5. Mission: Impossible – Fallout– An awesome action film, with well-conceived and well-filmed sequences, featuring Tom Cruise doing it all…including flying a helicopter. Most of the big twists are too obvious, and the movie runs a bit long.
4. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse– Innovative visuals that bring a comic book to life, plus a great character arc. The main villain and some side-characters could’ve been fleshed out a bit more.
3. Black Panther– A great and diverse cast, a unique cultural superhero story and a fantastic villain create a memorable movie. A slow start and an overly CGI-filled climax take some of the wind out of the sails.
2. A Quiet Place– An innovative horror film, with fantastic acting and edge-of-your-seat tension. A clever mix of sound and no sound creates a rich texture. A few cliché moments hurt the originality of the film, but only slightly.
1. Avengers: Infinity War– An impressive visual spectacle with action, humor and moments of sorrow…although all these elements don’t always blend well. The cliffhanger ending leaves you in shock, but knowing that you’re only getting half the story hurts the overall experience.
