Zootopia was good aswell but it can't match the creativity/originality of IO.. IO and Zootopia are the distant top 2 of the 2010s' for me. I'd give IO a slight edge over Zoo. Zoo's obviously clever and fun but a bit in your face about its social commentary which is still nice but I think it could've been a little more delicately done and it would not age as well as IO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's says something like The Fugitive but with a bit more "mystery". Have you ever seen Angel Heart? It's not anywhere close to what the fugitive is but it's definitely a good mystery thriller kind of movie Dead again with Emma Thompson and Kenneth Branagh is good. And if you want to try to find a bit of an obscure one see if you can find a movie called shattered with Tom Berenger and Greta scacchi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrestrial Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I need too long to write and also too long to read was written during the time I typed,... I'd post some less posts, if I had seen some posts in time. Or had to throw away some less, before posting. What I always want to remind the not so used to OS members: all countries have also local films... and other countries beside local or US films. It is not seldom that a local film is #1 of the year, decade, or all time. Cinema market increases, but local plus other countries films counts too = as I am assuming some near future discussions or fast comments about e.g. SW R1's OS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimmyRiggins Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Ugh, WB should have never have given it an awards friendly release date, puts everyone's expectations sky high. The reviews aren't even bad, they're mixed, and most of them hint that there's a lot left in the editing room (I can imagine, it being WB, and the movie supposed to come out in October 2017 until they test screened it and suddenly it was coming out this year) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAR Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 If someone asked me to pick three animated films for the 2010's I'd watch. How to Train Your Dragon Inside Out Wreck It Ralph Zootopia would likely be just outside that list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 If Affleck could survive Gigli and Jersey Girl then Live by Night not doing so well critically shouldn't be a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit like Clint Eastwood, he had two back to back flops with Invictus and Hereafter but bounced back with American Sniper and Sully. As long as Affleck brings them a huge hit with The Batman, they'll let them direct whatever he likes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
