Ryan Reynolds came pretty strong this year with two successful outings, i.e., Free Guy and Red Notice. Speaking of the former, the movie was followed an open-world video game where Ryan was a character. The movie once again proved that Reynolds is just the guy for a comedy-action flick and the movie, according to IMDb is sitting at a cool 7.2. It’s worth a watch with an unexpected cameo.

Director James Gunn tried his hands on a DC project this year with The Suicide Squad. While fans had their issue with the movie and Gunn’s over the top direction style, one thing they couldn’t explain was the action. Harley Quinn particularly stood out with her action sequences making the movie fairly interesting.

No Time To Die (7.4)

No Time To Die was a highly anticipated movie because it was Daniel Craig’s last movie as James Bon. True, the execution could have been better but once again, it’s a James Bond movie and the action is, as usual, something to look out for. It left most of the fans satisfied, but some of course were unsatisfied with the overall movie.

Nobody (7.4)

It’s a big deal when you have the same numbers as No Time To Die. Bob Odenkirk certainly delivered with Nobody and the action was above average for sure. Some people definitely called it a John Wick rip off but that wasn’t the case.

The Last Duel (7.5)
