- DirectorMike DisaStarsHayden PanettiereGlenn ClosePatrick WarburtonRed Riding Hood is training in the group of Sister Hoods, when she and the Wolf are called to examine the sudden mysterious disappearance of Hansel and Gretel.Hoodwinked! (2005) was a good movie. But this film is NOT! The animation is inferior than the original. Cliched story with unfunny comedy. The characters are flanderized. The ending? I can't say about it. Too bad. Go watch the original instead, it's my childhood.
- DirectorTony LeondisStarsT.J. MillerJames CordenAnna FarisGene, a multi-expressional emoji, sets out on a journey to become a normal emoji.Shameless product placement. Obvious cash grab. It's boring as hell. Unfunny humor. Forgettable chaarcters. This is POOP. Wash it and forget. [insert poop emoji here]
- DirectorEduardo SchuldtStarsMoisés SuárezMoisés Iván MoraJulio MorínMagically gifted kids travel through time with a dog, battling villains attempting to alter iconic tales. Their quest: restore historical narratives while navigating temporal complexities without distorting events.A shameless The Incredibles (2004) rip-off, one of my favorite Pixar hits released in 2004 (I was born in this year). Animation and graphics are garbage. Character designs are garbage. The main villain is cliched. Music is horrendous.
- DirectorDavid FeissFrantisek VasaStarsWill TownsendDonny LucasMelissa SturmElliot, Boog and all of the beloved woodland creatures are back in a brand-new comedy adventure.Not the best way to end Open Season franchise. This franchise was one of my favorite animated movie franchises. But this film is unneccesary, as Open Season 3 (2010) felt like a decent end to this franchise.
- DirectorJohn H. WilliamsStarsTom KennyZack ShadaPatrick WarburtonSpace Chimps 2: Zartog Strikes Back follows Comet, the cool techno chimp who longs to be taken seriously as a full-fledged space chimp. Comet journeys to the fantastical Planet Malgor and bonds with the adorable alien Kilowatt, living out his ultimate fantasy. However, it's time for Comet to prove himself when the feared alien ruler Zartog takes over Mission Control! Comet must show he has the right stuff, and join fellow chimps Ham, Luna and Titan, to save the day.Alas, another worst way to end the franchise. Nothing good. Everything's empty, soulless and forced. Unfunny, janky, cheap, poorly written direct-to-video sequel. Its grasp to original material is rather poor. The voice acting is worse. Animation is worse than the original. The comedy just don't work at all. Oh, the ending is surprisingly bad, ESPECIALLY compared to the original film. Plus, the main villain Zartog is an absolute joke, as he has no impact on the story whatsoever. No redeeming factors at all.
- DirectorMartin KotíkInna EvlannikovaStarsSarah NatochennyMike PollockMarc ThompsonHarvie is a smart but a bit too lively boy with one ambition, to finish the last level of his computer game. Once in the Gamers Hall of Fame, his absent-minded father, would finally be proud of him. But finishing the game turns out to be only the start of a real adventure that takes Harvie, his dog Jerry, and his friend Monica deep into the forgotten realms of the city's old puppet museum.Aaagh! It's painful to my eyes. Lots of unnecessary plot lines and plot holes. Unlikeable characters. Atrocious story and premise. Bad execution 'n stuff. Don't watch this trash, please.
- DirectorGeorgiy SkomorovskiyStarsVladimir KotenkoDmitry UmerovValeriya MigalinaMagic is slowly corrupting the world. In order to save Russia from the same fate, Ivan Tsaritsin with some help from his friends, will try to put an end to this.The ugliest, ridiculous, laziest and hilariously ignorant garbage sponsored by Russian church, RPC (eng. РПЦ) I feel bad due to its bad CGI graphics and awful development cycle of 5 years. Its voice acting is awful, story is poor and offensive and cliched, bad CGI graphics, hilariously bad dialogue, unlikeable characters, etc. Это ужасно. (rus. This is terrible.)
- DirectorOlga LopatoMelanie SimkaStarsAntonina BerezkaJeff BergGregg BergerA few weeks before a big airshow, Ace gets his acceptance letter to take part in the competition to become the next champion.NO GOD! NO GOD PLEASE NO! NO! NO! NOOOOOO! I hate it. Because of its bad attempts at humor, cheap animation, forgettable characters. Don't watch this crap. AVOID.
- DirectorVitaliy MukhametzyanovStarsAleksey BuldakovZhanna FriskeMikhail GalustyanFailed attempt at adapting popular Russian show TNT (eng. ТНТ), Comedy Club. Epic fail. Man, the voice talents are wasted. Thank god it didn't aired on big screen theaters.
- DirectorLawrence KasanoffStarsHilary DuffHaylie DuffCharlie SheenThe evil Brand X joins a supermarket that becomes a city after closing time.Arguably the worst animated movie of all time. Stolen assets, poor graphics, bad animation, annoying characters, abysmal voice acting, unfunny humor, bad execution and the story is a mess. The entire movie is a mess.
- DirectorHoyt YeatmanStarsWill ArnettPenélope CruzZach GalifianakisA specially trained squad of guinea pigs is dispatched to stop a diabolical billionaire from taking over the world.Huh, this is the fakest-looking guinea pig gang I've ever seen. The acting for humans is bland. Characters are generic and forgettable.
- DirectorNiki CaroStarsLiu YifeiDonnie YenGong LiTo keep her ailing father from serving in the Imperial Army, a fearless young woman disguises herself as a man and battles northern invaders in China.Alas, the Disney's epic bruh moment. It panders to China, by crediting to Chinese goernment, as well the infamous Xinjiang camp. Hell, even Disney defended it, which is NOT a good idea. Disney remakes might feel like a cash grab.
- DirectorMaïmouna DoucouréStarsFathia YoussoufMédina El Aidi-AzouniEsther GohourouEleven-year-old Amy starts to rebel against her conservative family's traditions when she becomes fascinated with a free-spirited dance crew.Ewwww! This the most disgusting Netflix original movie I've ever seen in my entire life. It's also boring as hell, and its message is rather hypocritical. Characters are unlikeable and mean-spirited, and the cinematography is disgusting. It ruined Netflix's reputation into such a disgusting state, and it cost Netflix a whooping $9 billion, causing the stocks to plummet. Oh, and the translation of the French title itself is already a red flag.
- DirectorShannon Sun-HigginsonStarsLeigh AlexanderJenny HaniverRobin HunickeA documentary about women in gaming.This is the most dishonest, disastrous and shallow video game analysis I've ever seen. This documentary is full of lies, and it's a pure propaganda! It also demonizes gamers and treats them like garbage. This is all your fault, pseudo feminists and video game haters!
- DirectorJ.J. AbramsStarsDaisy RidleyJohn BoyegaOscar IsaacThe surviving Resistance faces the First Order once again in the conclusion of the Skywalker saga.A textbook example of how not to end an once-renowned epic science fantasy space opera franchise. The toy line. The TV shows. The novels. The comic books. Almost everything it's done. So many continuity errors worse than The Last Jedi (seriously, much worse). A massive disappointment for every commin-sensed and hardcore fans of Star Wars franchise. What a shame.
- DirectorLawrence GutermanStarsJamie KennedyTraylor HowardAlan CummingTim Avery, an aspiring cartoonist, finds himself in a predicament when his dog stumbles upon the mask of Loki. Then after conceiving an infant son "born of the mask", he discovers just how looney child raising can be.There is no Jim Carrey, who played the titular Mask and done funny, cartoony and creative things. There is even a god-awful grasp of the source material. Big OOF!
- DirectorSam Taylor-JohnsonStarsDakota JohnsonJamie DornanJennifer EhleLiterature student Anastasia Steele's life changes forever when she meets handsome, yet tormented, billionaire Christian Grey.Why did they make a movie out of already bad book? Because it's a cult book! And the movie is also bad. Here's why: No chemistry between Christian and Ana. The main characters are unliekable, like Christian being stalker and lacking chemistry towards Ana (which is more like an abuse), and Ana being a rip-off of Bella from Twilight and an Mary Sue. The acting is bad, and the writing is stupid. Also the portrayal of BDSM and bondage is so wrong and inaccurate that you'll might be injured and hurt so badly. Fifty Shades of Grey? More like Fifty Shades of TRASH.
- DirectorJames FoleyStarsDakota JohnsonJamie DornanEric JohnsonWhile Christian wrestles with his inner demons, Anastasia must confront the anger and envy of the women who came before her.Every sequel hs a dark side. Fifty Shades Dumber is no exception. Also, do you remember The Chronicles of Riddick poster on Ana's room? Many hated this because of riducile and stupidity. Anyway, chemistry, writing and acting are still bad. This movie is still bad.
- DirectorJames FoleyStarsDakota JohnsonJamie DornanEric JohnsonAnastasia and Christian get married, but Jack Hyde continues to threaten their relationship.Looks like you've missed the climax. What's the climax, you ask? The awful franchise is finally over! No more! To add insult to injury, this movie is STILL as bad as the previous installments.
- DirectorMartin BrestStarsBen AffleckJennifer LopezJustin BarthaLarry Gigli is assigned by a crime boss to kidnap the brother of a prominent district attorney, and a beautiful woman known only as Ricki is sent to stay with him to make sure he doesn't mess up the job.Before Fifty Shades Trilogy and Twilight Saga movies with no good chemistry, we got this worse movie, except Fifty Shades of Grey released in 2015 and Twilight was released in 2008. Still worse story than Twilight.
- DirectorJonathan LiebesmanStarsMegan FoxWill ArnettWilliam FichtnerWhen a kingpin threatens New York City, a group of mutated turtle warriors must emerge from the shadows to protect their home.Michael Bay's stereotypes have hit a new low. Megan Fox's acting as April is worse than in Transformers one, the CGI mutant reptiles look like a fursuit used in furry conventions, but cheaper, story and premise are cliched and non-sensical, and humor is bland. Aw man, Ninja Turtles are screwed up into cash grab. BIG OOF!
