[@ThatRandomEncounterGuy]

I’m actually pretty surprised. This is the first time that Brad’s list and someone else’s have been totally unique with nothing shared between them. Though the only ones I disagree with is Halloween Kills and Spiral; I can certainly understand why Eternals is here but I still think it’s way too high.

[@fzcbh4698]

@@klimmr I actually liked SpaceJam 2 and I found it better than the first one as the fact I born in 1991 so the first is more like a childhood for me. But still isn't that great but atleast it is watchable and better than Tom & Jerry, also the animation was great.

[@kingofmonsters14]

as someone with autism, Music actually offended me, and i never feel offended. even with old stuff like Rain Man, i see as products of their time and just accept them. This. This was modern and was claimed to have been made with awareness in mind- pure lies.

I have autism and Rain Man is much more thoughtful because it was modeled after a man who they thought had autism (it turns out 20 years later that doctors diagnosed the man with something else). Dustin Hoffman copied the man’s mannerisms in order to portray that severity of autism as accurately as possible. For someone with more severe autism, it is quite accurate.

isn't it depressing that the brilliant mind of Dolph Lundgren, with a Master's degree in Chemical Engineering, 4th dan black belt in karate, and earned a Fulbright scholarship to MIT ... is wasted in movies like "Pups Alone?"

I guess, but it's not like some great external pressure is stopping him from taking any of a dozen high-skilled chemistry related jobs.

[@KurenaiNanashi]

As talked about in Cynical Reviews the movie Music has ALOT of messed up stuff about it. I fully recommend watching his Music review cause some of the stuff is pretty bad (though not as bad as the baggage for the Mulan live action movie. Now that was a train wreck)

His video was great insight into the major issues surrounding the movie. I feel bad enough for Maddie being in the film given the material and direction she was handed by Sia

[@charlottecorday8494]

Mulan is my pick for movie of the century because it got rid of Lindsay Ellis for us.

[@aussieman3021]

Although the big issue that Cynical Reviews had with his review is that he used functioning labels, which are considered offensive and outdated to a lot of autistics.

[@KurenaiNanashi]

@@aussieman3021 TBF to CR it could just be that he hasn’t heard that before. High and low functioning has been used as terminology for autism for quite awhile now (at least a decade or two) so it could just be he’s used to using terms like that and didn’t know (at the time) the terminology isn’t liked by autists.

[@KurenaiNanashi]

@@charlottecorday8494 err Raya and The Last Dragon is the one that caused the Nostalgia Chick to quit though. From a brief look up on the matter (cause I didn’t know who she was 😂) people got mad because she essentially said Raya was similar to Avatar the Last Airbender (which I can see why she’d say that). Dunno why people would get mad at someone saying a movie was similar to one of the best animated shows America has ever made.

I remember the controversy over that "Simple Jack" part of Tropic Thunder. There was a lot of controversy over that scene from mentally disabled groups. But the film's director, Ben Stiller, said they were parodying non mentally disabled actors playing mentally disabled people because such films are proven Oscar bait. Those roles ended up winning Best Actor Oscars for Cliff Robertson (Charly 1968), Dustin Hoffman (Rain Man 1989) and Tom Hanks (Forrest Gump 1994). Leonardo De Caprio and Sean Penn also won nominations for What's Eating Gilbert Grape and I Am Sam, respectively.

I think I understand for Doug. Doug being exposed to many more films, seeing eternals take itself so seriously and attempt things that are not new to films (albeit some firsts for the MCU) is not groundbreaking or even remotely new/interesting.

What Nooooooo

[@vikingdoug9658]

A girl named Music did Shamylan get his hands on it seriously? Lady in the water movie girl named Story an ancient race called a Narf making a reference to Doug's review of Lady in the Water of course.

I look forward to this every year

[@arrow_of_ravenclaw5155]

I didn’t actually hate anything this year. I saw two technically bad movies; Mortal Kombat and Dear Evan Hansen. I have too much love for the music to hate DEH(I do prefer the original cast recording, and maybe my opinion on the film will worsen since I’m seeing it live soon. Hopefully the Evan on makeup won’t make him look like a melting grandpa,) and I had too much fun with Mortal Kombat. It was the excitement of seeing the fatalities on the big screen. There were two films I didn’t really like, but those are films I’ll acknowledge are good but aren’t really my thing; green knight and nightmare alley

I hate the venom movies they are utter garbage

Haven't heard of any of these movies

[@jacindaellison3363]

@@mkaylor121 ah! Well, hopefully I saved you the trouble in watching them.

The thing with Halloween Kills is the whole town against Michael can be a very cool idea, but it was done so haphazardly, that you start rooting for Michael Myers...except for a few people...

Halloween kills was honestly so terrible that it was entertainingly hilarious at most points. Unlike... All of the other Halloween movies not including 2018 which were a buncha boring snoozfests to sit through...

Inb4 next Christmas when both these guys come back from Turkey and have a full head of hair

I was hoping that Doug reviews Music as the Nostalgia Critic, and I also hope that he doesn't give Autism Speaks (the organisation that Sia worked with to help make the film) a shoutout on his Charity Shoutout that he gives at the end of his Nostalgia Critic videos considering how that organisation actually harms autistics than helps them, especially through all of those fear-mongering PSAs they gave out. Especially considering that Doug gave a shoutout to Next For Autism, an organisation that's exactly the same as Autism Speaks but not as well-known.

[@KingRandor82]

I wanted to call my blog "Real Autism Speak" in part to mock them, but avoided doing so for legal issues. Instead, it's my Twitter/TikTok/IG handle ;)

[@paulwatson3194]

I agree with NC on Eternals. I love comic book movies. The movie lost me at the title crawl.

[@GBmovieluv]

I personally don't agree with the lists, at least the first few mentioned, but it's still entertaining to listen to these guys descriptions and reactions. I look for to these lists

[@michaelmcjunkin1372]

I haven’t seen many films but my worst films would include Coming 2 America, The Protege, Tom & Jerry Movie, and Snake Eyes. And if made for TV movies count, I’d include “Christmas Again?!”

[@Red_Ryan_Red]

I have to watch these movies

[@marclewis5505]

Doug and Brad talking about the bad movies of 2021? Cool!

[@snakehandler87]

Doug got thicc lol

[@KomaJordan]

My worst movie of 2021 is Monster Hunter, it feels like the writers wanted to make a war movie but we’re forced to put in the Monster Hunter IP in, but even if you ignore that this movie’s boring and unmemorable

[@bryanpartington3260]

I loved HALLOWEEN KILLS, but the chants did go on a bit too much . Still a great little movie .

[@GamerFromJump]

I fell bad that _American Siege_ exists. It's basic "Let's elder abuse Bruce Willis to squeeze out a little more cash before he dies or becomes non-functional." So, Hollywood has been told for years that people hate Hollywood condescension, stereotyping, and contempt. So do they _stop_ doing that? Nope, they make _Keren._

[@optimascrime5235]

Even with avoiding as many bad movie's as possible,This year in particular where like they snuck up on me😕.....As in I thought they were going to be good but they weren't😒

[@Jeremy_theGent]

Halloween Kills is NOT the worst Halloween movie, but it is a disappointing follow-up.

[@doctabaldhead]

I don't think it will ever get worse than Halloween 6.

[@Jeremy_theGent]

@@doctabaldhead Oh God. When I hear people say Halloween Kills is terrible, I'm like, "No. I've seen terrible Halloween films. This is definitely not as bad as that."
