Oh, Jupiter Ascending, what a glorious mess you are. This science-fiction adventure film is not without its positives, it even is a film that is hard to really despise, though it still is the least successful vision from the directors.

The result is a truly stunning piece of ar...
There still could only be one film that takes the top spot on this ranking and it was always going to be The Matrix. It is a film that still remains as refreshing and audacious as when it first came out. From the manner in which it questioned our reality to the bonkers action sequences, there is nothing that had been like it when it came out and no...
