Not pinning this thread as it’s probably nicer to focus on the best shows than the worst, but curious to see what everybody’s biggest disappointments where

I accidentally watched The Substance, and now I want 2.5 hours back.
the crow reboot has to be up in the top 3 of the worst this year
I just saw the Beetlejuice sequel and it stunk. I wanted to like it and remembered hearing good things, but in hindsight people stopped taking about it real fast and now i can’t wait to forget it as well
I haven’t heard a single good thing about the Borderlands movie
They didn’t even fuck it up in a fun way. Super Mario Bros (the first one) was batshit crazy, but still invoked a shocking variety of details from the games, back when there really was not much to those games. All of the Uwe Boll dreck is at least camp as hell. Resident Evil knows it’s stupid, and refuses to break eye contact.
Borderlands arrives years late, pleases nobody, and takes no risks. It is of low quality. It’s not even fun to talk about.
Well, I never played the game so I went in knowing nothing. I got it for free.
From that stand point, I’d gibe it a 7.5/10. It was no worse than Guardians/Galaxy 3. It had some funny moments and some good action. I watched it to the end, which puts it ahead of a lot of other movies that way less hate.

Matt Damon gave an interview and made this point. Back when he started producing in the 1990s the DVD release gave a movie a second life. That gave the creators a little leeway to play around. Now a movie is tie to a big opening weekend, so the makers have to stick closer to the formula.
Good point, would you have a link to the interview?
Thank you!

That’s a good point I haven’t seen pointed out elsewhere. I suspect this really solidified the trend of playing it safe.
Hot take, but Wicked. It’s an average movie with a huge marketing budget preying on nostalgia for a much better film.
Like, it wasn’t bad, but it certainly was my biggest letdown of the year.
Also — movie starts, title card… “Part 1”? Fuck right off, Disney.
And _ jeeeezus_ was it about 90 min too long.
I’m just annoyed at how all of a sudden people are Wicked fans. It’s been a massive hit broadway show for over 2 decades. It toured in pretty much every American city. I saw it in Des Moines, Iowa for 40 dollars back then. It is not some crazy new franchise people, it was just marketed like crazy because they wanted their own barbie movie.
But Americans think going to see a live show is pretentions and musicals are stupid. Unless advertisers shove pink and green in their faces for hours on end, then all of a sudden Wicked is the best thing everrrrr
Megalopolis was a waste of time and money
I heard Red One stinks on ice. I went to watch it some it was on Prime really quick, but a rental is $20.
The new Dean Cain movie, Letters at Christmas is ambience stinker according to reviews. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt16180532/
Red one was cracking fun.
Cain, he was that fountain guy in Diablo who would identify items for you right
Stay a while and listen.
Dean Cain is Superman from the Lois and Clark TV show in the 90s
Deckard Cain showed us the mysteries of the hyrodric cube in Diablo
I thought Dean Cain was the guy what invented the Segway
red one is not aweful if you are 8, or otherwise set it on a bar of Christmas movies.
Spaceman sucked.
Longlegs. Weak. Not worst but maybe, biggest disappointment?
Madame Web. Like half of the movie is just her going “what, I’m time traveling?!?” and it wasn’t even meme-worthy like Morbius. I genuinely regretted being awake for the film.
I walked away to do something else for 30 minutes in the middle and I don’t think I missed anything. It was very much like a Hallmark movie. Doesn’t help that Dakota Johnson can’t act her way out of a paper bag, and the rest of the cast just phoned it in.
I think she didn’t realize what she had signed up for until filming starts, like all the interviews on the press tour are her trying her best to pretend she knows wtf is going on.
