In a year where both the third Fantastic Beasts AND Bullet Train exist, I really wasn't expecting a Marion Cotillard prestige pick out of Cannes to be the worst thing I saw all year, but good God, Arnaud Desplechin's Brother and Sister was HILARIOUSLY horrendous.
Of what I saw last year (only halfway through my 2022 watchlist), the worst is clearly Amsterdam. Never seen a more clear example of actors performing AT each other than with each other. As for the script, every scene is characters talking about what they’re doing, what they’ve done and what they’re going to do. Insufferable.
I watched a lot of trashy horror last year: • Goodnight Mommy • The Twin • The Cellar • The Free Fall • The Ancestral • Monstrous • A Wounded Fawn • Firestarter • Morbius **So Bad It's Good Horror of 2022** • Texas Chainsaw Massacre • The Requin • The Legend of La Llorona
Jurassic World Dominion should’ve just been called Work. No one wants to be there, everyone wants to be somewhere else, and they’re all their for the money. You could have fun with it if drink every time Sam Neil’s accent keeps changing.
I understand why people wouldn’t like Amsterdam, but I personally enjoyed it. I love the cast and the story. Not perfect and has pacing issues, but overall it was fun.
Watching JW Dominion was like chewing flavorless gum for over two hours. Not really offensive or actively atrocious, but extremely bland and a tiresome experience to get through
I should probably wait until a Q&A but Christy, I’ve always wanted to know the origin of the absolutely hilarious things you used to drink out of on WTF. I especially remember a bowl (was I imaging that? Perhaps)
I hope I never have to see these again. Pinocchio, Morbius, Jurassic World Dominion, Don't Worry Darling, Firestarter, Amsterdam, Moonfall, Uncharted, Fantastic Beasts 3, The 355
My worst ten films of 2022: 1. The Invitation 2. Prey for the Devil 3. White Noise 4. Bodies Bodies Bodies 5. Moonfall 6. Black Adam 7. Disney’s Pinocchio 8. Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2022 9. DC League of Super Pets 10. Uncharted
Hated Nope. There was some great acting and cinematography but the story makes no sense. An organic being can generate electric fields, keep a cloud around itself for weeks at a stretch? Not to mention that ridiculous subplot about the monkey attack that went absolutely no where? I realize a lot of this movie was mean to be metaphor and allegory but it still needs to make sense on its own.
I saw the animated Marmaduke movie on Netflix as a joke, and surprise surprise, it's shockingly awful. It looks like a film that would've looked half-assed in 1998, so the fact that it looks this bad today is completely inexcusable.
Alonso: alphabetizes "The 355" ahead of any letters Christy: alphabetizes "The 355" under T my copy editor brain: Christy follows the Chicago Manual of Style!
Still finishing the bubble 🙄. But worst 🎥 of 2022 for me is “Me Time” with Mark Wahlberg & Kevin Hart. How unfunny was it? Not even the single fart joke in the 🎥 made me laugh 😂. Also “The Munsters” was just: WTF ARE YOU DOING?!! Also completely forgot the god awful “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” from I think January
Thank you. Crawdads was dreadful and nobody else seems to have noticed. I would throw a vote to Glass Onion and School for Good and Evil and Mack & Rita
I know you and your fans won’t agree but personally my worst cinema experience of the year was that Cronenberg film, i HATED it… but then I skipped all the truly obviously trashy films, including Morbius!!
The Railway Children Return a sequel to The Railway Children a very popular British movie from 1970 was the worst along with Major which managed to put me off Indian movies completely.
My family and I really enjoyed Luck. We definitely did not enjoy Moonfall. I perhaps would have worked if it was self-aware of how ridiculous was, instead you’re eye-rolling at it, not with it.
What movie did I find to be the worst for 2022? My Name Is Sara (2019). It had a limited theatrical release in July. Poor acting performances where I suspect the cast were probably good actors in their native language of Polish. Which made the choice to have the movie in English very questionable. Definitely English wasn't a strong suit for our young protagonist. There were other criticisms I had for the film but I forgot what they were over the past six months. Jurassic World Domain came in a very close second.
The movie I disliked the most in 2022 was "Thor: Love and Thunder." What a piece of junk! Taika Waititi should forever be banned from making another Marvel movie.
The Tiger Rising, which I predicted had a good shot at remaining at the bottom of my list (saw it on January 24, 2022) was only beat by one other title (a repugnant 2020 movie I won't name with a vile message).
I really hated Babylon so much. SO MUCH. Though I was never bored watching it and always fascinated by just how bizarre the choices were? The biggest disappointment for me was Bones and All, which I also kind of hated. It just felt like high-brow Twilight to me, with an (accidental?) gay or bisexual metaphor which I found kind of offensive I liked The Invitation! It should have been R rated and smuttier and trashier, but I had a good time! I also respect that the main character actually chooses to take the power instead of rejecting it, which these kinds of films would usually frown upon. It promised sexy-vampire-Get Out and it delivered sexy-vampire-Get Out
Wow, i like the idea of 10 most disappointed, because maybe they're capable people who just couldnt get it together this time? I wouldnt mind a to combined 20ish of this
So far my least favorite movies of 2022 are 1. Morbius 2. Crimes of the Future 3. Don't Worry Darling 4. Black Adam 5. Barbarian 6. Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent 7. Blonde 8. Ticket to Paradise 9. Death on the Nile 10. Babylon
My least favorite movie of the year was Lightyear. Bland, generic animated movie that fails to do justice to either the Buzz Lightyear character or the franchise it's spinning off from. Even the art design is flat and uninspired for Pixar. I figured it wouldn't be as good as the mainline Toy Story films, but even with low expectations I was surprised just how much I hated Lightyear.
I can only think of two movies that I would say I hated: Bullet Train. It ruined my day. I'm sorry to say, as Alonso has it on his top ten, the other movie I hated was Bros. I like a lot of the performers in it and it was good to see them but the movie was unfunny. Lots of time spent on committees. I wouldn't say either was a bad film per se. I just didn't like them.
My Top 25 Worst: Dishonorable Mentions: Memory, Sex Appeal, Samaritan, Me Time, Ponniyin Selvan: Part I, Good Mourning 25. Night At The Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again 24. Luck (Christy Was Dead On) 23. Meet Cute 22. Halloween Ends 21. Snow Day 20. The Invitation (Again Well Said Christy) 19. The King’s Daughter 18. Blacklight (Well Said Alonso) 17. Medieval 16. The Wolf And The Lion 15. Choose Or Die 14. Cirkus (The Anti-RRR) 13. The Ice Age Adventures Of Buck Wild 12. R.I.P.D. 2: Rise Of The Damned (Seriously Who Asked For This!?!) 11. Fantasy Football (AKA Madden NFL 23 Commercial The Movie) 10. My Fake Boyfriend (Like Bros If It Were Written By An Algorithm With None Of The Heart Or Humor) 9. Windfall (Sorry Guys I Know You Liked It) 8. Fall (Again Sorry Guys) 7. They/Them (A Perfect Example Of Probably Good Intentions Going Very Wrong) 6. Marmaduke 5. Prey For The Devil 4. Paul’s Promise 3. The Quintessential Quintuplets Movie 2. Family Camp 1. Redeeming Love (Utterly Irredeemable) Thanks Guys Happy New Year!!!
The 365 Days sequel was awful, so too was Don't Worry Darling and saw Babylon this week and what are Margot Robbie and Brad Pitt thinking making that 3 hour pile of garbage
Thankfully I don't have to watch anything I don't want to because it looks bad but that also means I can't make a list like these. The worst I could come up with was Studio 666 and I don't hate it, I just found it so boring.
I know I'm in the minority but I liked Jurassic World: Dominion. I thought it was fun and honestly probably my second favorite of the franchise after the OG Jurassic Park. BTW, LOVED Alonso's southern accent when they were talking about Where the Crawdad's Sing. 😂
Probably not the *worst* movie I saw this year, but "Thor: Love & Thunder" was the biggest disappointment. Didn't "Thor: Ragnarok" make some your best-of lists for 2017?
I'm sort impressed by how many bad Jurassic Park movies they have managed to make in a row (6). Corman, The Shaw Brothers... maybe even Cannon Films would have surely made a good one accidentally with that many attempts.
I firmly believe there can be no highs without lows (and sometimes very low lows), so I always watch both the Best and Worst videos every year. Keep on, keep on, Happy New Year.
@@uhuhuh1966 "Knives Out" was fantastic and smart. "Glass Onion" doesn't have a believable character and goes over the top with everything... like most sequels. An absurd cartoonish movie.
@@tccandler Lmao if you actually believe the first wasn’t over the top and had believable characters you’re due for a rewatch. The main character vomited anytime she lied 🤣
@@uhuhuh1966 "Comparatively believable" would be the correct terminology. The sequel characters were more hard to believe than the Coyote from Road Runner.
THE MENU tops my Worst List, which I saw at the same screening as you two lovelies. I watched again on HBO MAX just to confirm, and as they say on LETTERKENNY, "can confirm". Oddly, TRIANGLE OF SADNESS, which aims for similar targets, is among my favorites. Funny what tone, talent and a clear point of view can differentiate one film from another.
Here's a few Imma name off. The Bubble: THE VERY WORST of the year. Easily the worst thing Judd Apatow has ever made, a mastabatory COVID film about celebrities that's also just an excuse for Apatow to air out a lot of grievences. Not one person in the talented cast makes a single funny joke. Clerks 3: A key example of a movie that makes you emotional doesn't mean it's a good movie. And the worst part about it is that it's mostly just a flanderized, shitty re-telling of Clerks 1 that makes it so sad and needlessly depressing that I think reflects poorly on Kevin Smith. Poisonous fanservice. Eternal Spring: Caught this at a film festival. Guess what guys? It's a propaganda film for Falun Gong! It's a very unique animated doc like Flee, focuses purely on the persecution by the Chinese government but is deliberately vague about what Falun Gong stands for/believes Honk for Jesus: Brown and King were carrying that film very hard but it was mind numbingly boring and dull and listless. Where the Crawdad Sings: See Alonso's take The Whale: See Clerks 3 take, also my comment on that BFAS All Day Review. Just awful source material.
Alonso, I couldn't disagree more about The Whale. The meaning (literal and metaphorical) of the character and his existential situation was apparent to me throughout. The "freak show" nature of the body prosthetics dissipated in about 10 minutes, and the use of "Moby-Dick" in the original play was preserved for the film. I thought all the performances were great, the score was excellent, and I was deeply moved. Sorry you couldn't "see" this film.
If your takeaway from The Whale is that it is a "freakshow" with the message of "everyone take a big long look at this fat guy," then you completely failed as a cultural critic in your review. Your mode seems to be to crib off some article in the NY Times rather than actually let the movie itself speak to you, a movie that obviously, overwhelmingly, and profoundly is focused on the humanity of Charlie. I can only assume that you heard the synopsis of the movie, heard the predetermined outrage machine, and literally turned your brain off while actually watching the movie.
@@BreakfastAllDay That is a generous response to my angry comment about my favorite movie of the year. I edited my comment to remove the inappropriate attack on you as a critic and made my criticism more specific to this one bad review of The Whale. I'm sorry about that. Just to vent a little more lol, although hopefully less of a personal attack this time: Unfortunately, you did not extend the generosity and openness of your reply to Aronofsky's film. While you don't necessarily need to be "generous" to a movie, you should review it for what it actually is, rather than an abstraction you create of it based on a predetermined list of expectations that you have for the movie. It seems like people you respect called the movie fatphobic, so you unconsciously fit everything into that abstraction and essentialization. You interpreted a scene of Charlie struggling over food choices as somehow making fun of Charlie, even though that interpretation is completely ridiculous when you place that scene within the film's complex narrative of his life, the death of his boyfriend, his complex relationship with his daughter, his self-loathing (which is a real thing), and so on. It is clearly an empathetic scene. A fair criticism that actually engages with the film is to say that it's overly melodramatic and stagey. But calling it a "freakshow" of fat people is just incoherent with the film that I watched. Thank you for taking the high road though with your reply.
Glass Onion, easily on par with Death on the Nile in terms of terrible performances and accents (what happened to Edward Norton's acting skills), unengaging plot and execution, flat plastic cinematography, and lets-just-finish-this ending. The Menu, for all its flaws, is a much better ensemble mystery film.
In a year where both the third Fantastic Beasts AND Bullet Train exist, I really wasn't expecting a Marion Cotillard prestige pick out of Cannes to be the worst thing I saw all year, but good God, Arnaud Desplechin's Brother and Sister was HILARIOUSLY horrendous.
But Bullet Train is so much fun!!
@@MuhammadAhmad-oj6mf Yes, I too love "famous person makes cameo, says something unfunny and dips or dies" repeated 5 or 6 times.
Brother and Sister was so bad I couldn’t finish it. But Deplechin‘s Deception was also terrible, i think he is just a shit director.
@@pb.j.1753 Only movie I remember leaving the midway through is Jeepers Creepers 4, I just didn't wanna to suffer.
I really liked bullet train way better then that 2021 mortal kombat movie that was really hit n miss.
OMG
Did you spoil "Glass Onion" in your "Carol" commercial?
LOL
It's been on Netflix for a couple weeks now 😄
I was pleasantly surprised neither of you mentioned, Babylon since you both disliked it so much. I' LOVED Babylon personally.
I think Babylon is not quite bad and not quite good. What it aims for it misses, but there's a lot that's well done in pieces.
Of what I saw last year (only halfway through my 2022 watchlist), the worst is clearly Amsterdam. Never seen a more clear example of actors performing AT each other than with each other. As for the script, every scene is characters talking about what they’re doing, what they’ve done and what they’re going to do. Insufferable.
That's a good way of phrasing it. Thanks Shane!
I watched a lot of trashy horror last year:
• Goodnight Mommy
• The Twin
• The Cellar
• The Free Fall
• The Ancestral
• Monstrous
• A Wounded Fawn
• Firestarter
• Morbius
**So Bad It's Good Horror of 2022**
• Texas Chainsaw Massacre
• The Requin
• The Legend of La Llorona

We have no idea what you're talking about 😄
Ahhh the giant mugs???
BEAST with Idres Elba, a movie with characters making the dumbest decisions I have ever seen in a movie, that shit was laughable.
I have no memory of blacklight...
I hope I never have to see these again.
Pinocchio, Morbius, Jurassic World Dominion, Don't Worry Darling, Firestarter, Amsterdam, Moonfall, Uncharted, Fantastic Beasts 3, The 355
My worst ten films of 2022:
1. The Invitation
2. Prey for the Devil
3. White Noise
4. Bodies Bodies Bodies
5. Moonfall
6. Black Adam
7. Disney’s Pinocchio
8. Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2022
9. DC League of Super Pets
10. Uncharted
Bullet Train, Vengeance, Bardo, The Whale, The King’s Daughter, and Death on the Nile!
Was looking forward to this one...
We're here to help!
1/10
"Pinocchio"
3/10
"Morbius"
4/10
"Disenchanted"
5/10
"The Adam Project"
"Jurassic World: Dominion"
I hated Blonde and Doctor Strange 2
I thought Black Adam was the worst film I had seen all year, but you guys reminded me of a few.
Hated Nope. There was some great acting and cinematography but the story makes no sense. An organic being can generate electric fields, keep a cloud around itself for weeks at a stretch? Not to mention that ridiculous subplot about the monkey attack that went absolutely no where? I realize a lot of this movie was mean to be metaphor and allegory but it still needs to make sense on its own.
I have been waiting for this list thanks 😉😂🤣🤣
Ha, glad you enjoyed!
I saw the animated Marmaduke movie on Netflix as a joke, and surprise surprise, it's shockingly awful. It looks like a film that would've looked half-assed in 1998, so the fact that it looks this bad today is completely inexcusable.
We managed to avoid that one!
Alonso: alphabetizes "The 355" ahead of any letters
Christy: alphabetizes "The 355" under T
my copy editor brain: Christy follows the Chicago Manual of Style!
Totally by accident after 15 years at The Associated Press!
My worst of the year was The Bubble. How Judd Apatow can direct that and produce the hilarious Bros in the same year is baffling.
Truly!
"Halloween Ends" and "Dominion" were both pretty disappointing.
Still finishing the bubble 🙄. But worst 🎥 of 2022 for me is “Me Time” with Mark Wahlberg & Kevin Hart. How unfunny was it? Not even the single fart joke in the 🎥 made me laugh 😂. Also “The Munsters” was just: WTF ARE YOU DOING?!! Also completely forgot the god awful “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” from I think January
Christy!! You’re spoiling glass onion!
Totally by accident (but it's been out on Netflix for a couple of weeks)!
I actually really enjoyed The Adam Project, I thought it was simple fun
That's good!
Between the whale (his performance in it at least) and doom patrol, I’m a fan of the Brendan Fraser renaissance.
I put Amsterdam, Babylon, Men, and White Noise in the same category: BIG SWING MISFIRES MADE BY VERY TALENT DIRECTORS THAT KINDA WORKED FOR ME.
Interesting!
you know, I miss the days of bad green screen. So no effect shots can be as bad as a Seinfeld car scene, BRING IT ON WITH POOR EFFECT SHOTS!!!
Thank you. Crawdads was dreadful and nobody else seems to have noticed. I would throw a vote to Glass Onion and School for Good and Evil and Mack & Rita
I know you and your fans won’t agree but personally my worst cinema experience of the year was that Cronenberg film, i HATED it… but then I skipped all the truly obviously trashy films, including Morbius!!
I think because I watched so many movies on streaming they didn't really stick in my head.
Ha, so they kinda all blur into one?
The Railway Children Return a sequel to The Railway Children a very popular British movie from 1970 was the worst along with Major which managed to put me off Indian movies completely.
My family and I really enjoyed Luck. We definitely did not enjoy Moonfall. I perhaps would have worked if it was self-aware of how ridiculous was, instead you’re eye-rolling at it, not with it.
It should have been nuttier, for sure.
Moonfall was this year?! Wow...what does time mean anymore?!
What is reality???
What movie did I find to be the worst for 2022? My Name Is Sara (2019). It had a limited theatrical release in July. Poor acting performances where I suspect the cast were probably good actors in their native language of Polish. Which made the choice to have the movie in English very questionable. Definitely English wasn't a strong suit for our young protagonist.
There were other criticisms I had for the film but I forgot what they were over the past six months.
Jurassic World Domain came in a very close second.
The movie I disliked the most in 2022 was "Thor: Love and Thunder." What a piece of junk! Taika Waititi should forever be banned from making another Marvel movie.
We enjoyed Christian Bale's performance. But yes, not good. Thanks Josh!
The Tiger Rising, which I predicted had a good shot at remaining at the bottom of my list (saw it on January 24, 2022) was only beat by one other title (a repugnant 2020 movie I won't name with a vile message).
We didn't see The Tiger Rising, it sounds terrible!
I really hated Babylon so much. SO MUCH. Though I was never bored watching it and always fascinated by just how bizarre the choices were? The biggest disappointment for me was Bones and All, which I also kind of hated. It just felt like high-brow Twilight to me, with an (accidental?) gay or bisexual metaphor which I found kind of offensive
I liked The Invitation! It should have been R rated and smuttier and trashier, but I had a good time! I also respect that the main character actually chooses to take the power instead of rejecting it, which these kinds of films would usually frown upon. It promised sexy-vampire-Get Out and it delivered sexy-vampire-Get Out
Babylon made me lose my faith in cinema. Then, I needed Jacques Tati’s PlayTime to restore it.
Worst movies I saw this year were the Texas Chainsaw Massacre reboot and Deep Water, a supposedly erotic thriller that was a huge snooze fest.
I actually enjoyed Amsterdam. I saw it on HBO in a hotel room. I liked the quirky characters and antifascist message.
Wow, i like the idea of 10 most disappointed, because maybe they're capable people who just couldnt get it together this time? I wouldnt mind a to combined 20ish of this
and 10 most boring as yahtzee does
Exactly, moonfall was not nearly zany enough. Would rather just watch 2012 or San Andreas again
So far my least favorite movies of 2022 are
1. Morbius
2. Crimes of the Future
3. Don't Worry Darling
4. Black Adam
5. Barbarian
6. Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
7. Blonde
8. Ticket to Paradise
9. Death on the Nile
10. Babylon
i thought i was the only one that found barbarian overrated 😃
My least favorite movie of the year was Lightyear. Bland, generic animated movie that fails to do justice to either the Buzz Lightyear character or the franchise it's spinning off from. Even the art design is flat and uninspired for Pixar. I figured it wouldn't be as good as the mainline Toy Story films, but even with low expectations I was surprised just how much I hated Lightyear.

Don't worry darling is my worst of the year. The movie makes no sense and misunderstands the point of feminism
It does, but it looks great.
Thor love and thunder.

THE MENU tops my Worst List, which I saw at the same screening as you two lovelies. I watched again on HBO MAX just to confirm, and as they say on LETTERKENNY, "can confirm". Oddly, TRIANGLE OF SADNESS, which aims for similar targets, is among my favorites. Funny what tone, talent and a clear point of view can differentiate one film from another.
Aww you should have come and said hi!
Thor: Love and Thunder.
The Whale is an okay movie, not great, but it doesn't belong on this list.
What would be on your worst-of list?
@@BreakfastAllDay Nope for sure 😏
Here's a few Imma name off.
The Bubble: THE VERY WORST of the year. Easily the worst thing Judd Apatow has ever made, a mastabatory COVID film about celebrities that's also just an excuse for Apatow to air out a lot of grievences. Not one person in the talented cast makes a single funny joke.
Clerks 3: A key example of a movie that makes you emotional doesn't mean it's a good movie. And the worst part about it is that it's mostly just a flanderized, shitty re-telling of Clerks 1 that makes it so sad and needlessly depressing that I think reflects poorly on Kevin Smith. Poisonous fanservice.
Eternal Spring: Caught this at a film festival. Guess what guys? It's a propaganda film for Falun Gong! It's a very unique animated doc like Flee, focuses purely on the persecution by the Chinese government but is deliberately vague about what Falun Gong stands for/believes
Honk for Jesus: Brown and King were carrying that film very hard but it was mind numbingly boring and dull and listless.
Where the Crawdad Sings: See Alonso's take
The Whale: See Clerks 3 take, also my comment on that BFAS All Day Review. Just awful source material.
Blonde better be on here!! Lol 😆 jk! To each their own! 🥰
Alonso, I couldn't disagree more about The Whale. The meaning (literal and metaphorical) of the character and his existential situation was apparent to me throughout. The "freak show" nature of the body prosthetics dissipated in about 10 minutes, and the use of "Moby-Dick" in the original play was preserved for the film. I thought all the performances were great, the score was excellent, and I was deeply moved. Sorry you couldn't "see" this film.
I’d put the Fabelman’s here 👀 hated that movie
Aww, The Fabelmans does not belong among these turds, does it?
@@BreakfastAllDay haha I think so!
Same.
If your takeaway from The Whale is that it is a "freakshow" with the message of "everyone take a big long look at this fat guy," then you completely failed as a cultural critic in your review. Your mode seems to be to crib off some article in the NY Times rather than actually let the movie itself speak to you, a movie that obviously, overwhelmingly, and profoundly is focused on the humanity of Charlie. I can only assume that you heard the synopsis of the movie, heard the predetermined outrage machine, and literally turned your brain off while actually watching the movie.
Glad you had a different experience than we did. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.
@@BreakfastAllDay That is a generous response to my angry comment about my favorite movie of the year. I edited my comment to remove the inappropriate attack on you as a critic and made my criticism more specific to this one bad review of The Whale. I'm sorry about that.
Just to vent a little more lol, although hopefully less of a personal attack this time: Unfortunately, you did not extend the generosity and openness of your reply to Aronofsky's film. While you don't necessarily need to be "generous" to a movie, you should review it for what it actually is, rather than an abstraction you create of it based on a predetermined list of expectations that you have for the movie. It seems like people you respect called the movie fatphobic, so you unconsciously fit everything into that abstraction and essentialization. You interpreted a scene of Charlie struggling over food choices as somehow making fun of Charlie, even though that interpretation is completely ridiculous when you place that scene within the film's complex narrative of his life, the death of his boyfriend, his complex relationship with his daughter, his self-loathing (which is a real thing), and so on. It is clearly an empathetic scene. A fair criticism that actually engages with the film is to say that it's overly melodramatic and stagey. But calling it a "freakshow" of fat people is just incoherent with the film that I watched.
Thank you for taking the high road though with your reply.
Glass Onion, easily on par with Death on the Nile in terms of terrible performances and accents (what happened to Edward Norton's acting skills), unengaging plot and execution, flat plastic cinematography, and lets-just-finish-this ending. The Menu, for all its flaws, is a much better ensemble mystery film.
I tried to avoid a lot of the stinkers this year. My personal worst 3 though were: Where the Crawdads Sing, Ambulance, and Men
Ooh Ambulance was fun!
Worst = Top Gun: Maverick.
The absolute worst.
Way overrated but hardly the worst.
@@davidleary4524 The worst movie I saw this year. In a long time.
