an overview (incl. short comments) of movies from 2016 imo worth watching (may include earlier movies, whose scene bdrips/dvdrips got released in 2016) - afaik this is 'as good as it gets' this year
action:
Hardcore Henry (2015) worth watching only for the good fps idea, the negative: large dosage of shaky cam, amateurish execution
adventure:
The Revenant (2015) rather average outcome, nice cinematography/scenery, decent acting, boring story, unbelievable events, overlong
animated:
Storks (2016) decent, positive vibe, high cuteness level
comedy:
Independence Day: Resurgence (2016) so bad its good, with many silly scenes, thus ends up placed here in the comedy category
The Brothers Grimsby (2016) watchable only for a few gross/hilarious scenes (like: what happened to harry potter, sharon stallone 3 or 'up the elephant's'), other than that its complete garbage
Zoolander 2 (2016) watchable only for a few hilarious scenes (like: bieber intro/selfie scene, zoolander's school collapse, awfully scarred face scene), other than that its complete garbage
drama:
Creed (2015) problematic but still quite watchable, mostly due to stallone keeping it from falling apart (guess he can make rocky movies in his sleep)
fantasy:
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) visually attractive, many nonsensical elements, twisted and wrong character motivations, should be called 'The Dark Knight vs. Superman'
Captain America: Civil War (2016) visually attractive, many nonsensical elements, twisted and wrong character motivations
Gods of Egypt (2016) surprisingly enjoyable ride with characters from egyptian mythology, the negatives: uneven cgi, thin story, amateurish acting
Warcraft (2016) surprisingly enjoyable fantasy world, the negatives: confusing script, amateurish acting, borrows from other similar movies, verdict: best movie based on a video game so far
fighting:
-
horror:
-
other: (documentaries)
Where to Invade Next (2015) a very good, relaxed and humorous michael moore docu pointing out how countries ought to learn from each other and implement sensible solutions to their common problems
Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party (2016) explores major connections of the usa democratic party with things like: slavery, exploitation of the native americans, racial and sexual segregation, eugenics, social engineering, big government, etc. - the negative: doesn't do the same regarding the republican party
romance:
-
SF:
The Martian (2015) rather average outcome, decent cgi and acting, overlong, unconvincing story, similar problems like 'gravity' or 'interstellar'
thriller:
Spectre (2015) solid, though somewhat uneven return to form
Jason Bourne (2016) solid, though predictable sequel
western:
Garden of Evil (1954) solid western, witty dialogue, good chemistry, though low on action, more into exploring human motivation/desires
