much like Weapons, i saw Parasite after being exposed to way too much hype. it could never have lived up to my expectations. good movie though.

Don't know what my favorite movie was prior to 2019 but I know I don't think I've seen a better movie since then. Truly incredible film.

About halfway in I was thinking it was just kind of mediocre, but from the moment the old housekeeper shows up to the rich family's house, it goes from zero to 100 quick and is just a wild ride.

Edit: 2019 as a whole was one of the best years for movies in quite a long time.

Parasite
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Jojo Rabbit
Joker
Endgame
Tolkien
Ford v Ferrari
Into the Spiderverse
Peanut Butter Falcon
Toy Story 4
Knives Out

Same, I went in expecting something amazing start to finish due to the hype and the first 30min were kind of meh and then it took off.

Movie was much better on a rewatch and although, I don't think its a top 5 or 10 all time like some claim, its a solid movie and one of the best of the last 10yrs.

Its one of the better movies I have seen in a long time

It hit me in a very hard and emotional way, and the last few minutes left me speechless

i haven't seen it, not on purpose or being opposed to foreign films, just never got to it for some reason.

I'll offer up 2012 as an amazing year as well, not all world beaters:

Place Beyond the Pines
Master
Django Unchained
Silver Lingings Playbook
Avengers
Moonrise Kingdom (one of the weaker WA movies)
End of Watch
Life of Pi
Looper (what lead to a good Knives Out)
Dark Knight Rises
Lincoln
Wreck it Ralph
Skyfall
Dredd
The Impossible
Brave
21 Jump Street
MiB3
Premium Rush
Amazing Spiderman
Hunger Games
John Carter (extremely underrated)

I've tried to watch it a few times, but never get very far. I guess I'll try again.

Parasite is a great movie. Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood should have won best picture.

You forgot 1917. I saw it and OUATIH and Parasite back to back to back and was convinced a new era of great movie making had begun. Then covid hit.

Parasite really is a good movie. And I'm with imyLSUimy 2019 was absolutely without a doubt the last good year of movies we've had.

Movie was trash. Kept looking at buddy, both waiting for something to happen. Then it ends.

Slow burn at first, but the 2nd half gets wild. You should definitely try again.

Parasite was solid

Not his best, though

I did. I finished it. I thought it was just okay. I wanted to like it more, but it just doesn't get there for me.

Fantastic movie. A top 5 movie from the last decade or more for me.
