2022 has been a rather good year for Hollywood, giving us a great many exciting movies of great quality, with both massive variety as well as a wide range of movies to select from.

Top 5 best movies of Hollywood 2022:

1. The Northman – The most epic take of a man on a quest for vengeance, the story directed by Robert Eggers follows the journey of Viking Prince Amleth as he seeks a bloody revenge on his uncle for murdering his father. True to Norse mythology, The Northman is a no holds barred tale of violence and brutality of epic proportions.

2. The Batman – The first Batman movie based off of the Year One comics, director Matt Reeves brings to light a young Batman who is still crude and inexperienced. In one of Robert Pattison’s finest performances, Matt Reeves brings the detective angle of the Dark Knight from the comics and shows him as a superhero in the making.

3. Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio – One of the Guillermo Del Toro’s best directed films yet, Pinocchio is the greatest take on the childhood character yet, offering a both fantastical and yet realistically dark and bitter take, making the story all the more heartwarming and emotional as the world of the wooden boy in 1930’s Fascist Italy is brought to life through incredible use of stop motion animation.

4. Top Gun: Maverick – Picking on the blockbuster hit from 1986, Maverick follows the story of US Navy test pilot Captain Pete “Maverick” Michel 30 years later as he becomes an instructor at his former school, training a bunch of Top Gun graduates for a specialized mission.

5. The Whale – If simplicity and emotional weight had a name then this would be it. Directed by Darren Aronofsky, the film features stellar performances from across the crew but especially Brendan Fraser who pours his heart out in his greatest performance yet of a morbidly obese and isolated man trying to reconnect with his estranged daughter.

Other brilliant noteworthy films: The Menu, The Banshees of Insherin, Elvis, Nope, Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, Everything Everywhere All At Once
