My top 5 best movies of 2025

    Okay folks, the end of the year is here! You know what that means, time for me to tell you what my top 5 best movies of the year are. Now just to be clear, these are movies that I've reviewed based on my own opinions on them, and my own opinions only. Your opinions on these movies may be different, but again, their mine and mine only. For the record, I'll provide links to each review of these movies.

1. Regretting You

Release Date: October 24, 2025

Review: Missouri Movie Lover: Regretting You

    As I Stated in my written review, I thought Mckenna Grace shined in this film and stole the show! This was a really good movie, and thought it should be number 1!

 2. A Minecraft Movie

     Release Date: April 4, 2025

     Review: Missouri Movie Lover: A Minecraft Movie

     Okay When I saw this movie, I thought it would be a movie-going experience that I would never forget. The theater was sold out, everyone was shouting at the screen, and I heard that the movie became a social media phenomenon (let's put it that way)! When I saw the movie, I thought it was gonna be a box office hit.

3. Lilo and Stitch

    

    Release Date: May 23, 2025

    Review: Missouri Movie Lover: Lilo and Stitch

    When I first saw the original Lilo and Stitch in theaters back in 2002, I obviously didn't know that I would be seeing a remake of it 23 years later, in 2025. I honestly thought it was one of the best live action remakes Disney has done. I think this version has a better ending than the original.

4. The King of Kings

    Release Date: April 11, 2025

    Review: Missouri Movie Lover: The King of Kings

     I thought I'd add this one to the list is because it was a remarkable animated telling of the story of Jesus Christ. I don't think there's been one that animated, and this good since The Prince of Egypt. So, again I thought I'd add this film to the list.

5. Wicked for Good

Release Date: November 21, 2025

Review: Missouri Movie Lover: Wicked For Good

Okay, even though it's not as good as 2024's Wicked, but I think the continuation of that first film, it does start out slow but does pick up toward the end. 

Avatar: Fire and Ash

 Rated: PG-13

 Runtime: 3 hours 17 minutes

 Release Date: December 19, 2025

 Director: James Cameron

 Starring: Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver

    In this latest Avatar Adventure, while grappling with grief after Neteyam's death, Jake and Neytiri's family encounter a new, aggressive tribe, the ash people, who are led by the fiery Varang, as the conflict on pandora escalates and anew moral focus emerges.

    What do I think about this movie? Well let me tell you this, I think James Cameron did it again on the visuals! Story wise, I think it starts off very slow, but the ending was really good. I saw it in 3D, and I think Mr. Cameron did again on the 3D again as well. So go see it in 3D if you can. Parents, if you want to be more cautious about this film when it comes to the amount of violence, language, etc. go ahead and click
here before going. Although I did find that the language (I think), is leaning toward the rough side. So, there's that.

Final Grade:

C+
