When will Hollywood realize that none of us fans are asking for a remake/reboot of good, classic movies? Why is it so hard to come up with something original? 🤦‍♀️🙄

When audiences stop going to them and actually show up for original films? We can blame Hollywood all we like but it doesn't change the fact that audiences prefer known franchises over new ideas. Similar to how chain restaurants do better than mom-n-pop restaurants. With the franchise we get what we expect even if what we expect is mediocrity. With new/original films we're taking a risk and while they can be much better, they can also be much, much worse. As an indie filmmaker myself, it can be disheartening that relatively few people take chances on outside-the-mainstream films but I totally understand why they don't.

Nothing is ever “original” nowadays. Every movie has at least a few aspects/tropes from another movie. The most original movies are often considered contrived and overly complicated. Plus original movies, unless a big director is involved, it’s damn near impossible to get a big budget signed off. Even WITH a big director it’s hard sometimes. The real question is why don’t big studios make horror movies to offset their losses? A decently made one is guaranteed to make a profit. Which is why Blumhouses model is so ingenious.

I'm surprised The Flash wasn't on here and not at number 1. It disappeared from theaters in like 2 weeks and I haven't heard anything good about it. I wouldn't be surprised if it was so bad that people have completely forgotten about it. To be honest I had to check to see if it actually came out 2022 and that was why it was left off. The movie I think that was underrated or not appreciated was Blue Beetle. It's a pretty serviceable movie and the cast was solid. It seemed like a good starting point for Xolo Maridueña to get into movies. I have hopes to see him more often, he is really talented and think he has a chance.

I thought the Flash was okay! Not great but okay. It wasn't as bad as people made it out to be. I think the drop off was due to the fact everyone knew Gunn was going to move in a different direction so if you did like anything in this movie it's one and done. I also believe if the Flash was recast it probably would have done better. I agree with you on Blue Beetle it was pretty good and I enjoyed it. Gunn said the Blue Beetle will return so I have high hopes for the character.

The Flash was one of those "not great, not terrible" kind of films. I agree with others that Ezra Miller's personal failings made people want to hate it or to see it fail, but judging it outside of that context, it was just sort of mediocre - and there are plenty of other superheros genre films that are worse. If they squeeze only 1 more thing out of The Flash as a character, maybe just a Peacemaker cameos where he has inadvertently caused Col. Flagg to not die in the events of The Suicide Squad (which can set him up as a Peacemaker antagonist).

My take on Expendables 4 was that they were trying and hoping to extend the franchise even though Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, and Antonio Banderas were too advanced in age to do action movies like this anymore. At least Jason Statham was still young enough to do this movie, so they had to introduce younger characters as sidekicks. However, they whiffed on this with 50 Cent, Megan Fox, and a couple who had no chemistry on screen. This may have worked better with Jason Momoa, John Cena, and Emily Blunt, but they probably cost too much to cast.

Indiana Jones should be on the list.

Watched Freelance last night and found it ok, in a lightweight sort of way. Seen far worse than that this last year, the stand-out being the Antman Quantumania, which was so awful that I switched off halfway through and never have managed to bring myself to finish watching it.

You missed the worst one by a mile - "The Marvels" is a joke (about half as good as the Aquaman sequel - and you had it in this list). Can't believe you didn't mention it.

Even if it cannot be considered "intellectual property" anymore, is it possible for a "public domain" cultural touchstone to sue a filmmaker for defamation ? Asking for a friend.

2023 has been an awful year for movies😂😂😂😂

I think I was wise to stay away from all of these films. It was a pretty "meh" year for the films I did watch. Of what I watched, I enjoyed "Saw X" the most. I saw "The Flash", "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania", "Guardians of the Galaxy V 3", "Shazam: Fury of the Gods", and "The Marvels". I didn't hate any of them, but I didn't think any of them were epic. The worst superhero film I saw this year was "Wakanda Forever", but only because I missed it in 2022 when it was in theaters. That's easily the worst MCU film, and is almost as bad as "Inhumans". I actually enjoyed "The Flash". "The Marvels" should have been a better film than what we got. There is a decent enough plot in there, buried under some garbage, but I'm at a loss to figure out how this film serves the greater MCU (except for the post credit scenes). Even a phase two stinker like "Thor: The Dark World" introduced the reality stone. It's almost like "The Marvels" was made by women, with women, for women... and the women went to see "Barbie" instead.

It was Expendables for me. It was boring without any bright spots. Although, had I seen it, blood and honey would absolutely be number 1. Everything else on this list is an Oscar winner compared to that cynical, pos cash grab by all accounts.
