just as in the heyday of the gladiator arena many of you lust for blood and
have requested and I do a list of the worst movies of 2018 but before we get
to my list I want to remind you to vote for your worst movies of 2018 just as
they also did in the gladiator arena yay or nay oh yeah and you could also vote
for your best movies too and beyond the trailers annual poll the link to which
is down below in the video description the poll closes on January 4th so be
sure to vote today or as soon as possible and then look for the results
right here on beyond the trailer now it would be easy for me to list the real
clunkers of 2018 that we knew would be bad before they even hit the silver
screen so I've decided to list the movies that were shockingly bad where
the stars filmmakers and studio suits should have known better
ah I think you're gonna be entertained number 5 hereditary you knew it would be
on this list and I bet you even thought it would be higher it is in fact and not
personal like to me is an individual the worst movie of the year my new phantom
thread but I put it at number 5 on my official list because I respect the few
people that did like it but that D+ CinemaScore proves that most moviegoers
thought it was as torturous as I did I feel that hereditary is the perfect
example of an emperor has no clothes movie it has all the markings and
promise of a prestige horror film which which are all the rage these days and so
hereditary tried to jump on that bandwagon and some degree did but it not
only never delivers but is infuriatingly unsatisfying and its pompous nonsensical
unjust ending yeah I really hated it but Toni Collette was good though and the
miniatures were also cool even though they never factored in narrative Lea
which a non hack filmmaker would have known to do alright number 4 first man
now this isn't personal I love one Damien Chazelle even though I
hate another but this movie first man is a perfect
sample of a filmmaker buying into his own hype
after la-la-land Chazelle believed he'd made it never believed that always be a
little bit nervous so because he was felt he was safe she's L and everybody
just was hanging on his every cinematic word she's L made the space exploration
movie that he personally was interested in and as a result it seems like only
his family went to go and see it at thatõs but also not only on top of what
kind of space movie he wanted himself but he also put he decided to put a non
patriotic spin on it now first man is an anti patriotic to be clear it's neutral
not to mention completely devoid of emotion but chisel and star Ryan Gosling
defended that creative decision by pointing out that Neil Armstrong was
both those things however that's why everybody talks about Buzz Aldrin which
first man made fun of but haha who's laughing now not anybody associated with
the first man team and then number three is Teen Titans go to the movies they say
its darkest before the dawn and that is certainly the case with DC movies now
just like with hereditary I respect that some people did enjoy this movie
particularly fans of the zany incarnation of the animated series in
which this is based but the reason that this not only is on
my list of worst movies of 2018 but is higher up than hereditary is because it
ridicules the home team not cool especially when your own movie is nails
on a chalkboard too many made for less money at the box office and didn't
inspire anywhere near the same fan loyalty I don't hear people calling for
a certain cut of Teen Titans go to the movies do never make fun of the home
team so disloyal alright number speaking of disloyal number two solo a
Star Wars story to be clear though I really I want to point out that I really
did end up enjoying Alden Ehrenreich as han Solo
he is not the problem with this film and I loved his chemistry with Chewie as
good as Harrison Ford's but as I've said before I will never forget my second
screening of this film I saw it again with friends after I went to see that
the press screening and as I sat an audience of people who were not having a
particularly good time you could hear you could hear a piece of popcorn drop
some kid in the front of me was watching an
iPad of something else she was so annoying to me thank goodness he was
really short so you couldn't really see it over the seat except when his mom was
handing it back and forth to him and I realized that it was a woman executive
who ruined the biggest film franchise of all time we'll see if it ends up being
too big to fail I don't think that's gonna be the case who would have ever
thought we would say thank goodness for Amy Pascal and well Solo itself is a
mess what's even more infamous about the film
is how good it could have been Phil Lord and Chris Miller who Kathleen Kennedy
now notoriously fired in favor of longtime friends the Kasdan's like what
well they Lord and Miller proved that they do know what they're doing with the
game-changing spider-verse in the same year so far the box office
for spider-verse isn't amazing but at least it's a huge
awards contender and it is impressing the people who do see it so it's a it's
a minor of it so it's a mild victory for Lord and Miller but it's still a victory
that also one comes back to solo how do you mess up a Lando Calrissian
especially with the perfect casting of Donald Glover and who threw him under
the bus with that offhanded remark about his sexuality that wasn't actually
anywhere in the movie it was the Kasdan's in an interview oh lordy
Kathleen Kennedy choose to back again you know not faithful to the character
and queerbaiting it's ridiculous and don't even get me
started on that stupid droid annoying and inept
I haven't seen that unsympathetic and on screen death since Paul Bettany and
Master and Commander who actually played a very similar character and then what
is my worst movie of 2018 well that would have to be red Sparrow three
clunkers in a row Jennifer Lawrence and to think for a brief shining moment she
was the biggest female star in the world who was demanding and getting a bigger
paycheck than her considerable male co-star wasn't an unknown that got paid
less it was Chris a freaking Pratt thank goodness she still has that Oscar
which guarantees she will work forever but she might want have someone else
start picking her projects sadly Lawrence trusted her Hunger Games
director and agreed to star in his Mary Sue spy thriller with so much blatant
desperate nudity that it seemed more like a
for a former Disney Channel star with something to prove that's right
softcore porn spy fanfiction with the same bad wind game that began Angelina
Jolie's downward spiral and Angelina Jolie also has an Oscar and true true to
what I just said does continue to work but think about where Angelina Jolie is
now she really has fallen shockingly far considering where she was for such a
long time so maybe Jennifer Lawrence's Oscar isn't that good a safety net after
all and she really has to watch out she recently fired her agent I think that
was a good call although she didn't hire a new agent so she might just continue
to follow Angelina Jolie down that dark egotistical path anyway so that's my
list of the worst movies of 2018 I'm sure you have something to say about it
so I look forward to hearing your thoughts down below and don't forget to
vote in that annual Beyond The Trailer poll for best and worst movies and the
deadline again is January 4th and of course as always you can check out some
more videos right now
