Sicario 2: Day of the soldado

It’s even worser than the first movie. 

At least it was less slower this time.

Hope we will not endure a third movie. For my part I will not.

Even more films I've watched recently that I haven't had time to post about... Yes, I know, I'm bad at this...

Sicario: Day Of The Soldado (2018): I would sum this up as "they had me going in the first half, not gonna lie". A scathing indictment of the American war machine. 4/5 stars.

The Raid 2 (2014): Obviously the fight choreography is amazing, but this sequel had more plot and character development than the last. Very fun and suspenseful. Loved it even more than the original. 5/5 stars.

Top Gun: Maverick (2022): It is exactly what you expect a Top Gun movie to be. Does exactly what it says on the tin. 3/5 stars.

13 Assassins (2010): I liked this a lot! I especially enjoyed the horror elements. I found myself very engrossed all the way through. 4/5 stars.

The Lego Movie (2014): This was surprisingly good. I really enjoyed it's anti-capitalist messaging and over all I just had a really fun time watching it. 3.5/5 stars.

Midsommar (2019): The imagery from this film has stuck with me for quite some time. It was quite a harrowing film, deeply unsettling, and had me gripped from start to finish. 5/5 stars.

John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum (2019): I think this may be the most enjoyment I have ever felt from a John Wick film. I did like the others but this had an even greater sense of fun and playfulness. The film knows what it is and leans in. 4/5 stars.

Top 10 Worst/Most Disappointing Movies of 2018 (That I Saw)

     Here we are, guys, the final two lists of 2018! Most people like to go best and then worst, but I’ve always believed in ending our reflections of the cinematic year on a positive note, so I like to do the reverse. For context: I don’t go out of my way to see bad movies since I don’t (yet) get paid to do this, and as such, some of the ones on this list aren’t truly bad per se, just disappointing given the potential they had. Also, this is my personal list. Some of you may like or even love some of the movies on this list, and that’s totally fine, but for my money, these were the bottom ten that I saw this year. So, let’s get started.

10) Bohemian Rhapsody

Told you not all of them were bad. Bohemian Rhapsody does have some nice stuff to it, like the Live Aid scene and the majority of its performances, but it mostly doesn’t add up to more than the sum of its parts, which is a real shame considering the huge potential it had. I wouldn’t count Rami Malek out for a Best Actor nomination though; he really brought it.

9) Solo: A Star Wars Story

Wow, what a weird feeling. This is the first time a Star Wars movie has landed on a “worst” list since I’ve been making lists, and it’s really a strange thing to consider. Solo, like Rhapsody, isn’t really a bad movie, but the huge potential it had was squandered on more fan-service than anyone needed and less narrative than even the prequels had. This isn’t as bad as those (well, the first two of them anyway), but even Revenge of the Sith had better thematic resonance. That’s not great.

8) Tomb Raider

Really, it’s Alicia Vikander that saves this one, plus some pretty cool sections where she actually gets to do some action stuff, but Tomb Raider feels so assembly-line it’s almost unfair. It’s one of the more competent video game movies we’ve seen in a while, but doesn’t quite have the strength to make them good with an unfocused and sluggish narrative hogging the first two acts.

7) Sicario: Day of the Soldado

Wow, I was way too kind to this one when it came out. While I do enjoy Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro getting to go, well, full Brolin and Del Toro, the lack of Emily Blunt’s perspective character really does hurt this one. The fear-mongering in the beginning is just unnecessary since we’ve already seen how brutal this world can be, but Day of the Soldado’s main problem is how it completely betrays the message of its predecessor that this is how we shouldn’t do things.

6) Mary Queen of Scots

Yeesh, talk about potential. Mary Queen of Scots had everything it needed to be great. Two powerhouse leads, a fantastic historical period to study rife with costume and production design and cinematography opportunities, and an Oscar-frequent studio/distributor a much better director could have actually made use of. But instead of using all of that to its advantage, it just…uses all that. There seems to be a running theme in this worst list that these movies keep forgetting you have to craft an actual interesting narrative and then add the cool stuff, and this one is no exception.

5) Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

I wasn’t a fan of the first one either, but at least it was a cartoonish fun time. The sequel just forgets any semblance of intelligence the characters had before, instead opting for a mid-level horror showpiece that not only isn’t all that scary, but features some of the most out-of-character turns in the entire franchise. It’s lazy, it’s frustrating, and at this point, it’s just a waste of time. Please, just stop with these. Stop giving them money.

4) Pacific Rim: Uprising

There was no singular movie I was simultaneously looking forward to and suspiciously skeptical about more than Pacific Rim: Uprising, and it turns out, I had good reason. I really enjoy the first one a lot, but without Del Toro, the creators just don’t know what to do with this franchise. Even the kaiju and jaegers in this one aren’t as impressive on a visual effects level. And that stunt they tried to pull with Charlie Day’s character? Pathetic. Literally so pathetic.

3) The Nun

And here I thought the Conjuring franchise was actually on its way to surviving without James Wan at the helm. Annabelle: Creation was a refreshing return to quality for the box office juggernaut series, but The Nun (while it had a few redeeming qualities) squandered what good will it had and failed to make Valak an actual terrifying presence rather than a cipher for two characters with no chemistry to want to bone even though one of them is literally a nun (and not even the nun this movie is about).

2) Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

Even more than Pacific Rim: Uprising or Mary Queen of Scots, this was perhaps the greatest cinematic failure in the year of 2018, and definitely was the greatest failure as far as blockbusters were concerned. The sequel to the prequel to the Harry Potter saga plays like an actual book, except the expositional author narration is shoved into the dialogue, where characters you don’t know or care about anymore beg you to take it seriously as “the dark one,” and absolutely refuse to justify Johnny Depp’s presence as the villain who doesn’t actually do anything all that villainous until the film’s final act. Go read my review for the full run-down but suffice it to say, if I hadn’t dipped into some Netflix Originals, this would have been the worst of the year.

1) A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding

Unfortunately (or fortunately) I did dip into the Netflix Originals this time around, and this was the result. Now, I’m not one to just up and watch a Netflix Original just for the sake of it (not really my thing), but I watched this one because I’d seen the first one and it was so bad I just had to see this, and oh boy, it is something you have to see to believe. It’s genuinely laughable, and I mean that literally – I laughed almost the entire time at how ridiculous it is, so I wanted to reward it with the number one spot since I really enjoyed the experience. There’s a bizarre anti-union subplot that makes zero sense, one scene has 5 camera zooms in a row, and Richard has a single expression for being angry where he never moves his neck. Plus the father is literally a completely different person. 15/10, would absolutely love to do a commentary on these movies sometime.

     And those are my results for the worst movies of 2018. Keep in mind, I only picked the bottom ten that I saw, even if not all of them were genuinely bad. Did any of these disappoint you as much as they did me? Are you going to catch up the Christmas Prince Netflix films now? Let me know in the comments section below!

Sicario 2: Soldado (2018)

[wftc141]

My thoughts for Sicario 3 *Spoilers from the first and second Sicario*

Hey guys Whiskey here. Yesterday night I went to see Sicario Day of the Soldado and it was awesome and in my opinion better than the first Sicario because in the first since Day of the Soldado had more action and very dark. I'm glad that Alejandro is still alive because it shouldn't end the film like that where he's trying to get revenge on the Cartel Boss, Carlos Reyes who murdered his wife and daughter and it was bada*s that he survived a bullet to the face and that he blew up a couple of cartel gang in a car with a grenade. I really glad that Matt (Josh Brolin) have a heart for not killing the girl and really love how he went on a full rampage on those cartel savages. Matt and Alejandro are like brothers including Steve who I'm glad that he's alive. What I think for Sicario 3, Alejandro may use the Mexican-American kid earlier in the second film to get inside the cartel as a mule so that he can take them down and get to the Reyes (Cartel boss who killed his wife and daughter). I mean he can't get help from the CIA since they were going to kill him and the girl and they think that he's dead. Plus there's gonna be a chance that Alejandro might give him a chance to walk away after he get his vengeance or kill him (like how Alejandro did to that cop in the first Sicario). I heard rumors that Emily Blunt will return but not sure what her role will be and not sure if her character will even work for the CIA or even work for the FBI again due to what happened in the first Sicario. So that what I think so far and I hope Sicario 3 would be better and have more action in it.
