The Emoji Movie (Review) - Why It Sucks. A lot of audiences tend to hate a movie just because everyone does. We remember when The Lego Movie was announced and everyone thought it was going to be dumb and months later we were mad it was not nominated for an Oscar.
People complained Heath Ledger's casting as the Joker who wet on to win an Oscar. Then The Emoji Movie? Has nothing to do with these examples.
We have no hate towards The Emoji Movie because they never done anything bad but what we do hate is bad storytelling. We are cool with having similarities between movies because it is bound to happen. But this is a little to close to Pixar's Inside Out.
The Emoji Movie - Why It Sucks
In The Emoji Movie, we follow our hero who is this electronic character who's in his own self confine electronic world called the Meh Emoji. He is design to do one thing but deep down he knows he is meant for more.
What he does is, he leaves his self-contained electronic to go out to wider electronic world to find himself. Ugh...... it is a bad movie. Not funny at all. There were kids in the cinema when we were watching this and they barely laughing.
One of the many big mistakes that the filmakers make is that they confuse pandering with association. Whenever they did try to bring an element that was even remotely emotional, it seemed forced and suddenly out of nowhere. All the jokes fall completely flat.
A lot of characters started off having promise like for instance you have this character, High Five Emoji, you hoped it will be funny but it just gets annoying.
It is a real shame too because you have A-listers voice casts like TJ Miller, Steven Wright, Patrick Stewart, James Corden, and Christina Aguilera. Why would they say yes to do this movie???????
It almost like it doesn't have respect for the audience. And we feel bad for those who worked hard through out this project like the animators.
The Emoji Movie rating:
2/10
