Alright, I might as well start doing these. To note...
These are Films from 2016 that I reviewed. I'll do a separate one on Films reviewed in 2016 that were from different times- be they 2015 or 1983.
These are ONLY ones that I've reviewed in some way, so some bad stuff may avoid being here by me avoiding a Review. I'm looking at you Sniper: Special Ops.
To see any Reviews separately, just use the '2016' Tag.
10. Mark of the Witch: Interesting start, but then it just devolves into a Music Video thing for the next 20 minutes. After that, there is no salvaging this Rob Zombie wannabe-Film.
9. Jeruzalem: While I don't like Found Footage Films per se, I always hope that they turn out to be good. This one has a unique Setting and feel, but is just a big pile of cliche. Switch out the Google Glass for the Camera and nothing changes.
8. She Kills: Bad Horror Comedy. Just dumb.
7. Arrowhead: I almost picked Cyborg X, but that at least had some interesting Action. This one just feels like someone's dense, unsold Sci-Fi Book turned into a Film.
6. Suicide Squad: To note- I expected Sinister Squad to suck, so no disappointment. In this case, the Film made a ton of money, but is just a bizarre mish-mash of Stories, Tone and Action.
5. Space Cop: This is the antithesis of Kung Fury in pretty much every way. Some of that is intentional- the Cop is fat and bad at his job-, but some of it isn't- it looks cheap, it isn't funny. Such a letdown!
4. Phantasm- Ravager: After nearly 2 Decades, it had to be at least complete, right? No, this one continues to leave things odd and open, despite no chance of a follow-up in the wake of Scrimm's death. What a long-delayed mess.
3. Yoga Hosers: Sorry, Kevin. I know what he was going for here and maybe it worked more for others. As a long-time fan, it just felt dumb for dumb's sake and didn't do anything for me in the long run.
2. Swiss Army Man: I didn't get in on the hype. First, it was talked about as some terrible mess. Later, it became a Film that 'the cool people' liked. For me, it was a Short Film that didn't work at 90 minutes.
1.Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice: Is it terrible? No. Is it unredeemable? Not quite. Should it have been 2 Films that were expanded on their own? Yes. Was it a disappointment after 50 years of build-up? Hell yes.
I look forward to any blowback...although I doubt it will be from Arrowhead fans. All 4 of you probably don't read the Site.
See you next List.
