Top Movies - 10 Theatrical Flops of 2016 - Movie Reviews Sites
article2016 Reviews, articleLists, articleSpecials,2016 is coming to an end and just like the previous year, this one had its up and downs, especially if you were looking forward to some of the most hyped sequels, reboots or newest game adaptations.
This is it guys, the end of the year is nearing and so it’s time for me to post my lists of the worst and the best movies I watched in 2016. This year has been a crazy rollercoaster ride movie-wise, as well as professionally for me, so please be aware that I wasn’t able to see everything that came out this year. There are also movies I watched and didn’t have time to review, such as The Conjuring 2, Finding Dory, Sausage Party, Ouija 2, Nocturnal Animals and Moana. Be also aware that since I live in Germany, readers from other regions might recognize movies in my lists that were released in their countries last year, but came out here this year.
I will get rid of the bad ones first; a surprisingly hard list to make, as there had been quite a few turds I saw that could have made it on here. Just as last year, I want to note that this is my personal list and if anyone enjoyed one of the films on it, pleased don’t take it personally; I am not trying to offend anyone's taste in movies, these are simply movies I thought were poorly made! So let’s start straight away with some of the worst movies I sat through in 2016:
10. Suicide Squad - Yes that is right, this comic book adaptation did make it onto my list not only because it disappointed me deeply, but because the end product was really that bad! The whole movie felt like a two-hour-long trailer, with each scene setting up a different popular song. Sadly, it comes as no surprise once you learn that Warner hired a trailer company to make the reshoots and the final theatrical cut. I bought the Blu-ray with the extended cut, hoping that the extra scenes would turn this into a better movie but unlike the Batman v Superman Ultimate Edition, the extra 10 minutes in this film did not change a thing. Here is the link to my complete review: Suicide Squad Review.
9. Daddy’s Home - I am usually a big fan of Will Ferrell comedies and when I heard that he was co-working with Mark Wahlberg again, I was really looking forward to see this on the big screen. Imagine my anger when I came out utterly disappointed by Daddy’s Home. To be fair, the only thing I remember about this movie is that it was clichéd, distasteful and forgetful. There was not much that was redeemable about this comedy, except Ferrell and Wahlberg who are trying to make the best out of a messy script. Interested to read my full review? Here it is: Daddy’s Home Review.
8. Independence Day: Resurgence - Thank you, Roland Emmerich, for nearly murdering my nostalgic memories of one of the most epic blockbusters of my childhood! This mess of a sci-fi flick was the sequel us fans had been waiting for two decades, but it is not the movie that we deserve! I hated everything about this movie, except for Jeff Goldblum’s character, and just when you think that it couldn’t get worse, they whip out a Godzilla-sized alien and the most “in your face” setup to a sequel.

7. Standoff - This film didn’t get a theatrical release in Germany and with good reason! I went to a Blockbuster-like rental store here in Munich to get the Blu-ray and... Oh my God! This was the dullest action-thriller I have seen in a long time. The dialogue is crap and Thomas Jane, as well as Laurence Fishburne, did not even try to give good performances. A shame, as with the right writer and director, this could have been a fantastic psychological thriller instead of the boring and uninspired flick we obtained. In other words, it’s garbage! Here is the link to my full review: Standoff Review.
6. The Brothers Grimsby - Another shabby comedy and proof that Sacha Baron Cohen’s movies are getting worse by the number. At its core, The Brothers Grimsby consists of nothing else than the worst toilet humour and once it makes you laugh, you’ll hate yourself for it for a long time. I was longing for a shower after leaving the theatre, as this comedy’s grotesque humour will leave you feeling violated.

5. Assassin’s Creed - Here it is, my last review of 2016. What the hell happened? How could this have gone so bad? Ubisoft’s game adaptation not only managed to bury the hope I had left for this genre, but what it did is to completely kill any optimism I had left for future game-movies. I hated the cinematography and the colour, the plot made no sense whatsoever, the music was bad, and the acting wooden. The movie should have solely focused on 15th century Spain, instead of the modern age snoozefest that we obtained. Interested to read my full review? Here is the link: Assassin’s Creed Review.
4. Visions - Wow, I have no words to describe how dull and utterly useless this horror flick was. It did have a neat idea but the execution of it was horrible. Isla Fisher, a mediocre actress usually known for her comedic side roles, was cast as lead actress in this paranormal fright film but did not manage to convince once. Needless to say that Visions wasted an hour and twenty-two minutes of my life, which I will never get back! Dare to take a peek at my review? Click on the link: Visions Review.
3. London Has Fallen - Babak Najafi’s sequel to the 2013 Olympus has Fallen, is one of the worst action-thrillers I have seen simply due to the fact that it was utterly disrespectful towards other nations and embraced its xenophobic core message. The movie took itself way too serious and the invulnerability of Gerard Butler’s character didn’t do it any favours either. I will admit that I did enjoy watching London fall into chaos, but that didn’t help save the film from digging its own grave. If you want to know more, here is my full review: London Has Fallen Review.
2. Dirty Grandpa - It seems that extreme profanity is the newest sub-genre in comedy, something I can’t understand at all. While The Brothers Grimsby contained moments that made me laugh, Mazer’s Dirty Grandpa had no intention to be funny or amuse its audience. Instead, it set up a string of discomforting punch lines that were knocked over like domino stones to shock the audience. Zac Efron proved to be a good comedic actor and Robert De Niro is a legend in the film industry, but none of them showed any talent in this deranged comedy.

1. Gods of Egypt - Well done Gerard Butler, you are on my list twice! Yes, that is right, the biggest turd I saw this year in a theatre was this mess of a CGI f*ck fest. Absolutely everything in this fantasy blockbuster went wrong; be it the bad computer imagery, Butler’s over-the-top acting, or the fact that it takes itself way too serious. I am not going to lie, I had fun watching this movie with my friends in the cinema but I enjoyed it for the wrong reasons. Gods of Egypt was so bad that it accidentally turned into comedy, and that is why it is number one on my list. If you want you can read the full review here: Gods of Egypt Review.
Well, this is it. These are the ten films of this year I despised most. Do you agree with my list? What were your worst movie experiences of 2016? Leave a comment below and as always thank you for reading. Don’t forget to give it a thumbs-up and share it with friends and family, if you liked my list. Be also aware that I will post my Top 10 list tomorrow, so keep an eye out for that one.
