Hello Everyone, Since we have done a Top Ten List for the best movies of 2018 I thought we should also do one for the worst movies.
So here is the Triple T’s worst movies of 2018:
10. The 15:17 to Paris
I fought with myself whether to include this on the list. The true story of three friends who stopped a terrorist attack on a train in august 2015 is a story worth telling. The idea of having the real life three friends play themselves in this movie on the other hand, although a really nice touch, makes the movie feel very stiff.
They can not act and you cant blame them since they aren’t actors, I would of jumped at the chance to play myself too. With a heavy heart though this makes the list. Three brave, courageous men who deserve all the recognition they get, just for the real-life events not the movies adaptation.
9. Mortal Engines
Peter Jackson, an Academy Award Winning director, the man who brought us The Lord of the Rings franchise to the big screen. I imagine in everyone’s mind whilst making this movie was that it would be the next big franchise to take off. It would rival marvel and give us a different type of movie to get behind… unfortunately it failed.
CGI is fantastic but that can not cover up the awful script and the bad fight scenes that occur throughout. It just felt rushed and thrown in your face like you are meant to just swallow and say ‘awesome’. It wasn’t and it is a shame since the premise is an interesting one.
8. The Happytime Murders
This Who framed Roger Rabbit type movie could have been funny but they tried far to hard to make it ‘funny’. It is certainly not a movie I would recommend to anyone, the jokes are below average, the sexualisation of puppets seemed pointless, the language to try and make it funny also was a cop out and It all felt very forced.
Movies like this need to flow down stream like Team America and its punchlines, this instead was like watching the muppets meets 2006’s The Pink Panther, and nobody wants to see that.
7. Johnny English Strikes Again
Rowan Atkinson is back again as the bumbling detective Johnny English. Let’s pray that this is the final time he is back. While it has some comedic value, it is by far not enough to save the awfulness that is Johnny English Strikes Again.
It just feels like a nothing movie, the first Johnny English was brilliant. I kind of think they should have left it as that and have it go down as a great movie instead of dilute it with one bad sequel and one terrible third instalment. Take nothing away from Rowan Atkinson, he is an incredibly funny guy but just not funny enough to save this movie.
6. Truth or Dare
I was looking forward to this because it has been a while since a truly great horror movie has stepped up on our screen… it looks like it will still be a while until one does.
The weird smiley faces are spooky for the first time or two but then are quite comical. A promising young cast that has surely only been affected negatively by appearing in this boring movie. If you enjoy pointless, cliché and cheesy horrors then you will love this. The fact that it was made to be a serious contender for a horror movie is where it tumbles, if they made it tongue in cheek, they could have had a good movie. Box office hit no more like a B movie success and that’s kind of insulting the B movie genre… Sorry.
5. I Feel Pretty
Amy Schumer… you have a knack of making me disappointed in sitting and watching a movie with you in it. I want to enjoy your movies and I want to enjoy the comedy you bring but my god does it make me cry tears of boredom.
Fully aware that she is not at fault for the writing in this movie, that displeasure goes to Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein. I see what they were trying to do with this movie and hats of to them for attempting it but they have missed the goal posts and instead of a great movie with a good message it’s a dull cliched movie with a message lost behind bad jokes.
4. Fifty Shades Freed
Remember when everyone was going crazy over the fifty shades books? All the men and woman who fell in love with Cristian Grey and his mystique.
This is a prime example of how to ruin a book franchise by trying to put a pair of good-looking people together and hoping for the best, looks cannot save this movie. If E. L. James ever writes another fifty shades book, lets hope it says on paper and off our screens. A shame that a book has had to be ruined by terrible and I mean terrible movies. This would be number and I will admit the next 3 are all joint first along with this one.
3. Show Dogs
Dogs, they are pretty much guaranteed to make 99% of the world go ‘awww’ but not all movies about dogs can be Marley and Me. This is basically Miss congeniality told in dog form.
Will Arnett… why did you agree to this? The pay check better have been huge. Yes, it is so obviously aimed to be a family friendly children’s movie but I think most children would get up and walk out half way through this mess of a movie. If you are struggling to get to sleep, bin the self-help sleep tapes and just buy this on DVD, you’ll be asleep in no time.
2. The Possession of Hannah Grace
Rubbish, awful, boring, dull and just been done a thousand times. How do you make a movie about possession new and original? Don’t make this movie would be the first step to achieving that.
Another horror movie that has missed the mark massively, it has just taken all the classic scenes from movies about exorcism and put them in one movie… I don’t want that. The acting was terrible, the writing was dull and the conclusion of the movie felt like it should have been the middle of the movie. I felt like I was about to bite my burger I have just ordered by the waiter just came and took it out my hands. Just like my dining experience, I was left with nothing.
1. Slender Man
Slender Man… you were about 5 years to late buddy. What took you so long? You took a truly terrifying concept in The Slender Man and turned it into a… oh right, is that it?
