Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
“I was so excited to see different multiverses, but then, it was just a montage, and they went through them all in, like, five seconds. And then, once we get to the main multiverse, all of the characters die in it. What kind of cr#p is that?”
Jurassic World: Dominion
“I want my time and money back.”
Pearl
“Pearl was one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen in my life. Terrible acting. Bad dialogue. Stupid story. Not scary at all. I rented it for $6. What a waste.”
Nope
“Alien stuff usually really freaks me out, so I thought this movie was going to terrify me. I guess I’m just not that scared of a flying donut that won’t eat you if you don’t look at it?”
Death on the Nile
“I’m obsessed with Agatha Christie mystery novels and was so excited about this movie. But they managed to ruin it. Everything about it was mid, but the CGI? Absolutely awful. I don’t know how a big Hollywood film like this got away with that.”
Disenchanted
“Disenchanted was pretty disappointing. The music was just rambling. The story was interesting, and it started out decently, but it’s like the writers just gave up trying part way through and slapped something together. It could have been really good with just a few tweaks to the plot and a few more catchy songs. There was almost no humor in it either.”
The Gray Man
“The Gray Man was meh.”
Don’t Worry Darling
“I was excited about it a year ago. I’m a fan of Olivia Wilde both in front and behind the camera. The beginning started out fine. The cinematography was beautiful, and the costumes were gorgeous, but the storyline was basic even if there was a ‘twist.’ It’s not the worst movie to come out in 2022 but not the best.”
Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power
“Not a movie, but a TV show I was pumped for. Rings of Power was just an abomination. Somewhere Tolkien is rolling over in his grave and for really good reason”
Blonde
“The fact that it’s a COMPLETELY FICTITIOUS REIMAGINING of a real person’s life that the writer or director never even knew is enough for it to be a flaming pile of trash.”
Hocus Pocus 2
“I’m always skeptical when it comes to sequels because it’s rare that it lives up to or surpasses the original. But this just wasn’t good, and I love the original. I still remember seeing the first one in theaters when I was 7.”
Halloween Ends
“It was just so overhyped.”
Lightyear (and more)
“Disney dropped it for me this year. Lightyear was a steaming pile. Hocus Pocus was a giant Walgreens commercial. Disenchanted could have just been a 20 minute holiday special after cutting all the garbage. Dr. Strange was a messy fever dream.”
The Batman
“It was just SO LONG”
Thor: Love and Thunder
“I had high hopes for a movie coming from Taika Waititi, who made Thor: Ragnarok. Even Kevin Feige said it’d be
very similar to the last movie, but they turned every single thing into a joke. Thor’s pain? A joke. The snap they turned into an ice cream shop? A joke. Thor’s relationships? A joke. They even somehow made Jane’s cancer…a joke. And it was an awful joke.”
My Policeman
“My Policeman was pretty blah. I expected more of a story. People hype up Harry Styles, but as an actor, he’s just meh.”
Black Adam
“They just can’t seem to make a good DC movie. The Rock was cool in it, but even he can’t carry a movie with a plot that is both convoluted AND ridiculously predictable at the same time.”
2023's most overhyped - Avatar - Way of the water.
And yes, wkaknda absolutely belongs on this list. I suspect it wasn't added in order to not offend certain people.
