2022 might go down as a noticeable improvement over the last couple of years, but let's not kid ourselves in pretending there weren't a plethora of atrocious films released during this period; films which were so bad that I didn't even bother hyperlinking.
Below is a timely reminder why certain film makers should have stuck to their lane eking out a living helming music videos, posting food pics on Instagram, or better yet, should have just quit film school altogether:

Cracks me up whenever I spot a movie I thoroughly detested making it in various Best Films lists. Only proves to me just how irrelevant most critics are.
Sat through all of these horrid films; right up to the end credits. For this reason I've more than earnt the right to shit on them every chance I get. There are probably even worse films from this year that I still haven't seen; counting my blessings that I won't ever do so.
Would add White Noise.
ReplyDeleteThe worst movie of the year is probably that new Avatar flick but I'll never watch it to find out. Dead @ that shit being 3 frigging hours long.
The only film that was able to maintain my attention with a three-hour and beyond run time this year was R.R.R. Doubt anything else will ever accomplish this feat anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteHave no real desire to check out that new Avatar film.
If only James Cameron had retired in 1992.
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
ReplyDeleteMight have to retract my blurb over Kermode being one of 2022’s villains after his review of the new Cameron film and his impression of Fenella the Witch from Chorlton & The Wheelies.
