Call Me By Your Name
Call Me By Your Name (Review)
I don’t think a film has been hyped up as much as this one for a very long time. It was marketed as this truly outstanding love story and coming of age love story. I just found it to be extremely pretentious and really missed what everyone else saw with this and the performances that I didn’t really find very special at all.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (Review)
This was all my own fault as lets face it Jurassic World was a lovely nostalgic trip back to the world of Jurassic Park and those memories of watching that film as a child. So I was very much looking forward to Fallen Kingdom, but it was more of a mix between Lost World and Jurassic Park III which was not really a good combination in my opinion.

King of Thieves
King of Thieves (Review)
A recent event. An incredible line up of British actors. But what turned out to be the biggest disappointment of the year. Why with such a cast and a pretty amazing event of the robbery do you then decide to turn it into how many times can we get these old men to swear? It took away anything from the film and the trailer actually made it look decent. Such a shame!

Ocean's Eight
Ocean’s Eight (Review)
I blame myself for being disappointed with this one as I think I just built up how good it was going to be way too much. Which was such a shame really as it does have such a great cast with a decent storyline. But I was left wanting and needing more from it.

A Quiet Place
A Quiet Place (Review)
The hype surrounding this one was huge and I just found it all to be a little bit too much and quite frankly boring at times. Along with the predictable moments for what was going to happen next. Everyone else seemed to love this as well which I felt added to my disappointment.

Christopher Robin
Christopher Robin (Review)
The biggest mistake I had when seeing this was hoping it would be on the same level as Paddington. After the terrible Goodbye Christopher Robin as well I thought this would save my childhood memories of Winnie the Pooh, but far from it. I just found this to be boring in comparison.

Hereditary
Hereditary (Review)
Now with this film I actually thought it started off very well, creepy and quite frankly terrifying. But then I would say about a third of the way in the wheels fell off for me and I just found it more silly than sinister. I still think Toni Collette was fantastic. But in the end this just disappointed me so much.
My wife made the mistake of watching the other Christopher Robin film, which as you point out was dreadful. As for “Call Me By Your Name” I agree completely. “Love, Simon” handled a gay love story perfectly, this one was full of completely nonsensical scenes and preaching…condescending to the subject matter…I liked one of these, but understand your issues with it
That Goodbye Christopher Robin really was awful, Margot Robbie was so miscast it was unreal!
Glad you agree about CMBYN, I just failed to see anything great about it.
That is why i enjoy watching movie on Newest movie app. It saves a lot of money and to some extent time as well. You can downoad newest movie hd apk from https://apkmodreviews.com
Couldn’t agree more on Hereditary. First half of the film was exceptional, but lost it completely by trying to fit into thv horror genre.
So glad you agree about that! Writing about the film on this list made me even more annoyed about the stupid ending too!
I completely agree with king of theives being a disappointment. So much more could have been added to that film to make it more interesting
Oh totally! Especially considering three films have been made about that heist already.
Ooh I really liked a few of these but I’m glad to find someone else who didn’t like CMBYN! I was bored to tears and I’ve never been able to even look at a peach since watching it.
Haha oh the peach scene!!! I’m glad you agree with that one. I think I just built the others up too highly!
I was one who really loved A Quiet Place. It made my Top 10 list (give it a look and tell me what you think). What won me over was the family story at its core, more so than the horror. I’ve never got the admiration for “Call Me”.
Oh I can totally understand why you loved it, I just felt let down (too much hype ahh).
There was a ton of hype for sure!
Going back to our other convo about release dates this is something that doesn’t help hype at times!
First Reformed, Roma and Blindspotting all disappointed me. Generally just bored with them, but I’m def in the minority with these.
I tried to watch Roma, but wasn’t feeling in the mood for it. First Reformed had a very limited release over here!
I almost walked out of Roma bc I was so bored….
You see that is something I feared when I started watching it . . .
I was disappointed with Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Unsane, and Winchester.
Oh, also The Nun!
It seems horror type films are the most disappointing haha
I missed Winchester and looked at it a few times on Netflix and decided against watching it.
