The 7 Most Disappointing Movies Of 2021

My expectations were high for this. The first one was fun, and the trails for the sequel looked fun… So what happened? I don’t know. The film starts off promisingly enough with an entertaining set piece involving “Eddie” (Tom Hardy) and Michelle Williams (“Anne”) — aided by some pithy one-liners from an unseen “Venom” — but once we are introduced to “Cletus” (Woody Harrelson) the movie hits a sour note.

For this angry CGI fest, the entertaining elements, humor, and – dare I say it – the symbiotic relationship/tolerance of man and amoeba are lost. In addition to this dry mix is that Harrelson’s childhood sweetheart “Frances” (Naomie Harris) alias “the Scream” (remember the symbiotes don’t like sound or fire), will have her own agenda against copper Mulik (Stephen Graham) and it all boils down to a very good looking film – but one with an almost nonexistent plot that detracted from the formidably sarcastic “Venom”.

Hardy rarely appears on the show, now that I think about it. Even though it had a pace that passed 90 minutes effortlessly, I was really disappointed in it.

I wasn’t sure if I wanted to keep watching until Florence Pugh was introduced as the protagonist’s sister and the movie began to explore family and moral grey areas. Although no one has x-ray vision, the final half-hour of explosions and twists is a thrilling action sequence.

Although the movie’s insistence on not explaining things to non-MCU fans (a practice it revisits in a final coda) prevents it from being as good as it could have been, it was still a letdown in general

It must be tempting to bring out the old cash cow for one last recording, but this is too much temptation.

Not so much because the story is bad (it is), but because it takes far too long for Neo (Keanu Reeves) and Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) to get going. Reeves has mostly lost his freshness and vigor, and the baddies exude the sour smell of wet lettuce. While its supporting cast is, at best, bizarre – Jonathan Groff and Neil Patrick Harris would do better in familiar roles, and Jessica Henwick’s “Bugs” character was far too flat, even though she was feisty.

Graphics, time-shifting themes, and action scenes are all old hat. Lots of gun-toting, but no innovation. First time around, it was entertaining and escapist, but now at 212 hours, it is slow and repetitive, with some really wilting dialogue, and the real-time/their time narrative just bores me. Although it looks fantastic on a big screen, I fear that what little it has won’t work at all on television, but otherwise, it’s just bad.

As part of its plans to level the town, the umbrella corporation abandons the eponymous town. A series of potentially lethal encounters leads rookie police officer “Leon” (Avon Jogia) to reunite with fellow officer “Chris” (Robbie Amell), his sister “Claire” (Kaya Scodelario), and their colleague “Valentine” (Hannah John-Kamen).

Certainly fans of the games will enjoy it much more than I did, but I simply found this to be a poorly-directed shoot ’em up with nothing original to it, and no amount of swearing and shouting is going to make Robbie Amell a convincing actor.

“Home Sweet Home Alone” is a Comedy 0 Family movie about a young boy who is accidentally left home alone while having to defend his home against a couple who believe he stole a valuable doll. In order to keep them out of his home, he must make every effort to defend it.

Since I did not have any expectations from this movie, I was not disappointed at all. I had already watched all the previous movies of “Home Alone” and, except for the two first original movies, all the others were simply average or slightly below average. Even though Dan Mazer’s direction was not the best, he tried to connect his film with the original “Home Alone” movie from 1990. Archie Yates’ portrayal of Max Mercer was simple but good, while the rest of the cast didn’t meet their potential but even if they had, I doubt it would have saved the film. I hope the movie “Home Sweet Home Alone” will be the last in the franchise and a bad copy of the original “Home Alone”.

The turkey of the year has to be this one. The movie is such a shameless example of bad storytelling, bad acting, and product placement that they might as well have handed you a goodie bag as you (prematurely) left the theater.

The plot revolves around the kidnapping of the son of LeBron James by an evil AI. He can only be rescued by LBJ and “Bugs Bunny” putting together a team that can beat a team selected by the AI. While it is quite nice to see some of Warner’s cartoon characters on screen again, any nostalgia that evokes is soon washed away by the sheer naffness of this whole enterprise. Anyone can guess who this is for – but it sure wasn’t for us.
