2018
did not have a shortage of bad movies. I condensed this because while
there were only seven Best Movies Of 2018 I could have had close to
twenty bad ones. I decided to add Netflix movies because they are not
straight up made for TV movies. They are for real big budget movies
being made with actual actresses and actors so they made the cut...in
terrible ways. Seriously, I have four movies from Netflix on this
list. There were some ho-hum movies that weren't bad enough to make
this list and some that were bad but they seemed like they at least
tried so they didn't make it. These are my choices for Worst Movies
Of The Year 2018. Don't forget that you are super free to disagree
with me. The thoughts of some random ass dude you don't know
shouldn't ruin your day. And don't read end of the year lists and
complain about spoilers.
"In
no world should a movie based around giant ass robots beating the
hell out of alien creatures from another dimension be dull and feel
long but Pacific Rim: Uprising found a way to do it through a bad
story, questionable technology, and super underdeveloped characters."
I wish
this movie had not been made. Even when I saw the trailer I noticed
how bad it looked compared to the first film but chalked it up to
maybe it not being finished. They release stuff too early sometimes.
But no. This was done and bad. Looked like a bunch of toys just
fucking up entire cities. This movie had no heart. The main hero
sucked and was smacked on because he is Black and so was Idris Elba
so they needed to make some sort of connection. This was probably the
biggest cash grab movie of this past year and I hope they never make
another one. Just stop here.
"I'm
not sure why this was made and made so badly. I remember watching
interviews with Henson and people talking about the lack of
advertising this got. I see why. If I had invested in this I would
have been so pissed at how it turned out. The story is super weak.
The directing seems all over the place. This movie doesn't even have
a tone."
They
got me! They tricked me into thinking this would be a good movie
because the trailer. Till this day I say that whoever put that
trailer together deserves an award because they managed to make this
dumpster fire look cool. Turns out they just took clips from the end
of the movie and made it seem like this was an action packed movie.
It wasn't. It was dumb. I wanted this to be good for so many reasons
but could not enjoy this. I like dumb shit. I just don't like stupid
shit. This was stupid.
"The
editing is noticeably bad which is a super easy way to yank me out of
a movie or TV show. The ending is just insulting for anyone hoping
that this will expand upon the Cloverfield series. I'm glad this was
not released in theaters. It is a waste of time."
This
movie buh-lew! I didn't expect it to be amazing or anything but this
movie didn't even make sense. This seemed like they took four movies,
slapped them all together, and hoped for the best. I could see that
there was a possibly good movie but I read that Cloverfield got
tacked on at some point to get this made and that connection is one
of the worst parts of this. A half written story, shoddy effects, and
a shoehorned franchise does not make a movie watchable.
"What
is happening to the world and why all these storms and quakes are
happening is never explained. I could kind of forgive that. Kind of.
But what I can't forgive is an ending that is not a fucking ending.
The movie just stops."
I got
mad just reading my own review for this movie. This piece of shit
should not have even been released. This was one of the signs that
Netflix did not care about what they were putting on their channel.
Now when I see something that is a Netflix Original I am iffy as hell
to even give it a shot. This movie did not have an ending. Yeah. The
movie ended. Meaning I am not watching it right now. But it did not
have an ending. Fuck this for existing. And like another movie I will
be bitching about this gave no explanation for things that happened.
"With
a horror movie I can watch and enjoy them for a lot of reasons.
Because the kills are creative. Because they are unintentionally
funny. Because they scared me. Because they were shot well. I don't
have any of that to say about this movie."
I hate
that this was not good. I read reviews where people praised the
acting and how scary this was and felt bad for them if they ever
watch an actually scary or creepy movie. This movie was just done to
see what some of the actors look like older now. As someone that
likes movie killers even if they just can't seem to be killed and
their previous versions are silly as hell I always still want these
remake/reboots to be good. They threatened to make a sequel to this
by having Michael Myers not be dead. Just give it up. I know that
they loved making this but it didn't even feel like a Halloween
movie. Knock the Rob Zombie ones all you want but at least the shit
was interesting.
"The
crazy thing about this movie is that I still don't know why anyone
likes her other than her looks. She doesn't seem to have much of a
personality and has shown signs of some kind of mental illness and
very impulsive behavior. She gets drunk and hurts a guy which stops
her from having sex. Gets upset and drunkenly cuts her hair. Quits
her job with no warning."
I
still don't know the answer as to why these guys liked Sanaa Lathan
other than how she looked. I even asked some lady friends this
question and the best they could mention was she dressed nice and had
a good job. This movie seemed like it was written by a computer as to
what makes a romance movie for this day and age. So many found this
movie empowering while I thought it was the story of a woman that had
lost her mind and was raised by an insane mother and a father who
could not deal with that shit and left.
"After
one hour that felt like two already and knowing I had one more to go
I had to give up on this. The story was not interesting at all and
when there were threats of a good time being had by me it would slam
on its brakes for some boring story development that I just did not
give a damn about. I did not care about anyone in this movie!"
This
was the first time I did a review for a movie that I did not finish.
I did like the first movie a lot but this one just was not good. I
still have not talked to anyone that saw this movie. I can't wait
till the Chocket Awards with Cam so she can talk about another bad
Denzel movie from this year. I don't know what dude is going through
right now but he needs to chill for a bit.
"During
the heist the really tall blonde is shot because studios will be
damned if out of four women, two being Black and one Latina, that one
of them gets shot. Plus, in all honesty, other than Viola Davis'
character the blonde was considered expendable. If you don't have
kids you are pretty much a meat shield. I didn't want them to
accomplish this heist because I didn't care about them."
If I
wrote this review again after all the talking I have done about this
I would give it a 1/10. Seriously. I have been shitting all over this
movie since it came out. Critics are praising Viola Davis for her
acting in this. Nah. Her acting was better in Suicide Squad. People
are praising Steve McQueen and his directing. Oh, you mean his
flavorless directing? I could seriously write three more reviews just
breaking down how bad this movie was. If you liked this movie and
thought it was one of the best of the year and the acting and
performances were great I don't know what to tell you. This movie was
fucking dumb. It had a goofy plot, a shitty heist, and no one to
cheer for. Here is how the advertisement should go. “A White man
marries a Black woman and their child dies because he is dumb...I
mean mixed...I mean Black. White man kills his own crew and pretends
to die himself because he wants all White baby. Black wife who is a
teacher with no crime experience uses his journal to plan a big
heist. And by big heist I mean rob a house.”
"They
start to piece together that you can't look outside or else you will
go crazy and kill yourself. They end up letting a pregnant woman into
the house and everything about her screams victim.
Like...everything!"
At
least with The Happening we knew what the problem was. Goddamn trees.
With this shit it is left to us to figure it out. People have
theories that they are pushing as facts. The fucking author who
created this didn't even say what made everyone kill themselves or
explain why some people did not kill themselves but instead made
others open their eyes and kill themselves. I know whatever the fuck
was affecting people could do it through vision but at one point the
shit's was talking to them. So I guess the blind people were deaf as
well. Explain that! When you see that the movie jumps back and forth
through time you know automatically that everyone else is dead. The
kids in the movie are just something to make you want Sandra Bullock
to protect because she herself is not a likable character. She is a
vessel for life that becomes their form of transportation. You can
like this piece off leper shit but don't tell me that I am wrong for
hating a movie that has no clearly defined threat. “They were
seeing depression when they opened their eyes!” Word? “”It was
the devil!” Uh-huh. Every year there is a movie I don't “get”
the hype over. One year it was Nocturnal Animals. Another Boyhood.
Silver Linings Playbook. Florida Project. This year it is both Widows
and Bird Box.
