 2016? So what did ya'll think of the year overall?
I say yay. Both Disney and the horror genre had career years that made up for big disappointments like 2oolander and Warcraft. Comedy could have had a better year too, producing only one great film in The Nice Guys. And I haven't seen a ton of oscar bait yet, but Arrival and Hell or High Water have the season off to a good start for me.

Re: 2016? For the most part I liked 2016's batch of films, although most of the blockbusters were merely decent as opposed to great. There were few films I really loved but there were fewer stinkers that I watched.

Re: 2016? Overall yay, though it seemed like there was a six month (!) stretch where I didn't want to see a single movie in theaters. The year as a whole was severely backloaded, but the quality at the end of the year redeemed it.

Re: 2016? At least as far as animation goes, this was one of the best years in recent memory.
Zootopia, Moana, Kubo and Dory were all excellent films.

Re: 2016? Thanks to the last few months of the year - very good.
I went to the theater only 10 times last year - but went 4 times in the first week of 2017 to catch La La Land, Hacksaw Ridge, Nocturnal Animals and Allied - what a run of films. Also managed to see Hell or High Water, Nerve, Weiner an Don't Breath at home. Trying to catch up!

Re: 2016? Overall, yay. Though I don't believe just three terms can be used. I'd go with a five-term system:
Amazing
Great
Good
Meh
Bad
And 2016 would fit firmly in the "good" bracket with potential to climb into great if a few more movies reach the A- or A level of the ones I've not yet seen. But if no other movies do, then it's still good for "good".
