2016 - rate the movies you saw this year

This was a fantastic year for movies, if not for anything else. Let's rate every movie that were released in 2016, on the scale of 1-5 stars.


***** 5 STARS *****
Arrival
Captain America: Civil War
Captain Fantastic
Daddy's Home
Deadpool
Finding Dory
Hunt for the Wilderpeople
Justice League vs. Teen Titans
Kung Fu Panda 3
Rogue One
Sausage Party
Swiss Army Man (MOVIE OF THE YEAR)
The Greasy Strangler
Zootopia


**** 4 STARS ****
10 Cloverfield Lane
Bad Moms
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (extended cut, not theatrical)
Doctor Strange
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
Green Room
Grimsby
Keanu
Kubo and the Two Strings
Lights Out
Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates
Office Christmas Party
Star Trek Beyond
Suicide Squad
The Jungle Book
The Nice Guys
The VVitch: A New-England Folktale
X-Men: Apocalypse


*** 3 STARS ***
1974
Batman: Bad Blood
Ghostbusters
Independence Day: Resurgence
Pete's Dragon
Storks
The Conjuring 2
The Lobster
The Neon Demon
Tonight She Comes


** 2 STARS **
31
Holidays
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows
The Invitation
The Boy
The Shallows


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.

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.

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.

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.
