What were the best and worst movies of 2023?

[FelixTheCat1919]

Best - The Super Mario Bros. movie. No woke nonsense, just a solid, family friendly movie that delivered on exactly what it was supposed to be.


Worst - Ghosted. Awful plot, terrible writing, action scenes that were so ridiculous they made the OG Arnold Terminator movies look halfway plausible in reality, and mind numbingly bad ending.

Best: Godzilla Minus One
Worst: idk honestly, nothing sticks out to me.

Wow, was Godzilla really that good?

Yes it was dfs

Best was probably Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning.

Worst has a few options. Expendables 4 was pretty bad. Fast X was bad from a critical perspective but still entertaining so I wouldn't pick that. Of ones that I've seen a bunch of scenes from but not the whole movie, I'd say The Marvels, Big Fat Greek Wedding 3, and 80 for Brady all look absolutely terrible. I've only seen one trailer from both The Meg 2 and Blue Beetle and those both looked awful. Although I'm a sucker for terrible shark movies so I might end up watching The Meg 2 lol.

I've heard the new Godzilla movie is supposed to be really good, and I'm sure it is pretty good. Seen some big monster movie nerds talking it up, and I tend to take their word for that sort of thing. I want to give it a watch sometime, but I admittedly struggle with sitting through 2+ hours of subtitles for a movie I don't understand the language of whatsoever. Kinda a bummer in that sense, but only the Japanese can make a proper Godzilla movie anyway it seems.

Overall, you're not wrong.

Best-Killers Of The Flower Moon-honestly was so good it felt like it was only 2 hours-rather than three & a half & never dragged. De Niro unsurprisingly outshone DiCaprio, but the female lead outshone both of them & everybody else.

Worst-Gave up on Oppenheimer 30 minutes in. A childlike director who cannot develop characters, gives you no sense of who Oppenheimer was or why he was like that & just tries to distract with overbearingly loud music, edgy camerawork & special effects-like some music video. After 30 minutes I had zero idea of his upbringing, why he was interested in physics, why he tried to murder his teacher with a poisoned apple & why people were fawning over him-despite a guy in the next room actually being the one doing the work.

I havent watched a new movie in years. I've been going through 80's B movies, mostly action and sci fi. Its pretty sweet, you can tell if you are going to see boobs as soon as the you see the actress..

Lots of boobs hehe

100% yes fam, please do yourself a favor and watch it. I can guarantee you’ll enjoy it.

honestly youll forget you’re even watching it with subtitles. 10/10 movie and I know no Japanese, subtitles were not an issue whatsoever.

[AnaboLecter]

Best: Godzilla Minus One, Talk to Me, The Holdovers
Worst: Oppenheimer

[Roldz]

I haven't been to a theater since 3 From Hell

[nothingshocking]

Best: Godzilla minus 1

Worst: Barbie

[Muzzlrpress]

Also heard Godzilla was excellent, but from what I've seen, my vote goes to Across the Spiderverse 🕷

[Phobaphobia]

I think I've only seen two 2023 movies so far. Oppenheimer was really good. I went into it with no expectations and limited knowledge of that historical era.

Saltburn was bad and gross.

[Jagerjack]

Godzilla Minus One very nice movies

[georgeenoob]

Best: Guardians of the Galaxy 3, Talk to me, Beau is afraid

Worst: marvels, lamb

[Humungus]

Saltburn was bad and gross.

Yeah, that one was weird. Could tell a woman directed it. Get past the shock value and there wasn't much there.

Poor Things would be top for me. Might not appeal to MISC, but thought Emma Stone f cking killed it in a challenging role.

Beau is afraid

Loved this movie, very trippy. Probably a love it or hate it movie, but personally connected with it.

Just saw that Barbie is nominated for Best Picture and Best Screenplay at the Oscars. As if their credibility wasn't already at an all time low, this pretty much seals the deal.

Also why are there 10 nominees for best picture? Kind of dilutes the distinction, IIRC there are usually only 5 or 6.

Used to be 5 forever and like 15 years ago they went to ten. Gives a financial and reputation boost to any movie nominated but yeah it's too many. That 8th, 9th, 10th one nominated is a stretch.

Best: Godzilla Minus One

Worst: Barbie movie
