Well that list is pretty shocking indictment of films this year if that’s the top ten!
How can a film that is rated 5.8 on average, out of 10, get in the top ten rated movies? What was No Time to Die rated? Also how is it rated? As the films are not rated in the rating order implied by the list description.
Free Guy was one of my favourite films this year.
I’m wondering now whether cinemas will close again. Im booked to see Spider-Man No Way Home on Wednesday but will they allow crowds of people to events like that?

The latest I’ve heard is that wearing masks is to be compulsory in English cinemas again, which seems like a sensible precaution until most people are triple-vaccinated.

I don't think the ratings matter, it's about popularity. Probably based on how many have voted for them. Half that list is utter garbage.
Still a pretty sad indictment. Not very good films make all the money. (Not counting dune in that).
But it's the way cinema has gone. It's more about the experience than watching a good story. We all have large tv's at home where we can watch good films at our leisure. To get your bum off the chair and go to watch in the cinema means an event film. Large explosions, cgi. Doesn't have to be great but domething the whole family can watch. Superhero films especially marvel you know what you are going to get.
The sad bit is that other films struggle to get made. It seems now a days it's only small indie films on a tiny budget or huge blockbusters with nothing much in between. Streaming services trying to produce content are filling the gap a bit though.

Yup everything on that list is part of an established brand / franchise, which is why Disney love their MCU knowing that they can churn out any old tosh safe in the knowledge that comic book fans will flock to watch it nonetheless.
No wonder Ridley Scott has been throwing his toys out the pram about how poorly The Last Duel did at box office, the screening I went to at Odeon was packed but it was only showing once for the whole week.
Aside from Last Night In Soho and The French Dispatch the only other original films I can recall watching up cinema this year are Nobody, Free Guy and Nomadland.
Thankfully my local Odeon had Luxe upgrade last year and has leather recliners in every screen plus laser projectors, so it’s been busy every time I’ve caught a film there but other multiplexes in my neck of the woods feel like I’m stepping back in time to the days of watching a VHS rental from Blockbuster the interiors and AV systems are so antiquated.

I need to Google The Green Knight in the morning, so I can figure out what I just sat through.
Was it good. I know the story through the legend and heard they had actors play multiple roles and that. Was it good or a bit ott on the artistic bit?

Well watchable. I wasn't aware of the poem, so you'll understand it better.

A few times it threatened to be good, but was disappointing and odd in places... I read up on it afterwards to try and work out WTF and it appears they did use the poem a LOT as the source and indeed, the poem has some crappy bits. Could have been a much better film if they had made a proper story out of it that made sense.
