Lords of Chaos (2018)
Best comedy ever
To be fair most of the reason that I give 10/10 is that I find Black Metal to be absolutely ridiculous nonsense. This movie successfully depicts Black Metal fans for what they are: cringeworthy clowns.
Thank you to the makers of this movie for this priceless comedy!

Taximetristi (2023)
A brave take
Throughout the entire film, you can clearly tell that the script was adapted from a theater play. The main focus is on character-to-character interaction.
In a world (country) full of movies made solely for cheap laughs (some good laughs ngl), this film has a unique and brave take, attempting to exert different feelings than the Romanian audience is familiar with.
The film has a bittersweet vibe, showcasing very real-life, relatable scenarios. Many people from different backgrounds may identify themselves or, at the very least, empathize with certain characters.
It is true that the film could have been executed better, however I still gave an 8/10 for braveness and the unique take it provides.
Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)
Waited 13 years...for THIS??
Okay, let's get something straight from the beginning. Yes, the visuals are amazing, I get that. But this is not some Unreal Engine promo.
I never expected nor wished for an outstanding plot. I say with all honesty that I went to the cinema without any expectation for plot at all. And yet, no matter how much good will I armed myself with, nothing could prepare me for the horrendousness I've just witnessed.
There is absolutely nothing coherent in this movie whatsoever. There's too many characters, too many plotlines, too much stuff going on. There's too many moment that require massive narration to explain the backstories. It's just too much to handle, and nothing goes any direction. There is never a purpose, never.
The characters are, for the most part, unlikeable. I could not bond/empathize with a single one of them.
I should add that I am really not a big fan of film plots where all characters always make bad decisions, without exception and also without any learning outcome. The character development in this film is absolutely missing. Gone.
I don't think I've ever felt so much disappointment about a film ever in my life. I am deeply disgusted.
Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017)
A piece of art
An unpopular opinion, indeed. When I first looked upon this thread, I was honestly shocked by the amount of people who are bashing this movie, claiming it is the worst one of the franchise and that it "killed Star Wars". I believe the sole reason why many hate this installment is that it is different from what we've seen before. Star Wars fans are well-known for their incapability to accept new ideas, or to look past the original three movies. That is why so many enjoyed The Force Awakens, for it was a cheap copy of the original. The Last Jedi, on the other hand, features a whole new approach, which non-fanboy fans will find more than entertaining. The sheer amount of symbolism and recurrent elements in this movie make it much more that a regular Star Wars. The numerous plot twists were among my favorite things about this movie, including the "much-hated" reveal of Rey's identity. Fans are used to this childish mindset that things are supposed to happen a certain way. She uses the Force so powerfully, than she MUST be a Skywalker. She speaks in a British accent, therefore she MUST be a Kenobi (or Palpatine). What they do not realize is that...the Galaxy is huge. Trillions upon trillions of sentient, force-sensitive beings. I, personally, really enjoyed the fact that Rey was shown to be a "nobody", proving therefore that the Force is not tied up to bloodlines, but can be found anywhere in the universe, even in the most unexpected places. This is, actually, the whole point of this movie, along with symbolically suggesting to not keep looking back, but rather forward. The originals exist, were amazing and will always be there. But, it is time for us to move on, and add new, wonderful concepts and ideas never explored before to the Star Wars universe.
