The big 2015-2017 movie recap.

Yep, no more summer, winter, summer, winter, and the years overlapping at winter, I'm finally gonna fix these, and start fresh at 2018 with Black Panther.
No time like now to finally do it.

But first...

And now....


2015

1. Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Star Wars, natch.

2. Mad Max: Fury Road

Gorgeous.
It feels like a Star Wars stuck on a desert planet.

3. Creed

Why don't I own this yet?
Oh, right, Starz keeps playing it.

4. Ash vs Evil Dead (season 1)

Glorious.
Only Season 2 tops it.

5. Age of Ultron

It's no Civil War, but it's pretty damned good.

6. Ant-Man

Ditto.

7. The Human Centipede 3 [Final Sequence]

My fevered mania for this series of films has cooled down, and this is where it goes.
Y'know, Billy Boss looks like a prediction of Harvey Weinstein now.
I wonder if Tom Six heard the whisper chain of rumors like Seth McFarlaine did.

8. Terminator Genisys

The James Cameron re-reboot of the timeline with Linda Hamilton back had better be good.
Yep, I'm still giving this franchise chances.
Unlike....

9. Jurassic World

I've seen the trailer for the next one, and it does nothing for me.
I'll pass.

10. Fantastic Four

They're coming back to MCU!!
Fox can't rape them anymore!!
Hooorayyyy!!!!!

11. Vendetta

Well...I guess the Soskas only had "American Mary", in them after all.
Heartbreaking.


2016

1. Rogue One

Star Wars, natch.

2. Deadpool

Good news, Deadpool will still be R when he joins the MCU.
Bad news, TJ Miller is a rapist.
D'oh!!

3. Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice

I guess they made these movies for weirdos like me, and no one else, because the mainstream-ies ain't eating what DC is cooking. *Shrug*

4. Captain America: Civil War

Best Marvel movie until Infinity War comes out.

5. Dr. Strange

Can't wait to see him team up with Tony in Infinity War!!

6. Ash vs Evil Dead (season 2)

Again, glorious.
Season 3 can't fucking get here fast enough.

7. Ghostbusters: Answer The Call

Similar to HC3, my fevered mania has cooled down.
I still dig it, but I'm not insane over it anymore.
I still worship Holtzmann though.
And the comic sequels are awesome.
Wish they were movies.
Stupid Sony.
Buy them next, Disney.

8. Suicide Squad

Same as BvS.

9. X-Men: Apocalypse

Least good of the First Class trilogy, but still pretty goddamned good.
Fassbender's acting, and Quicksilver as a character still make this aces.

10. Star Trek Beyond

Quentin Tarantino is taking the reigns of this franchise now.
....huh....

11. Batman: Return Of The Caped Crusaders

I'm grateful Adam lived to make these.
(This, and "Batman vs Two-Face")

12. Sausage Party

Aw, fuck, is TJ Miller in this?
*Checks IMDB*
Nope!! Phew!!
All right then!!


2017

1. Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Fanboy tears are delicious.
Fan theories make a nice toasty furnace fire.

2. Logan

Masterpiece.

3. Wonder Woman

Game changer.

4. Thor Ragnarok

Metal band t-shirt the movie!

5. IT

See, Stephen King adaptations?
This is how you do it!

6. Spider-Man Homecoming

Can't wait to see Spidey in Infinity War!!
Can't wait for 2020 to see him meet Fantastic Four and Deadpool!!

7. Lego Batman

Best Batman movie, who knew?

8. Guardians Of The Galaxy: Vol. 2

Least good MCU movie this year, still incredible.

9. Crisis On Earth X

Best Justice League, who knew?

10. Justice League

Second best Justice League, who knew?

11. Ghostbusters 101: Everyone Answers The Call.

Should have been a movie.
I repeat what I said at "Answer The Call".

12. Ghostbusters: Answer The Call: What Dreams May Come

Only one issue out so far.
I like what I see though.

13. Baby Driver

And, Kevin Spacey is a pedophile.
But, he's a villain, and he dies, so you get to enjoy that, I guess.
Ooops, spoilers.
Fuck it, pedophile rules trump spoiler rules.

14. Justice League Dark

The live-action one has its bar to jump over.

15. The Dark Tower

Good movie, terrible adaptation.

16. Atomic Blonde

It's 80's, it's killing Russians, it's Charlize Theron.
Fun shit.
Hasn't stayed with me though.
Probably won't buy it.

17. Alien Covenant

Scott acts like he's still getting sequels despite this bombing.
Does he have incriminating bestiality photos of an executive, or what?
Wouldn't shock me at this point.

Anyway, this was the biggest disappointment of the year until....

18. Inhumans

Marvel might be kicking DC's ass at the theaters, but DC ate Marvel's lunch on TV, and "Earth X", and this are why. Ho-ly shit!!


2018

Up next, Black Panther, Ready Player One, Infinity War.
See you then!
