- DirectorGore VerbinskiStarsJohnny DeppOrlando BloomKeira KnightleyCaptain Barbossa, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann must sail off the edge of the map, navigate treachery and betrayal, find Jack Sparrow, and make their final alliances for one last decisive battle.Yes, this film might've been confusing for a lot of people including me, but going back to watch this movie a few times I think that this film is really clever and mature. Unpopular opinion, but it's my personal favorite in the franchise.
- DirectorSam RaimiStarsTobey MaguireKirsten DunstTopher GraceA strange black entity from another world bonds with Peter Parker and causes inner turmoil as he contends with new villains, temptations, and revenge.I did like this film more as a kid, but in my teen years that feeling kind of disappeared. But as an adult I've come to appreciate what this film tried to do and understand the production issues it had.
- DirectorTim BurtonStarsJohnny DeppFreddie HighmoreDavid KellyCharlie, a young boy from an impoverished family, and four other kids win a tour of an amazing chocolate factory run by an imaginative chocolatier, Willy Wonka, and his staff of Oompa-Loompas.This film was very weird when I first saw it so my reaction was mixed, but overtime I've come to respect that this film had its own unique vision
- DirectorBen StillerStarsBen StillerKristen WiigJon DalyWhen both he and a colleague are about to lose their job, Walter takes action by embarking on an adventure more extraordinary than anything he ever imagined.My initial reaction was fairly mixed and I even forgot about this film. Though I have been given reminder about this film and realized how much I can relate to it. A massively underrated movie.
- DirectorMike MitchellStarsMike MyersCameron DiazEddie MurphyRumpelstiltskin tricks a mid-life crisis burdened Shrek into allowing himself to be erased from existence and cast in a dark alternate timeline where Rumpelstiltskin rules supreme.Being the last Shrek movie(far as I know) I really thought this wasn't that good. And while it may not have the power of the original 2, I think that it definitely did a better job than the third film in the series.
- DirectorChris MillerStarsAntonio BanderasSalma HayekZach GalifianakisAn outlaw cat, his childhood egg-friend, and a seductive thief kitty set out in search for the eggs of the fabled Golden Goose to clear his name, restore his lost honor, and regain the trust of his mother and town.At first I thought that this film felt incomplete, but looking back at it, I really think it was a fairly decent stand alone spin-off of the Shrek movies.
- DirectorJoss WhedonStarsRobert Downey Jr.Chris EvansMark RuffaloWhen Tony Stark and Bruce Banner try to jump-start a dormant peacekeeping program called Ultron, things go horribly wrong and it's up to Earth's mightiest heroes to stop the villainous Ultron from enacting his terrible plan.Based on the advertising I could tell that something felt off about this movie and sure enough I didn't like the look of this film. However in terms of its story, I feel like I overlooked this one.
- DirectorMarc WebbStarsAndrew GarfieldEmma StoneRhys IfansAfter Peter Parker is bitten by a genetically altered spider, he gains newfound, spider-like powers and ventures out to save the city from the machinations of a mysterious reptilian foe.I had a number of issues with this movie from the suit to the fact of it being a reboot, but I guess that time has been a bit too unkind to it, and few people appreciate its own unique world.
- DirectorDavid YatesStarsDaniel RadcliffeEmma WatsonRupert GrintAs Harry, Ron and Hermione race against time and evil to destroy the Horcruxes, they uncover the existence of the three most powerful objects in the wizarding world: the Deathly Hallows.When I first saw this movie it just felt different than what I was used to in these films. But I felt like this matured with time and I realize that it does a great job at setting up for the conclusion and at developing the trio in character.
- DirectorJoel SchumacherStarsVal KilmerTommy Lee JonesJim CarreyBatman must battle former district attorney Harvey Dent, who is now Two-Face and Edward Nygma, The Riddler with help from an amorous psychologist and a young circus acrobat who becomes his sidekick, Robin.Yes, I know this is one of the Schumacher films, and by no means would I ever call this a masterpiece, but it does a pretty good job at distinguishing itself from the Burton films, even if it doesn't match them in quality.
