Jonjo's Top 72 Movies of 2018:


03

Love, Simon

⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2





My Letterboxd Review: "I feel the same with this as I did with 'Wonder', in the sense that this could be quite useful and beneficial, to be played in classes at schools.

A heart warming, emotional, funny and just overall nice teen rom-com. I think it will have replay value and it was nice to see a gay love story told and executed in a "normal" way.

We need more of this."

Jonjo's Top 72 Movies of 2018:


01

Avengers: Infinity War

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐





Opinion and thoughts now:

What a film. Such a rollercoaster of emotions. It's literally THE perfect film. My favourite movie of ALL-TIME. I honestly cannot put into words just HOW I was feeling when I first saw this as it blew my mind (and I was a WRECK!!). It's all action RIGHT from the opening scene and for the first time, there was NO Avengers Theme! As the Marvel Studios Logo went on it was actual dialogue of a ship radio calling for help and screams. SHIVERS.

I just can't put it into words. Just flawless.

---

My Letterboxd Review (after first watch): "**SPOILER FREE**

I'm still trying to process everything. It's SO MUCH to take in on your first viewing. But as of right now, quite simply put... it's a breath taking, edge of your seat, rompous superhero movie. It packs so much punch and such an emotional rollercoaster.

The balance of comedy and serious drama throughout is incredible. The way they've managed to use and give airtime to every single one of the heroes is quite simply, astonishing. The Russo brothers have some ridiculous magic and manage to pull it off so beautifully and make it feel so natural and not so forced. They all served a purpose and had some sort of importance.

I'm still so struck by it all. The reviews are saying it's "exhausting", it is, but it's to it's favour. Had it not been, people would be moaning that they didn't get enough and that it was "weak". Another viewing of it and it'll be a lot easier to process.

I need to view it again myself, but I am confident that this is the best MCU movie/Superhero movie in general ever, to date.

Amazing."

You redeemed yourself with Avengers at number one tongue.gif I wonder whether Endgame will be number 1 at the end of this year's list?
