Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)
This film was just okay. It's not the absolute dumpster fire that the "Amazing Spider-Man" movies are, but it doesn't stand up to the first two Sam Raimi films or the MCU films, either. The premise is interesting enough, but the other Spider-Man characters are barely developed and therefore not very interesting. The design on the Kingpin is also completely ridiculous, to the point where he was annoying to even look at.

Avengers: Endgame (2019)
I won't go through the effort of giving a detailed review. As of this writing, this is the highest grossing film of all time, so most people have seen the movie and know what it's all about. All I will say is that this is the most satisfying and joyous moviegoing experience of my entire life, and I can't even fathom it ever being topped.

Paranormal Activity 3 (2011)
This movie personifies why the found footage genre is so stupid. Just to give an example, there's a scene where the main character is literally running for his life from a coven of witches, but he makes sure to have his camera handy and recording the whole time, survival instincts be damned.

Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)
I was really looking forward to this film. Unfortunately, it's pretty lackluster. The much anticipated first meeting between Han and Chewbacca and the story of how Chewie became indebted to Han was underwhelming. Even the much hyped Kessel Run, which we finally got to see after years of hearing about it, was bland and uninspired.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)
To date, this is easily the most polarizing Star Wars film. I enjoy it, and it does have some great action scenes as well as some surprises. There are some flaws however. The entire sequence on the casino planet of Canto Bight felt like it was from the prequels. Additionally, the character of DJ played by Benicio Del Toro was a lazy and contrived plot convenience, and the character of Rose Tico was kind of annoying (nothing against the actress who plays her though, who unfortunately has been unfairly bullied by overzealous fans).
