    Went with Deadpool and The Hobbit even though I feel the latter is flawed (as is the whole trilogy due to bloat.) I know I’m in the minority with this opinion but I feel the Wick films have gotten weaker with each sequel and I only like the first one. Kong was meh. Hoping Godzilla vs. Kong is good next year or whenever it actually gets released.

    Totally disagree. They have built the universe and done so in a way that isn't convoluted or feels like they are flying by the seat of their pants. The Wick films continually up their game as well making fight scenes and gun scenes more intense and filling one with jaw dropping "WOW'S"! I could not disagree more.

    Deadpool and Hobbit. If we were talking about the later Hobbit films, that would be a different story. But the first one was solid, and the least unnecessary.

    I tend to agree that the Wick films diminished; the first one was this clean, streamlined, self-contained action movie. The second and third were muddier, and cooler fight scenes don't a better movie make.

    The sequels just didn’t work for me and while I agree they aren’t flying by the seat of their pants (like the latest Star Wars’ did, imo) I have found the world building to be convoluted and I just didn’t care about it at all by the end of the third movie. For me, from the time Wick left Rome in Chapter 2 it has increasingly required a suspension of disbelief that I can’t give it and many of the action scenes just feel monotonous. I do like violent action movies but the last two Wicks didn’t work for me. The Raid didn’t work for me either but then I loved the sequel.
