No 1 star movies this year, yet...

If anyone's wondering, here's my personal rating method:
5 stars - Loved it!
4 stars - Liked it, maybe thought it wouldn't be this good.
3 stars - Mostly good, maybe better or worse than expected.
2 stars - Some redeeming qualities, but wouldn't watch again.
1 star - Complete waste of time.

Huh, I went with what IMDB says is the release year, but I guess The Lobster and The Invitation could be counted as 2016 movies too.

People watch this many movies in one year? Jesus.

For me:

Deadpool: 3 stars.
Batman/Superman: 3 stars
Captain America Civil War: 4 1/2 stars
X-men Apocalypse: 3 stars
Star Trek Beyond: 3 1/2 stars
TMNT 2: 2 stars
Suicide Squad: 3 stars


I haven't seen Star Wars Rogue one yet, I won't get to see it until sometime in January.

Yeah they weren't released in the US until 2016 although they premiered at film festivals in early 2015.

Had to include The VVitch: A New-England Folktale too, because it was released in both UK and Finland this year and I saw it in both.

Let's not forget Green Room, either.

I usually watch about 3 Hollywood movies a year give or take.

BatmanvSuperman 4/5 - It has flaws but I liked it a lot
TMNT:OOTS 3/5 - A little on the kiddie side but I still enjoyed it

And I think that's it, I'm planning on watching Rogue One this week but everyone I know already saw it so I guess I'll go alone haha. I also watched around 4 independent at foreign film festivals but I don't really remember their names at least two of them were very good, another was good and one I didn't like as much.

edit:

now that I saw rogue one 3/5 - not bad but not amazing

I would have added more but I missed seeing a lot due to being 'do I/don't I' over them. Also avoided some films altogether.

Adding (Kiss Kiss) because I recently saw it in theaters, and I love that movie.

I thiiiink the only 2016 movies I saw were OOTS & SS.

TMNT 2: 1 star. It was in some ways better than its predecessor, & in some ways worse, but they both fail to meet my standards for a turtle flick.

Suicide Squad: 4 stars. I'd have given it 5 if they didn't butcher the Joker/Harley stuff in the editing phase. Should've kept their relationship an abusive one. Really tight otherwise.

I'm genuinely surprised how many people here didn't see Batman/Superman, Captain America Civil War, X-men Apocalypse, Star Trek Beyond, Star Wars Rogue One, or Suicide Squad.

Always thought this forum was filled with comic book and movie buffs.

I dunno, but a lot of the folks who did fit that category left ages ago.

Personally, I'm getting sick of comic book/franchise movies outside of Star Wars. I didn't even bother with Doctor Strange or SS.

Some of these movies are worth a watch just through digital rentals or online. Most movies are about 2 hours, and they're a pretty easy way to kill time late at night if you have nothing else to do.

After adding Office Christmas Party to the list, I've seen 22 movies in theaters this year. Three of them I've went to see a second time.

Forgot to add Daddy's Home to the list. How could I?
