Hello Followers!!! Well, it's finally here. Day 365 of the year 2017. It has been a hectic year filled with tons of movies that were big hits, big disappointments, and moments that defined the year. We are merely hours away from stepping into the new year but before we begin day one of 2018, Let's reflect on the best moments and best movies of 2017.
Top Takeaways For 2017
The simian species brought it this year with two incredibly entertaining films that thrilled and moved audiences. Kong Skull Island brought blockbuster level excitement and a renewed interest in the iconic king of monsters. Andy Serkis delivered one of the year's best performances with an emotionally satisfying conclusion to the Planet of the Apes trilogy and solidifying Caesar as one of the most iconic heroes in modern cinema. An incredible show of drama and spectacle that was truly an absolute joy to watch.
Who says boys got to have all the fun being on the bad side. In a year where women are changing the game in Hollywood, 2017 brought some standout performances with some fun movies featuring some menacing and badass ladies playing the villain role. Just goes to show that females can be just as good at playing the baddie as the boys.
Over the past few years, the super hero genre has had a love hate relationship with the critical audience. However, this year's crop of superhero films have garnered praise from both critics and audiences to a universal reception that puts a number of these movies among the top of the best films list. Marvel, Fox, and DC came strong in giving moviegoers some of the best cinematic experiences of 2017.
When an actor commits to a role, it is never known how long he or she will play it. But for actors Hugh Jackman and Mark Hamill, their recent portrayals of Logan and Luke Skywalker respectively not only hold the honor of being the best and most acclaimed performances of 2017, but it also shows how their body of work has brought them full circle in their craft. Truly two legendary performers who should be celebrated for all they have accomplished in their incredible careers.
Now before I announce my top five films of 2017, here are my five honorable mentions
After a decent first film and a lackluster sequel, Pixar delivered a worthy third installment to the Cars franchise that was fun and emotionally grounded. Hard to believe that a story about a talking race car would bring such a relatable and relevant narrative about taking control of your own destiny and not letting others decide where your next step takes you.
Kong Skull Island was a film that took me by surprise in delivering a high octane and thrilling action fest that breathed fresh life into the character and a satisfying second installment in the Legendary Pictures Monsterverse. With Kong taking on Godzilla in a number of years, the world of monsters will be one to watch on the pop culture scene as these two legends prepare to clash in the coming battle of the ages.
With 8 films involving cars, explosions, and submarines, The Fate of the Furious brought a darker and more emotional experience that pushed one of its most iconic heroes to his emotional brink and gave fans one of the franchise's best antagonist. The Fast franchise continues to send it into overdrive and bring all the over the top action and fun that fans come to expect.
The lovable a-holes kicked off the summer movie season with a fun and entertaining follow-up to the 2014 phenomenon. Filled with laughs, feels, and thrills, GOTG Vol 2 brought fun energy and great heart to a sci-fi odyssey in the MCU. Now the wait begins as we prepare for the Guardians to take on a more powerful and vicious threat to the Marvel heroverse
The god of thunder lived up to his title with one of the most fun and hilarious installments in the Marvel Cinematic portfolio to date. Taika Waititi gave fans a real crowd pleaser that brought intense action, big laughs, and show stopping spectacle in the bold reinvigoration of the Thor franchise. Thor is now all geared up to join his fellow Avengers in their next big team up in 2018.
And Now The Time Has Come To Share With You My...
Remember Me
Rarely does a film come that is a mixture of breathtaking visuals, beautiful music, and pristine storytelling. Coco happens to be one of those films. Pixar masterfully delivers an emotionally rich and culturally authentic film that celebrates life and shows that a family's love is always present even when they're gone. One of the best films in the Pixar library and an instant classic in every aspect.

Spidey Swings Home
Franchise fatigue is common in modern Hollywood. Too much of a good thing is possible in this age of mandated studio franchises. However, Spider-Man Homecoming manages to become an incredibly fun and engaging entry into the Spider-Man cinematic spectrum. Giving fans a new take on the character that they can root for as well as a story that is hilarious and a good time from start to finish, Spider-Man Homecoming is a more than welcome addition to the MCU and one of the Standout Super Hero films of the year.

God Killer
Warrior, Princess, and a long overdue hero debut. DC films broke new ground with releasing the summer blockbuster phenomenon that inspired viewers and redefined the genre. Gal Gadot and director Patty Jenkins brought one of the most beloved heroes to life in such an important way creating a hero that stands for the goodness and compassion humanity is capable of. A truly fun and well structured hero's tale that shows that love is the true key to saving the world.

Apes Forever Strong
Some heroes are born into greatness. Others by chance. Who knew an orphaned chimpanzee would become one of the most iconic heroes of the 21st century. The third installment of the Planet of the Apes franchise brought the story of Caesar to an emotional close capping off a memorable trilogy in the process. Beautifully designed and engagingly provocative, War for the Planet of the Apes is a visual and cinematic marvel worthy of legend and praise.

The Way You Think
There are movies that challenge you to look beyond what has come before and see things in a new light. I just didn't expect to see it in a galaxy far far away. The eighth installment of the Star Wars saga brought game changing elements to the table that redefined for the better what a Star Wars movie was capable of being. Filled with resident themes, layered depth, and a thematic complexity not seen in a Star Wars film since 1980, The Last Jedi has a beauty and deep brilliance to it that some have noticed but others have yet to see. I believe when it's all set and done, Star Wars The Last Jedi will be just what the franchise needed to establish a new and prosperous era that will maintain the franchise's relevance for years to come.
