It is all nice to talk about the films we love, but the feeling of burning hatred is just as special. So why not list your worst films of 2016.
The bad but no surprise: Batman V Superman and Suicide Squad. Not much to say that hasn't been said already. There are some interesting parts in these 2 plus hour piles of muck, but too far inbetween. DC didn't learn anything from Man of Steel and somehow became worse.
The king of mediocre: Civil War, it has good action, a plot that isnt too stupid, and acting that doesnt get embarassing. But outside of one sequence it is just ehhhh. It is about as perfect example of mediocre I can find in film. It passes time for 2 hours but fucking barely. There isnt anything truly terrible about it, but nothing that is worth the time or money put into it either.
The Disappointment: Rogue One. So many directions they could have took this film. It could have been a nitty gritty war film, a fun heist film, or just a traditional star wars film. But it is a half baked mix of all three. With a slog of a first half, underserved characters, and a monumental waste of acting talent, it is my least favorite movie of the year. It kinda pulls out of a rut by the last act, but by then it is too little too late. The damage was already done. It isn't one of the worst films of all time, still has decent visuals and some good action, but that just kinda rubs in the fact of how much better we could have got. Also one of the few films that I was fighting off falling asleep in the theater.
The worst film of the year: Assassins Creed. Just a dull dreary mess. I will have lots more to say elsewhere about this.
