Alien Covenant is far too high (err low?). If Covenant were on fire and if left to burn, it would destroy the entire Alien franchise with it, I wouldn't even put it out. I'd light another match to get it done quicker.
...and I fucking LOVE 1 and 2.
Also, as far as Book of Henry is concerned, I didn't see it but I read the wikipedia synopsis and when we were doing the MA Fantasy Football draft I was recounting said story to a bunch of people who probably thought I was lying. I was not lying about the plot points.

It's just not a good time to be a Naomi Watts fan, is it?  |

Didn't even bother seeing most of those. I thought The Snowman was formulaic but I thought it was more average than anything else, not really a bad movie. Can't argue with The Mummy being on there. Those were the ones I saw.

I only watch movies I think I'll enjoy or that are relevant from a critical/awards standpoint, so I usually steer clear of the movies that typically end up in these conversations. Mother! is the only 2017 film I hated. Beauty and the Beast and Alien: Covenant were pretty lame too, but I didn't see anything else last year that deserves a mention. I'm never going to watch The Emoji Movie, The Mummy Returns, King Arthur, etc, or movies like them. Even before the bad reviews, those weren't movies that appealed to me. If a movie looks interesting enough, bad reviews don't always deter me from them. They didn't stop me in 2016 with Triple 9 or last year with Ghost in the Shell, and I enjoyed both of those films.
But yeah, if a movie doesn't look particularly interesting to me, bad reviews are the nails in the coffin. The only way I'd watch a movie like Justice League is if it got a glowing reception.

Triple 9 wasn't a bad movie, but merely a lot of missed opportunities that leave it in a fairly mediocre zone. For instance, the scene were Affleck and co. are raiding the housing unit is spectacularly well shot and directed... but the script does it very few favors when it tries to throw twists and turns in the last act. It probably would have fared better had it been a bit more straight-forward rather than trying to do a "but wait, there's more!" series of back-stabbings and whatnot. |

Actually been quite happy that I have not yet managed to see ten films from 2017 that I hate. We have quite a few matching, and I think Mother is the only one of your list that I've seen that misses mine.
45. Letters from Baghdad
46. Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2
47. Kong: Skull Island
48. Molly's Game
49. The Disaster Artist
50. Alien: Covenant
51. Beauty and the Beast
52. The Mummy
53. Life
54. Transformers: The Last Knight
Bottom three are the only ones I disliked, though was massively disappointed by the 4 above them. The others I liked.

I see a massive lack of The Glass Castle on these lists. That tells me one of two things. Either you guys haven't seen it, which is understandable, or you did and you liked it, in which case, shame on you.

65. Suburbicon
66. Better Watch Out
67. mother!
Those three are in a class of their own when it comes to the biggest piles of shit of 2017. Only The Circle comes close... but at least that was fun to make fun of while I was watching it.

1. Resident Evil: The Final Chapter
2. Rough Night
3. The Assignment
4. The Dinner
5. Hangman
6. The Emoji Movie
7. Little Evil
8. Better Watch Out
9. The Layover
10. The Bye Bye Man
I'd love to be that mad at Amityville: The Awakening, but I just found it so painfully insignificant, I can barely recall it. Though I saw it the same day as Leatherface, which I promise is infinitely worse.

The Bye Bye Man I'd love to be that mad at Amityville: The Awakening, but I just found it so painfully insignificant, I can barely recall it. Though I saw it the same day as Leatherface, which I promise is infinitely worse. The Dinner that bad? looked interesting damn. Yeah, I was really looking forward to it when I heard about it, like it might have been another version of Carnage with a fantastic set of actors that don't get enough love. It's so annoyingly unfocused throughout, going back and forth between rich, petty pieces of shit trying to out-douche each other and their horrible children trying to get away with a heinous crime. What it boils down to is their kids record themselves setting a homeless person on fire and killing them, but they get away with it because the parents think they're kids would never do such a thing despite the fact that it's ON CAMERA, then just abruptly ends with no consequences. Oh, and at one point, for no reason at all, there's a flashback with Gere and Coogan walking through the park, which is abruptly interrupted by the frames changing colors as Stephen Lang begins to narrate about the battle at Gettysburg. ...I don't know why. |

Ahh, I didn't think "Alien: Covenant" was that bad. And "mother!" was excellent. And "The Book of Henry" really isn't that terrible. And "Fifty Shades" is genuinely fun. The rest totally do suck though!
For me (and I am including Russian films that none of you know about):
10. Dance to Death
9. King Arthur: Legend of the Sword
8. Power Rangers
7. Transformers: The Last Knight
6. The Snowman
5. Jeepers Creepers 3
4. To the Bone
3. The Emoji Movie
2. Bright
1. Guardians

From your list I've only seen Mother and I like it a lot, it's probably going to end in my top 10, lol. I really didn't saw movies that you can smell from a distance they're not gonna be very good ( Emoji, Glass Castle ) and yet, I manage to see a few titles that are hideous ( the top 3 ), the other ones just mediocre.
The Discovery
Rodin
In the Fade
1945
The Zookeeper's Wife
The Darkness
Jeannette: The Childhood of Joan of Arc
Valerian
Ingrid Goes West
Molly's Game

68. The Void
69. The Mummy
70. Fist Fight
71. Mayhem
72. Baywatch
73. Leatherface
74. The Babysitter
75. The Bye Bye Man
76. Valley of Bones
77. Rings
Per usual, lots of horrors and comedies. Some of y'all hating on Raw are pissing me off, seeing as it's definitely one of the better examples of both genres we got this year.
