The year has only just begun, and IGN has already awarded 13 movies an 8 out of 10 or higher. It's a great start to a promising year in film, and hopefully an indicator of what moviegoers (and streamers) can expect throughout 2022.
To keep track of this year's best new releases, we've compiled a list of every movie released in 2022 that IGN scored an 8 ("great"), 9 ("amazing"), or 10 ("masterpiece").
