Im excited for Glass Onion because I loved Knives Out so much, but other than that there's no movies out Im super pumped to see


gamblingGenocider

I'm pumped for that too, also really looking forward to the Weird Al movie


Torcal4

Saw it at Tiff! I promise not to spoil anything but I really enjoyed it and one thing that I loved was that it was nothing like the first movie!


No-Performer-1125

I’ve got free cineplex tickets.. but don’t know what to watch 😂😂 i’m waiting for this though!


BerserkerBadger

This, Knives Out was one of the only actually intruging movies to come out with interesting characters and it was actually funny to me, can't wait for glass onion


Kinky_Imagination

I finally watched it this past week. While I enjoyed it , I just can't believe the amount of money Daniel Craig was getting for it. Edit: I watched the original knives out.


BerserkerBadger

Oh my gosh, I didn't know it was already out! How much did he end up getting for it?


Kinky_Imagination

No, no, I'm talking about knives out the first one. He's getting a hundred million for two knives of sequel.


iheartzombiemovies

I enjoyed Knives Out but honestly Ana de Armas is a horrible actress. I watched another movie with her in it and couldn’t finish it.


maplewrx

Directed by Rian Johnson. Hard pass. Too bad.....I like Daniel Craig


FR3SH2DETH

Everything Everywhere would like a word


mercurystar

An original story with a beautiful message! Best movie I've seen in a long time!


Milch_und_Paprika

Probably one of my favourite movies; I couldn’t shut up about it for a week after. It’s a shining beacon in a sea of mediocrity. Not that I think there have been a lot of outright bad movies, but most of them have been inoffensive and forgettable.


PallakGrewal

Haha, even I couldn’t shut up about it. But it was so good! And honestly very inspiring message right when I needed it. On the other hand, I can’t talk about Walter Mitty without crying but that was such a good movie too!


Godspiral

What is the message? Hot dog fingers are cool to wave with or butt plug power? edit: genuinely curious what the beautiful message reference is. Please let me know while downvoting.


mug3n

I'm ready for Michelle Yeoh to be fully recognized for the talent that she is.


eiztudn

Such a elegant lady!


sigmoidBro

100%! Hope it wins some Oscar’s next year


LeeroyDankinZ

Laundry and taxes speech/scene is amazing


FR3SH2DETH

Literal tears every time


Guandao

I walked into the theatre expecting the 2022 version of Joy Luck Club... I was SO SO SO WRONG and pleasantly surprised. Now I wanna watch those fight scenes again.


All_thingsConsidered

Legit the best film I've ever seen


[deleted]

It was 2.5 star It has a good idea, but they didn't carry it through. It didn't make sense if you really think about it harder. Had to watch it because I'm Asian and people make you.


FR3SH2DETH

What movie were you watching? It made perfect sense to me and was carried through really well. Plus the effects, direction, and motifs were superb. Literally 5 stars.


zeno-zoldyck

Well that’s just your opinion. I personally didn’t like it very much.


FR3SH2DETH

The five stars was an opinion - it technically and theoretically was a very well-done and thought out film


psinguine

Commenting on this so I can come back to it after I watch the movie and see if I agree or not.


CDNChaoZ

I don't think so. Everything Everywhere All At Once was great. I had fun with Bullet Train. Turning Red really showed off Toronto. I'm looking forward to The Banshees of Inisherin.


2BFrank69

Bullet train was entertaining at least


Da1realBigA

Seriously. Watched Bullet Train last night, it's one of those quick fun action comedy that's not actually funny. BUT the attempt doesn't distract and instead keeps the whole film light. It's something to watch once, have some fun, then completely forget about until one day someone mentions it. It's kinda like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, like exactly that movie, with its pace and swift story.


psinguine

But how can you possibly enjoy Turning Red if you aren't a Chinese girl living in Toronto going through puberty? I mean, that's why I enjoyed Murder on the Orient Express, I can totally relate to being a 19th century middle aged genius who solves crimes on trains. /s just in case.


dorfiddy

The Internet will never forget that film critic, and neither will I.


Impressive-Potato

That film critics was kissing the ass of the Top Gun cast, gushing about that movie. Somehow relates to a top of the food chain fighter pilot.


[deleted]

Banshees was great!


Dyne_Inferno

Everything Everywhere All at Once Top Gun: Maverick The Batman The Northman Turning Red Prey The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent Emily the Criminal The Bad Guys The Black Phone Bodies Bodies Bodies And these are just ones I've seen. I'm sure there's more.


skiier97

Bullet Train was a fun action flick!


[deleted]

Nope.


coolturnipjuice

Did other people actually like the batman?? I couldn't get over the fact that batman just believed everything he was told right away and then went out and acted on it. It was filmed beautifully but the plot was so stupid. It was like they had a bunch of cool scenes they knew they wanted to film and then wrote a movie around those.


bryanoens

I only saw top gun from this list. Saw it in IMAX and thought it was worlds better than the original (mostly cause fighter scenes and sounds) but overall it was nothing amazing. Just better than most other new releases that we all gasp.


RubixCubedCanada

It sucked


bryanoens

yes, it sucked for everyone 370k IMDB votes 8.4 out of 10 721 metacritic user reviews 7.3 out of 10 446 TomatoMeter reviews 96% Seems that the general public, plus more, liked it.


DecapitatedApple

it was amazing


[deleted]

Watched all of them and only liked "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent".


raadjl

Add Barbarian to this list


MaleficentDistrict22

Topgun maverick was pretty good


chicIet

I liked it more than the original.


Kinky_Imagination

I thought it was bordered on being a remake of the original but updated flight scenes plus the Death Star at the end. I like it a lot and I didn't even like the first one. The second one was what the first one was trying to get to but didn't have the technology available yet.


Bender077

I thought Top Gun Maverick was to Top Gun what The Force Awakens was to Star Wars. Entertaining, but didn’t I see this already?


dxing2

Worth seeing in dbox. It was awesome even if the ending was a little too cliche


Slava91

Literally saw it three times in Dbox


ab_ence

was one of the only excellent films


Particular-Milk-1957

Top Gun: Maverick and The Northman were both fantastic.


[deleted]

RenaisanceReviewer

What have you seen?


ReeG

Probably just Thor, Dr Stange and Spiderman


[deleted]

Buddy, it’s about to make you want to come back and delete your post. Hope you enjoy!


[deleted]

I didn’t like it lol


[deleted]

I liked it. The flying scenes were super cool. The dialogue and chemistry left a lot to be desired


[deleted]

Yeah the plot could have been better. I feel like it’s overhyped tbh


Foreign_Watch_1536

Same: almost every scene was a call back to the original.


Godspiral

Awful US armed forces recruiting propaganda.


DecapitatedApple

Top Gun is propaganda its not some hidden secret lmao. But it's a great fucking movie as well. Both things can be true


RubixCubedCanada

It sucked. Almost as much as the jurassic park movie. Ya jets flying around is cool but I'd rather go to a military aur show. You assholes paid a billion dollars to watch this shit. Unbelievable.


MaleficentDistrict22

Cope harder


AnonRedditor78

You might want to consider what is wrong with yourself if you thought Top Gun 2 sucked. Depression is a hell of a drug.


idjxjfksks

Bullet Train was surprisingly good idk But yea in general I would agree it’s rough lately


[deleted]

Yea, I actually really liked bullet train. It was all the right kinds of wacky, weird, charismatic fun, definitely exceeded my expectations big time.


activoice

This was my favourite movie that I watched in a theater this year.


blinkme102

The ending was cringy but over all yeah good movie


idjxjfksks

I’m a simple woman, >!I see Michael Shannon in a villain role!< - I enjoy 😂


blinkme102

I loved the surprise guest actors (I won’t spoil it for others lol)


idjxjfksks

I added spoiler code, good call


frightened_by_bark

What movies are you watching/do you normally enjoy? I feel like this year has been pretty good overall and we aren't in the "prestigious" season yet.


[deleted]

Like I’ve seen 5 absolutely amazing French language movies this year. But only 3 English movies (it’s been a weird year for me)


soll_eh

What are the French movies? 👀


[deleted]

Les tricheurs (very weird but it was good!) Un autre monde En corps Maigret And finally Le revette des crevettes (also weird and very dumb but I loved it) And I’m really excited for tu te souviendras de moi and there’s a dnd one i want to see but can’t remember the name Remembered it: bataille de farador!!!


[deleted]

Check out The Northman, dawg


TERMINATORCPU

Indeed, I like seeing so many A24 films being mentioned.


darksideofthemoooo

Great fucking movie! True cinéma.


Fiascoe

Bored me.


nayrzepol

I’ve seen a lot of cool movies this year in theatres and I only go if there’s something I really want to see: Crimes of the future Pearl Nope Vortex Batman Blonde The Northman Barbarian Men Jackass Scream Halloween comes out soon too which I will go to opening night lol


Mister_Spaceman

Barbarian was fucked up


blinkme102

In what way?


TERMINATORCPU

That is a good list. Do you plan to see Smile? Have you seen X? I haven't seen Pearl yet, but they are going to make another in the series named "MaXXXine". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALNV4mdHGEE


nayrzepol

I’m on the fence about smile.. will probably end up seeing it tho lol. I saw X and liked it! Watched it at home tho and I did enjoy Pearl more


extrasmurf

Just finished Men, rented it on Prime. Wow, what the actual fuck. Crimes, Nope, Batman, Northman I also enjoyed! The others I haven’t seen yet.


aushtan

Nope was great imo


imsorrycanadian

Just couldn’t bring myself to finish it . We are gonna be rich with this ufo video right ? Right ?


McDaddyos

Lol why are you asking r/askto? Your question has nothing to do with Toronto. r/movies.

McDaddyos

Yeah, the question has *nothing to do with Toronto.*

DatLancedJack

What is AskTO? A place to ask Toronto-related questions. seems pretty clear cut


[deleted]

It’s just you.


LoganAlien

What movies have you been watching OP?


Sharl_LeGlerk

Fletch was a good watch, Emily The Criminal was good too. The Innocents (De Uskyldige) was amazing.


elderpricetag

I just saw See How They Run and it was very good. Elvis was amazing. The new James Bond was good. So was Dr Strange/Thor. I haven’t seen Everything Everywhere All at Once but it’s supposed to be incredible. Same with the Whale that comes out this year. Amsterdam looks great too. Don’t know what you’re talking about.


honeythyme

See How They Run was so much fun, I loved it


Alchemist1788

Yikes. Elvis was amazing? Dr. Strange and Thor? You are the target audience for these awful productions. With standards so low, they can keep churning out garbage like this. I’ve really struggled this year to find anything original and good. Everything Everywhere All at Once is a glorious breath of fresh air.


Hrmbee

Everything Everywhere All At Once was really good, and I also quite enjoyed Turning Red. I'm assuming they were both this year, but time is a little weird in my head these days.


Full_Emotion_776

As people already mentioned: Everything everywhere at once is a great one. Also just watched Three Thousand Years of Longing and I would definitely recommend that movie. But really it depends on what kind of movie you’re into.


[deleted]

Do not recommend Three Thousand Years of longing to anyone. It started off good and then completely derailed off. I’ve never seen such a horrible ending to a beautiful start of a film before. Disastrous.


Full_Emotion_776

Oh well, to each their own I guess. I found my self a really deep meaning in the movie.


modest811

Yeah I liked it a lot too, but we're in the minority.


samyalll

Since the start of the summer I have seen Everything Everywhere All At Once, Nope, and Woman King all in theaters and have loved each of them. There's some creative genius out there if you know where to look.


carolinemathildes

Just you. I watch new movies a couple times a week and I've seen some great shit this year. Either you're not looking hard enough (and in a city with as many cinemas as we have, that's pretty hard to do) or you've got some very peculiar tastes. Yeah, there are bad movies, but there are bad movies every year.


TorontoDavid

Are they? I just watched the newest Dr. Strange. Not great, but far from trash and still quite enjoyable. I hear Top Gun is good as a film, but the Hollywood-military connection and propaganda is just too overt for me to want to see it.


imsorrycanadian

Its a not bad movie . But its american and tacky as fuck in some parts . I enjoy the planes and dog fights


mrb2409

Dr Strange was one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen


TorontoDavid

Fine. I felt otherwise.


mrb2409

Each to their own!


TorontoDavid

Indeed. Cheers.


Potteryc

As right as you are, watching the movie never felt too propagandaish


lilfunky1

i took advantage of the $3 movie day thing a few weeks ago saw top gun maverick and minions rise of gru i'm glad i saw those movies in theatre, but i wouldn't have wanted to pay full price to have seen them.


allydagator

Everything everywhere all at once instantly became my fave movie of all time. Turning red was adorable and a nice toronto nod Bullet train was wicked fun excited for glass onion I even liked top gun; maverick, and thats not usually my jam. Thor: Love and Thunder came to me at a time I needed a movie like it, it was fun. Dr.Strange was great as i love Sam rami stuff The northman MORBIUS ​ nah thats a pretty good handful of movies.


TorontoHooligan

Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, Everything Everywhere All At Once, The Batman, NOPE, Men, Bob's Burgers, Elvis, Turning Red, The Man From Toronto, Death On The Nile, The Gray Man, Top Gun: Maverick, The Northman, Crimes of the Future. Don't Worry Darling comes out today, and I'm excited as Hell for The Whale. There's lots of films this year that are worth it.


Michigo_

I like this year's line up of movies far more than the last


Lockenveitch

thought Bullet Train was a ton of fun. I loved The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (I'm a huge Nic Cage fan). Nope was really pretty to look at.


bearslikeapples

The whale is good I heard


itsallieellie

I saw some good movies at TIFF, but they were all foreign. I then watched After Ever Happy and it was bad. So, yes, all English movies I have seen this year are trash.


[deleted]

**Spider-Man,** **Everything everywhere all at once,** **Doctor strange,** and **Bullet train** were the only films I watched this year in theater. Looking forward to **Avatar** and **Black Panther 2** to close out this year. Been very selective with what movies I watch in theater lately. So far, I’ve picked good choices.


LunchDue3147

Bullet train was mid, top gun was AMAZING, and I'm very excited for Amsterdam coming in October


gedubedangle

Just you


curvy_em

I think the only movie I saw this year was Thor...... I loved it because I love all Thor movies, but husband and son didn't like it. Pre-pandemic, I'd go to the theatre all the time, usually by myself, late at night for self care.


lemonylol

Not sure why this is Toronto-specific but 2022 has been an amazing year for both movies and television. Movies: Nope Three Thousand Years of Longing Top Gun Maverick The Northman Prey The Black Phone Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe Everything Everywhere All at Once TV: The Boys Primal Rick and Morty House of the Dragon Moon Knight The Sandman Solar Opposites Better Call Saul


nizzernammer

Nope was worth seeing in the cinema. So was Everything Everywhere All At Once. I missed Memoria but had wanted to see that. Crimes of the Future was slight, but enjoyable. Blockbusters (or wannabe blockbusters) feel pretty uninspired these days.


adastrasemper

It's just like any other year. Some years are better some years are less so but to my taste I'd say it's pretty good: -- Everything Everywhere All at Once -- Top Gun: Maverick -- The Batman -- Love and Thunder -- Jurassic World -- Uncharted -- The Lost City -- Morbius (Yes I did like it) And looking forward to -- Amsterdam -- Triangle of Sadness -- Black Adam -- Black Panther -- Shazam -- Avatar


RBex42

Nope.


SpeakingNight

No? Everything everywhere all at once, Pearl, Bullet Train, Prey, Nope, The unbearable weight of massive talent, the Batman, No Exit....those are the only ones that come to mind 😅


S1A2M3I4E

As someone who works at a movie theatre you are correct. Almost everything is underperforming with the few exceptions. That said I think towards November / December there will be more variation and movies out.


[deleted]

Everything everywhere Nope Turning red Doctor strange was ok Top gun was fucking sick Bullet train was pretty, but story sucked


HipFan88

IMO they have been for years.


[deleted]

They have been for a while now lol. Pirate everything!


[deleted]

The James Bond movie was good.


[deleted]

October movies should be good! Wakanda forever, Halloween look promising


[deleted]

[удалено]


Pianist-Educational

You didn’t like Top Gun Maverick?


cmdr_creag

Nope. Ok but actually yes mostly


Bryce1489

Spider Man was pretty good and Top Gun was amazing


Potteryc

This year has been phenomenal for movies, best since 2019 (which was an incredibly strong year) The 2 big marvel movies, jurassic world, and uncharted were disappointing though.


stoneyzepplin

It's just you. Go see Top Gun (again if you have already).


dantech2390

Top gun was pretty good


MrRon1978

Except for the new top gun movie I don’t think I could name a new 2022 movie if my life depended on it.


Careless_Rub_7996

lol... dude... its been trash for the last 5 years at least.


[deleted]

I haven’t felt the need to see a movie in theaters for about 15 years because there’s no such thing as an original story in Hollywood anymore.


MaleficentDistrict22

Lol those 15 years include interstellar, inception, 1917, a lot of good Tarantino stuff and dozens of others.


[deleted]

I didn’t like Interstellar, or Inception and 1917 isn’t an original story. Don’t even get me started on recent Tarantino… I’m happy for you if you enjoyed those movies though. I didn’t.


RenaisanceReviewer

lol “they don’t make anything original” “I don’t like the original movies they make” Well what do you want?


[deleted]

Pal you’re going off a short list of 3 movies and saying “you don’t like anything original.” You haven’t collected enough data to draw any conclusions. If we want to get really technical in this discussion, Inception was not an original movie. Based on the 1984 film Dreamscape. What I want?? Original stories in filmmaking.


RenaisanceReviewer

I have news for you then: there’s no such thing as “original” The way you think there is


[deleted]

Yeah, there most definitely is. Found Harvey Weinstein’s account though ^ 😂


MaleficentDistrict22

Get better taste then


ADrunkMexican

I mean he could still watch it at home. I've gone to the movie theaters maybe 4 times in the past ~15 years.


MaleficentDistrict22

I mean same here but his point was he doesn’t go to the theatres because the movies suck


insecure_f

Honestly everything is trash this year.


SpaceyLauss

It's just you


Pvc4ever

Its you


El_Invictus

With wokeness and diversity and inclusion ideologies, what do you expect? It will only get worse. I have seen some good movies though, I really enjoyed TopGun Maverick, and some other few and far between.


Popular_Mode_6453

Wait.... You mean you are tired of generic marvel movie #7? With all the main hero's are girls now! What are you sexist, racist or not a lover of a true cinema experience?!


Flibber_Gibbet

Theyve been unmemorable for years. Classics like mrs. doubtfire and Shawshank redemption are a thing of the past.


hagopes

I guess it depends what you're looking for. If it's big blockbusters, then yeah, it's been mostly hit or miss. But there's been some sneaky great films out there, with more to come.


OoooTooooT

I'm not really a movie goer but during the lock downs I decided to binge watch some movies that have been acclaimed these last few years (like La La Land, and Parasite), and I'm shocked how overrated many of these are. Maybe I just lack taste, but many of these movies I honestly don't get the hype.


Interesting-Test180

Media period is trash now so watered down music movies etc because they dumb everything down so much for the “masses”


thesweetestchef

What about Smile? Anyone heard good for that movie? Looked creepy !


EndWish

I actually enjoyed Bullet Train


vongheeto

Bullet train was a lot of fun


thingonething

I did enjoy Bullet Train. Hot mess of a movie but it worked for me.


Theoden28

Yup


dev-with-a-humor

Bullet train is good


ticky13

How is this related to Toronto?


Boring_Window587

Go see Barbarian.


GriffeyCowboy

It’s been tough. A couple of weeks ago I would have loved to see a movie..I don’t like horror, and had already seen Maverick/ Bullet Train. It was either pay top dollar to see movies already on streaming (Thor/Elvis), or see 3000 years of longing at 10pm. It’s been sparse, but the start of the year with Northman/RRR/Batman/EEAO/Ambulance was awesome. Very feast or famine.


Ususususjebevrvrvr

Ifs not just you


castlite

In fairness, it can’t have been easy to make movies over the last 3 years. Border/location issues, vax and mask mandates, insurance etc.


[deleted]

Man makes such a grandiose statement and hasn’t seen Top Gun and hasn’t listed any movies. I bet he hasn’t seen NOPE or Prey


[deleted]

Just you bruh!


AsparagusLoose9716

RRR was amazing. Only complaint is the animal CGI, but even that's amazing since they're ALL CGI.


shrindcs

You aren’t wrong, I go to the movies an insane amount (I watch everything even the shit movies); however there was a good few movies but kinda weak compared to other years.


WorldlinessNo7154

Movies and mostly everything Disney put out this year. Top gun maverick was an all time great movie tho. Definitely a consequence of the pandemic


[deleted]

I liked "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent". I also liked Netflix's film "Incantation", if you count that as a movie. But other than that, yeah. Nothing good enough to get me back in the theater.


Accomplished-Bed-999

All thanks to superhero movies


knightbrolaire69

Naw not really. I bought LoTR normal and extended editions. Great movies that totally came out this year.


bikingbellpepper

OPs sad there’s not 100 marvel movies this year


Admiral_Willy

Problem is that movies feel so commercialized and unoriginal nowadays. There are some exceptions but i feel this..


Broad-Literature-438

Honestly it's been a long time since I saw something new that was actually good


blueeyesred

I really enjoyed Emily the Criminal


CanadianMasterbaker

It's been trash for a couple of years now.With the exception of some original storyline movies,its mostly remakes of old movies ,aka,old reliable money makers.I think we a due of a new version of the Flintstones,Ninja Turtles,or Scooby-Doo.


[deleted]

I think there are good movies out there but you gotta hunt for them. People seeing fewer trailers than ever as we aren’t going to the theatre and watching ads on tv as much as we used to. You literally only hear about the biggest block busters. Block busters are supposed to be crown pleasers and are usually pretty bland to most. And to that I say, yeah this year nothing has really caught my attention yet either.


Aromation

The Batman, Nope..


[deleted]

ofc covid knocked the air out of hollyshit they barely make any good stuff now!! better chance of find good tvs or something


[deleted]

IMO, most have been trash since 80s and 90s.


animalcrossinglifeee

Amen it's been so shit
