John Carter. I will always insist that it was a good movie badly marketed and given too high a budget that it was all but impossible to make back.

Edge of Tomorrow. Though we're still getting a sequel.

Warcraft. Not amazing, but a decent movie that was a lot of fun.

I liked John Carter, too. It was really neat.

Power Rangers. It would have been cool to have such a diverse blockbuster of young people being super heroes.

Star Trek Beyond because we may not get a fourth movie :(

It did very well in Spain but A Monster Calls was never going to make money in America. Which is a real shame.

Moana because I wanted it to beat Frozen domestically.

Moana has become my second favorite Disney movie after Lion King. It was just so great.

I wish Beyond has done better too because it was the best of the three, IMHO, and felt the most Trek-like.

Same with Moana. It was superior to Frozen in pretty much every way (considering Frozen seemed half finished and rushed to me - it could have been great had they given it another year in development I think) and I was disappointed when it didn't beat it financially.

Beyond did so badly because Into Darkness was so bad, I think a lot of people gave up on the JJ Trek 'verse. Even people that had originally been fans.

I still liked the first one best, but Beyond was okay. I'm... actually okay with there not being a fourth, though, because I'm really starting to think he doesn't know what he's doing and he's just slapping things together to see if they'll work.

I feel the same way regarding Power Rangers. I genuinely liked most of the kids (especially Billy) and I thought they had great chemistry. Shame the movie kinda dragged in a lot of places and that it didn't do so well commercially. I'd love to see at least one sequel.

I think I've replied to you on this matter before, but I'm gonna second Power Rangers.

I went on a whim because I had to get out of the house for a few hours and I enjoyed it so much more than I expected to.

I'll also second Moana because Frozen is enjoyable, but way too overhyped. (I also had a friend who loved it obsessively and was kind of rude about loving it, so I like it a bit less because of that association.)

Dredd and Edge of Tomorrow.

Seconding Dredd.

Seconding Edge of Tomorrow.

Tomorrowland. I initially only went to see it because Hugh Laurie was in it (I am not normally a big Disney fan) and I wound up really liking it.

The latest Ghostbusters because I wanted more of that team.

Serenity because I wanted the 3 movie deal, I let it go a long time ago but at the time I was sad.

And there we are. I'm just surprised it took this long to bring that piece of shit up.

I thought the female Ghostbusters movie was awesome and fun.

Jack the Giant Slayer. It was a solid movie (plus I loved watching Eleanor Tomlinson run around in armor).

Jupiter Ascending. I want so much more of that universe. I have never been so delighted by a movie in all my life.

Ghostbusters 2016. I loved it so much.

Star Trek Beyond. It was a great Trek movie and it restored my faith in the Kelvin timeline after the mess that was ID.

Yeah, I was going to say Jupiter Ascending. I'm not a big Wachowksis fan, and I don't know that any of their movies really benefit from sequels, but that movie was actually very inventive. Sort of fairy-story in space.

Yes, Jupiter Ascending was a blast!

Kubo and the Two Strings. It was such a beautifully animated movie, with a powerful, moving story, if bittersweet.

The Great Wall. It had its problems, especially with trying to meld two very different storytelling styles, but wasn't nearly as bad as the reviews led me to believe. I thought it was visually gorgeous, I really like william, Tovar, General Lin, Strategist Wang and the Young Soldier, and I wanted more adventures in that world.

Ghostbusters 2016. It was so much fun! At least there's hope we may still get a sequel.

Seconding Kubo.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. remake.

Seconding this. For me, it could definitely have gone in the previous thread about movies that ended up being better than you expected.

Fincher's The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. It's one of my favorite movies, and I have yet to stop pining for the sequels that will never come.
