Movies of 2022 (That I watched)

This year we had a bunch good movies and also so many disappointing ones. All in all, this is an average year for movies. I saw many movies this year but obviously not all of them or even enough to make a clear judgement about them. I just want to categorize my favorite movies and the movies that disappointed me in this year. It's obviously not the statement of best movies of this year. It's a list of the best movies that I watched.

My favorite movie of this year is #TriangleofSadness
#TopGunMaverick, #TAR & #TheBatman will be close runner up. 
This year isn't a good year for Drama movies. Yet the best movie for me is Triangle of sadness, which is a drama film. It's beautifully crafted with good acting, mind blowing cinematography and sound design. Palme D'or winner Swedish director Ruben Ostlund made an amazing movie which gave him another Palme D'or from Cannes.
TAR is another drama film that is awesome. A story of a crual orchestra conductor. Cat Blanket was awesome in this movie.
Top Gun: Maverick is probably The most popular movie of this year and deservingly so. It's a perfectly well made alrounder movie. Also, The batman is another runner up with Pattinson's stellar performance and very good cinematography. 

Honorable mentions: 
#EverythingEverywhereAllAtOnce, which is an well made sci-fi film that can only be described as a better multiverse of madness. #ArmageddonTime, A slow burn, well made coming-of-age story about the strength of family and the generational pursuit of the American dream. #TheSwimmers. The story of two popular Syrian sisters, the Mardini sisters. How they struggled during the war, how their life turned upside down and how they managed to overcome their miserable life and win the gold in olympic as a refugee. This story will make you cry.  #Elvis. The story of the greatest Elvis Presley. Probably the best performance of this year by Austin Butler.  The Worst Person in the World. A Norwegian drama film. Actually released in last year but we got to watch it in this year so I included it. 

Every year movies are mostly average. So, I also listed some good average movies that worth a watch.
#Spirited, #LuckiestGirlAlive, #EnolaHolmes2,  #SeeHowTheyRun, Ticket to Paradise, #BulletTrain, #WheretheCrawdadSing, #TheGrayMan, #TheNorthman, #DeathontheNile, #Spiderhead, #TheAdamProject,  #WestSideStory.
 
This year so many movies didn't fulfill my expectations.
Amsterdam. I was so excited for this movie. David O Russel casted almost every A list stars possible. Just hear the names, Christian Bale, #MargotRobbie, #RobertDeNiro, #RamiMalek, #AnyaTaylorJoy, #TaylorSwift, #JohnDavidWashington, #ZoeSaldana, #MikeMyers, #MichaelShannon. Oh my god. Like it doesn't stop. But still the story is somewhat meh! Don't get me wrong. It is a watchable average movie. But, with so many stars this movie should've been one of a kind.

Don't Worry Darling. Another Bad movie with high expectations. #ThorRagnarok , #BlackAdam, #DrStrange in the MOM three comicbook movies that wasn't made that well according to the expectations. They had amazing Trailers  but that was it. And Black Adam was marketed too much with no such storyline. The Lost City. It also had #SandraBullock, #ChanningTatum, #BradPitt, #DanielRadcliffe. But it was somea very ridiculous story. Fantastic Beasts: Secrets of Dumbledore. Another failed attempt at the Fantastic Beasts series. No one can fill the shoes of #JohnyDepp. At this moment even JK Rowling can't find her fine touch to nake these movies interesting.  Deep Water. A crime thriller with  Ana De Armas and Ben Affleck. But it just couldn't get that interesting at all. #Uncharted. Another failed adventure film. It was so close not to make this list. It should've some changes in my opinion.

Now I'll give the best film by genre in my opinion. 

Best Drama Film: Triangle of Sadness

Best Action Film: Top Gun: Maverick 

Best Comedy Film: See How They Run & Bullet Train.
