Kubo and the Two Strings (2016)
Slapping American norms onto a Japanese setting. Isn’t that what they call “cultural appropriation”?
Category:Genre: Action & Adventure
Suicide Squad (2016)
Watch it for Will Smith and Margot Robbie, because everything else here isn’t very good or memorable.
Star Trek Beyond (2016)
This is one birthday celebration for the Star Trek franchise. Despite not being a fan of the original, I’m still entertained.
Ghostbusters (2016)
This is one largely unremarkable movie that will forever be burdened by the legacy of the brand and the overreaction surrounding its release.
The Legend of Tarzan (2016)
The movie is so-so, but they put the wrong guy in the lead role.
Independence Day 2: Resurgence (2016)
Is it too early to declare this one the worst stinker of the year?
Warcraft (2016)
This one isn’t as bad as I feared, thank goodness. While it could be better, it’s unexpectedly pleasant and painless to watch.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (2016)
This movie is the best kind of apology one can give for the dire thing that came before it.
X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)
Ugh, why are these studios bending over backwards to give Marvel Studios the crown when it comes to superhero movies?
Captain America: Civil War (2016)
This is easily one of the most brainless, ridiculous, and yet most entertaining popcorn flicks in a while.
