Is it too early to call Villeneuve the greatest Sci-fi movie director of all time?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I’d say he’s almost there. 4 scifi films so far (5 if you count Enemy) and all are successful and highly rated. Dude has never made a bad movie yet.

I’ve read that he wants to make a rendezvous with Rama movie and I really hope he gets to make it because that would be wild and he’s just the right person for it.

Though I agree, I wonder if Deadpool vs Wolverine will take that spot. The only other one that can mayyybe top those would be Beetlejuice if it’s any good. But Dune pt 2 was so good that’s it’ll be hard.

I'm still a big Marvel fan but Dune has actually gotten me to the theaters.

I'm looking forward to watching both the other movies you mentioned... from my couch.

It was a great movie.

Still umming and ahing over the top 10 this year but a rough list so far would be:

  1. Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In
  2. Dune 2
  3. Civil War
  4. Late Night With the Devil
  5. Abigail
  6. Poor Things
  7. Furiosa
  8. The First Omen
  9. Boy Kills World
  10. Lisa Frankenstein

I expect Deadpool & Wolverine to steal the top slot. Other contenders: Longlegs, Joker 2, and possibly Alien: Romulus.

Worst: Madame Web

I just realised The Holdovers sneaks into 2024 - I was crudely sorting my ratings by year, which obscured it's actual UK release date. I might throw it in at #7 and then consider moving it up.

I made it about 10 minutes in to madame web. I’m assuming it doesn’t get any better?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

The first 10 minutes might be the best bit - you can feel your IQ drain away as the film continues.
