ever watched a movie and been like why
does this even exist well you're not
alone hey guys it's V view with the
WatchMojo today we're counting down our
picks for the top 10 movies no one asked
for why because I want to know we're
taking a look at unnecessary movies that
were made well just because let's get to
it
oh hi how are you I was just on my way
to see Lady Proxima if you like what
you're hearing be sure to check out the
full song at the link below
[Music]
number ten Robin Hood to call this a
remake is a bit of a stretch we mean
2018 s Robin Hood tried so hard to give
the classic story swagger that it
ultimately just turned out goofy with
more slow-mo CGI sequences than a
Michael Bay movie there were definitely
a few cool sequences but nothing you
didn't see crammed into the trailer I'm
sorry I couldn't save him but you tried
the story of Robin Hood should be about
good evil and justice and although this
version had some of that it felt a
little too bogged down and turning the
merry men into SAS soldiers the setting
into Call of Duty maps and Terran
edgerton's Robin into neo from the
matrix let's just say it earned its try
out of Razzie nominations I didn't see
it coming I did number nine the girl in
the spider's web The Girl with the
Dragon Tattoo book series is about as
gritty as crime novels come and when
David Fincher brought lisbeth salander's
chaotic world to the big screen in 2011
it was praised by critics and moviegoers
a lake
however seven years later the series got
somewhat of a reboot with the girl in
the spider's web same characters but a
different cast and he had me to take it
back from them take Essen steel
I think he wanted to destroy it same
dark and dingy intent but not quite
executed with the same amount of finesse
you don't want to finish again Oh
checkmate
it wasn't terrible by any means but for
fans of the series the movie focused a
little too much on Hollywood action
rather than the collection of brilliant
characters it had at its disposal number
8 Howard the Duck to be fair to this one
it might have done better if it was
released today given the hunger for
live-action movies featuring comic book
characters but it would probably still
raise a few eyebrows and traumatize a
whole lot of kids first of all the
Howard the Duck movie was live-action
not animated for some strange
contractual reason and that meant that
its titular character was just plain
weird
it lacked all the charm of the comics
the plot was a mess and worst of all it
put a black mark next to any future
Howard the Duck movie projects at least
it gave us one of the weirdest sex
scenes of all time geez like this number
seven death wish Charles Bronson
shoot-'em-ups were very much of their
time packed full of graphic violence and
social commentary along with some cheesy
endlessly quotable dialogue when it was
announced that Bronson's legendary death
wish was going to be remade with Bruce
Willis in the lead role there was a
collective mournful little sigh in the
film community can't do this poyu not a
cop but somebody has to do it in 2018 s
death wish the violence is way over the
top its commentary on gun control is a
little confusing and Bruce Willis is
while he's Bruce Willis is who else was
there
nobody combine all that with the fact
that it was released just a few weeks
after a tragic school shooting and you
start to realize why MGM would rather
just sweep this one under the rug in a
body bag how is this part of his plan
how is this part of any plan number six
Sherlock gnomes for those not in the
gnome sorry the gnome movie sub-genre is
a thing albeit a very niche thing
there's Gnomeo and Juliet gnome alone
and of course
Sherlock gnomes it's not handy as dude
ace and this movie is extremely thin on
the ground relying on a bunch of gnome
puns and a loose Sherlock type storyline
in an attempt to add some credibility
the filmmakers even brought Johnny Depp
on board to voice the eponymous
detective alongside names like James
McAvoy and Emily Blunt what are you
looking for an assistant to ask fewer
questions but that didn't help
in fact Depp earned a Razzie nomination
for it and it's gnome wonder okay sorry
you think we're bad watch the movie well
that's not a very good surprise
number five Terminator Genisys
Terminator 2 Judgment Day is hands-down
one of the best action movies of all
time and in an attempt to relive the
glory days of said action flick The
Terminator franchise was rebooted in
2015 with Terminator Genisys I've been
waiting for you although the movie made
a lot of money it left fans wanting with
Arnie's reprising role arguably being
the only convincing part of it with it
massively lacking originality and love
from audiences the plans for a Genesis
spurred trilogy were stopped dead in
their tracks
and the franchise was once again
rebooted in 2019 with Terminator dark
faith we mean come on guys
terminators are tough but they can only
take so much I can see you're very upset
number four solo a Star Wars story some
things should just be left to the
imagination and that includes the origin
of one of cinema's most lovable nerf
herders Han Solo I got kicked out of the
Imperial Academy for having a mind of my
own but I'm a great pilot
20:18 solo a Star Wars story gave us an
insight into the characters criminal
backstory and love life and although as
an action movie it was pretty
entertaining it just didn't feel
necessary in the Star Wars franchise
seeing Han in his early days kind of
took away some of the magic of the
character only way we're gonna pull this
off is if everybody plays their part
stick to the plan
do not improvise we no longer had to
imagine his juvenile years and how he
and Chewie met Plus let's be honest
trying to cast a worthy young Harrison
Ford is pretty much impossible
number three the emoji movie where to
start with this one
remember the Angry Birds movie a film
based on an app well if you thought that
lacked depth the emoji movie is on
another level yes it's a movie about
emoticons I want to be a working emoji
you know like like everybody else and
then then I would finally fit in you
know jam-packed with terrible puns and
innuendos disguised as a relatable humor
it's agonizingly awful from start to
finish it doesn't even feel like the
filmmakers tried to make it a good movie
and it's for Razzie Awards prove that oh
hey
or should we say raspberry emoji number
four emoji trophy emoji we're talking
about a movie that peeks at Patrick
Stewart playing a turd what happened I
know it was an accident we all have
accident number two Indiana Jones and
the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
everyone wanted this movie to be good
like so badly and in parts we do get
some of the old-school badass indie whip
hats cowl and all but we also get Shia
LaBeouf playing a tough comb toting
greaser cheesy special effects and oh
yeah aliens in fact the whole story was
hinged on the existence of aliens
[Music]
this movie is particularly frustrating
because it had so much potential and it
does have some genuinely exhilarating
moments but we just can't help but feel
like it's a flat tire tagged onto a
solid trilogy that ended 20 years before
it got into space
into the space between spaces and now
apparently we're getting a new indie
flick at some point in the future like
did they not learn their lesson before
we unveil our number one pick here are
some honorable mentions perhaps you
never heard the joke why don't birds fly
I'm gonna tell you why because where
else would we ever want to go

let's remake one of the most loved and
flawless horror movies of all time
scene four scene with Vince Vaughn in
the leading role said nobody but it's no
use in drawing on our losses
no we just keep on lighting the lights
and following the formalities 1998
psycho is completely pointless it offers
up nothing but disappointing
performances and is basically an insult
to Hitchcock's 1960 original the tone of
the movie is way off with Vaughn failing
to give Norman Bates the likable
innocence Anthony Perkins did and the
climactic scene swerve subtly and go for
shock value instead it kind of feels
like you're watching your friends at
high school badly reenact a script
you're studying for 104 mind-numbing lis
average minutes
[Music]
okay take it easy I for one was very
interested in seeing Vince Vaughn
playing Norman Bates not what do you
