First, the Comic Book Movies:

Avengers: Infinity War was definitely the highlight, and easily my favorite film of 2018.
Black Panther surprised me by living up to the public hype. It was amazing, and my only problem was the dodgy CGI in the final fight.
Ant-Man and the Wasp was also dearly loved. Wasp was great, and I loved how there was no primary antagonist or final fight... just a big ol' heist.
Aquaman pleased me greatly by living up to my own expectations. Had some problems with the CGI final battle (typical of the DCEU), but it surprised me with a couple of twists and I loved all the characters.
Deadpool 2 bored me to tears. I turned it off about 20 minutes in. Extremely derivative, predictable, and cliche. Breaking the fourth wall to make jokes about it doesn't change it. Sucked.

Next, the Sequels:

Solo was a'ight. Nothing terrible, nothing amazing. Wouldn't have seen it on my own but a buddy wanted to. Star Wars ain't my thing.
Incredibles 2 was disappointing. I liked the Parr family, but the villains were lackluster and all of the new heroes really, really annoyed me. Definitely not worth the wait of 14 years.
Fantastic Beasts 2 was bad. Not quite as bad as the reviews, but it wasn't good. Not even Kowalski could save the film.

As for the Adaptations:

Annihilation bored me. I couldn't finish the movie.
Rampage was stupid and terrible, but I finished it (with the help of a bottle of coconut rum).
Christopher Robin was a letdown; it felt like a more boring and more depressing version of the original Mary Poppins. The stuffed animals were great, though!

And the Originals:

Game Night and Tag were both fantastic, some of my favorite movies this year! Both surprised me with their heart and their plot twists, and I laughed all the way through.
Peppermint was a movie a buddy wanted to watch; but hey, Jennifer Garner was fantastic in it.
A Quiet Place was full of tremendous acting, but the movie itself was stupid. I'm sorry, no human being goes more than 48 hours without making enough noise to die. No humans should have survived. But hey, Emily Blunt!

And movies I didn't get to and am waiting to borrow from Redbox...

The House with a Clock in Its Walls
Venom
The Nutcracker and the Four Realms
Ralph Breaks the Internet
Mary Poppins Returns

There's always the "Elizabeth Warren", "Cuckolding", or "New Year's Eve Stabbing" threads if you'd like something with less homework!

I have to cheat a little, because I just saw Bird Box and I can't wait for another year to give it 5 stars. One of the best horror movies I have seen.

I. Infinity War. It was good to see Bucky back in action. Brolin made a decent Thanos happen.

II. [Live action] Beauty and The Beast. I liked this movie more than I thought I would.

III. Venom. Parts of it could have been handled better, but it's an alright movie.

IV. Black Panther.

V. The Predator.

VI. Ghost Rider.

VII. Jurassic Park: Fallen Kingdom

VIII. Rampage.

IX. Halloween (The 2018 version)

X. Terminator : Genisys

Honorable mentions go to:

The Netflix Mowgli movie, Frozen, and every other movie that I cannot remember at the current moment.

Write a 10-page report on how sexual education and criminal law affect our society in this post-modern post-Obama age. I want it on my desk by next week.

All movies count. To me most of them are foreign anyway.
