The Jungle Book is the most recent live action remake for Disney; they previously remade Cinderella and are currently working on Beauty and The Beast. Without a doubt, The Jungle Book is the biggest success the studio has had with this model so far. Breathtaking visuals, fantastic voice casting, heartwarming moments and one very capable performance by a young actor had critics and audiences universally praising the film.
2. Zootopia
Quote:
Some “kid’s movies” keep the parents in the audience happy by weaving in pop-culture references, double entendre, or winking parody elements. Zootopia goes another direction, creating a rich world that mirrors ours in important and relatable ways. Much like last year’s Inside Out, Zootopia is a film that – despite being animated – is truly for everyone.
3. Finding Dory
Quote:
Finding Dory allowed for more exploration and development of characters that we already loved, and were happy to be revisiting. The film didn’t stop there; we also met wonderful new characters like Ed O’Neill’s Hank the Octopus, or a pair of Sea Lions voiced by Idris Elba and Dominic West (a Wire reunion in Finding Dory, of all places?). Circling back to our review of the film, Finding Dory transcends the territory of quality sequels, instead standing alongside classic Pixar films on its own merit entirely.
4. Captain America: Civil War
Quote:
Civil War exemplified what is great about the Marvel Cinematic Universe, drawing viewers into a very real and dramatic conflict without sacrificing the bright and funny elements that make us want to spend nearly three hours with those characters in the first place. As we saw with at least one other disappointing superhero film this year, that tonal balance is difficult to maintain. The film showed us that superhero stories can be just as compelling without the world hanging in the balance, and it featured a number of entries in to the pantheon of MCU action sequences. Oh, and Spiderman was there – and for the first time in a long time, he was awesome!
5. 10 Cloverfield Lane
Quote:
10 Cloverfield Lane is not a monster story, or an alien story despite taking place in that universe. Instead, it is the story of a girl who crashes her car, only to wake up in the bomb shelter of a bizarre caretaker who will not under any circumstances let her leave, because of an alleged chemical outbreak.
We really don’t want to go in to greater detail, because the core mystery is the film’s crowning achievement. The ground is constantly shifting. What the audience knows to be true is all the sudden false, and vice versa. The whole thing is driven by fantastic acting performance, most notably John Goodman who made our skin crawl as the owner (ruler) of the bomb shelter.
6. Deadpool
Quote:
Fans have been clamoring for a quality big screen Deadpool since… whatever this was. While the character is well loved – if not as mainstream as his Marvel cohorts – the handling of Deadpool on film presented unique challenges. Even if Ryan Reynolds was the perfect choice for Deadpool’s hilariously psychotic persona (he was), the film still had to perfectly balance a superhero tone with R-rated subject matter and true comedy with a truly dark origin story, all while servicing legions of dedicated fans without alienating newcomers to the brand. It worked.
7. The Conjuring 2
8. The Nice Guys
9. The Witch
10. Hail, Caesar
11. Green Room
12. Keanu
13. Everybody Wants Some!!
14. Eddie the Eagle
15. The Lobster
