Gotta chime in and agree with @secretsociety92 here. Loved the original and was very disappointed in the sequel. Had like one decent jump scare in the beginning and then a whole bunch of run-of-the-mill scary shit for the rest of it.

Teen Titans Go! to the Movies 10.) Mission: Impossible - Fallout Would love to see everyone else's!
I can fuck with just about everything in your top 10 - except Overlord, haha! Still, your numbers are way stronger than mine, so good on you! Can’t wait to see what this year brings!
Haha, that is fine by me as that is far more than most and yeah 2018 was a perfect storm really for seeing new films at the cinema plus I even got to rewatch some old favourites on the big screen so it was a great year. Hope this year is even better.
I didn't quite log everything watched in 2018 - focused mostly on logging movies released in 2018. Not a bad run though: Callum Macleod’s 2018 year in review *Ducks when people see how much I did not enjoy Incredibles 2 and Paddington 2 compared to most* Going to try and log every movie including old, re-watched and new in 2019.
Don't ever feel ashamed of what you do or don't like, I used to be but now I'm not and I have come to enjoy films and reviewing them a lot more as a result.
Oh, I’m with you there. I was just kidding. A good example being Venom, people trashed that movie and I had a blast with it.
Exactly what @secretsociety92 said! You’re not alone in being underwhelmed by Incredibles 2. (Although Paddington 2 was the bomb!)
