There seems to be a lot of decent movies out in theaters right now, especially sequels. Can you narrow down some options of the current Box Office hits?
Sure. I see a list for the top movies which are Terminator: Dark Fate, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, Joker, Zombieland: Double Tap, The Addams Family and Doctor Sleep. Is there a particular genre you are interested in?
My friends and I like movies that offer storylines that makes you think and have a connection with the character. Suspense and thrillers are great, we like to be on the edge of our seat.
The new Terminator has almost a 7 star rating on IMDB. Are you familiar with any of the Terminator movies?
Yes. The Terminator franchise seems to be fully stretched out. I don't think it will be interesting compared to when it first came out. I feel as though I can already tell what the story will be, a battle against some sort of cyborg like every other movie.
Zombieland is out now, that also has a decent rating from Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB. It is a comedy sequel of a group battling zombies.
I'm sure it was a great movie because why would there be a sequel. However, I kind of want something a bit more realistic.
How about the Joker?
Maybe, but I don't think it will be as great as the Joker movie with Heath Ledger. He truly brought the character to life and it was kind of scary how well he did.
According to a critic review from Common Sense Media, it is described as being a "ferocious and feral performance by Joaquin Phoenix". Most reviews claim that it was very dark and compelling.
I do think Joaquin Phoenix is a great actor.
As far as most of these reviews go, it seems that he gives a very persuasive performance. I just read a summary of the plot. It seems that you'll be going on a ride with a character, learning about his origins and how he became the way he is. It seems like a chilling and tense movie. Some of the reviews are stating that you're close to diving into the mind of mental illness.
That sounds interesting. You don't see a lot of that going on, mental illness seems to be a very touchy subject. I might be interested in this movie for the purpose that it will make me think.
It certainly does seem to reflect on sensitive issues in today's society. Doesn't sound like your average superhero movie.
I think we will go with the Joker, it sounds like it is up our alley. I'm interested to watch the character arc.
I think the new Joker movie will be a great choice. It was also number one in the box office.
