I re watched Dredd and Fury Road when reading this thread over the break, both great movies. Two thumbs up.
I also enjoyed the Martian and Blade Runner as well though, and of course John Wick, tough call on what is the best. The whole marvel thing was ok I guess for super hero shit, but honestly those superhero movies got old towards the end. But out of all of the superhero movies I think I enjoyed the latest Thor Ragnarock? and Guardians of the Galaxy. I thought they were both funny takes. But not something I would say was best in decade.

Agreed.
"MOTO SURF!!!"
When you can predict the future with a SEGA game gear how could you possibly not think it's the GOAT.

Wind River and Hell or High Water have the same writer/director. The deputy from Sons of Anarchy. He also does Yellowstone.

I saw Wing Commander. Calling those two movies possibly 'the worst ever' is just silly in comparison. Didn't see Battlefield Earth, but I think that's another good example of what 'worst ever' really means.

On this forum a lot of endgame hate was anti SJWs argle bargling it trying to bring it down, like they do with any movie they perceive as slanted toward SJW in the slightest bit.

The SJW trash is a small, but noticable, reason and one of many why Endgame isn't universally loved. Chaos already expanded on why, but the TLDR is that Infinity War was incredible and Endgame not only had to follow it but also wrap up the entire Marvel Universe to that point. Team Girl Squad just added insult to the injury of it's mediocrity.

Or because it dragged.
It's The Dark Knight Rises to Infinity War's, Dark Knight.. Just not as good as the Dark Knight trilogy stuff, but yeah.

Which is surprising because Yellowstone is complete garbage while the movies are masterpieces

It is there, just hard to due to lack of large icon like all the TMDB started threads.

I can't understand people who liked Interstellar more than The Martian.
Interstellar was a just okay movie that could have been so much better.
The Martian achieved what it was trying to do perfectly and is just a super fun movie to watch.
A movie that's not showing up much in this thread but was excellent is Gone Girl.

The ending for the Martian was better in the book. But Hollywood gotta Hollywood.

This thread is the reason I DL'd Fury Road. It's really good but I can't relate to why many of you think it's the best of the decade to be blunt.
Also, how many stuntmen died filming that movie? LoL... I was just imagining the logistical difficulties of getting some of those amazing shots and wrecks because I feel like they went practical effects on a lot of the film, yes? HOW they made the film impressed me more than the film itself because Max and Furiosa were emotionally flat imo and the plot was extremely basic. Go to green place. Green place not there. Kill bad guy. Make old home new green place. Tada!
Curious just to hear y'alls take on why it's one of the best films ever.

To reuse a comparison I made for the pretty flawed The Tree of Life : Perfectly jumping over a chair is less impressive than attempting to jump over the moon and almost making it. That said, I much prefer the Martian over Interstellar. And I also prefer The Tree of Life over both so my little comparison is the silver bullet.- 1

Cool story, awesome pacing, almost no wasted time, and the best practical effects maybe ever?
The only digital effects were recoloring and the firestorm, basically.

The rest of your post I agree with and it's strong suit is most certainly the over the top action which is top shelf and visual wow-factor of the shots/cinematography. I like how the film made me almost feel thirsty in the early parts. That's impressive to do... to elicit a physical response to the viewer heh.
