Review of The Emoji Movie (2017) by Brett M — 01 Aug 2017

So what can I say about this heap of shit movie that hasn't already been said, but hey, I gotta get my feeling out about this.

Where to begin, I guess ill start with the overall concept, its dumb, and was a really bad excuse to make a movie and I really cant do justice to just how bad it is.

The characters: the characters are more one dimensional than a piece of paper, they get ZERO character development, whatsoever. I was expecting to see a bit of character development at the beginning so that we could try to care for the characters, but nothing, we were just shown the main characters and then thrown into the movie with nothing. I feel the whole thing was very rushed, and its like "hey, here are the main characters, got it? no? oh well lets go" and then the bulk of the movie begins.

The "comedy": being 17, and as this movie is aimed at prepubescent children, I didn't expect anything, and even I was disappointed at just how bad the "jokes" were. there was a cringey pun every 2 minutes and for some reason there were a few uncomfortable adult jokes, that had no place in a movie like this, I mean, I know they were probably thrown in for the adults, but I feel there were obvious enough for a child to notice them.

Closing statement: now, I did go and see this knowing it was going to be bad, but I was blown away at how bad it really was, as I mentioned, the story was terrible and rushed, the characters were one dimensional, and it might just be the worst movie ive ever watched.
