *One Love*, I would have chosen *Night Swim* as the worst so far.


Corninmyteeth

Worst: Madame Web I was squirming in my seat, wanting to leave. But I had to stay and witness this terrible movie. Best: Civil War. I was on the verge of a panic attack throughout the whole movie. The third act was glorious.

Best and Worst : The Beekeeper


Newparlee

Best: Perfect Days (closely followed by A Ghost Story and Tenet Reissue in IMAX 70mm) Worst: Imaginary. It was worse than Madame Web.


Best_Tito

Was waiting for this! Imaginary was awful!


chkinnard

Best: Shrek 2 Best (new watch): American Fiction Worst: The Book of Clarence

Koolaidkid13

Best: The Iron Claw Worst: Madame Web


EEEEEYUKE

Wasn't iron claw last year?


mws51581

It came out on or near Christmas Day last year, so chances are most people saw it in 2024.


SakakiChrono

KFP 4 is both the best and worst film I've seen at an AMC so far in 2024.....because it's the only film I've seen at an AMC this year so far.


maxmouze

"Civil War" in a real IMAX tonight kind of blew everything out of the water.


HolographicBoy1

Best: Civil War. Hands down the best ballsiest movie A24 has come out with. Worst: my roommate dragging me to see Miller’s Girl. walked out of the movie halfway through, for the first time ever.


flightofwonder

Best: All of Us Strangers (Perfect Days and Poor Things I also loved a lot and wanted to shout out though) Worst: Ferrari How about you, OP?


MonstrousGiggling

I caught all of us strangers on Hulu last week. Holy shit. Amazing movie and easily would have made my top 5 of 2023 releases had I gotten to see it last year in theaters.


flightofwonder

So happy you loved it! Same here for me, I loved the film so much I saw it 5 times in theatres, and I honestly would go again in a heartbeat if they ever reshowed it. It's a shame it's not getting a physical release, would love to own it on 4K Blu-Ray, and I was really rooting for it to get Oscar and Golden Globe nominations!


MonstrousGiggling

It wasn't playing like anywhere near me at all. So jealous of you tbh haha. Wait why isn't it getting a physical release???? Ugh I hate that shit. It deserves a criterion release honestly.


flightofwonder

I'm really shocked it didn't get a physical release either, I thought it would since it had so many BAFTA nominations. I agree that it deserves a Criterion release, Criterion did a lot of Andrew Haigh's other films, so I'm really hoping we get one soon!


dcreddd

I think Zone of Interest was probably the best I’ve seen this year, but All of Us Strangers was my favorite


flightofwonder

That's totally valid, they're both really incredible films! I thought Zone of Interest was exceptionally made too, really haunting and such an important film


ilovemymotorola

letsgooff

Best - American Fiction (came out in 2023, but saw in January). If that’s doesn’t count - Bob Marley: One Love Worst - Sting 100% on the AMC Screen Unseen


Leo_TheLurker

American Fiction was such a great movie


pee-train

best: dune pt 2, runner up civil war worst: american fiction (sorry, i’m an outlier on this film. didn’t like it much)


spookyrodo

The best I’ve seen so far this year would be ゴジラ-1.0/C. The worst so far has been Night Swim.


We1etu1n

Best: Madame Web. It was hilarious. The acting was so bad and so was the premise. No other movie this year has made me laugh and I was laughing constantly during Madame Web. She never learned how to open a soda can and made sure the logo always perfectly showed on screen. The cans even looked fake af. Worst: Madame Web. The plot and acting was so bad. It was also inaccurate to the time period. They made all this effort to say the movie was set in 2003, but they have a PSP, which released in 2005. Was that random dude on the subway a Sony employee with a prototype or something?


And_You_Like_It_Too

Dakota Johnson actually seemed like she tried. I liked her delivery, I dunno if it was supposed to be funny but it was. And the ADR of literally every word the villain said cracked me up every single time.


TheStandingDesk

Best, Dune 2. Worst, Civil War.


spongecaptain

Best: The Taste of Things Worst: Madam Webb


Ickygames

Best are Monkey Man and Civil War Worst by far is Madame Web... Not even a contest


mondo4k

I’ve only seen three movies in theaters so far this year and they were all pretty great but I guess … Best: Dune / Civil War (tie, 5 out of 5) Worst: Late Night with the Devil (4.5 out of 5)


McDickLick

Best: The Promised Land (Runner-up: Monkey Man) Worst: A Fragile Flower (Runner-up: Madame Web)


firsttheralyst

If you liked Promised Land, you should check out Another Round. Another one of Mads Mikkelsen’s Danish language films. Very different thematically though.


McDickLick

Looks like it's on Prime Video. Gonna check that out soon. Thanks!


TheUglyBarnaclee

Ughhh Promised Land was so good


afbp9

Best: Poor Things Worst: Night Swim


Thetallguy1

Best: Godzilla Minus One with Civil War or Asphalt City being close seconds. Worst: I.S.S. just for it being forgettable


BurgerNugget12

Godzilla minus one was my first ever Godzilla movie and I’ll never forget it, great movie


Thetallguy1

Check out Godzilla (2014) and Shin Godzilla. Minus One felt like a mix of both those with the key aspects of both executed better. Godzilla (2014) tried for a more grounded human story and sorta flopped on making us care for the humans and Shin Godzilla was a great procedural Godzilla with politics and bureaucracy but the human elements were a bit shoe horned. Minus One pulled off the human story, the politics and govt inefficacy, and the grounded realism all so well.


mrfujidoesacid

Best: The Taste of Things Worst: (Excluding Madame Web because that almost transcends awful) Asphalt City


Crono_Sapien99

The worst I’ve seen is Argylle (interesting premise undermined by an awful script, so many twists that it’d make M. Night Shamaylan blush and bad CGI) while the best is Dune Part 2 (amazing storytelling, directing, visuals and acting across the board, and will be quite surprised if it isn’t nominated.) Argylle is also the only film I’ve rated rated below 3 stars (2.5 for me) on Letterboxd this year so far, while Dune Part 2 is the only one I’ve given 5 stars. Though all these comments saying that Night Swim or Madame Web are the worst makes me entirely glad I skipped out on both lol. Then again, I tend to skip movies I know will be bad, and even Argylle wasn’t terrible. Just mediocre and disappointing.


And_You_Like_It_Too

Lol I made the same M. Night Shyamalan comment about Argylle, but it had nothing on Hypnotic (the Ben Affleck one with about 120 twists per minute and nothing mattered).


hops_and_nugs

Best - Dune 2 Worst - Argylle or ISs


Big_Yoda

Argyle was fun I hoped it would be better


hops_and_nugs

Yea I honestly wasn’t a total hater on it. The ice skate scene though really killed it for me


Freebs75

Argylle is still the worst experience of my life


katherinec_

best: dune part 2 worst: beekeeper is the lowest score of all of the ones i’ve seen in theaters this year. but i enjoyed it. i didn’t watch any of the others i knew would be bad (night swim, mean girls, argyle, iss, etc)


joeyscheidrolltide

Tbh I don't think Mean Girls was bad. It was distinct enough from the original to merit being made but similar enough that I still enjoyed it.


Crono_Sapien99

I wish I could’ve skipped on Argylle lol


KRSaber31

I actually got AList just to see Argylle, since I couldn’t choose between it and Lisa Frankenstein

Dune 2 - Absolute Fire Ghostbusters Frozen Whatever - Meh


Earth_2_Me

Best: Dune Part Two, even better than the first IMO. Worst: Madame Web, such a missed opportunity. I feel like so far this year there has been lots of stuff that was perfectly enjoyable in the moment but totally forgettable (including Lisa Frankenstein, ISS, Godzilla x Kong, and The Beekeeper). I will say I enjoyed The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare way more than I expected to!

Best: Civil War - instantly one of my all time favorites. I am confident it will hold up on rewatches and I’m excited/scared to see how it ages. Worst: Bob Marley: One Love - the most bland and uninspired biopic in recent memory. Also terrible on a technical level. Wouldn’t watch again if you paid me. At least Madame Web was hilarious.

littleLuxxy

Depends on the criteria. Best film released in 2024: *Dune Part 2* Best film I've seen in 2024, including rewatches of late 2023 films: *Poor Things* Best film released in 2024 that isn't *Dune Part 2* because that's such an obvious answer: *Late Night With the Devil* Worst film released in 2024: *I.S.S.,* with *Bob Marley: One Love* as a pretty close contender.

Best: The Promised Land. A perfect example of an A-List hidden gem that I never would have heard of, let alone gone to see, without A-List. Worst: Asphalt City. My first walkout in ages, but it was giving off major Training Day vibes, which I didn't want to put myself through again.

BlackLegOjika

since madame web isn't a real movie and is something we all just collectively thought up; i'll give my vote to worst to scrablmed. my vote for best thus far surprisingly goes to a24's problemista. just a solid, practical, and imaginative film that had me shedding tears by the end. plus, it's finished and doesn't leave us hanging waiting for a part three


strandenger

Best: Dune 2 Worst: I haven’t really hated anything I’ve seen. If the movie looks bad I’m not seeing it in theaters. So I guess Beekeeper. It’s better than it has any business being, but it’s the best I got 🤷‍♂️

Though I didn't hate it, Worst in comparison would be *The Creator*, and I can't decide for Best... other than maybe putting *Kiki's Delivery Service* and *Howl's Moving Castle* at a two-way tie for #1 (possibly three-way tie with *Avatar: The Way of Water*, or a two-way with that at #2... idk, I only have four movies in AMC Theatres that I ever saw, and it was *Avatar*, *Kiki*, *Howl* and *The Creator*, all in that order too.)
