Mac's Movies

As 2019 comes to a close and a new decade begins, I wanted to look back at each year's best movie from the past decade. In this instance, I have only ranked movies that I have seen. 2010 . Despicable Me 2011 . Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 2012 . Avengers Assemble 2013. Now You See Me 2014 . Captain America: Winter Soldier 2015 . Star Wars: The Force Awakens 2016 . Deadpool 2017 . Logan 2018 . Avengers: Infinity War 2019 . Avengers: Endgame Avengers Endgame has to be my favourite movie of the decade. I will never forget the experience of seeing it on the opening weekend, with all the associated hype. I clapped, cheered, smiled and cried, all in the space of three hours. Goosebumps. Hopefully the next decade will be just as good for movies. Look out for my most anticipated movies of 2020 blog post in the next couple of days.

Following the recent release of the heavily criticised X-Men: Dark Phoenix , I thought I would share my ranking of an inconsistent franchise that I love nonetheless. This is my ranking of the X-Men movies, that first appeared with Bryan Singer's X-Men in 2000. 12. X-Men Origins: Wolverine 11. X-Men: Apocalypse 10. X-Men: The Last Stand 09. X-Men: Dark Phoenix 08. The Wolverine 07. X-Men 06. Deadpool 2 05. X-Men: Days of Future Past 04. X-Men: 2 03. X-Men: First Class 02. Deadpool 01. Logan "Hello, old friend." Logan is one of the best comic book movies of all time and is by far the best movie in the X-Men franchise. The swansong of Logan and Charles Xavier is amazing and the X-Men franchise should've ended with Logan . However, X-Men: Dark Phoenix is the last movie in the X-Men Fox franchise. And whilst it isn't the finale X-Men fans were hoping for, it isn't as bad as some people have reported.  But don't despa...

UK Release Date: 16 May 2018 Certification: 15 Director: David Leitch Cast: Morena Baccarin, Zazie Beetz, Josh Brolin, Julian Dennison, Stefan Kapicic, Shioli Kutsuna, Brianna Hildebrand, T.J Miller, Ryan Reynolds Rating : 78 % You're so dark. Are you sure you're not from the DC universe? Review: Deadpool 2 is by far the most entertaining movie of the X-Men universe. Deadpool does everything he does in the first movie but oh so much better. He is funnier, more violent and is more of a relatable character because of the plotline.   The introduction of new characters such as Cable, Domino and Yukio made the dynamics between the characters even better than the first one.  Cable makes for a great villain and anti-hero. And because Cable is played by Josh Brolin, Deadpool blatantly mocks his Thanos appearance, "Zip it, Thanos". Domino has great charisma and is a very interesting character with a significant amount of screen time. Deadpool 2 received gre...

UK Release Date: 10th February 2016 Certification: 15 Director: Tim Miller Cast: Morena Baccarin, Brianna Hildebrand, Stefan Kapicic,   T.J Miller ,  Ryan Reynolds, Ed Skrein  Rating:  88% Deadpool cosplay costume from Tracon 2018, Tampere, Finland. Review:   Tim Miller's 2016 Deadpool changed the comic book movie genre forever. Deadpool is no outright goody two-shoes superhero - he's no Captain America. He's sexy, sassy and sarcastic.  The movie embraces the fact that the original comic book Deadpool is an insanely violent character but is humorous at the same time. From his fourth wall breaks and his comic pop culture asides to his extremely messy way of getting things done, Deadpool makes for an unlikely likeable character.  Ryan Reynolds had been trying to play a proper Deadpool ever since the studio messed up Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine and he is perfect in the role. He plays the funny side of Deadpool brilliantly, the...
