Ready player one.

That has to be one of the cringiest movies I've seen, is tries so hard, too hard with it's "WE LOVE YOU NERD, YOU'RE SO COOL FOR PLAYING GAMES AND GETTING THIS 80S REFERENCE" message and the whole "corporation bad, the people good" narrative seems written for toddlers... The fan service feels cheap and adds nothing to the story.

Finally, they trying to make the people believe that very attractive girl with a barely visible red tint spot on her face is "ugly"... Like wtf?

Yet it received decent reviews plus being one of the most successful movies of that year.

Ugh yes I have a disdain for these movies.

"Have you seen captain costume, petty crime bat vigilante, and other rich guy vs alien probably and evil lady?"

"Yeah I saw the first one. Was lame."

I want a serious super hero movie where the villains fucking wreck them lol

The only good super hero movie is Mystery Men.

Unbreakable, The Incredibles, Chronicle, Logan, I may even defend Super.

Came to mention Unbreakable, and I can stand behind your list in general. Unbreakable came around right before or contemporaneous with the uprising of comic book movies, with Spiderman a la Tobey and X-Men with Tiny Jackman, versus the Huge Jackedman we know today. And this includes everything that came after them.

Unbreakable was a nice homage to the whole genre while being it's own original story. And it came out at a time that I loved Bruce Willis (currently have a 14 year old cat named after him) and Shymalan had just wowed us, so it all just landed perfectly.

Unrelated to the thread here, but Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, and Signs was a solid, fun three-film run.
